Randy Pausch Quote

There are so many things in life we cannot control. It starts at birth. We cannot control where we are born, who our parents are, if we’re the first-born, male or female, or the genes we inherit. We are all dealt a different hand in life and as life continues there are further variables we cannot control. Accidents, illness, turbulent weather, and other factors enter the realm to create challenges we must face. It is how we choose to play the hand we are dealt that determines the quality of our lives. It is the choices we make and the attitude we maintain that matters most of all. If we choose poorly, such as not exercising or eating right, then we face the consequences of those choices. If we choose wisely, such as studying hard in school, our lives lead to more favorable circumstances. Fortunately, we get to make choices everyday that impact our quality of life. The biggest choice we can make is to choose to be happy, everyday.

The Magic of Love

As much as we try sometimes, love can not be controlled by our minds. It is instead what we feel in our hearts.

The Magic Of Love

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life’s sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there’s nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks…
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can’t be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life’s sweet mystery!!

Imagine That

We all know the classic song Imagine by John Lennon, a song that will be forever remembered by old as well as new generations. And John Lennon will be forever remembered for his passion to bring peace and love to the world. Imagine, if he had lived longer, what he would still be doing to create awareness and compassion for the injustices on this earth. John Lennon claimed he was a dreamer but we all know he was much more than that. We should all be dreamers in our own way. Dream about the life you would like to lead and dream about the positive changes you can bring about in the world. Then, bravely act on your dreams.

IMAGINE THAT

Imagine a world with no judgement,

A world with more acceptance.

Imagine a world with less hostility,

A world with more kindness,

Imagine a world with less hate,

A world with more LOVE.

Imagine that.

Choose Happy over Being Right

So many times we get into arguments and it turns into a power struggle over who is right. We all have egos, some bigger than others. It is hard to let go of your position when you feel in your heart you are right. It may very well be the case that you are right but there is no convincing the other person of that. If it is possible to “agree to disagree”, then you can move on. But sometimes the other person is so adamant about their position that they even refuse to “agree to disagree”. What they want is for you to admit you were wrong. What do you do when you feel you’re still right? Tell the person you understand their position, you love them, and leave it at that. If you tell them they’re right when you believe otherwise, they’ll bulldoze you every time there’s a disagreement. The person who is secure with themselves can “agree to disagree”, move on, and be happy knowing they’ve handled the situation maturely.

Happily Content

Happy are those who only want what they already have. For many, we already have what we need. It’s more a matter of realizing this and cultivating the appreciation for it. There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve a situation but getting caught up in a cycle where nothing is ever good enough will lead to unhappiness. This is especially true with material goods. Always looking to obtain the next best thing – a bigger house, a fancy car, the newest IPad – and comparing yourself to what others have, will always lead to a feeling that something is missing. Instead, look to what you do have, and be honest with yourself – is it enough?

With a Little Help from Our Friends

Some people seem to have so many friends and other people only have a few friends. What matters most is the quality of those friendships. The amount of friends we have should not be a competition. Some people try to rack up the amount of friends they have on Facebook to somehow prove they are popular (and loved). How wide your circle of friends is is more a reflection of what type of person you are and the lifestyle you choose to lead. More introverted people generally have a small circle of friends but that circle can be very intimate and intense. Those who are very social might have a large circle of friends but it’s likely most of those friendships are not deep loyal friendships, although some will be. What matters is that we have at least one or two close friends we can confide in and who will not judge us. We all need that acknowledgement and acceptance.

Make Yourself Happy

Do not depend on others to make you happy. It is up to you to make yourself happy. Looking for others to bring you happiness is likely to result in disappointment and resentment. Instead, cultivate a way of life that makes you happy. Like the photo above states, you need to plant your own garden. Not only do you need to plant it, you need to nourish it consistently to make it grow. Do the things that make you happy, surround yourself with the little things that give you pleasure, and maintain a grateful spirit for all the blessings in life.

Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

Sometimes we get so comfortable in our daily existence. But stepping outside this comfort zone can breathe new life into you. Take risks, do things you never would have considered doing before. Get out of your rut and mix it up. We love the following poem about reaching outside your comfort zone.

My Comfort Zone – A PoemAuthor Unknown

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn’t fail.
The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn’t matter that I wasn’t doing much.
I said I didn’t care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you’re in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!

Love Yourself First

You must feel worthy of love yourself before you can fully love others. To feel worthy of love you must like who you are. Your self-esteem is a crucial element in any relationship. It is very difficult to feel love towards others when you are not feeling love towards yourself. Greater self-esteem is developed through accomplishment, having a sense of purpose, supportive friends and family, confidence, gratitude, and a positive outlook. Believing in yourself and living your own life to the fullest opens up your heart to the possibilities of others. Dream it, live it, and love will flow throughout it.

Life Quote

“Life is what you make it. Always has been, Always will be.” There is so much truth and honesty in this statement. We are all dealt a different hand in life but it’s what you do with it that matters. Some people are determined to overcome their challenges and make the best life possible for themselves while others choose to play the victim and place blame on anything but themselves. Character is built on experience and what we learn from our past. Maintain a positive perspective and actively pursue what it is you want in life. Life is more rewarding for those who choose to create their life instead of waiting for something to happen in their life.
