MAKE THE PRESENT MOMENT YOUR FRIEND.

Practice being in silence and meditation. Nothing relieves stress, depression, anxiety, and all forms of low energy more.

Miracles come in moment. Be ready and willing.

The moment you extend kindness to yourself, the more it will become your automatic response to others

Intuitive feelings always quide you in a direction of growth and purposefulness.

Your thoughts are all seeds that you plant.

Treat yourself as if you already are what you'd like to become.

Believe that you can attain anything you wish and that you will receive all the help you need, as long as you stay focused on your goal.

When you start seeing your worth, you will find it harder to stay around people who can't.

 

FIND HAPPINESS

Once a group of 50 people were attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each attendee one balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

Now these delegates were let into that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.

At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.

The speaker then began, “This is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.

Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life…the pursuit of happiness.”

5. Mix in the whole egg, the milk, the lemon zest and one tablespoon of corn starch.
6. Add the Porto wine (optional).
7. Pour the mixture in the flan mold and cover with the locking top.
8. Put the flan mold inside a big pan with water until halfway up side of the flan mold.
9. Cover the pan, bring the water to a boil in the stove over high-heat.
10. Reduce to low-heat and let it cook for 45 minutes.
11. Remove flan mold from the pan and let it cool completely (best if chilled until cold) before turning over carefully onto plate. Allow the caramel to run over flan and serve.                Recipe & Photo Credit: Teresa R H                                                                                      https://portugueserecipes.ca

THERE IS A REASON FOR EVEYTHING

Living a positive life means waking up every day and deciding that today will be good and that anything bad will be dealt with as it comes.

Reminder: Don’t let people bring you down.

 Never pay for anything with your self-respect. – Jeff Hood

Don’t fight, resist, or avoid the changes that are happening in your life. Learn to allow and let go, so blessings can start flowing to you

“Finding yourself” consists of peeling off years of social conditioning to find a self as it existed during childhood, un-masked.

Life is too short; enjoy your days, laugh at every chance, cry only if you must, and never let others bring you down.

Overthinking is just a painful reminder that you care way too much, even when you shouldn’t. 

Surround yourself with people who see your value and remind you of it.

 

“Lower your expectations, but raise your standards.”

“Big life changes don’t happen overnight: Give yourself time. Put in the effort. You’ll be surprised with what can happen in a year.”

“There’s nothing wrong with hard work, as long as it doesn’t get in the way of life’s more important areas: health, relationships, passion.”

“You’re in the wrong job if it doesn’t align with the person you want to become.”

“Don’t let the past get in the way of a meaningful future.”

“You can’t change the people around you, but you can change the people around you.”

“Minimalism, as a lifestyle, is the art of letting go.”

Some talk to you in their free time and some free their time to talk to you. Know the difference.

Surround yourself with people who are good for your mental health.

A year from now, what you’re stressing about what even matter. Let it go.

If it made you smile… it was worth it.

 

GET CRAFTY FOR CHRISTMAS

 

“Christmas-present idea: Be present. Be attentive. Just be.” – Joshua Fields Millburn

“The next time someone asks what you do, try this: Don’t give them your job title. Instead, tell them what you’re passionate about.”

“The truth is, you can skip the pursuit of happiness altogether and just be happy.”

“You save 100% on every “sale” item you don’t purchase.” – Joshua Fields Millburn

“One’s freedom increases in direct proportion to their willingness to let go.” – Joshua Fields Millburn

“The good life is birthed from great habits.”

“Temporary constraints help us understand what we need, instead of what we think we need.”

Note to self: do what you can’t until you can.

“Yesterday’s solutions may not work tomorrow.”
