Quote for today--In order to accomplish anything, you have to accept the fact that you're going to make some mistakes. Of course you would never set out to intentionally make a mistake, and it's wise to take reasonable precautions against them.

When the mistakes do come, that very same decisiveness will get you quickly past them. Love and Light

Quote for today--The valuable things in your life are valuable to you not because of how much money has been spent on them. They have value because of how much of yourself has been put into them.

It's the way to make a difference, the way that problems are transcended, the way that wealth is created, the way that lives are improved. Make the effort, create the value, and the rewards will be great indeed. Love and Light

Quote for todat--Taking the time every day to recognize what you're grateful for helps keep things in perspective. Gratitude carries you through the tough times, and gives you the strength to surpass the stress of challenges. Reflect on your family, your friends, or the place where you live, and the satisfaction they bring you. Think about your good health and your talents. Consider the pleasure you received from a phone call when a friend or a laugh you shared with your children. Look back on small and large moments, the affection of a pet, your success in the garden or a deep and fulfilling relationship. These are all the tings that nourish gratitude. And, gratitude makes life worth living. Love and Light

Even now. Love and Light

Quote for today--What if? So many negative thoughts start with these two words; What if I'm late for work? What if I don't lose weight? What if I don't go to my friends for dinner because I'm too tired? What if...What if.. what...if.... These anxious thoughts lead to another and another- only to become a negative spiral of worry? Before you know it- your heart races, it's tough to breathe, and there's a knot in your stomach the size of a pot roast. Catch yourself next time you fall in to the "what-if: trap, stop it in its tracks. Turn your thinking in to new beliefs. It takes time and consistent practice, but the freedom you feel is worth the effort. Love and Light

Quote for today--It's unrealistic to expect to have success in meaningful things you do and not have failure along the way. It's the way of life. Instead of fighting it or feeling ashamed or guilty, accept this with grace. Look for the lessons to be learned-lessons showing you how to do it right the next time. Any failures that you experience can be transformed into something of worth. It all depends on how you look at it. If you remain focused and determined, these lessons become stepping-stones to the success that you seek. Love and Light

Quote for today--Be Thankful to bring a reminder to us all that every day ought to be Thanksgiving. Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.

During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character. LOve and Light
