Live The Vibrant Life
Life is a mirror: if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you smile, it returns the greeting. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Why didn’t I start earlier? The past can’t be changed, but there’s no better time to start than now. What is the point in trying? Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed? I’m going to treat each day as my last, and make the most out of it. This is too hard. I can’t do it. Success is challenging, but that makes effort worth it. I will grow into my goals. So many people are ahead of me and doing better than I am. Everyone has different journeys and problems. Comparing is a waste of time.
When a problem is disturbing you, don’t ask, “What should I do about it?” Ask, “What part of me is being disturbed by this?” ~ Michael A. Singer
If you struggle with meditation, imagine there’s someone sitting next to you. When thoughts arise, imagine they’re coming from that other person and you just happen to hear them as a passive witness.
Next time you have the thought, “I don’t have enough time.” Try asking yourself “What do I have time for?”. Take advantage of smaller chunks of time to do the things you can do.
One who protects his tongue, honors himself. ~ Proverb
Teenagers complain that no one understands them. But we all feel misunderstood at times. As we age we realize that being misunderstood isn’t such a big deal. It’s more important to understand yourself.
Happiness is a choice. You grieve, you stomp your feet, you pick yourself up, and choose to be happy. ~ Lucy Lawless
I’d rather be what God chose to make than the most glorious creature I could think of; for to be thought about, born in God’s thought, & made by God, is the dearest, grandest & most precious thing
When you worry that someone dislikes you, is upset with you, or that the situation is worse than it truly is, stop and think, “Who told you that?” Usually, you won’t know the answer and will discover that it’s only a thought, which you can choose to reject.
