Find Happiness

Spending time with someone who consistently has a bad attitude or is negative about everything around them all of the time is EXHAUSTING to be around. Can you imagine how exhausting it must be for that individual who is so down all of the time? It's depressing to think about. 



For those of us who must endure a friend or family member who is constantly negative, remember to stay positive, stay focused on the things you value and believe in, and most important, do not let another's negative influence bring you down. Recognize they have a problem, not you. Limiting time around a negative person is also a good idea. You will continue to stay  happy, positive, and successful in your life if you surround yourself with others like you. 


For that person who just cannot find happiness, I challenge you to start a gratitude journal. Yep! A journal! And before you have the chance to grumble and say how stupid it is or that it is a complete waste of time, I will guarantee you, that it if you will take on the challenge with an open mind and heart, give it a sincere chance, it will improve your life. 


Gratitude Journal Challenge: Find something you can begin to make your list on. A diary, journal, notepad, or even an iPad will work. Begin the first day with making a list of 10 things you are grateful for that day. Usually the first day is the easiest because you list the obvious things. After several days of listing 10 daily things you are grateful for, the list might seem harder, but once you get into the groove you might even find that a few weeks into the process, it becomes hard to list only 10 items. You might even start walking through your day being grateful for the color green on the grass, the smell of a flower, or the color of someone's eyes. Once that happens, you should be finding that your problems are not so big, your heart is full of love and gratitude, and that your relationships are improving. You will begin to fill a more fulfilled and energetic life.

Rid Yourself of Daily Fears

"Don't move the way FEAR makes you move."

Move the way LOVE makes you move."

---Osho

Remember, love and fear are opposites. You cannot feel them both at the same time or in the same space. To rid yourself of those daily fears, submerse yourself in love.  

How do you do it? First love others by serving them. Second, find something you love about yourself. Third, surround yourself by positive people who enjoy experiencing true love in their life. 

As your heart expands in love, it pushes out the fear. Feel love, trust love. 

Define Yourself!

Never be bullied into silence.
Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.


~Harvey Fierstein

Have you ever been bullied into silence? Are you over coming being a victim?
We would love to hear your survival story.

Circumstances

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up
and look for the circumstances they want,
and, if they can't find them,
make them.

~G.B. Shaw, Mrs. Warren's Profession, 1893


What's holding you back from living your dream?

Quote

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
