Give your heart carte blanche to guide your conduct and way of being. Recognize that HOW you treat others is self-revelatory as it reflects how you feel towards yourself. When you are in discord with your authentic self you will be in discord with others for sure. Cultivate a kind and compassionate disposition in attitude and character that is grounded in strength and inspired by love.  This requires a strength of will to practice self-control and to be tactful and respectful in word and deed which equates to treating yourself and others with the necessary care and attention to prevent harming the mind, body, or soul.  

Embodying authenticity allows for a tonal shift that allows others to be their true self which fosters opportunities for real connection. Know that when you value yourself, by default, you acknowledge the value in everyone else as doing thus is honoring the Divine. Understand that infusing your responses with loving kindness is indicative of being connected with your authentic self which allows you to be genuinely happy in your skin and thus more accepting and forgiving of others' behavioral flaws. 

Do not compromise your soul by conforming to others' expectations at the cost of failing yourself. Nobody can live your life for you, so honor the gift of life by being all you can be, and staying true to yourself. Be loyal to yourself firstmost. It's your life, live it your way. Don't let circumstances define or confine you. You're all possibilities, know that unlimited potential resides within you. Recognize that your ATTITUDE influences the choices you make that influence how you show up which determines the quality of your life. Fear imposes limitations causing you to endure life. Positive thinking is the art of twisting negative words into positive words. This process will alter your mindset and enhance your well-being. Do not allow negative words to break you down. A mindful moment is all that stands between being stressed out and enjoying the clarity of mind. Live large and thrive.  

Do not lose your inner peace for anything, especially when your world appears to be falling apart. Cling to knowing that you, yes YOU will be okay. Recognize that though words can inspire change, it is an action that delivers change. Accept that Life works in cycles and moves to a rhythm outside your control. Recognize that when you hit a point where everything appears to be in limbo, nothing seems to be moving and it feels like life has decided to put you in a corner, realize that Life is gifting you time out to gather yourself. At times like that it is okay to retreat to recharge and rejuvenate your sensibilities so that you can re-enter life fully energized. 

Remember not to compare yourself to others, as you will always find others less or more elevated than you. Realize that life is not a competition and each one has their own unique timeline and lifepath for their earthly sojourn. Instead, strive to better yourself where possible and be accepting of your little idiosyncrasies. Staying true to yourself is honoring yourself and that is powerful. It is the inner commitment to be true to ourselves and follow our dreams that trigger the support of the Universe. Just like you select your outfits to make you look good, you should select your thoughts to make you feel good. Only you have the power to master your thoughts. Say no to the lies you tell yourself. Say no to your downcast soul understanding that it is not the strongest that survive, but those that adapt to changing circumstances. Know that Learning to embrace and fully accept yourself will put you on the path to self-mastery. Understand that every day is a potential fresh new start, so take this moment to remember to live consciously. It is so easy to go through life reflecting the image of ourselves that we think people want to see. Choose today to make a change. You can do anything you put your mind to is a refrain we pay lip service to but seldom implement. The truth is you can do anything if you are willing to underwrite it with the necessary action and the firm foundation of faith to be successful. Recapture the feeling of infallibleness you had as a child when you truly believed that you could do or be anything you put your mind to. What steps are you taking towards living your best life? Recognize that You are the sum of your thoughts, so learn to scrutinize them, paying attention to the genesis of your thoughts. Being aware of your thoughts makes it easier to break cycles of negativity to prevent it from impacting your life. 

Stop focusing on the negative and start to imagine the possibilities. Recognize that growth in your personage is a requisite to ensure you progress to your destiny of ultimate fulfilment. Be wary of becoming stuck in a rut, lulled by the comfort of the familiar as lack of expansion is akin to a hamster running on a wheel, trapped going nowhere. Recognize that Suffering is the direct result of allowing yourself to get trapped by the dark details of your life. Identify and release old patterns that no longer serve you. Now is the time to let bygones be bygones, wipe your slate clean and start afresh. We tend to overlook the little things, when we examine the quality of our lives, forgetting that it is these very ordinary things that facilitate the possibility of the extraordinary. Take time to care for your needs and wants, the same as you do for others. Remember that you are just as important and worthy of tender loving care. Remember to minimize your interaction with toxic individuals who just radiate misery and enjoy spreading their unhappiness as best as you can. Understand that their toxic energy is poison to your soul. Remember your responsibility is to yourself first. 

