Seven Cardinal Rules In LIFE - Stephan Covey

Make PEACE with your past so it doesn't spoil your present. Your past does not define your future - your actions and beliefs do.
What others THINK of you is none of your business. It's how much you value yourself.
Time HEALS almost everything, give time, time. Pain will be less hurting. Scars make us who we are; they explain our life and why we are the way we are. They challenge us and force us to be stronger.
No one is the reason for your own HAPPINESS except yourself. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.
Don't COMPARE your life with others, you have no idea what their journey is all about. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we would grab ours back as fast as we could.
Stop THINKING too much, it's alright not to know all the answers. Sometimes there is no answer, not going to be an answer, never has been an answer. That's the answer. Just except it, move on, next!
SMILE you don't own all the problems in the world. A smile can brighten the darkest day and make life more beautiful. It is a potential curve to tun a life around and set everything straight.

What is Authenticity

For me...When you are living authentically, you feel happy and optimistic. You are honest and open and listen to your feelings. You can think for yourself, you are open to change; you can take responsibility, ask for help, and make healthy choices. More importantly, you want to do your best.

Your authentic voice is that quiet, persistent messenger who speaks to your intuition, telling you what is right for you and what you really need.

While it may seem easier to stay in your comfort zone, finding the courage to be who you really are in all areas of your life will help you realize your true potential. To get to your true self, you may have to examine dreams you have forgotten, fears that are holding you back, or beliefs that are not your own.

While there may be some twists and turns along the way, living authentically means that you are able to live by your own personal truth. When you live by who you really are, you find not only freedom and well-being but also the joy of giving your talents to the world.

Finding the truth about who you really are and what is important to you takes honesty and awareness. It exists every day, in the big decisions and small choices you make, in the pursuit of your authentic self.

MY PERSONAL INTENTIONS

The Year Of Enlightenment & New Beginnings

This year marks a special time in our history as we enter a new era of enlightenment. In these transformational times, we will learn to focus on solutions rather than problems; love instead of hate; unity instead of division; togetherness instead of separateness; gratitude instead of want. Many years ago Gandhi said. "Be the change you wish to see in the world". The world will change by us helping and assisting one another. This is an exciting time and I plan to be part of this change happening in the world. This blog will consist of my thoughts as I help to affect the ripple of positive energy in my world.
