    Monday Motivation’s Power Words –

    Freedom, Action, Acceptance, Letting Go, Faith

    [dropcap]B[/dropcap]ooks of every stripe, the Internet and family folk lore are full of great advice on how to live life – the  trouble is it’s an overwhelming tsunami of information!

    What do you read, what do you absorb and what do you discard? It’s like having an unending army of guides to take you through the maze of life!

    Let’s take the journey together!

    [dropcap]H[/dropcap]ere Lassi with Lavina does the sweat work for you, scouring the world of words for the best bits of advice to motivate you (and me) every Monday (and for the rest of the week.) Some will be wisdom from the books of wise men and women, some will be tweets of famous and infamous and the merely unknown – but each thought will hopefully enhance your life.

    Re-fueling Time!  (Hikingartist.com)

    So spend a nano-second here every Monday to get some re-fueling of positive thoughts in your gas tank for your daily journey. You can’t travel far on Empty, you know!

    At the same time, don’t lock up the family riches! Do share your knowledge with others.  Please share your own favorite tips in the comments with our readers. Give some, get some!

    [dropcap]F[/dropcap]reedom is the most important right and we have seen that misused and abused in 2018. So cherish it and safeguard it in 2019 – especially freedom of the mind.

    [dropcap]I[/dropcap]n the end, action is the most powerful word! We can think and think but nothing changes till we act upon our thoughts This little video shows how a small, single action a day led to a glorious conclusion. In fact this story is never going to end, with new chapters added on, with shade and beauty for generations to come.

     

    Stop complaining.
    Stop finger-pointing.
    Stop feeling entitled.
    Stop resenting or making excuses.
    The key to progress is to start doing.

    [dropcap]S[/dropcap]o with 2019 dawning, here’s the best tip for you and me – it doesn’t take any unrealistic resolutions which will be broken by the end of January. Rather it’s a belief of life which we can all embrace and strive to make a part of our mental makeup

    – Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be.

    We wish you a happy and enriched 2019! Enjoy the journey….
