Make Others Happy
Do you find it tough to be happy when someone you care about is unhappy? I know the feeling. You want to make others happy and self gets sacrificed in the process.
The nurturer within us wants to fix all the pain in the world—especially that which affects those we love. It’s a noble desire, but today’s inspirational thoughts remind you that you are not responsible for anyone’s happiness but your own.
It’s easier said than done, but you need to let yourself off the hook. Your happiness is the greatest gift you can ever give to the world, yet you cannot hold onto it while chasing something that’s not yours to capture. That something is the happiness of another person.
“Happiness is a direction, not a place.” ~Sydney J. Harris [Keep reading Make Others Happy...]

A Simple Life. A Fulfilled Life. A Happy Life.
How much of your time and energy goes to the pursuit of more? More money, more praise, more technology, more stuff? In much of the modern world, this is the new way of life; but today’s inspirational thoughts encourage you to find joy in simplicity.
As sweet as the moment may be when you hold in your hand something newer, bigger, more; an honest thought reveals that it’s bittersweet at best unless you can truly appreciate the simpler gifts of life.
How long do you enjoy your new phone before you “need” one with better features? [Keep reading Simplicity Fulfilling Life...]

Motivational Life Quotes
Life quotes. I don’t know about you, but I never quite get enough of them. These little snippets of inspiration, motivation and hope stick with me long after I’ve forgotten the details of a favorite book or article.
The quotes on life below are a little different that those you typically find all over the web. Yes, they are motivating, inspiring and down right amazing. But here’s the kicker…There’s not a single quote in this list from Mother Theresa, Buddha, Nelson Madela or Helen Keller. No quotes from Abraham Lincoln, Oprah Winfrey or Wayne Dyer. I love their famous quotes as much as anyone else, but I decided to take a different route to awesomeness.
These life quotes come from amazing bloggers whose abilities to motivate and inspire will surely propel you out of your comfort zone and into the driving seat of your life. [Keep reading life quotes...]

Inspirational Thoughts: Happy Mondays Ahead
We hear Happy Birthday, Happy Friday, happy this, happy that. But it’s rare to hear ‘Happy Monday’ outside of the context of a joke. Why do people hate Mondays?
It’s the start of a new week, a chance to make a fresh start. Yet, it’s a day that’s often met with pessimism or dread. Sure, Monday may mean going back to a busy work week, maybe even at a job you can’t stand; but there’s so much more to see if you’ll adjust your lenses a bit. [Keep reading Inspirational Thoughts...]

Just a few moments ago I finished watching the movie Mao’s Last Dancer. The story was packed with everything that gives life its flavor—love, trials, determination, rebellion, sacrifice, and (of course) dancing. I want to share with you the inspirational message that I’m taking away from this true story.
Inspirational Thoughts On Self Determination
So often we judge our ability to accomplish a goal by how easy or difficult it is, how good or bad we are, how much we know or don’t know, what we need but don’t have, what’s wrong or unfair. Each of these factors matter, but they don’t tell the full story about what’s possible for you. [Keep reading about self determination...]

Inspirational Thoughts on Joy and Happiness
When was the last time you felt so full of joy that you thought you might just burst open, splashing the vibrant colors of your inner world all over everyone and everything within a million miles of you? Was it early this morning when you woke up? Some time last month? 20 years ago?
If you’re like most people, this type of joy hasn’t been a regular part of your life since childhood. But that doesn’t mean it’s too late.
Children use their creativity, imagination and resourcefulness to create magical experiences where none seem to exist. They’re beaming with excitement and radiance, eager for what life will bring next. Why should your world or mine be any less amazing? It shouldn’t! [Keep reading Joy and Happiness...]

Inner Peace: Your Ticket to Paradise
If you’re like most people, you often chase paradise in the form of the perfect job, a better body, more money, a bigger house, the perfect spouse, the smartest kids, luxury cars. There’s nothing wrong with any of these things and you deserve them all if you so desire. But would you bother with any of it if you didn’t think it would bring you happiness and peace of mind? Probably not.
Inner Peace, I believe, is what everyone is really looking for. It’s the reason we do everything that we do, yet much of what we do takes us farther away from it. We want to feel important and loved, free and fulfilled, secure and unworried. We want to feel good inside, and everything outside somehow appears to be the way to make it happen. But it’s not.
There is no world peace until the people in the world have peace within, no fulfillment of purpose until we know that the real purpose is the inner journey, no worldly paradise until we create paradise in our own hearts.
If paradise isn’t quite the word you’d use to describe where you are right now, I ask you to take a trip to paradise with me today. You don’t need to pack your bags, buy a ticket or arrange for a place to stay. You simply need to close your eyes and detach from everything outside of you. [Keep reading Inner Peace...]

“He’s probably too busy.”
“She must think she’s better than me.”
“They would never hire me for that job.”
If you read the title above, you know what these statements have in common. They are all assumptions, which is the topic of this week’s inspirational thoughts.
Why Your Assumptions Matter
Assumptions are the mind’s way of putting together a puzzle with pieces that include facts and opinions, hopes and fears, wishes and judgments. Sometimes the pieces fit perfectly, but quite often they keep the puzzle from ever becoming what it could be. [Keep reading Your Assumptions...]
