Life Flows with Ease

Quote:

To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly. Things, people, or conditions that you thought you needed for your happiness now come to you with no struggle or effort on your part, and you are free to enjoy and appreciate them - while they last. All those things, of course, will still pass away, cycles will come and go, but with dependency gone there is no fear of loss anymore. Life flows with ease. ~ Eckhart Tolle

We cannot be present and run our story-line at the same time.  ~ Pema Chodron

Each time we give away, or let go of, a limiting idea, there is more space for an empowering idea to come to mind. Try thinking: I have value, therefore I can do something of value because I am valuable. ~ Diane Mariechild from Open Mind: Women's Daily Inspiration for Becoming Mindful

I hope this post finds you all well and having a GREAT week.

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference

So far this week for me has been a challenge. As much as we would probably like to be, we are not always in a good mood. Sometimes it is tough to maintain a positive attitude. I don't know what it is, but some days we just wake up on the wrong side of the bed.  Some days are just like that; some weeks are just like that. I'd like to hear from you. What do you do on those days to lift your spirit? What do you do to bring a bit more positivity into your thoughts and words?

Quotes

"We are blessed, and in the sharing of our blessings we are again blessed. May our hearts be open. May we ever be grateful for the gift of life." ~ From Open Mind - Women's Daily Inspiration for Becoming Mindful by Diane Mariechild

Positivity in the New Year

I've been an avid reader for years. I read to relax and I read to learn new things. While in my teens I started to collect quotes from the books I read . . . Many of the early ones I collected have been lost. I began posting quotes on twitter (I've got 2 profiles . . . neither have been active recently; but I will soon use one for this blog).

I was posting quotes that I found inspiring, motivational and inspiring. Things to remind me, that even though the people around me may have a negative attitude or outlook on life, that I can choose to have a positive one.

The Be Positively Inspired page on Facebook is meant to remind me and others to maintain a positive attitude. I love finding new quotes, videos and blog posts to add to the pages. I find a lot of things I'd like to share, this blog is a way to share more of those things and to share them with a wider audience.

I hope that you enjoy. Thank you for reading
