Shining Light Yoga: Happiness......

With warmest welcomes and appreciation for showing interest in MY BLOG

This BLOG has been a heartfelt, soulfull, determination to make a wish of mine come true- to put out all the positive, motivational, inspiration, up-lifting, relatable messages, stories, affirmations, quotes, revelations, confessions, and personal struggles that will hopefully touch someone- even if it is just ONE person- and work to make their day a little brighter; their mood more positive; their belief in themselves much stronger; and maybe, just maybe, get that message across that we are all beautiful, worthwhile, lovable, courageous, strong, capable people with so much goodness to offer. My dream is that, as you check in and read some of the blogs or quotes or affirmations- even self-confessions- that you will gain the knowledge; the sincere belief that you are AMAZING just as you are. That you have everything inside you you need to make your own dreams come true. Give up the strive for perfection. There is NO such thing. There is only your best and in doing your best you are free from the need to control; free from your demons; free from feeling empty. Always remember, we are perfect as we are. We are all shining lights or gems that have just become clouded or dusty. Our job is to polish that beautiful gem of the Self within and shine as we were meant to- in all our beauty; in all our strength; in all our amazingness; in all our unique and special differences.

All my love to you all. May you know pure happiness; total confidence; and the sincere belief that you are an amazing human being.

Namaste~

Happiness......

“Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.” ~Leo Tolstoy

If you knew this would be your last day, would you waste time worrying about everything you might not finish on your to-do list?
Would you spend today dwelling on that minor disappointment?
Would you hold a grudge about that fight or misunderstanding?
Would you hesitate to tell the people you love just how much you care?
Would you be hard on yourself for your mistakes, imperfections, or struggles?
If you knew this would be your last day, would you make amends, or make a change, or make a point, or make a difference? Would you do something, or say something, that you’ve been waiting to do or say?
Would you look at something you always see with a new sense of appreciation?
Would you listen to people with a stronger focus, taking in every last word?
Would you say yes to what you really want and no to what you don’t?
Would you give yourself every opportunity to enjoy the people and things you love?
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and then see this day anew. Wipe the slate clean. Take the pressure off. Put a smile on. Today is a new opportunity to be who you want to be and do what you want to do.
