These mindfulness quotes have been chosen because they help us to understand the value of stopping for a moment and becoming aware of our lives. There is something magical about awareness. It is like seeing for the first time. Mindfulness opens the door to this. It allows us to appreciate the beauty of the world around us. And to see our place within it.
Asking why positivity matters is a non-starter. I mean, of course it matters. But, it isn’t the whole picture. Only part of it. I want to look at how positivity and happiness gel with each other. To look at positivity from a different angle. I don’t want to diminish its value, in fact, what I’m hoping for is that we will take it to an entirely different level. Step up positivity’s game, with a little bit of help from a friend (ps. that friend is Purpose).Read More
There is a real push to be ‘authentic’ in society at the moment. And yet, society itself is far from it. I can’t help but wonder if we fully grasp what it means to be authentic. I believe being truly authentic is our greatest strength. But, are we seeing true authenticity or just more masking up? A different version of inauthentic behaviour? Do we even know how to be authentic? I’d like to hold the magnifying glass up to authenticity so that we can really understand whether the road we are on is leading us to our freedom or into a different set of boxes.
There is definitely something to be said for healthy competition, but I do believe we also need to understand that it’s more than ok to just do your best. There are many people out there that will flare up like a cobra and tell me how ‘if you’re not first, you’re last’. But, this is not intended to disregard healthy competition. At all! This is more about us as individuals and how we can be way too hard on ourselves. And, a little bit about how we should never make people feel small about their efforts. Wink, wink.
There is something deep within us. We call it Trust, Faith, Knowing or Intuition. It doesn’t matter what we call it, we all have it. This knowing comes from our soul, from the deepest most authentic part of us. It is a voice that struggles to be heard above the thoughts in our heads. It is a way of knowing your purpose and place in this life. But, do we listen to this voice? Do we acknowledge this voice, this knowing?
Be still, and listen. There is a soft, persistent noise in the stillness. A voice in the silence. This may sound contradictory by any reasonable standards, but I want to talk about how the stillness allows us to open up to our inner voice. The voice that has no vocal cords. The voice that is only heard within us. This voice can be both soft and gentle, and loud and obnoxious at the same time. It is the voice who’s message is more valuable than all the others that we place higher value on.
We all know that life comes with highs and lows, but how often do we actually think about the reasons for why that is? How often do we see the value in both the highs and lows? I would like to look at how we can take all the different experiences of our lives and see the value in them. Maybe even find some comfort in them. Instead of always believing that value comes from the highs, let’s look at where we can find value in the lows as well. Better yet, let’s look at where we can find balance between the two.
Nothing in life is achievable if we don’t believe in ourselves, and everything is if we do! If that hasn’t already been said, I’m claiming it! Lol. If you know me you know I love, love, love quotes. I don’t care how cheesy or overdone you think they are; these people have been quoted for a reason! They had the insight and the ability to put it into words that impact us unlike anyone else. And that is why they have been immortalized through these quotes.

They say how you spend your day is how you spend your life. And it’s true! The actions you take every day combine to create the person you are, the things you prioritize, and the values you uphold. When you eat healthily and exercise every day, you become someone who values health. When you set healthy boundaries in your relationships and take the time, with daily self-care, to acknowledge your own needs, you become a person who has the utmost self-respect.
If love really is the answer let’s look at why that might be, and why it isn’t always so easy. I mean, beyond the niceties and the sentiment, the ooh’s and ahh’s of love, what makes it ‘the answer’?
We all want to be loved, but do we realize the significance of giving, or being love ourselves? I believe that love is the answer, but that we need to tune in to what that really means and what role we have to play in the sharing of it. If we want living from a place of love to be easier we have to understand our own role in it.
