Life is all about the little things. Sometimes we just need to take a moment to ourselves and remember what is important and just slow down. I have compiled many simple 'little' sayings and quotes over the years and I always seem to go back to this page when my wheels are spinning out of control and simply need to just relax.

Meditation:

To still your mind, sit down each day, close your eyes, and just watch your thoughts.

Don’t resist the thoughts, but just watch them come into your mind.

As you watch each thought, it will disappear.

Practice this each day and you will get better and better.

You will find your mind will be without thoughts for 5 seconds, and then 10 seconds, and then 20.

I Promise Myself:

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.

To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

Slow down everyone your moving too fast.

There is no outside force that can affect your life unless you give that force power with your thoughts.

The greatest power is within you.

We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts, we make our world.

Change = evolution of life. It’s a good thing!

Get into the feeling of having what you want now, and keep feeling that.

It will be the most wonderful feeling in the world.

As you practice this feeling, it will get stronger and stronger.

You will begin to feel that you already have what you want.

When you do this, the law must respond.

Never use the word ‘if’, always use the word ‘WHEN’.

What you do everyday matters more than what you do once in a while.

It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.

Action and feeling go together.

I work on being calmer, more balanced, less reactive, more compassionate, more honest with myself, and measurably kind to others every day. When I feel I’ve achieved any of those in a given day, feeling happy is usually the outcome.

Feeling healthy and feeling good about yourself is not a luxury - It's an absolute necessity.

If you keep your eyes on the future, you can’t see the present.

Great passions are for the great of soul, and great events can be seen only by those who are on level with them.

It is by teaching your intellect to become quiet - when you want it to be quiet - that you can become happier, more present for others, and more open to the joy of the present moment.

In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed:

They must be fit for it.

They must not do too much of it.

and they must have a sense of success in it.

I have plenty of time for the things that are important to me.

The important and only vital question is, how much greater, finer, am I than I was yesterday?

Have I fulfilled my possibilities, made the most of my potentialities?

The least strained and most natural ways of the soul are the most beautiful;

the best occupations are the least forced.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.

The habit of being happy enables one to be freed, or largely freed, from the dominance of outward conditions.

Our life is the creation of our mind.
