A Little Saturday Morning Pick-Me-Up
5 quotes to brighten up your day
Sometimes, the best things don’t need an introduction. They do all the talking themselves.
So, here goes.
Here are five quotes to brighten up your day.
1. “You can't be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.” - Wayne Dyer
My wish is that you’re waking up today happy to be the person that you are. Because, as Dr. Seuss so wonderfully said:
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
2. “Practice turning people into trees”
Ram Dass then went on to add:
“When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree.
The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.”
3. “Nothing is perfect”
Even Stephen Hawking said so: “One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn't exist. Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.”
What a relief!
4. “Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it'll always get you the right ones.” - John Lennon
So grab the ones you love, let the others gently go, and go and create magic together.
Life is just too short not to have a little bit of fun (or a lot!)
“Get in the arena - get your ass kicked!”
“I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked.
We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can't have both.” - Brene Brown
So choose courage, it’s more fun.
That’s it from me. I’ll see you again next Saturday.
Have an epic day!
