I must first change...

I haven't penned my thoughts for a long time now for the one reason that I was lacking motivation. I have come to the realisation that thoughts have great power, they are like seeds you plant in your mind.

The more you hold onto a particular thought, the more power you invest in it. Positive thoughts give us energy and strength. Negative thoughts rob us of power and make us feel tired and strained.

We are by nature positive. Negativity is the result of faulty thinking. You can change if you want to. You can't control other people, situation or circumstances, but you can control what is going on inside you. It takes time to change and transform those old patterns of thinking.
Be patient with yourself. It starts with a thought..... Today!

There is no greater teacher than one's own practical example. To be really benevolent therefore means that I must first change, then I have the power, the knowledge and the experience of thinking and doing for the ultimate benefit of all.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Listen In

Only when we find the quietness in our own minds can we begin to hear our inner teacher, so that we may receive some in-tuition. Only when we are ready to recognize and value the wisdom that we carry at the core of our being will we turn our attention inwards and 'listen in'. But it's been a long time since we truly listened, so a little practice and patience will be needed. Sit down, be quiet and listen in at some point today and you might be surprised at what you hear. Then do it again tomorrow. All you need to do is remember that you are the listener and not the noise.

Fashion Advice

What color shoes should I get to go with a royal blue knee length dress for posh wedding?

                           

Royal blue looks fabulous with a number of colors. If you want to wear something festive and glitzy since it is a posh wedding look at silver shoes with sparkles or neutral/beige with sparkles. Both colors look good with royal blue.

What color accessories should be worn with a stripe ivory and black dress and fuchsia shoes?

A black or fuchsia bag would look chic with your stripe ivory and black dress and fuchsia shoes. Choose jewelry that flatters your skin tone and hair color. Pearl, metal (silver or gold) or a combination metal & pearl jewelry will look good with your outfit.

Power To Tolerate

You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom so ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self-esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

A Moment Of Solitude

When I start the day with a moment of solitude and contemplation, even the most crowded schedule runs more smoothly.
