FRIENDS AND OUR FRIENDSHIPS

FRIENDS AND OUR FRIENDSHIPS

How many REAL, CLOSE FRIENDS do you have?

I am grateful for and blessed to have a couple of friends. A few who make my life such a special and interesting one; some who rock my world!!

I bet most of us can count them with the fingers on our one hand (or a palm in case of an animal), possibly two hands/palms (if you are lucky enough!). 

Yes! Just a few, a couple of real ones.

Cherish EVERY friendship you have and keep improving them on a daily basis!!!

 And make sure you let them know how you feel about them!!

There are, actually, many ways by which you can keep in touch with you friends.

§  I have been writing/sending letters and cards (yes, actually post them by and via a snail mail!) with a very, very good friend of mine since 2007 when we both met in the USA and still going strong! To me, receiving her letters and cards from all over the world is a gift I give myself and, of course, I do make sure, she has been given the same treatment and receiving even more! I cherish this friendship completely and absolutely and it is one of those things that just make my days and put the smile on my face!

§  Personal, face-to-face contact at its best! Visiting each other, touch.

§  Phone calls

§  E-mails

§  Text messaging

§  Instant messaging / Chats

§  Social networking - Facebook updates, etc.

§  Skype

§  You will find your own way if you really, really, REALLY want to!!

If you are friendly enough, you will have friends. The point is in finding the ones that are worth fighting and waiting for. It is not about quantity but it is all about QUALITY!

Then.. there are people who kind of change or direct your life in a certain way. Those are your Soul Mates. Gifts in another words. J Be grateful for their coming into your life! Your life would stay all the same, no drastic change in particular, with NOT having them shown up on your path of your Life’s Journey! I am proud to call myself lucky in that area. I have them and I am making sure they know about it!! J

Do not take for granted any friendship that has been granted and given to you!

What ACTIONS do you take in order to keep your friendships??

Enjoy, and please post a comment to let me know what you think.

Thank you! :-)

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

This is a HOT Topic, these days! I am aware of that; I realize that!

I feel I have always had an entrepreneurial soul and spirit. My parents may have planted it by putting in the seed, right from the roots to grow, even without them knowing it. They have always relied on themselves and only themselves! I am a hard working person who loves to read, learn, study, teach, lead, educate myself, better myself. I have dealt with most life issues without any one’s help and I definitely am self-conscious learner, self- independent and self-made person.

I do know that people become like those 5 people who they surround themselves with on a daily basis and, also, the books they read have an incredible influence on their destinies!

I prefer to make my own rules and be a leader of my own life!

Easily said than done!

Let us be Professionals in this Life field of ours!

What does taking charge of your life mean for you??

Things that worked yesterday may not be working today when we would be better off learning and preparing for tomorrow! One of the best gifts you could give to your children is Confidence. We live in a world of information. To be precise – overload of information. We are definitely not lacking resources. What we need it to Be Resourceful.

How do you achieve this?

How about by implementing your both sides of your brain! Your left side and your right side. Try new things daily. Invent. Put on your thinking hats. Be creative. Exercise your logical ability. Make up things and stories. Solve puzzles. Do crosswords. Have you ever done Sudoku before? There is always a way if you are willing enough and pursued yourself this is so. Believe and you will achieve!

Healthy eating and daily aerobic along with brain exercises go all hand in hand. Mind – body connection. Also, build your relationships and build strongly on them. Intimate relationship is the ground you build your life on! No one is an island; we need one another for support, advice, laugh and fun, friendship, business, Love. That is what we are made of. See, this subject was all about Entrepreneurship and it all turned to Love. Reason?

Love is where it all begins, Love is where it all ends!

Easy peasy! J

Good Luck & Never Give Up!!

And as always, please, share your opinions, views, comments, feedback.

Thank you very much!

FORGIVENESS

FORGIVENESS

This is a BIG Topic.

Forgiveness is the gift you give yourself! If you are holding onto your resentment for someone, that someone has still power over your life!

It takes a special and mature person and courage to be forgiving.

No one can make you inferior, unless you give them the permission to do so!

Forgive everyone AND yourself!

There is nothing good in being unforgiving. Just the feeling after you have just forgiven someone, just the moment after you have done this, it is worth everything you’ve got! When you release it, more options begin to open up right after that for you! There have been written many, many, numerous and countless books, articles, etc. on this subject. And rightly so! Seminars are being held that help people and give them enough strength and courage to go and forgive others. I believe the majority of illnesses are based on and have roots in holding resentment and grudges and in non-ability to forgive! Do yourself a favour and ‘get rid of’ that what you do not need! Your life will become ‘lighter’! Do not carry all that unnecessary ‘junk’ that all it does is slow you down!

