Thought for the Day

Simplicity should be woven into life's rich tapestry - and we should try our best to live by it.

It won't always be easy, but you can rule out a lot of life's dramas just by keeping it simple.

Speak your truth, make it your best friend.  Deliver it with kindess and be gentle with yourself when receiving it - especially when it may be pointing out elements you need to work on.

Why complicate life when you really don't need to?

Thought for the day

The sky isn't always blue
The sun doesn't always shine
It's alright to fall apart...sometimes...

- "One and One" - Robert Miles 

It's alright to fall apart sometimes.  Life is about the highs and the lows - the highs are enjoyed even more when you experience the lows.  And the lows serve as the greatest teachers if you allow yourself to learn from them.

Even when you embrace positivity and you find ways to combat the negative, sometimes things get overwhelming.  And it's alright - it happens to everyone, even those who appear to have it all together.

You will get through it and you will emerge stronger - you are stronger than you know, you just have to believe it.

Thought for the day

"There are two types of decisions. Ones where you are right, and ones that you learn from."

I can't remember if I read this somewhere or somehow put it together from a bunch of things I read, but either way, remembering this has given me a lot of comfort over the years.

It's helped me forgive myself for the things I've done that may have hurt other people (and myself) and asked me to gently learn from those mistakes to make sure I do my best not to do them again.

I've found this to be one of my greatest lessons so far - to become a better person, you have to make amends, but you have to forgive yourself first.
