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.

“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
“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.
“The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires”
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?
We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Some days you just have to go against what everyone else is doing, do what is in your heart, be yourself and do what you want. You tell the world…”This is ME, like it or not”

“When it seems that everything you do is wrong and everyone is against you, it is the most opportune time to wear your I-don’t-give-a-damn tutu and glide gleefully on the dance floor of “this is my life”
Dodinsky’s Garden of Thoughts
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually who are we not to be? When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others” Marianne Williamson

” 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”
