You are Enough

7/31/2018

0 Comments

 
Some of us need a reminder, whether it be occasionally or several times per day. 

You are enough.

You were born just as you were meant to be born into this world. You are whole. You do not need to seek or get approval from others.

Just do the right things (such as being a kind, patient, compassionate, and law-abiding person), and know that you are doing the best that you can possibly do at the present time.

Stay true to yourself, meaning stay true to who you really are, and remember to be kind to everyone, including yourself.  :-)

​You are enough.

Have a terrific, true Tuesday!  :-)

Monday Morning Motivation

7/30/2018

0 Comments

 
Good morning!

Do you need a little Monday morning motivation?

Let's set our intentions high today. We are going to make this a motivational Monday!

What should we list as our highest priorities today? To be kind, compassionate, and caring? To be helpful and humble?

Of course all of us have our responsibilities that must be met today. We have to be motivated to work efficiently so that we can do what needs to be done. This refers to our productivity.

It is just as important (if not more important) for us to set our intentions and prioritize how we want to "be" today. In other words, what attributes or characteristics do you want to take on or display today? What type of person do you want to be today? You could set your intentions to be a patient, loving, and compassionate individual.

Let's use light and love with everything we do and say today. Intend to make this world a better place for ourselves and others.

We can make this a Monday that is filled with positive motivation.

Make it a magnificent Monday!  :-)

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Encourage, lift and strengthen one another. For the positive energy spread to one will be felt by us all. For we are connected, one and all.

From afar, the flowers look mostly white with a tint of light blue or lavender. Up close, as in this photo, subtle striations of lavender, blue, and white are visible. Nature is art!  :-)

Treasure of Happiness

Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
~ Lawrence G. Lovasik ~
