I’m down today….there’s just so much crap going on in the world. I’ve got fears, sorrows, and responsibilities that I don’t like. But what can I do?
1.) If I can’t #change things in my life, I CAN change how I think about those things. So that’s what I’m going to do. Heart-thoughts from the great thinkers can help me with this and maybe you too!
“Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
2.) A crisis is an #opportunity to change!
“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty”. – Winston Churchil
3.) I’m trying to keep my humour too!
“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.” – Herm Albright
4.) But I’ve lived in the wilderness of BC. So here’s my personal #affirmation for you:
Today be a tree. Reach to the sky and draw from your roots. -JCR Click To Tweet
5.) And of course there’s one from my favourite book of wisdom – the NIV Bible:
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8
