DO IT ANYWAY

By Mother Teresa

 

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (26.8.1919-5.9.1997)...

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (26.8.1919-5.9.1997); at a pro-life meeting in 1986 in Bonn, Germany (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

~~Reportedly written on a wall in her home for children in Calcutta, India.~~

 

 

 

 




People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.

FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.

BE KIND ANYWAY


If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.

SUCCEED ANYWAY


If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.

BE HONEST AND SINCERE ANYWAY


What you spent years creating, others could destroy overnight.

CREATE ANYWAY


If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.

BE HAPPY ANYWAY


The good you do today, will often be forgotten.

DO GOOD ANYWAY


Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.

GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY


In the final analysis, it is between you and God.

IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY

Hey Guys –

Check out Chery Lundenberg’s “5 Ways to Increase Happiness” Post

5 ways to increase happiness

Posted on October 14, 2012by cherylundenberg

1.  The Big “O” – Oxytocin: This is the hormone of trust and “love.” It is a natural calming and feel good chemical. It connects and bonds people together and when released will evoke feelings of contentment, reductions in anxiety, and feelings of calmness and security. Simply touching, hugging, and interacting with loved ones can release Oxytocin and enhance intimacy.

2.  Get Moving and Exercise: A proven way to enhance mood is to stay active and exercise. We have to move to be happy. Even a brisk walk can do wonders for our outlook and daily mood. When adults have around 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity per day it has been shown to be an important factor in not only physical health, but psychological well-being as well.

3.  Breathe Well: An often overlooked source of calm and health is deep breathing. Our breath is always with us and can be used as an anchor to relax our mind and body. Becoming mindful of our breath can be a tool to manage stress and anxiety in any context. Start taking deeper, longer breaths to get more oxygen flowing through your brain.

4.  Gratitude: We all have ups and downs each day, though when we focus on and what we still have and what is going well our mood will be enhanced. Start appreciating what you have and be thankful for the relationships, skills, and opportunities that you have been blessed with. To help you do so, keep a gratitude journal or write a letter of gratitude to someone who has helped you but hasn’t been thanked yet.

5.  Meditation: Many many late researches in brain science shows that a daily practice of meditation increases creativity, intuition, health (by lowering blood pressure and slow breathing) and happiness. It also makes one become calm, laugh a lot, Love and naturally look at the positive side of everything. All those things are seen as major brain changes that are taking place in the time of practicing.

LOVE All.

A Reason~ A Season~ A Lifetime

From the book “Acts of Faith” by Iyanla Vanzant.

While the entire book is really great, (I’ve read it many times now as well as gifted it to friends).

I’d like to share with you my three favorite passages (there is one for every day of the year).

Hope you enjoy them too:

July 16th

A reason. . . .

When someone is in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on. Next!

When a prayer is answered, there is no need to cry.

July 17th

A Season . . .
