Quote for the day

"When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal, you do not change your decision to get there." —Zig Ziglar

I might have to remind myself of this for so many things...today though I'm thinking I need the reminder when it comes to working out since I can no longer bring myself to get out of bed at 5:45.

Quote for the day

"When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better." —Pauline R. Kezer

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed with things that I do exactly that...nothing. I procrastinate because its the easy thing to do. But boy do I feel better if I just take little steps towards my goals...baby steps. One at a time. Breaking my tasks down and doing something helps my brain feel so much less cluttered. :) And believe me there are times when my brain definitely needs that. :)

Quote

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experiences behind him. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Fear sometimes paralyzes us. I think about all the things we are capable of or all the things we should and could do but don't do because of something inside that causes us to fear the situation. Like Joyce Meyer's say "Do it afraid." If we can overcome the fear, we are capable of going forward in life in ways that we couldn't have imagined before. I have to remind myself that there are times when fear is definitely something we should listen to but there are other times when fear is just silly. Another quote that I love from Joyce Meyer is... "Fear stands for "False Evidence Appearing Real." Love that. I remember using it when I had to have scary medical tests done. I just kept saying those words to myself and you know what...The tests weren't horrible at all. The scariest part was thinking it was going to be scary. :)

Quote of the day

"Nothing changes until your mind changes. What you believe becomes your reality. Take every thought captive." -Joyce Meyer

Our thoughts are more powerful than we can ever imagine.

What can you do?

What can you do today to make someone else's life better? Sometimes the best way to help ourselves is to help someone else.

There's this amazing force out there. Call it karma or whatever. But I believe that what we put out has a way of coming back to us. Its this amazing circle in life.

Quote for the day

"Don't minimize the power of little things that transpire in the course of your normal everyday life." -Joyce Meyer

I think if we could really take in all the little and good things that happened in day...really absorb it. We would be amazed at how much there is to be thankful for. Life isn't always about the big things.

Quote of the day

"Your beliefs become the rules you live by. Because of this, they actually have the potential to draw these experiences toward you." - Cheryl Richardson, The Unmistakable Touch of Grace

I'd Highly Recommend this book.
