THINGS WE CAN’T CONTROL

Realize that there will be things in life that you have no control over

no matter how badly you may want to help or change the circumstances. 

All you can do is your best

and then you have to accept that letting go is the only way

to keep your sanity and move on.

 

CHASING THE WRONG THINGS

Sometimes when we try over and over for something that simply isn’t working out, it’s because we are trying for the wrong thing, in the wrong way, or for the wrong reason.

Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate your efforts

The right thing always works out

DREAMS HAVE NO AGE LIMIT

“Dreams have no age limit…no expiration date”

With age comes wisdom, experience and clarity. 

Go for your dreams even when you think it’s too late.

THE TIME IS PERFECT RIGHT NOW

Too many people are so busy living routine and surviving that they are not enjoying life.  They put life on hold because they can always do it tomorrow.  They spend too much time getting ready to get ready instead of taking action today.  They wait until the time is perfect or the storm is over. They are not creating the life they dream about.  And as the years pass by, the dreams seem even further into the future.

Life goes by too fast to wait any longer and

conditions are perfect right now.

Master Your Emotions with Proper Attitude

Our bitterest pain is not physical, but emotional

Disappointments are difficult to accept.  And a broken heart is the deepest pain we will ever experience.  .  None of us get out of life without experiencing deep emotional pain.

The person who wants to commit suicide after a relationship breakup is out of control emotionally and not thinking properly.  Embrace your disappointments so you can turn them into a better life.

The resilience to overcome has a lot to do with your attitude.  Your fruitless efforts are because you are trying for the wrong things.  The relationship that ended was to make room for one that will last.  The job you didn’t get was because there is a better one meant just for you.  The dreams that didn’t work were the wrong dreams.  And the life that didn’t happen the way you hoped it would is to be recreated with a better life more authentic with who you are.

There’s always another tomorrow, another relationship, a better job, new dreams and a richer life waiting to be created.  

But you have to adopt the proper attitude to believe this.

THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS

Never, ever underestimate the power of your words.

The power of your words are too strong to ignore.  They can destroy or strengthen a relationship, a mind, a heart, a life.  They can break a home, a person, a soul.   And once harmful words are spoken, they can change the trajectory of your life forever.

But to inspire, encourage, love and motivate a person with your words can change their life for the better and heal.

GENIUS AND TALENT ARE IN ALL OF US

Genius and talent are in all of us but many people keep it buried 

We dream about what we want, but do nothing about it 

We spend our lives in monotonous, unsatisfying routine while our dreams die 

We envision we will do it later, but it never happens

This is why so many people live unfulfilling lives way beneath them 

They have untapped passion and talent never put to use

Believe in yourself and take action

It’s never too late and you don’t want to look back one day and wish you had

YOU HAVE TO EARN IT TO APPRECIATE IT

“People don’t value what they don’t earn, pay for, work for or invest in”

Velinda

Be careful what you give to your children without having them earn it.  If they are given too much without earning it, they will grow to always expect a hand out.  They will not develop into someone who knows how to survive on their own and make life happen.  They do not become self-sufficient.  One of the best things you can do for your children is teach them how to live life on their own.

 

TRUST

There is something so precious about trust.  When my daughter gives her cat a bath to get rid of the fleas, he looks up at her with complete trust in his eyes as if to say, “I don’t know why you are doing this horrible thing to me, but I know you love me so I trust you”.

When we violate trust, it is sometimes everlasting and very hard to forgive.  Even when we do forgive, it takes forever to rebuild.

Great relationships are built on love, trust, friendship, respect, and communication to name a few.  When you violate trust, you tear away at all the values of a relationship. 

Think twice before you violating trust in someone you love.  Relationships are more important than anything.

 

Embrace Rock Bottom

There is something very beautiful that can be found at bottom.  Rock bottom is when you are free.  There’s nothing left to lose.  You’re free to start over.  You can do anything you want.  You can be anything you want.  There’s nothing holding you back.  It’s a time for reflection and change.  It’s another chance with an open canvas.  And there is a whole new life waiting.
