Value Life

Accept Changes Gracefully

Change in the only constant thing in our universe. To live perfect days, get rid of your attachment with things (my home, my car, my laptop, my idea etc.), situations (at home, work, financial, emotional) and people (parents, children, friends, spouses) –– love them just like you love everyone else. Attachment doesn’t let you move out of your comfort zone and your growth becomes ZERO. It costs you your happiness.

To Criticize Others

Self-respect means that you consider it inappropriate to criticize others. You consider it cowardly to feel threatened by someone else. You view everyone as responsible for their own behavior.

You Will You Be In 2011

I Lift Myself Up

Everyday I lift myself up and go! Consciously I drum up all my Positive energy and thoughts and carry on. I move forward gracefully, freely and lightly with my life, work, visions, creations, goals and dreams. I depend on Me, my own determination, self-motivation and self-love. I am my own Rock. I am my own Power. I am IT. Obstacles are the challenges that make me stronger and wiser.

Be A Winner

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride –– and never quit, you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.

Carve My Name

I carve my name in people’s hearts by trying my best to make this earth a better place by being unforgettable
before I leave to the womb of the earth.

Never to Look Back

Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only for wallowing in.

Katherine Mansfield

The Heart

Remember eyes may provide sight. But it’s the heart which gives insight to enjoy.

Indentify Fear

The moment you identify fear creeping into your mind, change your internal dialogue to reverse the thought and put a positive spin to it.

These phrases could form your simple tag line when a "what if" creeps into your mind: "I'll handle it" or "I'll figure it out".

Once you resolve to "handle it" or "figure it out", more often than not, you will find ways to deal with the situation, and your fear of the situation.

Reclaiming Your True Identity Self Help Film

Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.

You Are Valuable

Your soul is an eternal source of life-giving light. It shines with a meaning and purpose that you may not be aware of. In fact, your value is so profound, it’s impossible in this earthly mind to really understand the extent of your amazing worth. Open to this truth, and affirm the following: I am valuable; I am eternally valuable. In every experience, I choose to see, know, and honor how truly valuable I am.

Feel Sorry for Yourself

Look around you before you start to feel sorry for yourself –– there are people in situations that are a hundred times worse than yours, yet they manage to get through each day.

The good you find in others, is in you too.

December

One of the special joys of December is telling others we care and remember Love.

Mistakes of Others

Learn from the mistakes of others. There's an old Zen proverb that states: "It takes a wise man to learn from his mistakes, but an even wiser man to learn from others."

Lessons

Life is about developing and changing to meet the different circumstances that are presented on a daily basis. Learning from the lessons that have created pain and then being able to recognize when the same situation or circumstance arises again is valuable to our own development of becoming and a better person.

Suffering and Effort

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

Norman Vincent Peale

Create Something

The majority manage to do nothing when they have something. Yet very few create something, when they have nothing.

Work Toward Loving Yourself

Recognize what you can change and what you can't. If you realize that you're unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, then start today. If it's something you can't change, then start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.

Self Confidence

Knowing which way to turn gives you self confidence. Taking a chance and going the opposite way gives you a chance to see what you are made of.

Who You Become

The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become.

Heraclitus

Don't Expect Change to Be Easy

No one ever promised that making a big change in your life would be easy or that overcoming obstacles would be a walk in the park. It's not supposed to be. Don't let opposition let you lose your confidence and adapt a negative attitude.

Only Use Positive Words When Talking

If you're constantly telling yourself "I can't" you may convince yourself that's the truth. Replace these negative words with positive ones instead. Tell yourself you will do your best or that you will try your hardest instead.

Lifestyle

Managing depression means total self-care. If you neglect to take care of yourself once you begin to feel better, you will likely begin to re-experience some symptoms of depression. Emotional health, as well as physical health, is about lifestyle.

Be Strong

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be Optomistic

Be courageous. Change and improve each day. Do your best and don't look back. See learning and change as opportunities. Try new things. Consider several options. Meet new people. Ask lots of questions. Keep track of your mental and physical health. Be optimistic.

In Your Heart

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and sings it back to you when you have forgotten how it goes.

Your Life

Never blame any day in your life. Good days give you happiness, Bad days give you experience. Worst days give you a lesson. Have a good morning and great day ahead.

Love Your Life

Love your life. Believe in your own power, your own potential, and your own innate goodness. Every morning, wake with the awe of just being alive. Each day, discover the magnificent awesome beauty in the world. Explore and embrace life in yourself and in everyone you see each day.

Power to Take Control

Each person has the power to take control of every circumstance in life to change, improve, and make it better day by day. Not one of us can say: “I must accept whatever comes my way,” because the way we choose to go through life is our decision. The power of change is always in your hands.

Barbara J. Hall

Energy Flows

Energy Flows Where Energy Goes!

Hope

The inability to open up to hope is what blocks trust, and blocked trust is the reason for blighted dreams.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Energy Comes Naturally

Energy is the one thing that at times we all feel we need more of. What most people find is that when they are doing what they love that the energy comes naturally. When you have a passion for what you are doing you will find energy is something that you have lots of.

Tragedy of Life

The tragedy of life is not in the fact of death, but in what dies inside of us while we live.

Norman Cousins

Make Your Life Better

Determine how your life could be better. What can you do to make your life better? What do you desire to do? How do you want to feel? Make a few reachable goals and your own strategies. The first step is usually the hardest - getting help or admitting you need it.

