Are you ready to taste the sweetness of each day?? If not, what is holding you back?

This goes with the last post really... it is up to you to do just that. It is up to you!!!

This is a bit like that statement "bloom where you are planted" because it both means the same thing. If you always think you will be happier somewhere else, then you will never be happy anywhere. Be happy where you are. Somehow, in each day, find something that makes you smile, makes you happy. Do it. Soon you will find that you are being happy... in even the little things every day!

How many times have we lost someone/something and think, if I knew what that meant before, I would have looked at things, done things differently. Seems often we allow ourselves to drop back into that old comfort zone. You want a different life? Look at things differently. Realize we hold ourselves back from our dreams.

Too many times we allow others to be in control of our emotions. Why? I would guess there are as many answers to that as there are people or possible answers. Others can only manipulate our feelings if we allow them to. If we stop and look at the situation as an 'outsider' we may realize the problem is theirs, not ours and move on, without feeling the hurt, guilt, anger or what ever other feeling they hope we will feel.

Time to be in control of your own emotions.

How many of us show who we REALLY are? Are there people who know you for you? Do you know the real you deep inside... accept that person and love that person for who they are?  We all have to start there....

I personally think it is where you must find it first. That way no matter where you are or what is happening around you, you can find your peace within.

Peace

Peace is something we all need to feel. It allows us to hear that little voice within us. It allows us to breathe. It allows us. Find your place of peace and go there daily. Let go of the stress and tension and feel the peace.

Believe in you!

We all have something special. We just have to believe it is there, let it out to shine and be who we are. Do you believe in yourself...?? Take time today to give it some thought. Start telling yourself that you are special, you have something special within you. It does make a difference.

Repeat after me.

"I am amazing."

Hope

That often fragile feeling that is hard to describe. It can turn your day around, it can actually make your mood change. It is what can make you look forward to the next day, next week... rest of your life. But we must have it. Even the tiniest amount is all we need.. hold on to your hope.
