    "What can I remember, notice now or look forward to that
    makes me happy and fills my heart with joy?"

    Isn't it true that those you would do the most for are those that you love the most?

    We sometimes go to great lengths to continue the work or fulfil the wishes of the people we love even after they pass on, don't we?

    Its love.

    The devotion for something or someone other than us that makes us do this.

    It's love and passion that drive us to do well the things that others struggle with.

    It's often love that keeps us from giving up.

    To live a life without inspiration can be a life without any real joy or passion.

    In moments where you need a little pick me up or a reminder of the many great things you have in your life you can turn to the power of inspirational words and sights.

    Keep a collection of inspirational sayings in your toolkit that resonate with you so you can get more done and still feel great!

    The daily renewing of our minds

    by the Spirit of truth is key to gaining wisdom.

    It's the very thing that lays out our inner road map

    directing the paths by which we should go.

    Sometimes we are bogged down by aches in the body.

    That is the time you are reminded of that part of the body.

    It is only when the head aches that we realize that we have a head.

    Most of the times who even remembers having a head or legs or arms.
    But when the pain takes over there is hardly anything else that one can think of.
    As we are all aware today through recent findings that 90% of our problems are psychosomatic in nature.

    When we are low and depressed we invite illnesses unconsciously.

    It is our Unconscious Mind that is responsible for our state of body most of the times.

    Shine...

    • When the Maker made the stars, he wanted some to be big, some to be bright and some to be smaller stars.
    • They are all important to Him.
    • Go back to the place where the Maker has put you * shine your best and shine your brightest, even if it is in a very dark corner.
    • Show the Maker that you can shine well, even if your light is small.
    • Shine your light just for Him.
    • Never forget the Maker knows all things.
    • He knows that you want to be important, but He needs to know that he can trust you in little things.
    • Do not let Him down.

    Give up harsh words.....use generous ones

    Give up unhappiness....take up gratitude

    Give up anger....take up gentleness and patience

    Give up pessimism....take up hope and optimism

    Don't "muddle" through life... there is help and hope...
    your tomorrows do not have to be like your yesterdays.

    You can make it.

    You can implement changes and carry through with them.

    You don't have to go it alone.
    Seek the LORD and seek wisdom.
    You will find Him and you will find peace and joy.
    Your life will not always be the same as it is today;
    There will be another chapter.

    After A While

    After a while you learn
    the subtle difference between
    holding a hand and chaining a soul
    and you learn
    that love doesn't mean leaning
    and company doesn't always mean security.
    And you begin to learn
    that kisses aren't contracts
    and presents aren't promises
    and you begin to accept your defeats
    with your head up and your eyes ahead
    with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
    and you learn
    to build all your roads on today
    because tomorrow's ground is
    too uncertain for plans
    and futures have a way of falling down
    in mid-flight.
    After a while you learn
    that even sunshine burns
    if you get too much
    so you plant your own garden
    and decorate your own soul
    instead of waiting for someone
    to bring you flowers.
    And you learn that you really can endure
    you really are strong
    you really do have worth
    and you learn
    and you learn with every goodbye, you learn...

    Thank You Spar.

    Planning a wedding is extremely exhilarating and exhaustive all at the same time. 

    But so fun and worth it all while life wanders about.

    Inspiration is a fragile thing

    just a breeze

    touching the green foliage of a city park

    just a whisper from the soul of a friend.

    Just a line of verse clipped from some book.

    Inspiration

    who can say where it is born and why it leaves us?

    Who can tell the reasons for its being or not being?

    Only this * I can think.

    Inspiration comes from the Heart of Heaven to give the lift of wings

    and the breath of divine music to those of us who are earthbound.

    Not always does God give to you

    The things you ask in prayer.

    You'll wonder if He's listening,

    Does He really care?

    But God knows what is best for you

    According to his plan.

    So, meanwhile, don't be anxious,

    Just pray to understand

    This is one of my all time favorite lists of wonderful things to do.  Enjoy.  Do. 

     ~

    20 Little Attitudes of Gratitude


    Mind your manners. Say please, thank you and excuse me.

    * 
    Smile when you see your family. Turn your frown upside down.

    * 
    Pick up after yourself.

    *
    Notice when others do kind things for you, show gratitude by action or words.

    * 
    Say I love you before going to bed.

    * 
    Give hugs daily.

    *
    Don't worry about tomorrow. Focus on what you are happy about today.

    * 
    Create gratitude journals to keep track of daily blessings.

    * 
    Show thankfulness for even the little things others do for you.

    *
    Leave love notes in unexpected places like lunch boxes and under pillows.

    * 
    Encourage someone with a compliment.

    * 
    Verbalize what you are grateful for when you feel like complaining about life.

    * 
    Keep a basket of small slips of paper on the table. Write notes of thankfulness during the week

     and read them to each other during a family meal.

    * 
    Remember to thank God for blessings each day.

    * 
    Surprise your family (or friends) with little gifts or treats to show you thought of them.

    * 
    No grumbling about minor annoyances around the house.

    * 
    Do special things to cherish time with your family. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

    * 
    Reflect on happy memories regularly. Make inspiration boards of special times.

    *
    Help someone out without them having to ask you. Watch for someone in need.

    * 
    When you are doing household chores, be grateful you have a home to clean.

    Living "fresh" is something we should strive for each day. 

    Awakening with a new fresh attitude gives you leverage in life. 

    Thinking fresh, living a wholesome life, eating fresh healthy foods; taking a more active interest in your own health and well-being. 

    Remove toxic foods and people from your life, release all non-essentials and lighten your work load; laugh more.

    All of these components will assist your body in performing at its optimum.  By incorporating these ideals in your lifestyle you will begin to eliminate stress, think clearer, and enjoy life to the fullest.

    So....Start  - Now!

    "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,

    a smile,

    a kind word,

    a listening ear,

    an honest compliment,

    or the smallest act of caring,

    all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

    "If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,

    if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,

    if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand,

    rejoice, for your soul is alive..."
