Always Believe In Yourself!
Success !!
Success Comes In Many Forms.
From the child taking its first step,
To an elderly person still agile,
Success welcomes us all.
Neither age nor gender nor race
can impede our chance to succeed
in reaching our dream,
or our chosen goal.
Success is not; the biggest house,
the fastest car, or
the nameplate on your door,
but it is a compassionate heart,
a smiling face,
and challenges overcome,
Success is not; money in the bank,
stamps on your passport, or
fancy gym memberships
But it is; a helping hand,
a forgiving nature
and a welcoming home.
Success is not; a famous face,
a fancy title or
the latest cellular phone,
But it is; the will to try again,
when all others; would’ve given up.
Success is not;
the belief that everything,
is one’s due reward
But it is; faith,
Commitment and persistence,
Together with an inner trust,
that all will be well.
So if you’re ready to walk away from your dream,
after one too many setbacks, remember….
Failure is only temporary.
Success is eternal and has no firm definition.

Is Your Soul Tired? If So, Make 2016 The Year Of YOU!!
My day started, with me being; overwhelmed by a tsunami of someone else’s discontent – this was even before, I’d had my first cuppa.
I sat for 30 minutes listening to gripes & groans, about how this person wasn’t happy with their life, and the changes they wanted to make, and it made me realise……
My Soul; Is Tired!
If, like me, you’re a listener, a volunteer, a doer-for-others, then perhaps you’ve also reached the same point in life I have, whereby; you want to ask; as the song says, “What about me? It isn’t fair!”
What About Me? Moving Pictures.
I’m not meaning to sound; selfish, self-centred, or even unwilling to help, because I’ll gladly do anything for anyone, in fact, I enjoy doing things for other people and am a great, believer, in being an instigator, when; paying-it-forward.
I find it natural to help someone else, and I’m sure many of you feel the same but has it occurred to any of us ‘givers’ it’s very easy to be taken for granted, and sometimes, we forget; what’s best for ‘You’.
To give you some recent, examples from my own life…….
Whilst walking back from the gym this morning; an acquaintance gave me a brand-new bookcase. It was small but lovely, and I carried this gift, several hundred yards home, only; to automatically offer it to my mother, who expressed a liking for it – Being a ‘giver’, it was an innate reaction to do this, even though; I wanted the item myself (fortunately, mum said no, but I would’ve gladly handed it over).
Then, a few days ago, I was talking to a young nephew & niece, who I see infrequently, as they live in another state when they asked if they could feed the ducks. I enquired of them, would this be permissible with their father (he was absent at the time) only to be told “Daddy said you’d take us to the lake, to feed the ducks”…….I was happy to do it, but was disconcerted; to discover myself being volunteered without any actual input.
If this, or similar situations occur in your life, like me; you must remember…….
This; is Your Life!
And, you too, are entitled to choices.
You can help whomever, whenever, but not at the detriment to self.
You deserve better, and ‘are’ the most valuable person in your life.
Remember; gratitude is something, ‘you’ are also entitled too.
Don’t get, me wrong; doing-for-others, can be a wonderful experience, in fact, I had another incident, recently, whereby I happily pitched in, and not only enjoyed it immensely, but I learnt something new, which may aid me, in a future venture. I also received a lovely expression of thanks.
To give; an abridged version……
I received a random phone call from a lady (Lynne) in Canada, who was looking for some childhood friends, she’d known in Perth 50 years ago. It transpired they had my surname, and Lynne was hoping to visit them, during a future trip – therefore, I took it upon myself to do some research online, and ‘may’ have located these people for her, after discovering their marital names……I’m still awaiting confirmation that they’re the correct people, but even so, the task was no hardship, at all.
Misquoting the Bible, what I’m trying to say with this post, is;
Do unto You, As, you would wish done, unto Others.
In Other Words:
Don’t Forget You!!!
And, Make 2016 ‘The Year Of You!!’
“LOVE AND CARE YOUR SELF”(2)
Self care is never selfish act it is good stewardship
of the only gift I have
The gift I put on earth to offer to others
When you adopt the view point that there is nothing that exists that is not a part of you
That any judgement you make is self judgement
That any criticism
you will wisely extend to yourself
An unconditional love that will be the light of the world
why should we worry about others think of us
Do we have more confident in
In their opinions than we do our own
To establish true self esteem
we must concentrate on our successes
And forget about the failures and nigative in our lives
A healthy self love means we have no
Compulsion to justify to justify to ourselves
Or other authors why we take vacation
Why we sleep late who we buy new shoes
why we…

“LOVE AND CARE YOUR SELF” (1)
This is something we should all take on board.
Love you yourself as much as any body in entire universe
Deserve your love and affection
until you value yourself you won’t value your time
until you value your time
You will not do anything with it
A man can not be Successful and complete comfortable
Without his own approval
Never be bullied into silence
Never allowed yourself to be made a victim
Accept no one’s definition of your choice
And life but define yourself
Love yourself first and every thing else falls into line
You really have to love yourself to get any thing
Done in the world
Remember always that you not only have the right
To be an individual
You have no obligation to be one
If you could sense how improvement
You are to the lives of those you meet
How improvement you can be to people
You may never even dream of there is
Something…

Don’t Let Life Stop You!
I’d originally planned to do the ‘3-day Quote Challenge’ but for some reason, my life seems to be extra busy lately…..don’t ask me why, I’m not really accomplishing more that I normally do, but my time just seems to be flying by, and; I know I’ve been busy, I’m just not sure; at what! Therefore, I’ve decided to post three quotes that touch my heart.
I hope you like them too.
