For extra encouragement, here are eight uplifting thoughts which can be used daily to awaken your spirit, and brighten your inner shine.
Our thoughts are like shadows – constantly present, even when they cannot be seen. My own thoughts (which usually occur without being heard or seen) are visible right now. This article is a product of those thoughts. As you already know: Unless they are divulged by their owner, thoughts cannot be experienced by anyone other than the person who is thinking them.
At times we are guided by our thoughts. A good example is thinking up solutions to problems. Another example is gut feelings. The little voices in your head. At other times we control and manipulate our thoughts: We propagate them into various areas of our minds, and we turn them into words and deeds.
But what about confusion? How can we deal with times of uncertainty when our little voices cannot guide us because they are crippled by fear and loss of faith and courage? And the questions keep on coming one by one: Is it okay to be a dreamer? Is there a short cut to happiness? Is my faith enough? How do I discover hope? What is the definition of prayer? Can I trust myself to do what is right for me?
Every person experiences feelings of confusion – some less than others, but we all encounter moments when we need to seek clarity and encouragement. I am gifting you with eight uplifting thoughts that you can indulge in every day, or during times when you need an extra bit of encouragement.
DREAM
Dreaming is the spice of life. It sets the course to action. The bigger the dream you have, the greater the eagerness for a successful outcome. Do not hold back the dream that is in your heart and mind. Dream aloud. Dream shamelessly. Dream as often as you like. Shout it out to the Universe and get what is deservedly yours.
Be a serial dreamer, but remember to prepare to act upon your dreams. Do the good that needs to be done in order for you to make your dreams come true.
LAUGH
Laughter is a tonic for the heart, an emollient for the senses, and glue that binds relationships. Those who laugh together, stay together. Laugh softly or loudly; laugh with passion and even with laughter tears. So long as you laugh WITH people, and not AT people, it is all good.
Laughter is a happiness hack. The more you practice laughing and enjoying the occurrences and moments that induce laughter, the happier you will become.
PLAY
Release your inner child to come out and play. Give work a break and make time for life’s pleasures of any size. Even if you love and adore your work, play is still a necessary indulgence to destress and rejuvenate yourself.
BELIEVE IN YOUR HIGHER SELF
Faith sets you onto the path of mastery. When you believe in your capabilities, you seek to understand your beliefs. Subsequently, you gain an ambitious interest in what you believe in, and you follow this up with action. You start to turn your beliefs into reality. You want to see for yourself what it is that you believe. And so, you make your beliefs come to fruition and you discover courage along the way.
When you believe wholeheartedly in yourself, you invoke courage – the essence of your higher self – to take over. Faith paired with action and courage (engaging with your higher self) gets you to the realization and manifestation of your dreams.
HOPE
Against all odds, hope for better days and rewarding opportunities to come to you. Hope is the essential fabric of greater outcome. It is the fuel that keeps us on the journey to accomplishment and success. Hope is enterprise: the get-up-and-go factor of life. It is a positivity magnet attracting favorable results to our endeavors.
Use hope to see you through the dark times because it is a light that illuminates the way to clarity. Your greatest and darkest challenges will never outlive or outshine hope.
AdvertisementsPRAY
Prayer is a conversation with God / the Universe / Higher Power (whatever good power you believe in). It is moments of complete openness and vulnerability with your higher power that lead you to becoming one with your soul, the deepest part of your being. This is the definition of prayer.
Prayer diminishes the burdens of the soul. It replenishes positive self-esteem, which in turn ignites the warrior within. No fight through life is won in the absence of profound inner strength obtained through prayer.
TRUST YOURSELF
Trust yourself to discover and use your latent abilities. You are far more capable than you know. Your creative self is calling for you to believe in the power of ‘I CAN’. Of all human life characteristics, trust in one’s self is the most courageous advantage. Through personal trust, our dreams, pleasures, beliefs, hopes and prayers are nourished and fortified.
Possessing self-love (as you do) means that you will always have your best interests at heart, even when you stumble into moments of doubt. Doubting is normal. As humans we all experience doubt. But trusting ourselves to do what is right at the moment for the moment, is of great importance. Trust in ourselves and our own abilities is what leads us to triumph over our doubts.
Let your light radiate from within and be seen everywhere you go.
People who shine do so no matter what they experience in their own lives. Their light can be seen even in the darkest of times. It is a natural aura illuminating their presence, and exuding the intensity of their love, calmness and humility. This is who you are: a wonderful shining example of an exemplary human being.
Be humble. But never shy away from being your best, feeling your best, and doing your best. You are light, and light is you. TMLM
