Master thy self


Rise and Shine!,

I had a lovely weekend and it is my sincere hope that yours was good as well.

I just have a couple of quotes that I received that got me thinking about how in life we always have a choice in our reactions. Often times, when we are disappointed we take that as our cue to be sad, grumpy or just plain unpleasant to be around.

So whatever expectations were not met last week or this week, choose to be in a good space anyway and just be aware of your expectations of situations and other people. My brother used to say to me that whatever situation you’re in, the only control you have is not over the other person, but over your own self (Nothing more, nothing less).

Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.
-Henry Ward Beecher

Never succumb to the  temptation of bitterness.
-Martin Luther King Jr.

Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before,
But rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God.
-Ram Dass

#ISawGodToday…

P.S. challenge: try to find something in your day that reminds you that God is in every moment…try this for the…wait for it…WHOLE WEEK! J

Joy, love and being in the moment,

Busie
