The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony.

“This is the most important day in your life because this is the day that you are now living.

If your life is headed in an undesirable direction this is the day you can change it. If there are dreams you are longing to fulfill, this is the day you can follow them.

this day, right now, is the day when you can put to use all the knowledge, experience and wisdom you’ve accumulated. On this very day you can do things you’ve been meaning to do and connect with the people you’ve been meaning to see.

On this day, you have a world full of choices. On this day, there are more possibilities than before.

Of all the days you’ve ever lived, and of all the days to come, this is the one special day that now matters the most. For it is on this very day that you can now think and speak and act and love and live.

Give yourself a quiet, peaceful moment, and grasp the immense value that is now yours on this very day. Then step forward and fill it with beautiful life.”

“If, at some point, your day gets pushed in a negative direction, it doesn’t have to stay that way. You can quickly and completely recover.

The distractions and disruptions will surely come along yet you do not have to let any of the ruin your whole day.

There’s never any need to wait until tomorrow to make a fresh start Instead, you can choose to immediately let go of whatever has thrown you off course.

You can decide to begin moving forward again right away. keep in mind that the number of times you fall is not nearly as important as how quickly you get back up.

Don’t allow an isolated frustration, disappointment or change in plans to turn into a whole days worth of negative momentum. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you can be moving forward.

recover quickly, get back up and get going again will be able to hold you back for long.”

When you were very young you developed an astounding number of new skills in a short period of time. You quickly worked your way from a helpless infant into a capable and knowledgeable young person.

How were you able to make such rapid progress? One big reason why you woved ahead so wuickly was because you weren’t worried about making mistakes.

Certainly you did make your share of mistakes you fell down while learning to walk, and used the wrong words while learning to talk.

And yet, you persisted, undeterred by your past errors and unimpeded by the prospect of more mistakes. you had an unshakable faith that you would eventually get it right and indeed you did.

When your focus is only on avoiding mistake you avoid achievement as well. Being constantly worried about getting it wrong prevent you from getting it right.

Choose to learn one more important lesson from the rapid progress you achieved as a child. banish worry and dount from your efforts and see how very much more quickly you moved forward.

Well hi everyone,

I am kind of sad today. Well this Sunday I weighed in at 163 which is awesome, but later that day I went out to eat and that one treat has my scale MAD!!! I got on the scale the next day and is showed 165. I am so mad!!! Now I got my game plan together to get back on track for these past few days and guess what??? My scale has not showed any movement yet!! So I am feeling a little defeated because I was working hard to get the scale to move in the right direction and to have 1 little treat for dinner causes a set back, which just sucks!! I am sorry to whin….. I am just having a pity party right now. I am not kidding I just had a bowl of ice cream and a NS granola bar too. Dh and told me to get a hold of myself and refocus right after I finished up my pity party dessert.
Tomorrow is supposed to be my day off from exercise and I really need it because my body is starting to feel very fatigue from exercising 5 days straight. But on the other hand I feel bad to take a day off due to the damage I caused to my scale. But a girl has got to rest too before i cause injury to myself too. So, with that in mind I will take that day off to get my body a time to rest and I will be back on Friday to work this excess weight OFF!! I want to see 160 NOW!! I also guess I need to learn a little patience with myself too. Are any of you going through this too? What do you do to get yourself back on track again? I would love to know. Sometimes it helps to hear how others deal with their road blocks and frustrations too.

At any rate I found this wonderful quote at work and I thought to share it with you all too just incase you all are going through the same issues I am.

Enjoy :)

You will never solve your problems by getting other people to change. the was to move beyond whatever is holding you back is to make positive changes within yourself.

The problem is not the particular situation you are in. the problem is the wasy you interpret and relate to that situation.

the problem is not the way you are treated by others. the problem is the way you allow the actions of others affect you.

the problem is not what has happened in the past. the problem is that you’re letting it continue to hold you back.

Take complete responsibility for a problem and suddenly you are ninety percent of the distance toward solving it. For when you truly take responsibility you gain real and powerful control.

Fully accept that it is up to you to get where you choose to go and you’ll find everything necessary to make it so.

 ”Those who achive are those who give. The greatest leaders who are most devoted to service.

Every encounter, every challenge, every relationship, every situation is an opportunity to give of yourself. Each day brings with it new ways to create value for the people around you.

Think of the individuals you most sincerely admire. You’ll see that they all make it a habit to give of themselves to life. It is not always easy to give of yourself. It takes discipline, commitment, creativity, humility, preparation, effort and resilience.

What brings is true fullfillment. Give you best to each moment, and you will fill the world with rich meaning. Do the work make the commitment and discover all the good and valuable things you have to give. Make a gift of who you are and be amazed at what you become.”

Success

“Every one of us, unconsciously, works out a personal philosophy of life, by which we are guided, inspired, and corrected, as time goes on. It is this philosophy by which we measure out our days, and by which we advertise to all about us the man, or woman, that we are. . . . It takes but a brief time to scent the life philosophy of anyone. It is defined in the conversation, in the look of the eye, and in the general mien of the person. It has no hiding place. It’s like the perfume of the flower — unseen, but known almost instantly. It is the possession of the successful, and the happy. And it can be greatly embellished by the absorption of ideas and experiences of the useful of this earth.”

-George Matthew Adams

“Free will and determinism are like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism. The way you play your hand is free will.”

-Norman Cousins

This quote is for those who are struggling with their weight loss goals or just with anything life is putting in their way. I know my struggle is with my weight and trying to get back to my goal weight of 160. I am five pounds away now for the past two weeks and I am getting impatient with myself. But I know that it is my fault for the slow weight loss and I can not blam anyone or anything. So this week I will start off with a clean slate and a clear mind. I will get it off and I will not put any obstacle in my way or in my mouth. lol :)

Have a great week!!!

Hi my losin’ friends,

I know it is late today, but is never too late for some true heart warming motivation. I just could not rest tonight until I share this quote with you all.

Enjoy,

Natasha

“It takes a little courage, and a little self-control. And some grim determination, If you want to reach the goal. It takes a great deal of striving, and a firm and stern-set chin. No matter what the battle, if you really want to win, there’s no easy path to glory. There is no road to fame. Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But its prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit; For a rugged disposition that will not quit.”
