[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFEE

"Change makes the difference." If you want your life to be something other than it is right now, your only true option is change. Change takes courage and isn't easy, especially if you're feeling safe and secure with the way things are. The hardest part about change is instigating it. This feels risky, but once you take that first step you set things in motion. Today, is your day to take that first step and stop letting life push you around. Today, is the day you take charge of the changes you need to make in your life. Start by identifying small things that you would like to change, just tiny things – things that are holding you back. Make a promise to yourself. Then, stick to that promise and watch yourself change. As you tackle small changes, your confidence will grow. You'll find that bigger changes don't seem insurmountable. And, most important, that change is rewarding and fun, after all! ©Jane Powell   Confidence and Beliefs Believe in yourself through tough times. Believe in your capacity to succeed. Believe that your relationships are worth the effort. Believe that people make mistakes on their way to greatness. Believe that people can be foolish and intelligent, selfish and generous, and stressed and happy all at once. Believe that very few people hurt others on purpose. Believe that there are many roads to what's right. Believe in your intuition, especially when you have to choose between two good paths. Believe that the answers are out there waiting. Believe that life will surprise you again and again. Believe that the journey is the destination. Believe that it's all worth your while Count your blessings instead of your crosses; Count your gains instead of your losses. Count your joys instead of your woes; Count your friends instead of your foes. Count your smiles instead of your tears; Count your courage instead of your fears. Count your full years instead of your lean; Count your kind deeds instead of your mean. Count your health instead of your wealth; Love your neighbor as much as yourself. "Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. We can't always understand them, but we have to trust in them. I know you want to question everything, but sometimes it pays to just have a little faith." Lauren Kate The greatest success You don't have to be famous to be important. You don't have to be a celebrity to be successful. You don't have to live in opulent luxury to be rich. You don't have to be irresponsible to be free. You don't have to be outrageous to be creative. You don't have to be abusive to be impressive. You can be quietly humble and still be amazingly effective. You can be kind and considerate and still have great influence. Just because people don't fall at your feet and worship you, doesn't mean you are a failure. Quiet success is just as sweet as loud, flamboyant success, and usually much more real. Success is what you choose for it to be, not what everyone else says it must be. Live your life in each moment in a way that truly fulfills you and brings value to your world, for that is the greatest success.