Importance

Money, position, pride and power seem so important——until they’re not. At the end of their lives no one says, I wish I spent more time at the office.

Courtesy

Never underestimate the power of simple courtesy. Your courtesy may not be returned or remembered, but discourtesy will.

You Are Unique and Special

Realize that you are unique and special and that you have a higher purpose in life. You are not an accident. You are here for a reason and part of your mission is to find out why you are here.

A Circle on a Piece of Paper

Robert Schuller (best known for Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do!) tells the story of a professor who made a circle on a piece of paper, colored it black, and then asked his psychology students what they saw. The answers were many: A black dot; A round circle and it's dark; A round circle colored solid black. Finally the professor asked: "Doesn't anybody see a piece of white paper?" Most of the people you work with and live with are negative people, looking at the faults, points out Schuller. In this search for negatives, "they miss everything that's positive and great".

Love What You Do

Love what you do - doing what you love is only one half of the story. You still have to love what you do and this is an attitude. Even if you are doing something you hate, you can still love doing it and once you do this you start to shift the focus of your life and more of what you do love will start showing up.

Keep Growing

Keep growing and expanding - without continual growth and the expansion of yourself you will soon get bored and start 'hating what you do'. Personal growth is an essential ingredient in being fulfilled.

Obstacles Tests

Fighting your way through obstacles tests your resolve and prepares you for the new reality you want to create in your life. The old saying is "be careful what you wish for". Obstacles can be a blessing in disguise by acting as a natural form of resistance to keep your life in balance. Without it, you might hurtle at light speed into the things you want.

Challenges help you grow your knowledge, skills, experience and resources.

Blocks make it necessary to reposition yourself for a new start, in the same way that runners use blocks before they start a race.

Bars help you stretch and become more flexible, just like the way a dancer uses a barre.

Hurdles require you to gain momentum so you can leap over them.

Impediments help you slow down and exercise caution in choosing your next steps.

Walls make you look around for a ladder or an overhanging tree you can climb. Or they can inspire you to build an earthen ramp so everyone can climb over them.

Vices put the pressure on and test whether we are strong enough to handle the consequences.

Ability to Love

Allow yourself to be loved. The ability to love and be loved is the most basic human trait. We, as a society, have become disconnected from this most basic need - fear-based emotions (depression, loneliness, guilt, attachment and anger are the symptoms). Finding ways to reconnect with others is extremely helpful in developing a positive attitude.

Acknowledge Every Strength

Challenging yourself means you dare to acknowledge every strength and weakness. You have to be ready to change them into power and strength. Dare to challenge yourself means you have entered the world of the highest commitment in the process to achieve your own victory.

A Blessing in Disguise

Every misfortune is a blessing in disguise, so it is wise to turn any misfortune into something good and useful.

A Child

You should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.

Positive Relationships

Evaluating Relationships: Given the tremendous importance of relationships, it’s surprising we receive so little instruction on how to evaluate, prune, and nurture them. Start by asking yourself whether each of your relationships drags you down or lifts you up. Surrounding yourself with positive relationships is half the battle.

Understand People

Instead of condemning people, try to understand them. Try to figure out why they do what they do. That's a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness.

Energy Flows

Where attention goes, energy flows. What we focus on tends to expand itself. Since we can only focus on one thing at a time, energy spent on negativity is energy that could have been spent on our personal well being.

Shift Your Perspective

Instead of continually apologizing for whatever it is that you do or however it is that you are that you believe is "off" or lacking, stop. Shift your perspective of your own self and your abilities. Figure out what you like to do and the way that you can best do it. Then, deliberately place yourself in situations that are a good match for who you are.

Self Trash Talk

Negative inner talk - self trash talk - is mostly a habit. Unfortunately, we're accustomed to trashing ourselves. Once you realize that negative inner talk is habit talk, you become self-aware of your thinking and you can make a new choice. Every time you make the choice to replace negative with inner Love talk, you are establishing a new habit of loving yourself.

Opening Your Eyes

If you walked through your day with eyes wide open looking for the beauty in the day, what do you think you would see? Perhaps you’d see more smiles than frowns, more happiness, than sadness, and you might even see the potential in others rather than limits. By opening your eyes to goodness in the day.

Take Charge

By releasing the need to blame family, friends, bosses, coworkers, x’s, the weather, or the economy for your mood, you are empowered to create the day of your dreams. When you take charge of your mood, it doesn’t matter what company you keep as your company is the key to setting your mood.

Inspiring Ballet - Hand in Hand

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Buddha

Change Your Energy and Change Your Life

The Long View

Take the long view about incidents that you're finding stressful. Just because you're finding these new responsibilities stressful now, doesn't mean that they will ALWAYS be so for you in the future.

Learn Valuable Information

Use reframing to stop thinking of your mistakes as failures. They can be more accurately described as opportunities for learning—people generally learn more from mistakes than they learn from successes. With each mistake, you can learn valuable information that can be used for future success.

Give Children

Sometimes in our attempt to give children what we did not have, we forget to give our children what we did have.

Your Desires

Focus more on your desire than on your doubt, and the dream will take care of itself. You may be surprised at how easily this happens. Your doubts are not as powerful as your desires, unless you make them so.

Your Judging Mind

Take a moment to become aware of your judging mind. Already you will have formed an opinion of many things, like this posting for instance. But more important are your judgments on people.

Knowing Yourself

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.

Lao Tzu (c.604 - 531 B.C.)
