Inspiration Tidbits

Life is an Opportunity!
In times of doubt or stress, I find myself reaching for some of my favorite quotes or poems.

Sitting quietly and reading one or more of these inspirational writings will often stir in me the strength to tackle the issue or issues at hand.

I am sharing Life is an Opportunity which is a poem amongst my many favorites

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it."~ Mother Teresa

"As this is your Life, be grateful for it, share it, respect it, grow with it, love it and be yourself."

Wooden Artwork Storage Frames

With the school year about mid-way done, children have probably brought home several of their many art projects.
A good way to display and store these many treasures is with a storage frame.

Children often make unique art projects for holidays and other special events.
The great thing about these storage frames is that your child’s art can be on display all year long with the flexibility of changing at a whim with the other art project being stored in the frame.

These frames are specially sized to hold the standard sizes of artwork created at school or home. Each polystyrene-covered wooden frame also includes a 3/4" deep compartment behind the picture to store approx. 50 more pictures.
Frame Measures 14.5" x 11.5" x 1 3/4" and fits 9" x 12" Artwork.

Inspire your child by giving their artwork that special attention it deserves with these
Easy Change Artwork Frames.

I welcome any questions, sharing or comments you may have.

Need to lower your Blood Pressure?
Try this 2-Minute Blood Pressure Lowering Exercise

Simply squeeze a rubber ball. It seems to help—a lot, says Men's Health magazine author Steven Stiefel. According to a study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, people performing handgrip exercises for 8 weeks lowered their systolic blood pressure by 15 points and their diastolic pressure by five.

"The blood-pressure response to grip training is greater than to aerobic exercise," says lead author Maureen MacDonald, Ph.D. All it takes is 2 minutes of squeezing, four times a day.

It can also help reduce your stress which in return helps lower your blood pressure. While squeezing these small rubber shapes, take deep breaths and concentrate on each breath.

It's amazing! While squeezing this small rubber shape and concentrating on each breath, there is very little room for any other thoughts to enter your mind!
Try several shapes and take time to bring out your inner child, just have fun and smile all while acquiring some emotional and physical health benefits. A great way to manage your stress!

Wisdom Tidbits

"Live in the Present"
#2 of The 10 Commandments of True Happiness
and probably one of my favorites.
by Deepak Chopra

"The present is the only moment you have. Keep your attention on what is here and now; look for the fullness in every moment. Accept what comes to you totally and completely so that you can appreciate it, learn from it, and then let it go. The present is as it should be. It reflects infinite laws of Nature that have brought you this exact thought, this exact physical response. This moment is as it is because the universe is as it is. Don’t struggle against the infinite scheme of things; instead, be at one with it."

In reality all of Deepak Chopra's 10 Commandments are inspiring learning tools and I feel that we should try to apply them as often as we can on a daily basis.

I welcome any questions, sharing or comments you may have.

When You Were Born

Dancing Universe by Tisha

Life and Learning Hats = Wisdom Hat

The meaning of everyday life can be a complex topic but reading about its significance can be a very inspiring.
Years ago I came across "When You Were Born" a guideline if you will about life.

Please read on and see what you think.
When you were born, you did not come with an owner's manual; these 14 guidelines may make life work a little better for you.

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "Life on Planet Earth". Every person or incident is a Universal Teacher.
3. There are no mistakes, only teachers. Growth is a process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "successes."
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it: then you can go on to the next lesson.
5. If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.
6. You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little something is better than a lot of nothing.
7. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here."
8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
9. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life. or someone else will.
10. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract; therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.
11. There are no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the pattern in place. Just do your best.
12. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen and trust.
13. You will forget all this.
14. You can remember any time you wish. - Author unknown

I reread these guidelines from time to time, I do enjoy all of them, but #9 is probably my favorite.
