Optimism can Improve Your Ability to See the World in Brighter Colors

Motivation & Environment

Oftentimes, life is very difficult, with no roller coaster and no fun. I mean it! The adversities of life sap lots of energy out of people, steal their destinies, and leave them in hopeless situations that can’t support optimism, no matter how much it [optimism] may be.

In the midst of it all, where does your allegiance lie? Where do you focus when the chips are down, when you hit low? Does your allegiance lie on positives or negatives—in optimism or pessimism? It might not be wrong to assume that you’re quite unfortunate if your allegiance lies in pessimism, in negativity.

But it might also not be wrong to assume that you have the right to place your allegiance on negatives. Why? Because optimism is not for everybody. Again, why? Because it doesn’t work for everybody.

But, despite the fact that it doesn’t work for everybody, it is equally true…

JOAIVY

Kochani, dzisiaj zapraszamy do wpisu AKCEPTACJA SIEBIE  ☺

Bierz życie z radością, łatwością i odprężeniem, nie tworząc zbędnych problemów. (…) Miej w sobie radość zabawy… bądź żywy, przepełniony życiem. Przeżywaj każdą chwilę tak, jakby była ostatnią. – Osho

Wpis NIEPOWTARZALNOŚĆ (w nim znajdziecie więcej szczegółów) został bardzo dobrze przyjęty, dlatego też wracam do kart Osho, zwłaszcza, że wspominałam, iż jest kilka wspaniałych przypowieści w tym zbiorze, którymi chciałabym się z Wami podzielić w ramach podnoszenia wibracji i dawania wsparcia ☺

Może dodam jeszcze informację z książeczki KARTY PRZEMIANY, że:

Karty przemiany według Osho są pomocą na drodze do odkrywania własnej natury. Każda karta wskazuje sposób otwarcia się na odnowę i zmianę, jakie są dostępne każdemu z nas, jeżeli zdołamy nauczyć się bycia bardziej uważnymi naszego własnego ukrytego potencjału. Każda przypowieść zawiera jakiś bezcenny wgląd prowokujący nas do szukania prawdy we własnym wnętrzu i dokarmiający je darem naszej własnej uważności.

Each of us can leave behind footprints in the sand of time

“Leave just footprints on the sands of time”
http://www.craigsquotes.wordpress.com
http://www.upliftencourageandinspire.wordpress.com

Omar M. Kiam

“Lives of great people remind us we can make our lives sublime and, departing, leave behind footprints in the sand of time.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

There are people who look at themselves and admonish any notion of becoming a person of substance or value, simply because of their circumstances. They adjust their goals and ambitions solely based on the achievements of others in their family or their financial situation. They automatically discount the notion that they too can one day become great, before their lives have really begun.

Greatness isn’t something that’s thrust upon you. You become great by the type of person you are, and what you accomplish during your time here, not by whom your parents are or how much money you’re born into.

You become great by living a sublime existence: by leading a life of high moral and intellectual value. You make your life sublime by inspiring…

Law of Attraction: God created you, but it’s your responsibility to self develop

Law that attracted me!

You’ll need to extend your hand to touch the light

The subject of our relationship with the Creator has been exhausted by various Philosophers and religious preachers, interpreting it in diverse ways. But for me, my curiosity wasn’t quenched until I experienced the emotions in my own heart.
In fact, my spiritual journey started with finding who was ‘Me’ and what God or Universe or Creator meant. The next segment of this journey was to discover the relationship between ‘Me’ and the ‘Creator of Me’. Creation is like a mother giving birth to a baby, a sculptor carving wood into a sculpture or a  painter painting the canvas, and so on and so forth. The closest analogy that resonated with me was the similarity between a mother and the creator. So, when I meditate I believe I am communicating with my Supreme mother, the Nirankar.  In fact, since the concept…
