I Intend to be Happy

“I intend to be happy! I like to be alive. I like to feel good. That is what I like about myself”

Linda

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who are hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried…for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything.  They make the most of everything they have and everything that comes to them.  If you pursue happiness, it will elude you.  But if you focus on what’s important to you with a positive outlook, happiness will find you.

What if Life has a Better Plan?

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. 
Joseph Campbell

 “Let go of plans. Life may have a better plan”
Robert Holden PhD


The Truth is always There

The only people mad at you for speaking the truth are those who are living a lie.  Unknown

The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.  Winston Churchill

What’s Important is My Opinion

” Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn’t have the time to sit around and talk about you. What’s important to me is not others’ opinions of me, but what’s important to me is my opinion of myself”

Resistance to Fear

Most fears we have never happen, however, when we focus on them and hold tight to them, they have a way of manifesting themselves. So if you are going to give in to your fears you might as well open the door for them and invite them in.

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear”   Mark Twain

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Beautiful People do not Just Happen

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
Dr.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Your Story

I would rather die living than live dying. 

 Some people are afraid to live.  They play it safe and become a prisoner of what they never wanted.  They have dreams and even believe in themselves, but give up too easily.  Then their soul dies.

 But there is a dream that belongs to you only and you can’t be afraid to pursue it.

 I would rather die living my dream than survive living a life that isn’t me.

 “People suffer when they pursue a life or chase a dream that doesn’t belong to them”  Caroline Myss

When You Live for Today

When you live for today,
Rather than in the past or for the future.
When you stop looking for happiness
And start giving it to others.
When you want less of what you can see
And more of what you can’t see.
When anything in the world could be yours
And you choose the simple things.
When you have something to live for
That makes you feel alive.
When joy doesn’t depend upon the external
But upon the eternal.
When your life has roots
And your dreams have wings.
When you know the value of love
And value it above all else.
When you never let go of hope
But hold onto it for life.
When you have a purpose to fulfill
That fulfills you.
 
When you haven’t the strength to go on
But you’ve too much heart to give up.
When you aren’t led by your fears
But by your faith.
When you can find something good in the bad
And consider it a blessing.
When you would take nothing
For what is most important to you.
When you realize that success and failure
Are only what you think.
When you know the storms of life
Will pass on to a brighter day.
When you don’t waste time worrying
But use it to make a difference.
When you need something to stand on,
And your standards speak for themselves.
When you accept life on its own terms
And use them to determine your own.
When you are touched by the beauty around you
And the world is touched
by the beauty in you……

ABC’s of Happiness

“If you don’t like what is going on in your life you need to devise a way to make yourself happy.  No one can make you unhappy unless you let them.  Things can make you unhappy, but you learn from these situations”

Joan Lucas

 

Faith…What Other Choice Is There?

Believe in faith, believe that life will turn out well.  First believe that there is something better out there than what you have been experiencing.  So believe in faith…what other choice is there?
