It used to be a concern of mine that I was missing out on life. A case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Truth of the matter is when we die we are all equal. The key is to be happy with what you have. It is proven that having more does not make you happy. Happy is a state of mind.
Happy is a commodity that everybody and there dog is trying to sell you. You can buy happy but it wears thin when you can't make the payments. Still it would be nice to have enough money to never have to worry about the bills. Unfortunately it seems to be a state of mind that says if we have money we have to spend it. Money has been a worry since time began, since before there was even money.
I'm not sure what St. Bartholomew was referring to but it was most likely life in general. And yes there is help out there, whether it is to change a tire or to hold your hand during a panic attack. Seems the more you help the more help is available.
If you believe something hard enough it becomes true. Might as well believe something positive.
Hugs, I believe imagination would make an interesting thread.
Quote of the Day: Once you begin to believe there is help "out there," you will know it to be true. - Saint Bartholomew
There is so much life I missed, since I thought I couldn't access some resources, and now they become available. I can't understand this. I beleive that our imagination is the key, and what we will let it do.
Yes, enough belief and it becomes "core". Successful people believe in themselves and what they believe is positive. Their core beliefs are positive. Negative to them is only a marker for comparison.
Quote of the Day: Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never - yes, never - sell yourself short. - David J. Schwartz
Maybe we could insert the word "core" in between the word "developed" and "belief" in the second last line of the quote above
I almost said that I disagree with this quote too. The thing is that I don't know what situation it was wrote under. It could mean many things depending on who reads it.
"Discipline yourself to do what you know is right and important." This could mean slave away and become a martyr doing for others. Or it could mean take the time to take care of your own mental and physical health also. (together if necessary) I think the latter leads more to self esteem and personal satisfaction than the first.
A person needs to find time for their own needs or certain unwanted emotions invite themselves in. This can be devastating to some one trying to stave off "sad"
Quote of the Day: Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction. - Brian Tracy
