“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves,” by Sir Edmund Hillary. Each morning we’re blessed to awaken is an opportunity to be a better version of ourselves than we were on yesterday.
We are far more blessed than we realize or appreciate. We need to remember these inspiring words by Dr. Maya Angelou. “Your crown has been bought and paid for. Put it on your head and wear it.”
“There will be haters, there will be doubters, there will be non-believers, and then there will be you proving them wrong,” by Jennifer Van Allen. You don’t need others to believe in you. You just need to believe in yourself. BELIEF! ATTITUDE! ACTIONS! That’s a winning strategy!
“You can have everything you want if you’re willing to give up the belief that you can't have it,” by Dr. Robert Anthony. You are enough! Once you realize that truth you can begin to build the life you want. #LuminousQuotes
Unfortunately, people will let us down. Our goal is not to allow the disappointment to make us angry or bitter. Instead we use what others meant for our harm to become stronger, wiser, and committed. Remember our hope doesn’t rely upon others, but in Jesus.
“It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes,” by Sally Field.We can’t view ourselves through the eyes of others.They too see things through the lens of their experiences. We can only view ourselves through the eyes of self-acceptance and understanding.
One of the greatest gifts is time. Time we spend in quiet meditation with God, time we share with others, and time we give ourselves to relax and exhale.
“We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are,” by Oprah Winfrey. Each sunrise is different, as such, each day we too should be different. Better, wiser, and more loving than we were yesterday.
What we have can be replaced, if lost. What we do can be imitated. How we make others feel can have a ripple effect. What we say, has the ability to plant seeds of hope, offer encouragement, and empowerment. What we see can enlighten us to the complexities which surrounds us.
We all have a sunrise and a sunset date attached to our lives. It’s important to enjoy the sunrises. Don’t get so caught up on the destination that we neglect to enjoy the journey. The journey is where all the goodness and adventures await!
Perfection doesn’t exist. However, perfect moments - those moments when our hearts are filled with joy and awe at God’s goodness. Those moments become the cornerstone of the stories which comprise our lives.
