Inspirational Quote: What is stress?

What is stress?
Stress is to refuse to accept a circumstance in your life for which you have
no control, stress is measure by the amount of energy that you invest
resisting those circumstances. Stress is to waste energy attempting with
your thoughts and feelings to change a person, an event or a circumstance
surrounding you. The trick to avoid stress is to realize that no amount of
effort can ever change the circumstances while they are happening to you, no
matter how bad, do not oppose the moment instead, accept and feel what is
occurring. --

Inspirational Thoughts: Stop Creating Unwanted Moments


Stop Creating Unwanted Moments

Struggling to change some unwanted condition in your life without first addressing the character within you that it reflects, is like blaming the mirror for what you don't like seeing (in it).

Inspirational Thoughts: Paradise

Paradise
By Larry Brophy from Payson USA.

Just could this be paradise
right here where you are?

Nirvana within you 
not somewhere afar?

Tho' some would decry it
and say it can't be

just follow along
if you long to be free.

Your life's what you make it -
your choices each day

the thoughts that you harbor
and words that you say

determine the status
of your life today.

So if you want more
than you think you have now

watch closely your mindset
and you'll find out how

Just live in the present.

Think only the best
about yourself first
and then all the rest
of your brothers and sisters -
you'll find that you're blest
and really in paradise.

It's all in your mind.

Whatever you look for
is just what you'll find.
