Quote of the day: Lao Tzu

“Time is a created thing. To say “I don’t have time”, is like saying, “I don’t want to”. “

___Lao Tzu

🌼This quote has helped me prioritise what’s important to me ever since I first read it. Each time I catch myself saying I don’t have time, I stop and question why not. If it’s so important to me, why don’t I have the time for it? I either end up making the time for it or dropping what ever it was because…well…it is not something I will regret not doing one when I am old.

I also find that people make time for people who are important to them. If they only know you when they want something from you…well I guess you have your answer. The choice is then yours as to what you will do about it.🌼

Quote of the day: Nelson Mandela

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”

___Nelson Mandela

Quote of the day: Seneca

Thankful Tuesday Quote:

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing”

Seneca

🌼I have had a terrible habit of overthinking things. Trying to figure out what is unseen and how it will affect my future. I used to drive myself crazy. I still find myself doing it from time to time. What a way to be ungrateful for what is.

To acknowledge and appreciate that which I already have, and those people who’s love and support I never have to question, is how I am learning to cultivate more inner peace. Those that need to join me on my path will arrive and stay and those that don’t will move on peacefully. It’s their choice as well. I am finding that gratitude is like an elixir. The more I practice it, the richer my life becomes.🌼