Cultivate the habit of taking a moment each day to recite affirmations to ensure you uplift yourself and keep yourself in high spirits. It's not how you look to others; it's how you see yourself that matters.  Do not allow yourself to be swayed by others into actions that go against your inner nature. Recognize that How you think or act is wholly your responsibility. Start living with a profound sense of intention to shape your future as doing so will bring you an expanding sense of purpose and joy. Realign your thoughts to enable you to create positive changes in your life. Step forward into your greatness. 

How you see yourself impacts how others view you, as they take their cue from you. No more negative self-talk. Be unapologetically comfortable in just being yourself. True beauty is an attitude, so embrace your true self as You become empowered when you harness the totality of who you are which ultimately leads to fulfillment as you swap knavedom for self-mastery. May these quotes inspire you to make life choices that integrate and celebrate your truth.  

“Laughter is the sun which drives winter from the human face.” - Victor Hugo 

Laughter radiates from your heart and lights up your eyes and face with a welcoming warmth that touches another and makes their life better and brighter. Genuine or fake, laughter not only affects your health and mood positively but also impacts the people around you. Recognize that laughter infuses you with divine cheerfulness that imbues you with a lightness of being as it induces relaxation and elevates your mood. This is why laughter is used widely as a therapeutic tool to fight numerous maladies nowadays. Thus, know that laughter is a superpower that you can use to make life easier for yourself as well as others. The best gift you can bestow on others is your laughter as it truly lightens the world.  The Divine gifted us with this simple and magical power to bring lightness and brightness to ourselves and others. Laughter ignites joy within us that infuses our surroundings and infects others. Know that laughter signals to others that you are open, welcoming, and approachable. It is synonymous with swallowing a happy pill as laughter releases endorphins, that feel-good chemical that triggers happiness to flood our senses. Laughter makes your face beam with glee as it puts pay to a glum countenance.  Make the most of your earthly sojourn by living joyfully and make laughter part of your daily routine to ensure a joyful life. Be sure to make time for laughter to elevate your sense of well-being. Realize that laughter works like a magic eraser, ridding the world of dreariness and imbuing it with a delightful vibrancy that enriches our psyche. 

“Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.” ~ E. B. White 

Living wholeheartedly allows you to immerse yourself in the myriad life experiences on offer which ignite your senses with varied emotions that colour and shape your worldview, leaving your soul imprinted with the hues of the myriad experiences your life journey brought to you. We tend to overlook the little things, when we examine the quality of our lives, forgetting that it is these very ordinary things that facilitate the possibility of the extraordinary. Don’t spoil a happy moment with thoughts of what was or what could be instead of just accepting what is. The surest way to kill off happiness is to think of what will make you happier as it always leaves you feeling dissatisfied with what you have. It robs you of the joy you could have had, being happy with what you have. 

“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, None can make you Spiritual. There is no teacher but your Own Soul.” - Swami Vivekananda 

