“We don’t have to be defined by one thing; the only thing stopping you is you.” ~ Jennifer Lopez

Reinventing ourselves, beginning anew, choosing new thoughts; wanting to be better with each new day.

“Did I offer peace today?
Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?
Did I say words of healing?
Did I let go of my anger and resentment?
Did I forgive?
These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.” ~ Henri Nouwe

What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love…love is all you need. it really does all begin with Love. Love of Self allows us to see the world from the perspective of its absolute beauty. Love of others strengthens our unconditional acceptance.

“It’s not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motives, even – or rather, especially – when we’d prefer not to be.” ~ Josh Radnor

There is a climate of extraordinary criticism and judgement in the world today. There’s a pile of hate thrown upon those who are different, have a different opinion or mis-step. What happened to seeing the best in others? We need to support, encourage and most of all accept one another. We are all connected and looking for the same things in life, TO BE HAPPY, TO BE SEEN, TO BE LOVED.

“When you develop your ability to balance your emotions, unexpected problems won’t throw you off balance as easily and you’ll return more quickly to a positive outlook.” ~ Peggy McCol

It is necessary that we have a daily practice for balance and feeling peaceful inside. When our emotions are flying around trying to create chaos, it’s important we have clarity to receive our next steps. When we are stressed, we must remind ourselves to mentally challenge it ‘without emotions’, keeping core thoughts strong and knowing the Universe is always working in our favor, always for good.

“Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars. In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.” ~ Max Ehrmann

We can create a storm within, being self-critical and judgmental. The key to peace is acceptance of self as we experience our seasons. I came across a blog from Lori Deschene and pulled a sentence that summed it all up: “Maybe the goal shouldn’t always be to be positive, but to recognize when we start being self critical so that we can shift our thoughts more quickly and effectively with each internal struggle.”

“Happiness comes from within. It is not dependent on external things or on other people. You become vulnerable and can be easily hurt when your feelings of security and happiness depend on the behavior and actions of other people. Never give your power to anyone else.” ~ Brian L. Weiss

What happens when we believe that happiness is this coveted emotion that can be stimulated or controlled by outside sources? Or falling into the belief that this job, title, house or person will make us happy. Depending upon something outside of us to bring us happiness will always be a roller coaster. Are we really going to let our definition of something or someone control how we feel?

“Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart, one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.” ~ Marvin J. Ashton

I love the concept of leaving a little sparkle wherever we go and leaving people better than we found them. Our happiness, light and recognition of another creates a ripple effect and is the gift we can give all day.

“Money, like health, love, happiness and all forms of success that you want to create for yourself is the result of living purposefully. It is not a goal unto itself.” ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

Are we living our life on purpose? If we don’t live on purpose – we are living by accident. We have the ability to ‘create’ every day, so let’s make sure we’re not accepting life by default. We can begin with intention and desire; asking ourselves what we are craving in our life, and with those mindful visions we start the process of living on purpose.

“There hasn’t been one single day of your life, when the world hasn’t been a better place by your presence in it.” ~ Mike Dooley
