Theresa’s Hangout

Me and My Girls

Today I am blogging at the Wetnoodleposse site about things you like to do but never seem to find the time for. When was the last time you painted a picture or danced in the rain?  

Come join the fun and leave a comment!

No matter what you want to achieve in life, whether it seems the impossible or unattainable, never give up hope. Never stop dreaming. And never allow yourself to feel like a failure if at first you do not succeed. This is why the journey is the most important part…not the destination. Try to live in the moment as you strive for peace and joy or whatever it is that you want from life. Don’t fight your way to the top…live, love and laugh your way through each day. Don’t worry, be happy. Sounds way too simple…because it is. Will worrying help you succeed? Will worrying about tomorrow change anything? No. Worrying will give you gray hairs and ulcers. Not worrying doesn’t mean you don’t do everything in your power to make things right. Not worrying doesn’t mean you don’t take action when needed. Do what you must, what you can in any given situation, but that’s all you can do. If you insert foot in mouth and it’s too late to take it back you can apologize and then you must LET IT GO! Forgive others and mostly always forgive yourself.  

Remember The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz: Be impeccable with your word (say what you mean); Don’t take anything personally (nothing others do is because of you); Don’t make assumptions (ask questions and communicate); Always do your best.

“Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.”  –Marianne Williamson

Any advice you would like to share for the new year?
