Always look on the bright side

I am feeling a little bit frustrated with myself at the moment because it seems I am on the verge of getting my life in order and in a place where I want it to be, but I just can’t seem to pull it all together. It is like the strings I am trying to pull on are made of cooked spaghetti and covered in oil…very slippery! It also doesn’t help that I am in the wallowing phase right now and a solution orientated approach to my frustration and “bluckness” is at least another few days away. On the bright side, at least I can recognise that feeling stressed, frustrated and down will pass and I will be able to get things back on track…eventually J

I have joined a group on Facebook called Love, Light and Fellowship and I am getting a lot out of their posts. I enjoy it because their beliefs and messages are in line with my spiritual journey but I know that absolutely everyone, regardless of their beliefs, could get a heck of a lot out of it. In saying that, I want to share a few pieces with you from this site that I think will remind you (and me!) of how great things really are…

"When you're good to yourself, you're actually being good to everyone around you because when you feel good, you'll only react well to other people. At the same time, it's very easy for you to do things for other people when you know that other people are just an extension of yourself." - Anita Moorjani

The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do. ~Galileo

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. ~Buddha

"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are." ~Marianne Williamson

"If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher." ~Pema Chodron
