Life Enhancing Thought # 73

You want people to be your friends. But are you a real friend to yourself?

Life-Enhancing Thought # 72

Your body is not you.
Your age is not you.
Your mind is not you.
So... who is "you"?

Life-Enhancing Thought # 71

If you don't succeed in truly liking yourself, probably no-one else will.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 70

When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you like what you see?

Life-Enhancing Thought # 69

You certainly know that the only thing you can actually change in order to improve your life is "yourself". Are you doing it?

... and with you.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 68

This life is all you have. 
Don't waste any of it. 
Seriously.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 67

You become aware of your powerlessness when you wish to change things that don’t depend on you. Avoid feeling frustrated by simply acknowledging them.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 66

If you consciously listen to a clock ticking, you realize that you would never be able to stop time, not even for just one instant. Does this make you think?

Life-Enhancing Thought # 65

In general, do you think that people are good? Or are they bad? In either case, you are right. Your ‘judgement’ creates your reality.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 64

Refusing to accept life’s happenings is silly. Either you like them or not, they “happen”. To you, like to anybody else.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 63

Smiling is the best way to ban your bad mood. You might not feel like doing it but, if you try, you’ll see that it usually works.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 62

You are always free to accept or oppose what happens. Acceptance gives you inner peace, opposition grants you on-going inner war.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 61

Being able to establish a real "intimacy" (intellectual/of the mind and emotional/of the heart) with another is one of the greatest gift one can wish for.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 60

It's not easy to "detach" yourself from unpleasant situations. But it's feasible. You should try.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 59

Practice keeping your eyes looking at the stars rather than staring at the mud.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 58

You believe that it's usually "you" who reacts to the behavior of others. Don't forget that the other way around works as well.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 57

Your day can be good or bad according to your attitude. Events are possibly the same, it's your state of mind that may need to change.

Life-Enhancing Thought # 56

"Great minds discuss ideas.
Average minds discuss events.
Small minds discuss people." (Eleanor Roosevelt)

What kind of mind is yours?

Life-Enhancing Thought # 55

Honest self-examination:
How “helpful” are you? (= capable of providing a selfless service to another)

Life-Enhancing Thought # 54

Honest self-examination:

How “generous” are you? (= capable of giving others 'something' of yourself such as time, attention, authentic caring etc.)

Life-Enhancing Thought # 53

Honest self-examination:
How “compassionate” are you? (= capable of truly understanding someone else’s feelings)

Life-Enhancing Thought # 52

Honest self-examination:
How “daring” are you? (= capable of trying something whose outcome is uncertain)

Life-Enhancing Thought # 51

Honest self-examination:
How “brave” are you? (= capable of facing a challenging situation)

Life-Enhancing Thought # 50

Do you trust too much?
Do you trust too little?
As for everything in life, a balance is advisable. 

Life-Enhancing Thought # 49

Memories are good only if they give you a positive feeling, if they provide you with useful information or if they teach you a valuable lesson.

Are you completely satisfied with your life? 

Yes? Lucky you. 

No? Most people aren't. But it's a common feature of life.
