You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.

Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them

Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature

Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know

Don't be afraid to show your emotions laughing and crying make you feel better

Love your friends and family with your entire being they are the most important part of your life

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by what you bring to life.:-6:-6

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness,

ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them

"Every thought you think changes your

biochemistry. Your hormones are affected by

your thoughts. Pay attention to stuff that bring you joy.

Look for things that bring you a smile! "

Live today like it's your last!

Love like you've never been hurt!

Sing like no one is listening!

Dance like no one is watching!

A State of Mind

Author Unknown

If you think you are beaten, your are

If you think you dare not, you won't,

If you like to win, but don't think you can

It's almost a cinch you won't

If you think you'll lose, you're lost

For out in the world you find,

Success begins with a fellow's will

It's all in a state of mind

For many a game is lost

Ere even a play is run,

And many a coward fails

Ere even his work is begun

Think big and your deeds will grow

Think small and you'll fall behind

Think that you can and you will

It's all a state of mind

If you think you are out-classed, your are

You've got to think high to rise

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize

Life battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man

But sooner or later, the man who wins

Is the fellow who thinks he can
