Thoughts to Ponder

Love yourself first, and then you can give infinite love away.

Does the above sentence seem right to you? In fact, it is very much true. You need to love yourself enough, be contented with yourself and get rid of the inner mind negative chatter and replace them with positive thoughts every time. According to top self-help expert, Andy Shaw, at least 15 seconds of positive thinking per day will pay off. So once you are happily married to yourself, you can spread your wings, fall in love, marry and spread your love.

I want to express the above thoughts in a more elaborate way, and slightly from a different perspective, by the line from Peyton C March:

 There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life- happiness, freedom and peace of mind- are always attained by giving them to someone else.

 

Soul-Lifting Thoughts

What you tell others have a lot to say about you.

Does the above line strike you anyway? Yes, what you tell others stand up for you strengths, beliefs, weaknesses and limitations. The same goes for backbiters, backstabbers and negative people who talk in such a garbage language that only tell about themselves and not certainly about you. So cheer up and never ever take anything personally!! It is the problem of the other party. So focus on your wants, desires and life purposes and sing with me the following lines:

I am only one,

But still I am one.

I cannot do everything,

But still I can do something.

And because I cannot do everything,

I will not refuse to do the something

                                       that I can do.

-          Edward Everett Hale

Insightful Thoughts

Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

                                                                                       --Charles Swindoll

Does the above line ring a bell? Yes, it’s true. It is hardly the events in the day that affect us but how we give meaning to those events and perceive them. You can change that belief in 30 seconds and still be happy. It is a matter of diverting your thoughts to happier stuffs.

A line in harmony with the above line is:

It's not our environment in life that shapes us; it's the belief we attach to the environment and those events.

As an ending note, I would like to add that too many a time we blame others for what goes wrong in our lives. The following lines will help you to tap into a good perspective:

Be responsible for everything that happens in your life. Cease to blame others.

Blaming others puts you in victim phase. Cease to be a victim.
