What type of person are you? Do bad things always seem to happen to you or do you sometimes come across challenges that you just need to deal with? Do you feel sorry for yourself or are you grateful for the things you have?
While we may not be able to control what happens in our lives, we certainly can control how we deal with them. Our attitudes then affect outcomes and those around us. Louise L. Hay is a New York Times Best Selling author who overcame her own struggles with abuse as a child, in her marriage and then cancer using the power of her thoughts. She has empowered millions by her inspirational words that help us affirm the positive in life. She points out that happiness and strength come from within and the mind can make miracles happen.
“Every thought we think is creating our future.”
“Your mind is a tool you can choose to use any way you wish.”
“You are not a helpless victim of your own thoughts, but rather a master of your own mind.”
“No matter what the problem is, our experiences are just outer effects of inner thoughts.”
“Make joy and happiness the center of your world.”
The more grateful you are, the more you get to be grateful about. It’s that simple.”
“Think thoughts that make you feel good, make choices that make you feel good, and take actions that make you feel good.”
“I say “Out” to every negative thought that comes to my mind. No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it.”
“I will not be distracted by noise, chatter, or setbacks. Patience, commitment, grace, and purpose will guide me.”
“You’ve been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”
~Louise L. Hay
I challenge you to do something that I practice every single night. It takes but a minute, but is so powerful in bringing me so much peace and calm before drifting off to sleep.
As you lay in bed tonight tonight, say meaningful prayers for those who have no control over events in their lives such as the poor people in Nepal struggling with the afatermath of the earthquake. Follow this with all you have to be grateful for and the people who you love and who love you– with a smile. Yes, you must smile:) Then empower yourself with the wise words of Louise L. Hay, or your own, and be the person you want and deserve to be.
