Reflections on life...
Whatever we do life reflects
them back at some point. Knowingly or unknowingly we tend to ignore what
is good and bad. We forget to live and never stop to think until it is
too late. Here are some points to ponder:
Live for a reason!
Do good deeds, so that you leave behind you a monument of virtue that
the storms of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love,
and mercy on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by
year, and you will never be forgotten. Your name and your good deeds
will shine as the stars of heaven.
 You are what you think!
Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or
unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak
because what you impress upon your mind is what you will inevitably
become. It’s a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish
you must first impress upon your subconscious mind. Relentless,
repetitive self talk will change your self image. You affect your
subconscious mind with verbal repetition and constant repetition carries
conviction.
When you change your values you change your behaviour so, start
thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Self
suggestion will make you the master of yourself, if you believe you can;
and become whatever you want to be.
Change your attitude and thinking!
in each task that must be done, there is opportunity. See the task
not as a burden, but as an encouragement to be fully alive and
effective. The real burden would be the inability to do anything. No
task is a burden, but is instead the chance to express your own
aliveness.
Does work seem dreary, unimaginative, tedious or boring? That’s
mainly because your attitude makes it so. See what happens when you
start by being thankful for the opportunity to do it. Your genuine
gratitude will help you to see the positive value.
When the things you must do become things you want to do, it can
transform your life. Each moment takes on more meaning; each effort
brings greater and greater reward. Rather than fighting and forcing
yourself to do what must be done, let go of your resistance and allow
yourself to accomplish. Let what you must, become what you want, and
watch yourself begin to soar.
Slow down, don’t hurry
Life is not a race. It is a journey. Getting some place first, before
anyone else, has very little real and lasting meaning. Seek instead to
encourage others to come along, and you’ll find the journey much more
fulfilling.
The terrains of life are filled with wonderful and astounding detail
so, slow down and take in its richness. When you hurry through each
moment, you miss out on the richness that could be yours.
Take the time to live, to experience where you are, rather than being
so obsessed with getting to the next point.
When you stop demanding to have it all now, you’ll discover that you
have plenty already and learn to experience joy where you are, and
you’ll experience it in abundance. Even though it can be wonderfully
exhilarating when life is moving quickly, but do not move so quickly
because speed becomes your only experience, for there is so much more to
enjoy.
You maybe one step away
If you were just one step away from reaching your goal, would you
take that step? How do you know, right now, that you’re not? What a
shame it would be to stop making the effort, when just a little bit more
would make it all worthwhile. What a shame it would be to have taken all
those steps, only to miss the very last one. The next step you take may
very well be the one that makes all the others count. You owe it to
yourself, and the efforts you’ve made, to keep going.
No, the next step may not get you there, but what about the one after
that? If you keep moving ahead, a little at a time, you will indeed
arrive. When you take that final, triumphant step, you’ll be so very
thankful you persevered because at some point success is just one step
away. Keep going and you’ll be there!
Thoughts of wisdom
Don’t love the Heart that hurts you and don’t hurt the Heart that
loves you. A change of heart changes everything! Don’t cry over anyone
who won’t cry over you!
Don’t forget good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and
impossible to forget. Most people walk in and out of your life, but only
friends leave footprints in your heart. And true friendship “never” ends
they are forever!
