[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

"Life flourishes when you let go of resentment." Resentment is like a parasite. It feeds on you and leaves you weakened by its presence. Its only purpose is to take from you – and take it will. Break free and shake resentment off! There's simply no room in your life for this negative energy. You have so much to do and so many places to go. If you let resentment get in the way you'll never reach your potential. Start by focusing on what you do have, not on what is lacking. Stop fretting about what should have been, and concentrate on what could be. Forgive, forget, and move on. Let go of resentment today and you'll be amazed by all the space it leaves in your life for better things. ©Jane Powell   Let go of those who are already gone. The sad truth is that there are some people who will only be there for you as long as you have something they need. When you no longer serve a purpose to them, they will leave. The good news is, if you tough it out, you'll eventually weed these people out of your life and be left with some great people you can count on. We rarely lose friends and lovers, we just gradually figure out who our real ones are. So when people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you. It doesn't mean they are bad people; it just means that their part in your story is over.     Unmatched joy It is in the living that life gains more and more meaning. It is from the challenges, obstacles, disappointments and persistent efforts that life's achievements gain their value. If you wish to enjoy success, don't seek to shortcut the process. If you wish to be kind, compassionate and helpful to others, don't enable them to shortcut the process. Living well is not the same as living easy and carefree. Being truly rich does not come from being irresponsible, nor does it enable you to avoid responsibility. You can have mountains of money and possessions and still be very poor. Life's real richness is not about what you have, but rather about how much authentic goodness and fulfillment you express. You may indeed find superficial pleasure in many things. Yet what gives true joy and fulfillment to your spirit is what you have earned with integrity and responsibility. It gains you nothing to have everything if you have not put your effort and commitment into it. Step up, take full responsibility for creating real value in your world, and experience the unmatched joy of making a difference.  Ralph Marston - Dear Readers, " Morning Coffee " is a labor of love and meant to be shared with others to spread encouragement and inspiration.