Recognize that life is gifted to you for your dynamic growth, for your soul expansion and life supports you by exposing you to as many possibilities for your personal growth. The true self seeks release not restraint. So have courage and express who you are at a soul level. It is only through being authentic that you live a purposeful life. For your soul's purpose is bringing you back to yourself. The soul conspires to direct you towards situations and people that will facilitate healing and growth to ensure you thrive on your earthly sojourn. The soul seeks release and delight in nurturing experiences that exude positive energy in order that you can grow, flourish and bloom wherever life situates you.  Stop struggling, recognize that struggling heedlessly only binds you tighter in chaos. Instead take a moment from the cacophony of life to reflect quietly on the situation and then take deliberate action, guided by your intuition. Do not get stuck in your struggles but release them so you can bounce back into life. Trust your intuition to guide and keep you through the maelstrom of life, knowing that you have what it takes. Understand that only you can release past self-sabotaging patterns for your highest good. It is time for healing yourself; so, go ahead, and change your thoughts to change your life by getting to know your authentic self. You can only become truly whole by making the subconscious, conscious. You need to explore and acknowledge the denied hidden parts of yourself. Those less-than-stellar qualities that we cannot bear others to see. The aspects that we hide from others and refuse to take ownership of being referenced as our shadows.  Paradoxically it is only by allowing it to surface and scrutinizing it that clarity, understanding, and thus healing can occur. You need to let your light shine on the unacceptable bits of you so that your acceptance can transform and integrate them to unveil your authentic self. To become whole and live authentically you must explore your pain, guilt, fears, shame, sadness, jealousy, envy, selfishness, etcetera; in order to integrate and release what no longer serves you. This is key to becoming whole. Don't turn your back on your shadows but get to know them as this self-knowledge will help you into integrating all aspects of yourself into a harmonious whole. Therefore, stop lying to yourself about your feelings as what you suppress in yourself you will recognize in others. Like attracts like, so if you are angry or hurt you will attract angry or hurt people as they will mirror back what is hidden within your depths. Shadow work is necessary so that you can heal the wounded parts of yourself and move into the light, restored and whole again. It is most opportune to remember this quote by Carl Jung “Shadow work is the path of the heart warrior.” 

“Happiness is not by chance, but by choice.” – Jim Rohn 

Recognize that everything starts with you. Awareness allows you a measure of control, as the clarity gained allows you to avoid self-sabotaging tendencies by harnessing and channeling these aspects in service of your highest good. Decide to engage in behavior that is founded on loving care, kindness and compassion rather than inflicting needless pain in word and deed.    

Cultivating a Positive VIBES ONLY attitude will give you wings to soar through life. If you have been battling to make sense of a rapidly changing world and life seems to be hard, chaotic, or staid with no visible relief in sight, just keep on going. Don’t stop. Remember, though challenging times are an inevitable and integral component of life, there are many practices that will nourish and sustain your body, mind, and soul so that you don’t have to suffer needlessly.  

Recognize that only you can get you to the finish line. Take time to partake in creative activities such as arts and crafts, that sustain and feed your soul. Stoke your resilience by noticing and celebrating your accomplishments. Believe you are enough, nurture your spirit and soul. Allow yourself to accept the help and support of your fellow journeyman, nobody said you must do it alone.

“I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.” -Kurt Cobain 

Do not fear showing the world your true self. Do you. Stay true to who you are. Do not let your challenges and triumphs turn you into what pleases others, to the detriment of your authentic self. Doing you is ultimately the undoing, the unwrapping, the stripping away of all that is not you; that awakens the innate love that brings you back to yourself so that you recognize and understand your very essence, your truth. This metamorphosis allows you to connect with the sacred within and revel in the vibrant exuberance of Being. 

You can decide at any point in your life to live your life in accordance with what resonates with your higher self and enjoy living a more authentic life. Let your true nature shine forth in all its glory and color your surroundings with your joy, faith, trust, and happiness in life. Self-love equates to knowing you are enough and that is the most powerful knowledge to get you through life living your truth, without kowtowing to others' expectations. Be selective in your interactions, choose people that lift you higher rather than spending it with those that drag you down into the doldrums. You are unique, there is no other quite like you so do not hide your authentic self from others.  

“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” - Aristotle 

Learn the lesson your misfortune teaches you so that you can let go and move on with your life. Do not let the “Why’s” of a situation entrap and keep you stuck in emotional misery. Your state of happiness is based on your inner life and is not influenced by your wealth or lack thereof. Happiness is found on the inside, not the 

outside. Do not stay in the energy of lack or get stuck in your struggles but release by opening your heart to love and life so you can bounce back ready to move forward in abundance. Recognize that struggles are life lessons to help you to elevate yourself to the next level. You are ready. You can do it.