If you think of it, what else the unforgiving attitude is going to bring you but stress?? I assume THIS IS the last thing on your mind and a to-do list for you to aim for! I realize I may be speaking very ‘general’ here.. But YES! It actually applies to anything! Do not make a big deal out of nothing! Do not be tempted to make a mountain out of a mole hill! J It is just simply not worth your time, effort, energy. If you put garbage in, you will eventually get garbage out! Resist being the one who has the last world! Not a very good trait and attitude to possess! Most of the time the person you are not willing to forgive for whatever reason has not clue whatsoever that you have been hurting since the ‘accident’! Have you ever thought of that?? There are, also, many ways how to approach it and deal with it to bring you on the path of forgiveness. Choose the one that works best for you! I encourage you to overcome the BIG EGO OF YOURS and forgive someone who you should have forgiven ages ago OR the first person who has wronged you today!

o   Have you forgiven someone today??

o   Are you being forgiving??

Just do it!! J

Thank you for your time and attention! Much, much appreciated!

LAUGHING!!!!!

LAUGHING!!!!! – MY favourite topic to write about J

ü  Exercise,

ü  Breathing,

ü  Laughing,

ü  Smiling,

ü  Physiology,

ü  Yoga,

ü  Meditation,

ü  Loving,

ü  Being Happy,

ü  Being Cheerful,

ü  Being Joyful,

ü  Being Grateful and more!

Ø  We sing not because we are happy, we are happy because we sing!!

Ø  We cannot smile and feel ‘not so good’ at the same time!!

Ø  Smile is the most beautiful thing on every person!

Ø  It takes just as much energy to be happy and smiling as it takes to be upset and angry. Being upset may feel better at times, but being nice will get you farther.

Ø  Decide to be happy each day! It is all in your attitude. You have got to have the right perspective.

Ø  Laugh, laugh, laugh daily!! And keep smiling every day. It may take some getting used to it but the rewards are worth it! Your life will never be the same again.

So… Laugh Our Heads Off! Seriously!! Let us laugh our heads off. Now, let’s put them back on again.

Thank you and you know what to do! J

ASK, ASK, ASK, ASK, ASK

ASK, ASK, ASK, ASK, ASK

Clarity is the power!

WHAT DO YOU WANT??

Act as if (you already know, have, are)!

What would you do if you knew you could not fail ???

What is your heart’s greatest desire? Are you willing to go for it? Listen to your intuition.

I have 2 passions right now at the moment in my life and I am concentrating on them every single each day. And I am moving one step further to fulfilling them and making them my reality, daily. I can see clues everywhere I go because I look for them!

When you know exactly what you want, when you are clear about what you are after, your brain will lead you to the people, situations, places, circumstances, opportunities, events that will help you to achieve your goals. This is called RAS (google for more details!).

Writing down your goals is very helpful in that that it says: Hey there, look here, he/she means it!! Better go to work and keep at it! This person knows what he/she wants and goes for it!

• ·         If you cannot manage 1 scope of ice-cream, how are you going to cope with 2 scopes??

• ·         If you did not know what you wanted to achieve in your life, how would you know when you get there?

• ·         Model the behaviour yourself, the one you want to see in others! It will rub off on them!

• ·         What you resist – persist!

SHOW THAT YOU REALLY, REALLY MEAN IT!!

Please, share here with others about what YOU ARE AMING AT NOW.

Thank youJ

Be back in a couple of days again..

All The Best

Be the change you want to see in the world!

Be the change you want to see in the world!

Walk your talk! Be an example! Every single day!

Where shall I focus my thoughts right now??

• ·         Would you like to have more love in your life – give more love!
• 
  
• ·         Would you like to have more passion in your life – give more passion of yours away!
• 
  
• ·         Would you like to have more friends in your life – be more friendly!
• 
  
• ·         Would you like to have more money in your life – why not share 10% of your income with those who need it most?!! It shows you there is more than enough for everyone! Ah, you don’t have any money.. Go and give away some of your free time!
• 
  
• ·         Would you like to have more energy in your life – get off the sofa and keep moving! (that is, also, by the way, the greatest antidote to stress!!)

Our children do not learn from what we say but we teach them (they observe and watch) by what actions we take.

Are you actually doing what you are preaching OR are you just providing/doing a lip service to it instead??

