PATIENCE

There are things in life that require more time than others. Time to blossom, to develop, to grow, to mature… And if we don’t learn the art of patience, by allowing life to follow its natural course, chances are that we will continue to force and resist the natural flow of things, inflicting a lot of unnecessary pain onto ourselves and onto those around us.

Here are some inspiring quotes on patience, quotes that will make you rethink the way you live your life, and hopefully bring a lot more peace into your life.

1. “Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your

10 Things Happy People Understand pt2

6. They show up for life
Happy people are present in every aspect of their lives. They will not be on their phones when having lunch with you. They give activities and people their full attention. They understand that showing up and being present is a major part of being alive. They refuse to let their lives pass them by because they were too busy looking at a screen.

They show up. They listen. They pay attention. Happy people make everyone feel like they were heard.

7. They don’t have self limiting beliefs
Happy people understand that where they are in life is largely because of what they believe is possible for themselves. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood we lose the ability to dream big. Happy people have held on to those dreams.

They believe that they are enough. They are smart enough. They are pretty enough. They are enough to fulfill the dreams that lie within them.

The truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you’re

10 Things Happy People Understand pt 1

All of us have been around people who are genuinely happy. Happiness I have found, is not something that always comes naturally. Actually, it takes work. It requires us to deliberately and consistently take stock of our lives.

There are ten characteristics that seem universal to happy people. It is a list that I look over often when I find myself struggling with a situation. It helps me to realize that happiness really is a state of mind. We must train our minds towards happiness.

1. They are comfortable with uncertainty
Happy people understand that uncertainty is a part of life. They cannot always control what the next chapter of life will bring, but they can learn to be comfortable with it.

Why Do We Get Hiccups?

Hiccups are so common in our lives that we hardly wonder as to why we get them. It seems like they come and go at their own will. Hence, we don’t give it much of a thought.

However, most of us have noticed that hiccups occur when we try to eat or drink something too fast. This happens to be the most common cause of hiccups. It is because the muscles that help us breathe are located between the ribs and diaphragm.

When we eat or drink something in a hurry, our stomach becomes irritated and

Do No Limit Yourself

Do Not Limit Yourself By  Catherine Pulsifer
My Grandmother was always encouraging me to set goals and work hard to achieve them. She would tell me not to be a follower and not to set limits on what I could achieve. She truly believed that there were no limits that you could achieve whatever you wanted. She once told me the following story about a radish and a milk bottle, it was a story that I have never forgotten.

A Farmer's Lesson In Life
A farmer won a first prize at the country fair for his huge radish that was the exact shape and size of a quart of milk bottle. Many were curious as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle.
