[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

The fewer rules the better." When it comes to the rules you have about how life should be or how other people should behave, the less you have the easier it is to be happy. Why? Because, when you cease to impose unrealistic expectations on people and on life, you not only reduce the likelihood of disappointment, you also let go of unnecessary stresses and false demands. Instead of always trying to channel life, ease up and go with the flow. Enjoy what comes your way. Try your hardest to accept people as they are and try not to force them into your own mold. Celebrate their individual differences. Greet life's surprises with joy and excitement, and you'll end up with a more fulfilling life than was ever written in the rules! ©Jane Powell   Never give up Imagine yourself to be the type of person you want to be , and then be it. You may have to let go of some bad habits and develop some more positive ones, but don't give up - for it is only in trying and persisting that dreams come true. Expect changes to occur, and realize that the power to make those changes comes from within you. Your thoughts and actions , your choices and decisions , and the way you spend your time determine who you are and who you will become. You are capable and worthy of being and doing anything. You just need the discipline and determination to see it through. It won't come instantly , and you may backslide from time to time ,but don't let that deter you. Never give up. Life is an ever - changing process , and nothing is final. Therefore , each moment and every new day is a chance to begin anew.   Barbara Cage     Living your purpose The way to have a full and happy life is to live it every chance you get. The way to get beyond the excuses is to stop believing them and to start living your purpose. Decide to see the obstacles as steps along the path rather than blockades. Let the challenges strengthen you, and let the disappointments inspire you to push more purposefully forward. Whatever the objective, whatever the dream, there is always a way. You can find it and you can live it by thinking and acting from the perspective of purpose. You will never be truly satisfied by superficial trinkets and shallow pleasures. Remind yourself, again and again, to put your energy into what really matters. You deserve much better than to constantly wallow in the distractions. You deserve the exquisite experience of bringing your beautiful, unique purpose to life. Live today, and every day, and your whole life, like you mean it, and like it is the best you can imagine. Because when you do, it is. Ralph Marston   - Dear Readers, " Morning Coffee " is a labor of love and meant to be shared with others to spread encouragement and inspiration.
