Changing Your Thoughts Will Change Your Life
If you think you can’t change an unwanted situation,
change your thoughts about it
By consciously choosing to see it as an
Opportunity and a blessing in disguise
Which will shift your attitude towards it
To being positive and grateful and then
the situation will certainly change for the better.
—Yeshe Gyamtso
It’s Later Than You Think
Somewhere in a desolate remote part of China lies the crumbled ruins of an ancient emperor’s palace and capital city.
Nothing remains standing among miles of ruins except for one tall stone pillar in the middle of the palace courtyard.
Carved into each of the four sides of this monument is nothing about the vanished emperor, his greatness or his victorious battles, as one might expect.
In single lines of ancient Chinese language characters is this inscription, carved deep into the stone on all four sides—-
“It is later than you think…”
—Chinmayan
“We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her light.”
— Earl Nightingale
“We all know that very big amazing things wait for us in all areas of life if we are brave enough to reach for them.” —Mae Chevrette
IN DIFFICULT TIMES, MOVE FORWARD IN SMALL STEPS
My grandmother once gave me a tip:
In difficult times, you move forward in small steps.
Do what you have to do, but little by little.
Don't think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow.
Wash the dishes.
Remove the dust.
Write a letter.
Make a soup.
You see?
You are advancing step by step.
Take a step and stop.
Rest a little.
Praise yourself.
Take another step.
Then another.
You won't notice, but your steps will grow more and more.
And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying.
