Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Do All the Good You Can

Morning Mantra: "I cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good I can do."    We tend to thing too big.  Like if we can't solve world hunger then our contribution to the food bank is not enough.  We are embarrassed by our lack.  If we don't have the money to adopt a family for Christmas then our volunteering to pack gifts for the shelter is not enough.  It's a waste of time. Remember, whenever you're in a position to help someone, no matter how insignificant you might think it is,  be glad and do it.  Because that's God answering someone else's prayers through you. We rise by lifting others.  #BeAGoodDeedDoer #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Willing to Fail

Morning Mantra: "I never lose; I either succeed or I learn."  There is no such thing as failure because even if you don't succeed in your attempt, you will learn many valuable lessons from it. One thing you will learn is how important your goal is to you.  And if it's important, you'll try again, over and over. A few other things you'll learn are your strength, your tenacity, and your capacity to seek help from others. You will also learn what NOT to do. And that is a very valuable thing to know if you try again. Success should not be measured merely by the end goal, but by what you overcame to get there, who you become during the process, and what you learn along the way. #BeWillingToFail #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBrand #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Forget Your Phone

Morning Mantra: "Do more things that make you forget to check your phone."  If your cell phone gets more attention than your health, your relationships, and the pursuit of your best life, you might want to re-evaluate your priorities. The more time we spend interconnected via technology, the less time we have to develop authentic relationships in the real world.  The more of our life we spend searching the web, the less time we have to search for meaning in our life. Our cell phones have already replaced our watches, our cameras, and our calendar, don't let it replace your friends and family too.  Nothing on your phone is more important than the person you are with. See how long you can put down your phone, and be here now. #BeOkayWithoutYourPhone #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

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
