Friday’s Purposeful Question

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

"It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are." ~ e. e. cummings

“Who are you becoming?”

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." ~ Albert Einstein

Have a fabulous weekend! I know I will!

Decide to Be Happy

Just for today, make the decision to be happy. 

How? Change your focus. Focus is power.

If you focus on what's wrong, you will find it everywhere.

If you focus on what's right, you will find it everywhere!

Focus on what's working in your life.
Focus on how far you have come.
Focus on your ability to think, feel and attract.
Focus on someone or something you love.

So, just for today, deliberately focus on something or someone that makes you feel good. 

And have a stellar weekend!

Why Worry?

“Worry is like a rocking chair – it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.” ~ Author unknown

STOP, TAKE A BREATH, and ASK:
  • What do you tend to worry about? 
  • What does worrying do for you? 
  • What's the benefit of worrying?

When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.” ~ Winston Churchill

“There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.” ~ Harold Stephens