1. Feed your mind and body on a regular basis with the wholesome news and food. What goes in, comes out. Do not bring in any junk food!!
2. Find a role model who inspires you, make an action plan and go ahead and implement it!
3. And finally, help someone out who is in need of help. It teaches your brain how grateful you should be and feel!!

Start small. No need to start off BIG. But, make sure, YOU DO START!!

Make it your habit which then turns into being your destiny!

Aim to be the Best Possible Version of Yourself! 

Thank you for reading! :-)

HANG IN THERE !!!

HANG IN THERE !!!

Never ever, ever, ever give up!!

(That pretty much sums up everything)

Falling down is NOT a failure; staying down there IS !!

Have you ever given up on anything in your life? Well, I guess, who has not?

In my case, I have noticed, the older I get, surprisingly, the braver, bolder, courageous and stronger I get. Oh yeah..... :-)

Every day is a miracle and we are meant to treat it that way. 

This day has been given to you for a reason. Make the best of it! 

• We are breathing,
• we are still in the ring, 
• we are still on the playing field, 
• we still have a chance to make a difference. 

When one door closes, another one opens for you and me. 

Do not be discouraged, by anything and anyone! Everything happens for a reason. Keep looking and searching for the good in things and you and I will surely find them. Find the benefits in the obstacles!

Did you know that your first hour after awakening is going to set you up for the rest of the day? How are you going to be 'set up'?!? You realize you have 2 choices here; so you may as well decide to be happy for the rest of the day and life. Your and my days our like pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that only we hold in our hands. 

What won't break you, THAT will make you stronger. If all days are 'perfect' and 'easy', well, then, we are going to get bored.

There is no such a thing as a coincidence. 

Look for the signs and your life will unfold right in front of your eyes. I know.

This journey is always under constructions.

It is always a work in progress. 

Good LUCK!

Soul Mate(s)

Soul Mate(s)

I have met him. Yes.

I know He was my Soul Mate Love.

He is my Soul Mate.

I adored everything about our 'collision'. All ups and downs and more and all in between!

To me, meeting this person felt like coming home, coming back from where I came and I was meant to return to at the end. Feeling I have never felt before and ever since. At last. And finally.

And embrace it. Well, my soul anyway.

He has influenced me in many ways and provided me with open questions about myself as a person and as a woman that only I can know the answers to! And I made sure he knew! I thanked him. I realize that it is all a matter of timing. 5 years from now…

Now, we all have soul mates. They are all around us. And to some, it may be a surprise – there can be more than one. You may have heard the saying that goes something like this – there are people who teach us a lesson or two, they are also people who stay with us for a season AND there are people who stick with us for a lifetime, too!!

Your task is to differentiate and find out who is who.

I believe my soul mate finds his way, whatever it is. If he did, that would be all well and good. If the opposite was the case, then I did not miss out on much…, did I??

Go out there and keep looking for your soul mates. No one is an island. We are meant to socialize and enjoy each other’s company. Relationships are the second most important aspect in your life. Start by loving and knowing about yourself (that is the first most important thing you do in your life) in order to attract and commit to others!

Loving one another is our reason, our purpose for living!

And hey you there, you know who you are – I really, really like you!

Thank you  :-)

Be YOURSELF, everyone else is already TAKEN !!!

Be YOURSELF, everyone else is already TAKEN !!!

Sound familiar? I suppose every one of us has heard that before at one point or another – be yourself, do not pretend to be someone else. There is no point in being otherwise but yourself!

But hey, are we listening here??

• Are we still being jealous, envy, and wishing to be, do and have that what we do not have, what we are not and what we knew we were supposed to be doing??

• Do you care and worry about what others think of you? Do you do things just to paint a picture in someone else's eyes??

• Are you wearing a mask?

• Are you behaving the same when alone AND when with someone?

• Are you walking (literally and in life, too!) and enjoying, savouring every step OR are you watchful of how others might perceive you and concentrating on others looking at you?? OK, I get it!

Now, you get this – no one cares as much as you do about your walking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fact!!

And watch out for that big rock in front of you, so you won’t fall over!! J

Now, I am not saying that carelessness is the winner. You should care about how the things you say and do affect the people around you..

BE AUTHENTIC! => That is the WINNER !! That is the name of the game. You do that, and your life will never be the same again!

Now, here comes the kicker: What are you thinking of yourself ?!?

Why are we not just happy with and grateful for who we are, what we own/have and with what we are doing on a day to day basis. 

Oh no, that would be way too easy! (...)

Thank you for reading!! And please, please give a big smile at YOURSELF in the mirror today! Do it for YOURSELF, of course!

Any feedback & comment much appreciated :-) Thank you!
