UNECESSARY HEARTACHE - Thursday, 6/23

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  Have you ever intentionally caused harm to someone.  Have words ever come out of your mouth that you immediately wished you hadn't said?  Emotions often make us do and say things that bewilder us. 

If for a moment we stopped and took a breath we can prevent harm from reaching its target but when we don't care about the results its more about us than the intended victim.  Today's quote is, "Knowingly causing pain and suffering upon anyone is the ego unwilling to relinquish control."  

There is a problem when the importance of having the last word is more important than the feelings of someone else.  I find it baffling how easily and naturally this behavior comes to some people.  When there is a miscommunication or problem between people, a conversation is all that is needed.

Causing unnecessary pain and anguish is no longer the voice of a caring human being but a self-centered ego.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

POISONOUS WORDS

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  Who doesn't love a good story.  Especially ones that start with the sentence, "did you hear...." It could be something about a person on the big screen, the little screen or one in our very own contact list.  I like hearing good things about people whether I know them or not but how easy is it to get sucked into that conversation of contempt for someone we never met and one who could be our supposed bestie.

Today's quote is, "Gossip will pull you into a vortex of judgment and ridicule of others as there is no such thing as an innocent bystander."   One is either repelled or pulled in by gossip.  It can be alluring and inviting however gossip by its very nature is based on what you have read somewhere or heard from someone without any basis for truth.

To malign someone you don't know is ridiculous.  To malign someone you know is mean.  What you hear may or may not be true.  Don't give in to malicious conversation.  The one you are gossiping about could be doing the very same thing to you.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

FIX THE PROBLEM

Good morning everyone.  Happy Thursday.  Talking about your problems to a friend does one of two things or both.  It can help you because you can blow off steam, however; if done too often, can make that friend want to run for the metaphorical hills.  Truth bomb.  No one wants to listen to anyone's problems over and over again.  

If you are hurting in any way, shape or form it is up to you to fix it.  Today's quote is, "Healing can only happen with one hundred percent of your participation."  Cars don't drive themselves.  Well some do but I still recommend being in the driver's seat to avoid a crash.  When you feel as though you are headed straight for a wall there is only one person to rely on and that person is you.

We are the ones who need to take charge of ourselves, every aspect of our lives and how we live those lives.  How we choose to heal is a matter to take into our own hands as well but can only happen if we are fully vested.  Can you still vent to your bff?  Of course you can but the responsibility of healing is yours and yours alone.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

LOVE YOURSELF

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  Accomplishing a task gives us a good feeling.  We know the difference between a half assed job and one well done. We know when we have done our best and while it may feel good to be acknowledged, outside validation isn't necessary.

Today's quote is, "To be loved - to be valued - to be appreciated all begins with you."  If you don't love yourself, how can anyone else love you?  If you don't value who you are, how is anyone else going to do that and if you don't appreciate yourself, how can you expect it from an outside source.

We know that self love is important.  Countless books have been written on the topic of self and how we need to be our own best friend, etc. etc.  Without self love, self value and self appreciation we settle in all facets of our lives from relationships to employment.  

Be your biggest hero and let all others follow suit.  Self love, self value and self appreciation begins not from the outside but from within.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

ALL IN YOUR MIND - Thursday, 6/9

Good morning and happy Thursday.  What is good and bad.  I don't mean chocolate is good and liver is bad.  What makes something good and what makes something bad.  A common question asked by our spouse, partner or children (sometimes) when we walk in the door is, "how was your day?"  To which we answer, "good" or "bad."  

There are definitely events and or situations that are better than others leading to a so called good or bad day but attitude makes a huge contribution.

Today's quote is, "The bad day you're having is a figment of your creation."  No one enjoys being insulted, criticized, reprimanded or belittled.  Not my idea of a good time, yet some people thrive on doing that to others.  We are made of different genes.  We grew up in different environments.  That glass that you see as half full is half empty to someone else.  That day you perceive as bad can be perceived as good just as easily.

On the dullest of days, look at the bright side and imagine the sun shining down upon you!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

WHAT IS LOVE

 Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  There's a song by John Paul Young that I always loved. The title is, "Love is in the Air."  "Love is in the air everywhere I look around, Love is in the air every sight and every sound."  Aren't those lovely lyrics?  When we hear the word LOVE often our minds go to the romantic aspects but like the song says, love is everywhere.

Today's quote is, "What is love - it is a sunset - a sunrise -  the ocean waves -  a baby's laugh - love is found not just in the heart but in everything and everyone."  Love is so much more than gazing into the eyes of someone you adore.  Love can be the quiet you need on an afternoon or a phone conversation with a friend.  

Love is taking notice of your surroundings with a fresh eye.  Love is holding space for others without judgement.  Love is deep in your heart and on your sleeve.  Allow love to be in all people and all things Its there, you just need to notice.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

LET IT GO

 Good morning everyone.  Happy Thursday.  Fear is universal.  It is something that every human being and animal experiences.  It is both a natural and biological condition, important to experience because fear actually keeps us safe by allowing survival instincts to kick in when necessary.  

Fear can also be learned.  Our parents can instill fears that are hard to break free from.  It is the reason we don't speak up when we feel we have been wronged.  It is the reason many of us remain in bad relationships and crappy jobs because we are afraid there is nothing else and so we hold tightly to what doesn't serve us out of fear of having nothing else.  After all isn't an abusive relationship better than no relationship.  Isn't an abusive boss better than not having a job?  WHAIT!  WHAT??????

Today's quote is, "Let go - when you let go your world opens up to all - it is only when  you let go that you can fully receive."  Fear keeps us in places we don't want to be and don't deserve to be.  Think highly of yourself and let go of what is not working for when you do the Universe will shower you with all that you want and all that you deserve!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy
