Your Thoughts, Words, and Actions Paint Your World
You are responsible for designing and manifesting your world as you want it to be. You are the artist and your world is your canvas.
Sometimes Silence is the Best Answer
Get rid of the need to convince other people that you are right; get rid of your need for other people’s approval. You do not have to defend your beliefs or the way you live to anyone. Don’t get sucked into an argument in order to prove a point.
Control those things that You can Control
You have no control over external circumstances or events, but you do control how you choose to respond to them. Inner peace comes not by trying to manipulate people, circumstances, or events, but by realizing the power that you have within you - the power to choose your thoughts, words, and actions.
Let Them Judge You and Live Your Life Anyway
People will judge you, gossip about you, and misunderstand you. This is common if you live on this earth; it always has been and probably always will be. Every sage who has ever lived has had to deal with the same issues.
Don’t Allow Other People’s Opinions to Confuse You
You have to learn to trust your own opinion and your own thoughts, more than those of other people. If you will get quiet and learn to go within, you will find the answers you seek.
Speak and Listen with Intention
Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you. Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you. Words are important. They are much more than a way of communicating with others; they contain power and energy. In addition, the way that you say something, and the intention behind your words, affect the energy that your words contain.
Would you like you, if you met you?
This is a question that each of us should consider every now and then. Would you like you, if you met you? If the answer is "no," then you should ask yourself, "Why not?"
The Best is Yet to Come!
Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come! The one thing that you can always count on is change. Everything is changing all the time. You never truly know if something will end up being good or bad until some time in the future.
Just Keep Evolving!
Don't allow the opinions of others to hold you back from what you want to be. When you start living your life your way, a lot of people will not like it. It will upset some people and others will actively try to convince you that you are wrong.
Don’t React to Rude People
I have a newsflash for you - you do not have to react to rude, critical, argumentative people. Most of the time, these people are trying to push your buttons and get a reaction from you. They enjoy getting under people's skin and trying to upset them.
