Make the best of everything




It's easy to sing in the sunshine.
To support a winning team.
When conditions are right, and life seems to flow easily -
this is the time for gratitude and service.
A time to strengthen good karma.

When times are tough.
And others are less than encouraging -
When the rain is falling and the skies are grey -
This is really your time to shine.
To discover all that you already have inside of yourself.

It won't necessarily be easy or fun,
But you'll reap the benefits of inner strength and fortitude.
And peace is just around the corner, friend.

It really is about making the best of everything.
Not necessarily having the best of everything. ❀

Frame of heart

                                           articles.ofregister.com








‎24/7/365 is a lot of time with the wrong person, yet never enough when the match is made in heaven! ❤


If you apply this principle to other areas of your life, like your job, it becomes clear that
your frame of mind sets the frame of life experience!

“Get busy living, or get busy dying.” Shawshank Redemption

Choice. We may not feel the empowerment when we are engulfed in the wreckage of a tangled life, but it is there. Despite the most desperate of situations, you can choose your reality - your thoughts, feelings, perception.




“Everything can be taken from a man but the last of the human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” - Dr. Viktor E. Frankl




I remember struggling with purpose in my life, then reading a book called “Man’s search for meaning” by Dr Viktor Frankl. If the above quote doesn’t resonate well with you, I recommend reading it - it is a game changer - the game in your mind. When your mind is calm, it’s irrelevant that the world is spinning out of control. You can only steer things you have control over.




Release your grasp on the steering wheel of life and open your mind to peace.




“The meaning of our existence is not invented by ourselves, but rather detected.” – Dr. Viktor E. Frankl

People create distinctions out of their own minds

In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west. People create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.  Buddha 




 People can create lots of boundaries, many shades of separation and distinction. Many people create these little boxes of'perfection' in their lives, of right and wrong, good and bad, their way or the highway. 


We all like to think that we are right, that we've realized the true path, the correct way to live and think. The proper way to handle situations and treat other people. 


 The criminal justice system is a perfect example of an entity doling out decisions based on a pre set value system of right/wrong, good/bad, breaking mandated laws (those laws which are deemed to be fair and just according to a group of individuals).


 Airplanes would have difficulty safely navigating the open skies without compass direction, and the streets wouldn't be as safe without legal authority enforcing (deemed) wrong behavior. 


Yet, an artist or composer wouldn't be able to create an outstanding masterpiece if his or her mind was caught up in the 'separation' existence of reality. 




A Mother can offer her child the hope of a boundless future with limitless vision.




Your outlook, your inner reality, is your choice - your belief, your creation!
