"Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present." -- Bil Keane

"Some people get addicted to chain-smoking their problems. They spend all day going from sorrow to sorrow. It doesn't have to be that way. You can live each day going from joy to joy—like a sunflower that turns to face the sun as it moves across the sky. It's not about having a problem-free life, but about focusing on the light. Sunflowers still have shadows, but they are always behind them." -- James Clear

"If you see that some aspect of your society is bad, and you want to improve it, there is only one way to do so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve people, you begin with only one thing: you can become better yourself." -- Leo Tolstoy

Billy Beck III, one of the world's best personal trainers, talks about three pre-requisites needed to take command of your mind and body:
-) Self-awareness: You don’t know what you don’t know.
-) Self-honesty: Seek the Truth. Don’t sugarcoat anything.
-) 100% personal responsibility: What happens may not always be your fault but it is your responsibility to make it better.
From this starting point you can tackle any changes.
"All of life's rewards are found by overcoming discomfort. Only challenge creates change." -- BB3

Have you applied the reverse Golden Rule to your life, yet? I guess, most are familiar with the Golden Rule: Treat others how you'd like to be treated.
But for many among us, the reverse would be an even better advice: Treat yourself how you'd like other's to be treated.
Who hasn't succumbed to negative self-talk, saying things to ourselves that we would never dream of saying to someone else.
Let's apply the reverse Golden Rule and try to be kinder with ourselves from time to time.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." -- Carl Rogers

"Life continually tests our ability to recover from distressing and traumatic experiences. We confront failure, criticism and disappointment. By moving through negative emotions and finding meaning and growth in challenges, we regain our balance. We find our center. We bounce back." -- Jeff Krasno

Spring greetings from my mum's garden. 🌺️🐝️🌸
It's the little things: stopping and observing, smelling the flowers, slowing down, ... that make for a sweet, beautiful life.

How about some perspective on this beautiful Sunday? A glimpse at the cosmological calendar, which compresses the history of the universe into one year, shows that humans only made an entrance on the eve of December 31. The alphabet was invented at 11:59:50 p.m that same night. And yet here we are, believing we are most important. Maybe we should all take ourselves less serious from time to time.

"Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know. Among the most necessary knowledge is the knowledge of how to live well." -- Jean Jacques Rousseau

Thank you! 😃 I'm looking forward to this experiment.
Cool move. 💪 This speaks for Nostr!
I guess after a couple of weeks on Nostr some #introductions are in order.
Hi, my name is Tinita. I'm striving to live a mindful, happy life and would love to share my path with you.
This means insightful quotes, book recommendations and general observations about the #goodlife.
By the way I'm not the social media kind of girl, having shunned Facebook, IG, TikTok and the like. But the conversation between nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z and nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr convinced me to give Nostr a try. So far I'm loving it. 🧡

Money, especially sound money, is great. We all know that and it's why we are here 🧡 . But money can't buy everything.

Thanks to James Clear for sending such inspiring quotes via his newsletter "3-2-1 Thursday". I highly recommend it for a weekly boost of motivation and good vibes.
