You Have to Take Chances

“You have to take risks…ask a good looking man for his phone number, send the resume to your dream job, buy a lottery ticket…life doesn’t happen unless you take chances.  You won’t get a second chance so you open yourself up to the possibility.

Teri Hatcher

Only You…

‎”There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU.
YOU are the only person who can revolutionize your life.
YOU are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success.
YOU are the only person who can help yourself.
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes.
Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that YOU ARE the only one responsible for your life!”

 

Just a Reminder…

To Say Yes to Life

Life is meant to be lived in eternal joy, infinite freedom, unconditional love and unbounded happiness.  Any other life is missing the point of being human.  So think bigger, forget limits, embrace the idea of endless possibility, break the rules, forgive quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. 

It will all change you.

And remember, the things that matter most  in life are free.

We Belong to Each Other

I was thinking last night while watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics about what a happy atmosphere the ceremonies were.  People representing 204 countries…smiling, hopeful, happy, excited, and friendly with each other.  The Olympics represent excellence and the best in all of us.  There is no separation in their minds, only the pursuit of dreams.  It’s a coming together of the world in a most positive way.  

Hmmmm…peace sure is a lot more beautiful than war and hatred.

“If we have no peace it is because we have forgotten we belong to each other”

Mother Theresa

Have Your Best Day Ever

The reality of death and that we are all here only for a short time is one of the greatest reminders to embrace what’s important and quit focusing on small things.  The small things take up so much of what we think about and focus on. And then we worry about what other people think, will we fail, that we aren’t good enough, what if, etc.   Honestly, does any of that matter?  

 Don’t let anything stop you from living, dreaming, loving, and following your heart.  It’s all too short and sometimes we don’t get a second chance.  Today, do something different you’ve always wanted to do and see how amazing you feel.

 

Life is such an amazing gift and it is our responsibility to live it in alignment with our authentic selves, focusing always on what and who is important.  If you haven’t been living your best life, don’t  waste another minute.  You can change right now.  You don’t need another day, to first finish whatever, to have more money, or to wait for anything…now is all you need to start fully living.

 Have your best day ever.

Victim or Inspiration?

“Happiness studies have shown that happy people are the ones whose goals and actions are aligned.  Are you going to be a victim, or are you going to be an inspiration who refuses to give up? I know what I want to be.”

Evan Mark Katz

We All Have Peaks and Valleys

“There was a time in life when I didn’t love myself enough to love anyone else. We all have peaks and valleys and it’s in the valleys that you learn who you are”

Mary J. Bligh at the Grammy Awards

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.

Loving Yourself

“The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires”

Stephen R. Covey

Self Love

I might not be someone’s first choice, but I am a great choice.  

I may not be rich, but I am valuable.  I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not, because I’m good at being me.  

I might not be proud of some of the things I’ve done in the past, but I am proud of who I am today.

 I may not be perfect but I don’t need to be.  Take me as I am, or watch me as I walk away.

What is the most loving thing you can do for yourself today?
