We’re often so hard on ourselves. But remember, everybody has a chapter they don’t read out loud. Take a moment. Sit back. Marvel at your life; at the mistakes that gave you wisdom, at the suffering that gave you strength. Despite everything, you still move forward, be proud of this. Continue to endure. Continue to persevere. And remember, no matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise again.

Putting a smile on someone’s face is a noble act of kindness.
“My husband and I were shopping in a store and noticed this really old lady, with only a few bits in her trolley, kept looking at all of the lovely cakes in the freezers; walking away and then going back. Suddenly my husband went up to her and said, “Merry Christmas darling, our treat,” and gave her £20. She was gobsmacked, with tears in her eyes. The £20 helped her more than we needed it.”

To protect your energy… It’s okay to cancel a commitment. It’s okay to not answer a call. It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to want to be alone. It’s okay to take a day off. It’s okay to do nothing. It’s okay to speak up, and it’s okay to let go.

Be an Encourager. The world has plenty of critics already.
Two fundamental questions that many people ponder are “What should I do when life is hard?” and “What should I do when I feel lonely?” The simple answer can come when you take a close, sincere look at yourself and your life. To understand the nature of these questions, ask yourself if you’ve ever felt love for yourself? If you love who you are? The existence of love is in these questions. Most unhappy people don’t love themselves for the person they are in the present moment, and might not love themselves in the future. So first to overcome struggles when life is hard or when you feel lonely, you have to love yourself. You have to live with unconditional love for yourself and spread it.

~Louise Hay

I have decided to stop saying yes to people and situations that don’t support my well-being. Instead, I will say yes to my happiness, and yes to my growth, and yes to all the people and things that inspire me to be authentic and whole, while at the same time accepting me just as I am. My yes, from here on out, is my pledge to live honestly, my commitment to love myself fiercely, and my cry to create my best life possible. YES!
