If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Well short and sweet this morning as I'm driving to Maidenhead so need
to get my wriggle on, need to sort mom before I go and leave her food and drugs
etc ;-)
So I've decided to borrow todays blog from a pinterest pic because I
know a lot of people are giving stuff up for Lent at the moment and I'm not a
big fan of that idea, especially when it's usually a food item you love to eat
such as chocolate, so here's some suggestions for things I agree would help us
all to get a little happier;
15 Things to Give Up If You Want to Be Happy
1.
Give up your need to always be right.
Would
I rather be right, or would I rather be kind? — Wayne Dyer
2.
Give up your need for control.
By
letting it go, it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. When
you try & try, the world is beyond winning. — Lao Tzu
3.
Give up on blaming others.
A man
can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody
else. —
John Burroughs
4.
Give up your self-defeating self-talk.
The
mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes
very destructive. —
Eckhart Tolle
5.
Give up your limiting beliefs.
A
belief is not an idea held by the mind; it is an idea that holds the mind. — Elly Roselle
6.
Give up complaining.
You
can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have
roses. —
Ziggy
7.
Give up the luxury of criticism.
Spend
so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. — Christian D. Larsen
8.
Give up your need to impress others.
Don’t
try to impress others. Let them have the fun of impressing you. — James R. Fisher, Jr.
9.
Give up your resistance to change.
Follow
your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only
walls. —
Joseph Campbell
10.
Give up labels.
The
highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything
about. —
Wayne Dyer
11.
Give up on your fears.
The
only thing we have to fear is fear itself. — Franklin Delano Roosevelt
12.
Give up your excuses.
99% of
failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. — George Washington
Carver
13.
Give up the past.
Forget
the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the
future. —
Christian D. Larsen
14.
Give up attachment.
The
wise individual doesn’t get too attached to any of life’s pleasures, knowing
that wonderful science is hard at work proving it’s bad for him. — Bill Vaughan
15.
Give up living your life to other people’s expectations.
The
world is a mirror and reflects back your expectations. What you get is what you
see. You create your own reality. — Denis Waitley
I like them a lot, they originally come from http://infographicaday.com/15-things-to-give-up-if-you-want-to-be-happy/
which took the idea from http://worldobserveronline.com/2012/04/25/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-happy/
See rarely is an idea original, we're all very similar but also very
unique. Embrace your individuality and
choose to be happy, if you can through in some healthy too, all the better.
Now wish me luck as I attempt to make it 'food wise' through a day which
is out of the norm for me and I haven't planned at all for! I can feel a stop at a petrol station or a
M&S service station for supplies - I'll make them healthy ones though I
promise.
Have a great day BeYOUtiful, yay it's Monday!
