Here’s a saying to make you think and re-evaluate how you are doing!

Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry.

Live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, fill your life with love, scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others.

Do as you would like to be done by.

These are the tried links in contentments golden chain.

Today’s thought:

Happiness is the feeling you get when you are too busy to be miserable!

Enjoy your day . . .

In the light of the ongoing amazing Olympic Games in Rio, the following words my Dad used to say to us, keeps floating through my mind.

The Door of Success is Always labelled PUSH!

So many inspirational athletes that we can all learn lessons from. Very well done to them all; the drive, focus, determination, discipline and strength shown by many of them is truly inspirational. To have such passion and self discipline in something you believe in so strongly is a wonderful, if not at times, painful, attribute to have. Needless to say, if you have a passion and a drive within you to follow or achieve a goal, find the strength and courage to do it. It’s your life, your inner passion, your journey; live it and enjoy it before the opportunity or ability has gone!

15th August is International Relaxation Day – if you have the chance, enjoy your day, taking things easy, keeping calm of mind, and basically taking life at a more relaxed pace than you normally would.

The key to good relaxation is your breath. So keep it simple and think, when you take a breath in, you are making yourself bigger, so expand your abdomen; when you breathe out, you are making yourself smaller, hence pull your tummy in.

Keep the breath long and soft, allowing the lungs to drop down as opposed to being pushed out against the ribs. The diaphragm at the base of the ribcage should flex up and down with that long gentle abdominal breath. It massages the internal organs, creating a deeper level of relaxation and increased inner health. Breathing from the abdomen slows the brain and mind down, it helps them drops down through the gears, so allowing you to clear the mind, putting the brakes on your usually busy mind, so you can experience stillness, calmness, relaxation.

So breathe, enjoy your breath and relax!

Don’t Quit . . .

This positive affirmation was given to me, many years ago, by a lovely friend at a time when I was struggling with several very challenging things at once. It made me think for a moment and refocus, and happier to take one step at a time; see what you think . . .

Dont Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trotting seems all up hill,

When the funds are low, and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver lining on the clouds of doubt,

But you can tell how close you are,

You maybe near when it seems so far.

Got to stick to the vigil,

When you’re hardest hit,

When things go wrong, you must not quit!

Whoever is happy, will make others happy too!     Anne Frank (1929-1945)

When you are happy, or you’re in the company of someone who is, it does radiate out from you and it can be infectious; or you feel you want others to share in your happiness so you extend yourself to lift the spirits of those around you. Sharing happiness is a wonder gift.

Meg

“To Them All”

O God, my Master, should I gain the grace;

To see Thee face to face when life is ended;

Grant that the dogs who once pretended

That I was God; may see me face to face.

I saw this sign on a dog kennel whilst in South Africa many years ago, and it stayed with me. I think it is humbling to lessen our superiority over others and especially over other species of animals.

Time is the coin of your life,

it is the only coin you have;

And only you can determine

how it be spent.

Be careful lest you let others

spend it for you.

Carl Sandburg

It takes courage to live your life by your own desire, and strength when that desire goes against the grain. Be mindful of your own desires and those imposed on you. Be wise in following your truth whenever you can, and be brave, it’s your life after all.

What We Say . . .

It’s not so much the things we say, 

But more the way we say it

A little thought before we speak can make such a difference, because once the words are out, they cannot be taken back. A kind edge to how we speak will add a warmth to your soul and brighten someone’s day.

The flowers of all your tomorrows lie

in the seeds you sow today

For every action there is a reaction and a consequence; think with care of what you do, for tomorrows daylight may shine on the deeds you set today
