Thought Of The Day - Choice and Acceptance

Thought Of The Day - Choice and Acceptance

Time is rather like the ocean. We are rather like little boats, cast adrift on those great waves. We have no option other than to go with the flow. No matter how many sails we put up or engines we fire up, we cannot go in another direction. Nor can we speed up our progress. What choice do we have? One. One very big important choice. We can choose whether to feel okay about a situation we can't change or whether to resent it. Acceptance is the key to greater buoyancy and smoother sailing in our lives.

Thought Of The Day - Moments

Thought Of The Day - Moments

When we stop to think about how lucky we are to be alive, and how short our time tends to be, it becomes clear that every moment is too precious to waste. Yet some moments just don't feel so special. All we can think about are our troubles, our obligations or our reasons to feel resentful. Even worse are the moments when we feel full neither of something good nor something bad. We just feel somehow flat or empty. When such times come, we must let them go. And remind ourselves of what life can feel like at its best.

Thought of the Day - Do's and Don'ts

Thought of the Day - Do's and Don'ts

Don't scratch the itch. Don't intensify the argument. Don't put fuel on the fire of conflict. Don't nurse the grudge. Don't indulge the emotion. Don't dwell on the resentment. I know that's an awful lot of "don'ts". 

Here now, are some "do's" to balance them out. Do look on the bright side. Do be willing to forgive (but not to forget). Do seek a constructive way forward. Do let go and move on. Do expect heavenly help. 

Do all this... and what really needs to happen next in every area of our lives - will occur perfectly and naturally.

Thought Of The Day - Resentment

Resentment is a dangerous thing. It erodes confidence, fuels addiction, provides an apparent excuse for bad behaviour and destroys integrity. Worst of all, it ruins humour. Resentful people find very little to laugh about. We need to make a promise to ourself to act out of love and inspiration, not out of need or obligation. Then we will neither incur nor experience a negative reaction. We can free ourselves from all that makes us feel bad by reaching for the very best within ourself.
