Rate Yourself

When you wake up in the morning rate yourself on a scale of 1 – 10, “10” being the highest rating you can give. Now see if you can’t beat that number at the end of the day.

Make A Difference In The World

You don’t need a title or a lot of money to make a difference in this world. All you need is the willingness of an open heart.

Be Open to All the Gifts

Be kind to all you meet. You never know who will come into your life and what purpose they will serve you. They could teach you a lesson, get you over an obstacle or inspire you not to give up. Be open to all the gifts that come into your life.

Penalized For Something You Said or Did

Do you always want to be penalized for something you said or did 10 years ago? Well, neither does anyone else. So stop judging someone base on this one incident that happened a lifetime ago and see that for who they really are. We all change and grow, and this includes you.

ANYTHING WORTH WANTING IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR IN LIFE.

Deposit Happiness

Deposit happiness into your day, instead of withdrawing sadness.

Arigato from Japan

When there’s a natural disaster in the world we unite as One. No longer
does race, creed, color or religion separate us. This is what we do for each
other!

A Waste of Your Time

Be Open

We all have something to teach and learn from one another.  Be open to all that come into your life. You never know who will come into it and change it.

Wrong Side of the Bed

Remember; give it time because nothing happens overnight.

The Journey

Sometimes, when we work long and hard toward a goal or a dream, we want to give up because it’s taking so long or it seems fruitless. Don’t give up, go the distance and see it through. As they say, “the journey isn’t about reaching the top of the mountain, its what you learn along the way.”

1 Minute Motivation

Gratitude is Everything

I’ve learned not to take anything for granted. What is given to us can be taken from us in one stroke. So I see each gift as a blessing and give thanks for it. This also serves as a way to inform the gift giver you appreciate their gift, whether it was kind word, a generous thought or something bought with affection. If we don’t communicate the gift giver won’t know how rich they’ve made our life. Gratitude is Everything!

People Complain About Their Life

 I often hear people complain about where they come from and this is why they live a life of disadvantage.

Because what makes life so awesome is that we all have the choice to choose where we go in life.

Help Each Other

I believe that we’re all on this planet together. Life isn’t meant to be completely selfish, we’re here to give to and help each other. Right now there are countless people who could use a helping hand so why not give back a little? You don’t necessarily have to give money. You can give some of your time or experience to help someone else with something you’ve already overcome. Helping someone else is one of the most rewarding things you can do.

True Humility

"Some persons are always ready to level those above them down to themselves, while they are never willing to level those below them up to their own position. But he that is under the influence of true humility will avoid both these extremes. On the the one hand, he will be willing that all should rise just so far as their diligence and worth of character entitle them to; and on the other hand, he will be willing that his superiors should be known and acknowledged in their place, and have rendered to them all the honors that are their due."

Jonathan Edwards

Positive Effect of Kindness

The positive effect of kindness on the immune system and on the increased production of serotonin in the brain has been proven in research studies. Serotonin is a naturally occurring substance in the body that makes us feel more comfortable, peaceful, and even blissful. In fact, the role of most anti-depressants is to stimulate the production of serotonin chemically, helping to ease depression. Research has shown that a simple act of kindness directed toward another improves the functioning of the immune system and stimulates the production of serotonin in both the recipient of the kindness and the person extending the kindness. Even more amazing is that persons observing the act of kindness have similar beneficial results. Imagine this! Kindness extended, received, or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved!

- Wayne Dyer

Give Pleasure to A Single Heart

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

- Mahatma Gandhi

Know Yourself

Look into the depths of your own soul and learn first to know yourself, then you will understand why this illness was bound to come upon you and perhaps you will thenceforth avoid falling ill.

There Is A Purpose Behind You

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny -- he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.

-Osho

Change Your Words. Change Your World.

Action Signals

Here ere are 10 Action Signals:

1. Uncomfortable -  When you feel uncomfortable, this is a signal to change your state.  Clarify what you want, then take action in that direction.
2. Fear – Fear is a signal to prepare ourselves or get prepared.  Get yourself prepared to deal with something that’s about to come.  If it’s beyond your control, then change your perception and let it go.
3. Hurt -   Hurt is a signal that you have an expectation that’s not being met or you have a sense of loss.   Evaluate whether there really is a loss.   Next, change your perception or change your way of communicating your needs or change your behavior.
4. Anger -  This is a signal that an important rule that you have in your life has been violated by somebody else or maybe even you.  Clarify your rules or adjust them.  Your rules might not match other people’s rules so if you don’t change them, you might be angry the rest of your life.
5. Frustration -  The signal is you’re doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result.  You need to change your approach to achieving your goal.
6. Disappointment – This is a signal that you need to realize that an expectation or an outcome you had won’t happen, and you need to change your expectation.  For example, maybe your timeframe was too short.
7. Guilt – Guilt is a signal that you violated one of your own standards.  Don’t stay in guilt, but don’t deny it.  Make things right when you screw up. When you can’t change the past, change your present and future behaviors.  Recognize when you’re feeling guilty when you shouldn’t be, change your perception, and let it go.
8. Inadequacy – This is a signal that you need to do something to get better.  Get up and do something to get better or change your criteria.  Maybe your rules are too harsh.  You don’t have to be perfect – you simply need to start taking action, such as go practice, to improve at whatever it is.
9. Overloaded –  This is a signal to reevaluate what is most important to you in this situation.  Distinguish between what is a necessity versus. what is a desire.  Prioritize your list.  Take the first one on your list and do something about it.  Do something to take control of events instead of let them control you.  The simplest way is to chunk it down, take one thing, and act on it.
10. Loneliness -  The signal is we need a connection with people.  Clarify what kind of connection you need: basic friendship, somebody to laugh with, somebody to listen to you, etc.  Then change your approach or change your perception..

These are some of the most effective and actionable guidance on mastering emotions.  Rather than simply dismiss your negative emotions or suppress them, it’s about embracing them, and using them to inspire action.  It’s a way to empower yourself to make meaningful changes in your life, and make the most of any negative emotion to avoid spiraling down or stewing in your own juices.
You control your emotions instead of letting your emotions control you.

Have the Courage to Express Your Feelings

Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

Just Give

Giving is so much better than getting. Give with no expectation of getting something in return, and it becomes a purer, more beautiful act. To often we give something and expect to get an equal measure in return — at least get some gratitude or recognition for our efforts. Try to let go of that need, and just give.

The Need To Be Right

The need to be right cultivates more negative thoughts because of our unwillingness to let go of whatever the issue was in the first place. To find some peace and happiness, sometimes we just need to let it go.
