Inspiration for the Day... Happy Wednesday Everyone!

•   “Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” ~ John  Miller~
• "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."  ~Victor Frankl~
• ‎"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. Fear of the unknown is our greatest fear. Many of us would enter a tiger's lair before we would enter a dark cave. While caution is a useful instinct, we lose many opportunities and much of the adventure of life if we fail to support the curious explorer within us." ~Joseph Campbell~
•  "We often hesitate to follow our intuition out of fear. Most usually, we are afraid of the changes in our own life that our actions will bring. Intuitive guidance, however, is all about change. It is energetic data ripe with the potential to influence the rest of the world. To fear change but to crave intuitive clarity is like fearing the cold, dark night while pouring water on the fire that lights your cave. An insight the size of a mustard seed is powerful enough to bring down a mountain-sized illusion that may be holding our lives together. Truth strikes without mercy. We fear our intuitions because we fear the transformational power within our revelations."  ~Caroline Myss~
• "Be impeccable with your word! Don't take anything personally! Dont make assumptions! Always do your best!" ~Quotes from the book, "The Four Agreements"~
•  "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." ~Melody Beattie~
•  "A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her." ~David Brinkley~
•  “The difference between school and life?  In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.” ~Tom Bodett~
•  “Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.”  ~Mary Anne Radmacher~

The Optimist Creed by Christian D. Larson

         I promise myself...

• To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
  
• To talk health, happiness, & prosperity to every person I meet.
•  To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
•  To look at the sunny side of everything & make my optimism come true.
• To think only of the best, to work only for the best, & to expect only the best.
•  To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
•  To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
• To wear a cheerful expression at all times & give a smile to every living creature I meet.
• To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
•   To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, & too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
•  To think well of myself & to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
•  To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!
