Negativity Committee

I think this is a must.

As of late, the negativity committee seems to be in full swing for many of us.

It is time to do this NOW.

Are you struggling?

I know I am.

I have no idea where the month of February went.

I swear it was just January, really wasn't it?

 This really says it all

I promise I will never QUIT ... I may say I QUIT when I am totally frustrated but then I will take a deep breath and carry on.

Are you with me?  We CAN do this together.

Yes, I AM going to make it

 

Do you ever wonder if you can do that which you have wanted to do since you were a child?  Or when you became an adult?

I know there are times that I wonder if I am on the right path.  I wonder if I should just throw in the towel because it just doesn't seem to be working out.

That's why I keep this one on my phone.  I'm thinking I should make it my screen saver.

Are you truly happy?

 Before you answer, look at this.

I know that there are times I really get annoyed when the "direct" path I have in mind gets detoured.

Then I saw this sign above a door in the hospital when I was visiting my dad a little more than a year ago.  I stopped thinking about being annoyed and more about what the detour was telling me.

Sometimes the best things are shown to us when we least expect it and many times when we are off of our prepared plans.

So enjoy those detours ... it could be sending you in the direction of your best choices.

Know your worth

I have seen something similar to this a couple of times recently and started to wonder if perhaps the universe is trying to tell me something.  

I started thinking maybe, in addition to taking it to heart, I need to share this for someone else as well.  

If it is for you .. I hope you embrace it.

A father was very proud of his daughter, so proud of all she had accomplished so far.  He couldn't wait to tell his daughter just how much.

He said, "Congratulations on your graduation. 

I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."

But before I give it to you though, I want you to take it to a car dealer in the city see how much they offer you to sell it.
The girl came back to her father and said: 

"They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old".

Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".

The girl returns to her father and said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car and a lot of work needs to be done".

Her father told her to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car. The girl drove to the passionate car club. 

She returned to her father after a few hours and told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100,000 dollars because its a rare car that's in good condition.”

Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place.

"Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."

Know your worth and know where you are valued.

A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.

If you are feeling broken

 I have found that this is a wonderful piece to keep close to your heart when those days have you feeling like there is something broken inside.

You could have that feeling of being broken because of something or someone that you lost.  It could just be because you feel like something is missing, but can't put your finger on what it is.

Be that piece repaired with the Gold of Love.  You are a special and unique beauty that needs to be regarded as such - even by YOU.

The impossible journey

What do you think?

After everything that has happened in the last year and a half, I am  thinking that this is spot on. 

 

We need to make sure that we are out of the comfort zone that many have seemed to embrace to stay home and "wait it out".

It's time, past time, to start living again and find out footing in the world.

Make them feel like Royalty

 This may seem a little trite, but if you really think about it, you will admit that it is true.

If you are always making people feel like they are stupid or below you, you have to wonder why.  Do you need to make them feel bad about themselves so that you feel better about yourself?

If that is true, perhaps you need to ask what problems do you have deep down inside that makes you need to feel superior?

If what you do is make others proud to be them, they will be better able to achieve all that they can.  They can be the best possible person that they can be.

And THAT should be our goal.  

If we can make others feel good about themselves, then we too will feel good about ourselves.   

Let's face it, if we all feel good about US, the world will be a better place.

At the end of every day

 make sure that you are trying to put the hard or difficult things that happened that day in it's own space so that you can end the day being happy.

Trust me, it will make you feel better so that you can tackle whatever it was tomorrow.  Just a few hours of happiness can make those difficult things so much easier to handle. 

Two Dates

 

I love this one.  

I need to find something like this as a key chain or something similar so that it will always be with me.

I think we all need to be reminded that we need to LIVE each day and not just exist.  

I know you are probably saying .. but we do live each day. 

My response ... Are you sure you are living or are you just getting through the day?

And if you can truly say that you are living ... 

Congratulations.  

Please do it again tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that.
