There’s a four lettered word
As offensive as any
It holds back the few
Puts a stop to the many.
You can’t climb that mountain
You can’t cross the sea
You can’t become anything you want to be.
He can’t hit a century
They can’t find a cure.
She can’t think about leaving or searching for more.
Because Can’t is a word with a habit of stopping
The ebb and the flow of ideas
It keeps dropping
itself where we know in our hearts it’s not needed
And saying “don’t go” when we could have succeeded.
But those four little letters
That end with a T
They can change in an instant
When shortened to three.
We can take off the T
We can do it today
We can move forward not back
We can find our own way.
We can build we can run
We can follow the sun
We can push we can pull
We can say I’m someone
Who refuses to believe
That life can’t be better
With the removal of one
Insignificant letter.

I want you to see what it looks like when someone follows their dreams even though everyone else tells them it’s impossible. You can do anything you want to. It’s not the broken dreams that break us. It’s the ones we didn’t dare to dream.

positive-notes:

As you are right now you are 100% capable of achieving anything you put your mind to. Nobody cares what is holding you back. Nobody cares about the excuses you can make. Everything you have ever wanted is waiting for you right now. There are so many wonderful things to love in this world. Look around right now, take the time to really stop and look around. Think about all the beautiful and inspiring things that surround you. Do this every day so your mood is so high you a literally flying out the door. Think of the all the places you have to explore, things to see, people to meet, opportunities to fulfil, lessons to learn and mistakes to learn even more from. Everyday is such a blessing. Every day we can create something new. Everyday we can open up our hearts, minds and souls and fill them with the beautiful things that make us happy. Can you just feel this passion for living each day as a whole new life. Because I can. I can, and it is the most wonderful feeling I have ever felt. 

positive-notes:

Don’t listen to your negative inner voice. It has no place in your mind. It does not need to exist. Replace it with positive good thoughts. If you find yourself thinking negatively about something replace it with the exact opposite. You will miss out on so many opportunities if you always doubt yourself. Don’t worry about what other people are doing or what they think of you. Chances are they’re not even the slightest bit concerned of what you are doing - they have their own agenda. Stick up for yourself. Voice your opinions. Follow your dreams and your passions. Walk down your own path or inspiration. Step out of your comfort zone. If you find yourself doubting something just do it anyway, I’m sure the reward will make it worth your while. You can’t grow if you’re not willing to open yourself up to new experiences. Help other people be confident. Encourage and help others - you will show true leadership qualities. Everyday you wake up look in the mirror. Tell yourself positive things. Be optimistic about the day - think good thoughts. Thank the world for the wonderful opportunities available to you to you. Wether it is something large or something small do it with enthusiasm and enjoy the rewards.

“It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.”

“Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.”

“When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old.”

You may know Mark Twain for some of his very popular books like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He was a writer and also a humorist, satirist and lecturer.

Twain is known for his many – and often funny – quotes. Here are a few of my favourite tips from him.

1. Approve of yourself.

“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”

If you don’t approve of yourself, of your behaviour and actions then you’ll probably walk around most of the day with a sort of uncomfortable feeling. If you, on the other hand, approve of yourself then you tend to become relaxed and gain inner freedom to do more of what you really want.

This can, in a related way, be a big obstacle in personal growth. You may have all the right tools to grow in some way but you feel an inner resistance. You can’t get there.

There is always a positive lesson to learn when dealing with hardship . Today I learned that when going through a tough time we are in control and can choose the effect it has on us and how we feel about it. Today I chose to not be affected by the bad things. I chose to remain strong and stay positive. I chose to learn from ALL my experiences whether good or bad. Today when facing misfortune. I chose to be HAPPY.

“If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results.” ~Jack Dixon

Living without flexibility in the way we act and see the world leaves us at a severe disadvantage.

I always wanted to be one of those people with incredible drive. The kind of people who don’t take no for an answer. As I became more and more like my ideal, I learned that trying to control everything just doesn’t pan out in the long run.

Real power comes from flexibility, not rigidity. Let me explain.

This fact is well known in the martial arts. Have you ever heard of Jiu Jitsu? It’s based entirely around reacting to your opponent. You use their force against them. Rather than facing them head on, you react to your opponent in a way that brings about the best result. Dealing with life is a lot like that.

No matter who you are, you’ll have a lot of things happen to you. Some will be good, and some will be bad. The sensei of life knows that flexibility in thinking and action is what brings true happiness. After all, the only constant in life is change.

Goals are good, but trying to constantly force your will is not only exhausting, but excruciatingly futile.

We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds — the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

I’m on a mission to cleanse out my life

to cleanse out all bad and negative thoughts

to look at tomorrow as a bright new day and to let the worries of yesterday diminish at the wakening of the new day sun

I’m on a mission to surround myself with positive influence even if it means letting go of concrete elements of my life (friends, memories)

I hope to create a positive enviromenment for myself, inside and out, through different methods

that means being aware of everything that I do and realize what is good for me in the whole and what isn’t

When you feel stuck, ensnared, entangled, and embroiled, you have a choice. You can choose to see the magic and wonder or you can choose to focus on the problems. You will always get more of what you think about.
