All The Good
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, for as long as you can.
Appreciation of What We Have
Appreciate life even it’s not perfect. Happiness is not fulfillment of what we wish for, but an appreciation of what we have.
Focus On It
Dream about your ideal life. Focus on it until you know exactly what it looks like. Then wake up and do at least one thing every day to make it a reality.

A Problem Isn't A Problem
Expect problems and then overcome them, go around them, jump over them, run through them, eat them up and spit them out. Pain is nothing to a giant. A problem isn’t a problem. It’s just a test to qualify you for the next level. So pass the test!
People Seek A Good Life . . .
People seek a good life, position and wealth. But they do not seek good qualities, right knowledge and right conduct; wealth has become all-important and righteousness has receded.
Nobody Knows Everything
Listen to Everyone and Learn from everyone. Because nobody knows everything but everyone knows something.

Take Care of Yourself
You wanted to help someone out. You thought you could accomplish what you promised. But now certain circumstances have gotten in the way of fulfilling that promise, just be honest – with yourself and with anyone involved. You can put off what you offered to do, and no one will think less of you. Take care of yourself now.
Impact
When you interact with someone today, leave a lasting impression that will impact their life.

One Grain of Sand
My wish is for you to become aware of your thoughts and see how they make you feel. Do your thoughts and conversations empower or dis-empower you? Being optimistic isn’t burying your head in the sand, rather it’s seeing that one grain of sand that can turn the situation around into building a castle rather than slinging mud.
Breathing In Fresh Thoughts
Breathe in love, exhale fear. Breathe in compassion, exhale judgment. Breathe in forgiveness, exhale blame. Breathe in abundance, exhale lack. By breathing in fresh thoughts, where you once flew, you can now soar. BREATHE!

Come Into Alignment
The more love and care you send out toward a person or issue, the more you come into alignment with your spirit, and the more your intuition comes on-line.
Settle for Less
Never settle for less than you’re worth. Respect and love yourself, set the standard for others, or you will fail in your search to find the kind of love you want.
People Seldom Improve
People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy.

A Lasting Relationship Is Built On. . .
When you remove your insecurity and jealousy, only then can real love can come into your life. A lasting relationship is built on trust and communication. Anything else and you’re setting yourself up for disaster.
Who's Worth Your Tears
In life, you’re going to be left out, talked about, lied to and used. But you have to decide who’s worth your tears and who’s not.
Your Beliefs Don't Make You A Better Person, Your Behavior Does
Just because a belief is a belief that is sufficient enough for you to feel strong about, doesn't mean that everyone around you will receive it. Think about all of the times that you have experienced in life in which some people just refused to hear or try to understand what a person was saying that made absolute logical sense because they were more than likely thinking irrationally.
In life we must remember that our beliefs in life will always vary at least a small bit from anyone person who has their own free will to think. In life we must give focus to being ourselves and behaving as best as we possibly can. Do the things that you feel in your heart that are right to do, focus on treating every one with kindness and patience, and never forget that you are no better than anyone else, but you are no less than any man either.

Befor You. . .
Before you assume, learn. Before you judge, understand. Before you hurt, feel. Before you say, think.
The Six D's
Success focuses on the six D’s: Desire, Determination, Discipline, Devotion, Dedication, and Destiny.
I Wish I Was Pretty
Next time you look at someone thinking, ‘I wish I was that pretty.’ Remember that another person is thinking that same thought about you.

Create Light of Your Life.
It doesn't matter for how long the room has been dark; for a day, or a week, or a year, or for ten thousand years. The moment you bring in a candle; darkness vanishes like it was never there. Similarly, it doesn't matter for how long we are stuck in a sense of our limitations. The moment you decide to break free, nothing will stop you. Create the light of your life.
Give Someone You Love . . .
Good morning, give someone you love a big hug and tell them you love them because they just might need it this morning.
Value the Contributions
Reach out to someone to express that you value the contributions they’ve made in your life.

Abusive Relationship
Being in an abusive relationship is nothing to be ashamed of or to fear what others will think. What’s important is that you know there are places and people that can help you. All you need to do is find the power and courage to seek them out.
A Gift
A gift needn’t be expensive to have great value for both the giver and the recipient. You want the gift to express your deepest feelings – your love, your caring, your thoughtfulness, your gratitude, and your understanding of the other person. Because this gift carries so much importance, you think of giving something costly. Think on another level – you’re expressing yourself from the heart, not from your wallet.
YOU
A thought: I will never regret you, or say that I wish I’d never met you, because once upon a time, you were exactly what I needed.

Too Much Stress
Dealing with stress and anxiety is something that everyone will experience in their lifetime at some moment. As society advances and time passes talking about stress, and new ways to deal with stress are becoming more common. Stress in minimal amounts is normal and is even considered a positive reinforcement for ones mind, jogging it by making it use problem-solving skills. Stress in more demanding amounts isn't really considered healthy, because of its adverse physical, emotional, and spiritual effects on a person. Some effects of stress may include but are not limited to depression, high blood pressure, and even suicide.
Too much stress can be combated in a variety of ways. Stress amounts may be limited with a good amount of preparation. Stress may also be eased with the use of calming techniques, such as going for a walk, listening to music, working out, and praying. It is important not to stress or worry about things that are out of your control, and to focus your problem solving skills and efforts on fixing things that you can work out on your own, and with the support of our loved ones our stresses will ease tremendously.

