Emotions

Your emotions are part of what lets you know you're alive.  They are part of your body's response system...you know - kind of like your nervous system.  When you react to something, what you feel inside is part of your emotions.  What you feel through your sense of touch is from your nervous system.  They both allow you to respond to stimuli - things that happen to or around you...both naturally.

Sometimes your emotions carry you in directions that aren't necessarily good for you.  You do things based on how you feel and your feelings may be the total opposite of what you need.  At these times it's best to use your time wisely and listen closely to your heart...not just your emotions or what you think might be right.  Your emotions will cause you to act spontaneously at the wrong times.  This could cause irreparable damage to your personal & working relationships and your image.

Never let your emotions lead you without first, listening to your heart and second, thinking with a clear mind.  If your heart is true and your mind is clear...ride the wave and enjoy the feelings.

Heart

Your heart is the strongest muscle in your body.  It pumps the life through you and allows the rest of your body to thrive daily.  Physically, your heart is the keeper of life for your body.  It can survive, even when your mind is far gone.  Your heart allows your body to live, despite the activity of your brain.

In other matters (of the heart), your heart is where your dreams live.  Your heart is where love lives.  Your heart is where possibilities never cease.  Your heart is where courage and faith reside.  Your heart is what connects to your spirit, your truth, and your Creator.

Your heart is what allows you to take big steps to do the things that people think are impossible.  Your heart is what gives you the spiritual fortitude and the physical ability to forgive, be humble, and love.  Love with all your might and share it...that's what you were made for.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful!

Your Heart, Your Emotions, and Your Mind

I recently had a "cyber" conversation with several people about how your heart and mind are always at war with one another.  I believe this to be true on so many levels.  However, it was brought to my attention just how sad life can turn out for so many people due to their way of thinking.  It's amazing to hear what people think of life and love...only to see them play out their on negative ideals through their own lives.

A young lady told me that as you get older, you gain knowledge and your feelings tend to fade.  I must say that I was quite surprised to hear and see her rebuttal.  However, I can totally understand her point of view.  It is true that as a child and young adult we sometimes let our feelings/emotions lead us in the wrong direction.  Nevertheless, your heart and your emotions are different.

Your heart's desire is always what's right and good for your life...naturally.  Your mind works on what it can see, touch, hear, evaluate, or think about...and can change at a moment's notice.  Likewise, your emotions operate on the same wavelength...but considering your heart and your mind.  Your emotions stand as the battleground upon which your heart and mind go to war.  Be weary of who or what you allow to lead you.

It's beautiful to be you!

Forget

Forget about the people who said you weren't good enough.  Forget about the people who said they'd be there, but never were.  Forget about the people who shared their opinions of you with hopes that negativity would bring you down.  Forget about the people who invited you into chaos and harm's way.  Forget about the people who have wronged you.

Forget the incidents, but remember the consequences.  Forget the person who caused the pain, but remember how it felt.  Forget the negative words, thoughts, and feelings that were spoken, but remember the results.  Forget the harmful intentions of others, but remember how their intentions did you no harm.  Forget all about the beginning of any bad thing, but hold onto the ending...the beginning of the good things.

All that you doubt about yourself...forget about it.  All that others doubt and don't support about your dreams...forget about it.  All the negativity that buzzes around you...forget about it.  Strap your dream, your hard work, your dedication, and your faith snug to your back and keep moving forward.  Forget how failure begins and work toward your ending of it in your life...the beginning of your success. 

Your success, your change, your positivity, your attitude, your promise, your greatness...begins in your mind.  Think happy.  Think well.  Think great.  Be happy, well, and greater!

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Remember

Think before you speak.  Think again before you act.  Observe before you make an assumption.  Choose wisely before you decide.  Remember, someone is always watching and listening.

What you do and say means the world to someone...even if you don't know who he/she may be.  You will always be someone's example...be it a good or bad.  Be cognizant of those around you and what they may glean from your presence, words, and actions.  Allow people to see the good in you...the kindness in you.  Your name may be forgotten, but you will be remembered for what you've said and done (or not)...good or bad.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Just Words

No comment you make is just words.  No opinion you give is just words.  No information you share is just words.  No discussion or argument is made of just words.  Nothing you say is just words.

Keep in mind that as you move throughout your day, having new experiences and encounters, nothing you say goes unnoticed.  Despite the fact that people may say words don't hurt me...they do.  Words have power...to destroy and to build.  What you speak will either hurt or help someone.  Be sure that your words are sweet and tender; for you may have to eat them one day.

It's beautiful to be you...simply beautiful.

Wonderful

It's wonderful to know that you've touched someone's life.  It's a wonderful feeling when you learn that you have taught someone how to forgive, how to love, and how to be themselves no matter what.  It's a wonderful feeling to know that you've enriched someone else's life.  It's wonderful to know that you've truly helped someone along this journey of life.  It's wonderful to know that you were truly used as vessel of knowledge, caring, understanding, patience, compassion, and love.

It's beautiful to be you...wondrously beautiful!
