"Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest."

~Sri Chinmoy

Just for now....

Choose

Let things be less than perfect.

Smile every chance you get; not because life has been easy, perfect, or exactly as you had anticipated, but because you choose to be happy and grateful for all the good things you do have, and all the problems I know you don’t have.

You must accept the fact that life is not perfect, that people are not perfect, and that you are not perfect. And that’s okay, because the real world doesn’t reward perfection.
It rewards people who get GOOD things done. And the only way to get GOOD things done is to be imperfect 99% of the time.

Mindfulness Makes a Difference

Being present in the moment frees us from the past and saves us from worry about the future. Take a few moments throughout the day to quiet the broken record that can become your thoughts and disrupt your peace of mind.

Today's Mindfulness Tip:

We often blind ourselves to beauty simply because it inspires us to go beyond ourselves. Today, find only beauty, especially when your first instinct is to be critical of someone, something, or some opportunity. -Carolyn Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso

Note to Self

I see the goodness in others.

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, “Why is the bride dressed in white?”

“Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life,” her mother tried to explain, keeping it simple.

The child thought about this for a moment, then said, “So why’s the groom wearing black?”
