Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

The Meaning of Life

Morning Mantra: "The meaning of life is to experience, to create, and to love, in whatever way is yours." We often wonder, "What is the meaning of my life?"  I found the following definition somewhere- sorry I can't remember where- and it stuck with me. I hope you find it helpful. Life is about creating. Making things that didn’t exist before – quilts, music, friendships, ideas, moments. It’s the act of saying, “I was here. “ Life is about connection. People are wired for each other. Even when it’s messy. Even when it’s confusing. The most meaningful moments humans have- our joy, our grief and love- most always involve someone else. Life is about noticing. Whatever consciousness is, it’s this astonishing lens that lets you witness beauty in the small things; whether it be the patterns in old barn wood, the beauty of a dogwood bloom, or the whiskers on a cat.  The meaning is often paying attention. Life is about the moments where you feel fully alive. For some, it’s applause. For some, it’s silence. For some, it’s the first green leaf on a sampling they started from a seed. For others it’s the first ray of sunshine on the horizon. It's whatever makes YOU feel. Life’s meaning isn’t one big answer – it’s a mosaic of tiny ones. #BeWillingToExperienceLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Tell Them What You Need

Morning Mantra: "Tell people what you need.  You'll either get it or realize they can't give it to you.  Both are gifts." We often assume that people should know what we need.  If they KNOW me they should understand my needs well enough for me not to have to tell them. The truth is, you should never assume others know what you want or need emotionally. It's hard, but necessary to communicate this openly and honestly.  It seems simple enough to just say it. But we all understand how difficult that can be and resort to the "if they loved me, I shouldn't HAVE to tell them". This never works.  So we then feel resentful or change or needs.  But you must not try and un-need what you need.  People will either be right for you or they won't.  But trying to change your needs so they fit, will only diminish you.   Learning to communicate BEFORE the resentment rears its ugly head or you change your needs is the single most important thing in a relationship.  If you can't do that then maybe it's not the right one. #BeAbleToSpeakYourNeeds #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Finding Joy Everywhere

Morning Mantra: "Today, I choose joy."  It can be pretty difficult these days but you must not allow the world to pull you down with its negativity.  Instead, choose to change the world around you with your own positive outlook. Imagine living this day filled with joy, happiness and positive purpose. Imagine it, then take one more step and actually do it!  Focus on the things that you can give, create, inspire, share and choose to experience. If that is too hard then find joy in doing nothing and you'll find it in everything. Experience happiness without a reason and you can create happiness for any reason. Look for joy and you will find it. Find your JOY then do it, be it, live it. #BeFullOfJoy  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #Morningmantra #InspirationalQuote

Be Unstoppable

Morning Mantra: "I am unstoppable.” You are going to want to give up at times. Don't.  Dig deep. Take a break. Get inspired by the strength of others. Focus on your goals. Do what you have to do. Just. Don’t. Quit.  Continue you on despite the failures and doubts. You've done it before and you can do it again.  Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, unstoppable, effective determination. #BeUnstoppable #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #morningmotivation #inspirationalquotes #morningmantra #horsehippieboutique

Be The One That Helps

Morning Mantra: "Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about."  Today, as you go about your day, try to remember that that there is probably someone having a tougher day than you. There is always someone trying to be positive in the face of a battle. There is always someone that needs love and support. There is always someone that needs to be lifted as life takes them down. Be the one that helps. Be the one that inspires them to try one more time. Be the one who doesn't judge. Be the shoulder, the helping hand, the tear wiper, the listener, the one that makes them feel heard. #BeTheOne #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique
