Learning to Love Yourself

It is What it is

Morning Mantra: "What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of how it’s supposed to be.”   The best way to avoid unhappiness is to simply allow life to not be perfect. The quickest way to achieve inner peace is to accept the world as it is.  Tires will go flat, people will disrespect you, and things will happen for no logical reason.   That is life. Take a deep breath, smile, and know that all is well because you have the strength to handle it.  Just try not to think life is not working out for you.  Maybe it's not what you thought right now but it's still pretty darn good.  Find something to love about today.  Just as it is. #BeAcceptingOfLifeAsItIs #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Learning to Love Yourself

Morning Mantra: "Once you accept your flaws, no one can use them against you."   Self-acceptance, self-love.  Both truly necessary for happiness.  Both very difficult to do at times. Owning your story and loving yourself through the process is the bravest thing you'll ever do.  It takes courage to face your darkness and find a way to shine your light.  We are quick to judge ourselves as unworthy, not good enough, unlovable.  But I say THIS. IS. ME.  Take me as I am. Just be yourself and let people see the real, quirky, imperfect, flawed, beautiful and magical person you are.  Then go out and SHINE. #BeASelfLover #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalquotes  Quotes:  Peter Dinglage and Brene Brown

Just Breathe

Morning Mantra: "Breathe. You got this."   For whoever needs this today…. Life can feel overwhelming at times. Just try and keep it in perspective and remember... You don't have to figure it out today. You don't have to solve your whole life tonight. You don't have to tackle everything at once. You just have to show up and try. You just have to focus on the moment in front of you. Things will get better. Things will get done. Just breathe and trust you will figure it out.  Just breathe and believe in the power of hope. #BePatientWithYourself #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horsehippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes Image: Jacolien Frens

It’s How We Look at Things

Morning Mantra: "Some see a weed and some see a wish."     Perspective is everything.  It can be your prison or your passport. Since we do not see things as they are, we see things as WE are, we need to make sure we are open to the idea of a different perspective. What feels like the end, could be a beginning. What looks like nowhere could be now here. What feels like a mistake could be a lesson. What feels like a mountain could be a hill. What looks like a long journey could be a first step. The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but rather how you view it.  Don't go through life thinking the only perspective that matters is your own. Everyone has a point of view. #BeWillingToConsiderYourPerspective  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Stumbling Through Life

Morning Mantra: "If you stumble, make it part of the dance."   A mistake that makes you humble is as valuable as an achievement.  It teaches you to laugh at yourself.  To be real and to show you're human. It shows others that you are trying.  It's safer to not try something new and eliminate the risk of a "stumble" but that's not living. Letting people see your "stumble" (and recovery) helps them relate to you because everyone on earth has tripped a few times. So, don't worry about it because the greatest mistake you could ever make, is being too afraid you'll make one. #BeGoodAtStumbling  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes Quote: River Maria Urke
