[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

 

"Work is a reward, not a punishment." If you enjoy your work, you also enjoy what comes with it, such as peace of mind, enjoyment and fulfillment. If you don't enjoy your work, then days are tedious and each one drags by. The truth is, you'll never achieve pure happiness unless you like what you do. Your fulfillment is in direct proportion to the amount of pleasure you derive from daily tasks. If you truly despise your job, stop punishing yourself and do something about it. The rewards you feel from doing what you want to do are priceless. You only live once and there is no reason I can think of not to enjoy it! ©Jane Powell   I can only be me Stop trying to be someone else's idea of perfect. Be your imperfectly perfect self. Be YOU. When they laugh at you for being different, laugh back at them for being the same. Judy Garland once said, "Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else." Live by this statement. There is no such thing as living in someone else's shoes. The only shoes you can occupy are your own. If you aren't being yourself, you aren't truly living – you're merely existing.     Your world is a mirror   Your judgments about other people say more about you than they do about the people you're judging. The reason you can detect the weaknesses and insecurities of others is because you have experienced those same weaknesses and insecurities.   Similarly, the reason you're able to see beauty in others is because that beauty lives in you as well. The positive possibilities you see for others are, in many ways, your possibilities too.   It's very helpful to think of the world outside of you as a mirror. Whatever you see beyond you in some way reflects what is inside you.   The most powerful and effective way to improve the world around you, is to improve yourself. The best way to bring real value into your life, is to create real value for others.   What you admire and appreciate and support in others, grows stronger within you as well. When you seek to understand, you will be understood, and when you listen thoughtfully, you will be heard.   Your world is a mirror, so choose each day to show it your best, most loving and supportive face. And you'll be delighted with the face you see looking back at you.   Ralph Marston     - Dear Readers, " Morning Coffee " is a labor of love and meant to be shared with others to spread encouragement and inspiration.
