It is up to you to have more highs than lows
Sometimes we are down surrounded by negative thoughts and feelings that we get depressed, no matter the reason every person has his highs and lows each day.
I have learned life is not tied with a bow, but it's still a gift to enjoy. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up for the challenges that the day brings.
One of the things we so often neglect is to get rid of anything that isn't useful to us, cluttering our homes and our lives. Beautiful or joyful - Burn the candles placed only for display, use the nice sheets in the back of the cupboard kept for some important guest that never shows, and wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special!!!
It comes down to - no one is in charge of your happiness but you. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer and live each day like its your last.
It’s through conversations that change happens, and we are transformed. Here’s why according to an article on the website of collaborative journeys:
- Conversations bring us together. And when we are together, we are much more comfortable with change – personal change, organization change, community change… We can handle anything, as long as we are together
- Conversations help us get from here to there. Conversations help us see what was, help us reflect on where we are now and what might be, and help us embody the new. As a mediator, conversation is the road to (dispute) resolution.
- Conversations help us build trust. And, when we trust the group we’re in, something special happens. We are freed to be ourselves, to act, knowing that if we falter, the group will pull us through. Count on it! We can even bridge communities and cultures, even those with generations of distrust.
- Through conversation we discover shared meaning, and when that meaning changes, we are changed.
- Conversations connect the family, organization, community… to more of itself, a sign of a healthy living system.
There are so many ways to have a conversation; face-to-face or online, small group or large group, over food, while watching a movie at someone’s home… The possibilities are endless.
Envy is a waste of time
How often do we talk of others as if they have the dream life? Whether it’s the celebrities or that friend with the biggest house and most expensive or fastest car? Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. If we were all to throw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, I’m sure we would all grab our own back.
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

Always ask yourself in the case of a disaster- will this matter in five years?
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Hate to me is such a strong word, I have grown to the age of 17 when I for the first time experienced the feeling and could for the first time use this word as an explanation to how I felt inside. I hated and I hated the feeling. It was a mixture of jealousy and disappointment and tears of sadness with just an extra hint of something that made it an unbearable feeling to hold onto. This was a situation where a best friend portrayed me and never having an opportunity to deal with portrayal; my body suddenly reacted in this state. I was shocked at this person I have become but soon realised this is all because I allow it to change me. I quickly learned the power of forgiveness and have never allowed myself to let the power of hatered take control of me. Everything did happen for the best in both our lives that was affected and we have a friendship bond that I believe will last forever.
Forgive everyone everything. However good or bad a situation is, it will change and it’s most likely to change for the best.