Be Proud of Who You Are
In order to be proud of whom you are, one must figure out who they are. Society today tells us that there are certain ways to gain notoriety and popularity and many people instead of presenting themselves to the world as the person that they really are, choose to present themselves to the world as similar to the images of people who are known as possible, in order to gain a false sense of confidence and self esteem.
Real confidence and real self esteem stems from presenting yourself to the world as the person that you really are, and going after the things in your heart that you know will help change the world in order to make it a better place. Being proud of who you are is being yourself on a daily basis, and showing the world that despite what popular opinion says and does, being yourself is the biggest most honest statement anyone can ever present to the world.

Transform a Difficult Situation
If you’re feeling hurt, slighted, or insulted, you need to offer kindness, compassion and a bright smile to the offender. If you do, you can transform a difficult situation to something good.
One Never Knows
Let problems fall away and be replaced with wonderful new opportunities. One never knows what good things can come your way, when you’re open to accept them.
Be Happy Today
Be Happy Today. Each morning when you open your eyes, say to yourself: You, and not the day's events have the power to make you happy for unhappy today. You can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. You have just one day - Today. When you start your day; tell yourself, I'm going to be happy today.

Eliminate the Negative
Instead of focusing on all the bad in your life, be thankful for all the good in it. When you recognize each day is a blessing, you eliminate the negative and see the positive.
Your Situation Won't Change
Just because things aren’t going the way you want them to be going. It doesn’t mean your situation won’t change. The only way it won’t change is if you settle for what you have now.

For Every Minute You Are Angry You Lose Sixty Seconds of Happiness
Living life full of anger doesn't do anything for us but waste our own time and energy that could be much better spent if focused on something else more productive. Sometimes it is very hard to escape the fact that we are angry, and that we want things a certain way, and that we wished we had made better decisions in our pasts.
Don't let your anger rule your life, because if you choose to do so, your life will never truly be enriched, for all of the anger inside of you will only kill any drive that you have that may be directing you towards your calling, and achieving real success in your life.
When you start to feel angry, remember why you are living. Think about your dreams and all of the people that may be blessed by seeing you achieve the things in life that you desire to, and then think of how selfish it is for you not to continue to strive for your dreams because of how angry you are. Stop wasting your time being angry, and live your life!

Depressed And Emotionally Drained
Do you ever notice how when you’re depressed or emotionally drained, that your heartbeat is stronger than normal? At times, it seems as if it’s going to beat right though your chest.

The Present
In each moment we should make an attempt to make the best out of it, whether it be a situation that is already positive, or whether it be a situation that we need to help spin in a positive light. Live every moment, and remember that eventually the future will be the present.

Stop Holding On To What Hurts And Make Room For What Feels Good
In our lives we are faced with many circumstances including instances of heartbreak that we may at one point have had control over, but eventually will not.
When we are done grieving we have to come to terms with what hurt us so much, forgive if it is needed, and be able to let go. Once we are truly able to let go of the things that have caused us so much pain, only then are we truly able to experience life for what it really is and what it really should be. When we release the pain from our lives, we allow room for the things that life can bring in an effort to make us feel good.
So stop holding on to what hurts, let go of the negativity, let go of the disappointment, let go of the regret, and be all that you can be by making room for happiness, success and fulfillment.

Count Your Blessings
As we all advance through this journey that we call life, we must be willing to keep our thoughts on the things that are a blessing to us, instead of wasting time and energy on the things in our lives that do and will cause us nothing but heartaches. Remember that though life is full of its troubles and its setbacks, it is never too late to try and setup your life for the better.
Instead of worrying about all of the things that have gone wrong in your past, that seem to be going wrong in your present, and that can go wrong in your future, remember to instead count your blessings. Learn to appreciate the small things, appreciate the life you have, and the other things you may be blessed with that not everyone else is able to be blessed with.
Take time to thank those who were there for you during your hardships and that will continue to be there when you are gone, thank God for everything else that is in your life that helps to inspire and motivate you to work harder as well.

One of These Days
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways,
but shorter temperments and narrower points of view.
We spend more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
We have more compromises, but less time.
We have more medicines, but less health.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk much, we love only a little.
We reached the moon and came back,
but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors.
We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.
We have higher income, but less morals…
These are times with more liberty, but less joy…
With much more food, but less nutrition…
These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase.
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.
That’s why I propose that as of today -
You do not keep anything for a special occasion,
because every day that you live is a special occasion.
Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it isn’t only survival.
Take out from your vocabulary phrases like “someday” and “if”
Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them.
Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life.
Eat your favorite food, visit the place you love..
Every day, hour, and minute are special…
Because you never know if it will be your last…
but shorter temperments and narrower points of view.
We spend more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
We have more compromises, but less time.
We have more medicines, but less health.
