Mantras



When there is no enemy within, 
the enemies outside cannot hurt you.  
~African Proverb

Mantras
We all have patterns of behavior. We also have patterns of thoughts. These patterns shape how we feel about ourselves and the world we live in. They become our mantras, whether we realize it or not. So what are the words that you are telling yourself every single day?  Are you saying that life is difficult and unfair? If so, guess what?  Life WILL be difficult and unfair. Or are you saying that you are grateful just be alive and for the abundance that surrounds you. If so, guess what?  You will have a life FULL of wonderful things to always be grateful about. The motto that you live your life by has a great meaning to it. It will define the kind of life you have. You might "blame" life for the unfair or negative situations that have happened to you but ultimately, who is to blame?  This is a hard one to admit but the answer is always the person that is looking back at you from the mirror. If you are unhappy, change it. Take a hard look at the messages you tell yourself every single day. If they are not from a place of love and gratefulness, well it's about time that you changed your tune. Remember, being truly grateful for what you have and not concentrating on what you don't have is your key to releasing unhappy thoughts and living a life full of peace, joy and love.
