Little Moments
February
‘Life is a succession of moments,
to live each one is to succeed.’
Corita Kent
Enjoy the present and celebrate it
Honor the Past. Celebrate the Present. Embrace the Future. The present is all we truly have. While there is wisdom in preparing for the future, you can get lost in it and miss what you are truly experiencing. The present is your time to live and to create your evolving history.
Remember that you are unique
Just like everyone else. We are all uniquely the same. As different as we all are, and as original as we may strive to be, every individual accomplishment is a gain for all humanity. Appreciate that we all share a human experience, but each through our own individual perspective.
You are your own best friend
‘You, yourself, as much as anyone in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.’ ~Buddha
Always be there for you. Way too often we wholeheartedly neglect ourselves. Get used to the idea that you are worthy of your own love and you will get that strange and wonderful feeling that you are your own best friend. Be gentle, be kind, be soft, be friendly to yourself and tell yourself with all your heart ‘I love you!’
Cherish the temple you live in
Take care of your body. Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish the temple you live in.
Welcome change
It is full of opportunities. Do you embrace the road you are now on or do you resist, react, and avoid change at all costs? It’s a choice that will either paralyze you or propel you forward towards growth.
A belief is just a belief
Not the truth! A belief is an assumed truth. We create beliefs to understand the world around us and once we have formed a belief, we will tend to persevere with it. A belief is personal. It is your perception of a situation. You have beliefs about what you’re capable of, about what’s possible or impossible, about who you are. So understand that your beliefs are what you are just assuming to be true. Challenge them. Reframe them. They can be changed.
Smile!
How many times can you smile today? Let’s start now: smile!
You are always at the right place at the right time
Doing just the right thing. In order to experience peace of mind and joy in the present moment, trust and have faith that you are always in the right place at the right time. Be grateful for every second of the day, for it is exactly what you need.
You are worth loving
Because you exist. We’re all perfectly imperfect just as we are. Be human. Be perfectly imperfect. Be you. Just be.
‘You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.’ ~Brene Brown
Life is what you make it
All little choices add up. Improve the quality of those choices, and you will improve the quality of your situation. You don’t have to change the whole world to make a noticeable difference in your life. The small changes in what you altogether make a big improvement.
Be a master of your own beautiful experience
Instead of being a slave to the clock. Slow down, stop rushing and start putting real quality, substance and richness into whatever moment you’re in. Get the full value out of what’s now.
Get going, keep going
With your destination in mind. It’s great to make detailed plans, but you can’t possibly figure out every detail in advance. Get going, keep going, with a clear destination always in mind, and you’ll discover how to make your way there.
Life gets better and better
Life actually get better after 25. The older you get the happier you are so things can only keep looking up from here! You’re only going to keep evolving and figuring out what drives you and makes you feel fulfilled in life. You might still be a bit neurotic and things will never be exactly perfect, but you’ll only continue to feel more content as you grow older.
Love others
Know they’re doing their best. Love is more than a feeling. It is an attitude. Love is an action. Love is a choice. When you love unselfishly, you will experience deeper and more fulfilling gratification in personal relationships.
Your thoughts are your best friends
You are what you think. So watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny!
You make a difference
Put your skills to work. You have proven you can make a difference. Think of how you can apply that ability to make this a richer, more fulfilling and enjoyable day. Take a deep breath, feel your strength, your competence, and your desire to bring new beauty to life. Be thankful for the progress you’ve been able to create.
Relax and enjoy life
Have fun! Learn to relax, let go and enjoy life a little more. Things aren’t as bad as your mind is trying to make you think. They really aren’t. Learn to quiet your mind from to time. Make peace with yourself. Work on purifying your thoughts and you’ll end up purifying your entire life. It’s that simple…
Stop and pay attention
What are you telling yourself? Every day, you talk to yourself more than any other person talks to you. You have an enormous influence over your own thoughts and actions. The things you tell yourself you accept and believe virtually without question. What are you saying to yourself every day? Stop and pay attention…
Accept yourself
Just as you are. Stop trying to make everyone like you and stop trying to be something you are not. There’s a reason why you were made the way you are. If we were all supposed to be the same, we would be. When you learn to accept yourself, you’re likely to find that others will accept you too.
Good things are on the way
Just believe. Good things are coming down the road. Just keep walking.
Every day is a precious gift
Every single moment is a blessing. Nothing can match the value of waking up to a new day that is filled with possibilities. Little troubles and inconveniences have no right to hold you down. They’re nothing compared to the good things you have. How will you celebrate your good fortune today?
This is life
It is not a rehearsal. You only get one chance to live your life. There are no do overs. Put your whole heart into everything you do in life, because it’s the only time you’ll live it.
Live your love
Live your passion. Find out what it is that YOU wish for. Live up to your own standards. Find your passion and live your dreams. Life is yours to live right now. Be true, be you.
Everything will happen at the right time
Timing is everything. If it’s meant to happen it will, at the right time for the right reasons.
‘Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason’
~Albert Schweitzer
The days will pass
Make good use of them. You can do it if you choose to do it. So choose now to do it. Set a goal and make it happen. Keep going until you have it done. Success is just a matter of choosing to make it happen, and then using the best of what you have to get there. Show yourself and all the world how good life can be.
The heart can see what’s invisible to the eye
You can see much with your eyes, but it is with your heart that you sees, feels, and perhaps understand love. Seeing with your heart is looking at life with empathy, guidance and a willingness to learn and to love.
Become the witness of your thoughts
Witnessing = observing + non-attachment. Become a neutral observer of your own life. Become a neutral observer of your own thoughts. The witness place inside you is simple awareness, the part of you that is aware of everything. Just noticing, watching, not judging, just being present, being here now.
Prosperous thoughts create a prosperous world
For every outside effect is an inner cause which has its origin in your inner or mental world. This is the essence of thought power. The conditions and circumstances of your life are as a result of your collective thoughts and beliefs. Create a prosperous world with your prosperous thoughts!
