ENCOURAGEMENT
5 COMMON WAYS TO DISCOURAGE
We set standards that are too high for others to meet because we are overly ambitious.
We focus on mistakes as a way to motivate change or improved behavior.
We make constant comparisons (self to others, siblings to one another).
We automatically give a negative spin to the actions of others.
We dominate others by being overly helpful, implying that they are unable to do it as well.
by Dr. Emily De Carlo
So often we accept the declarations that others have made concerning our own lives, well-being or fate.
It is imperative that we recognize that in order to achieve what we want in life, we must not give our power away to others by accepting their declarations concerning our affairs.
When one decides that he or she will boldly declare good fortune, wellness, joy, etc. relative to his or her life, goodness and mercy shall surely follow.
POWER OF PERSONAL DECLARATIONS
The following are some declarations that you may want to make concerning your life: I declare:
that I am totally free of all addictions.
that I will survive any attempts of others to control my life.
that I am free in my mind, body, and emotions.
that I am free to set goals and reach them.
that I am a loving individual with the capacity to give love.
that I am a child of God with all rights and privileges thereof.
You may have defects, be anxious and sometimes live irritated, but do not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world.
Only you can prevent it from going into decadence. There are many that need you, admire you and love you.
BEING HAPPY
is finding strength in forgiveness, hope in one’s battles, security at the stage of fear, love in disagreements.
Being happy
is not only to treasure the smile, but also to reflect on the sadness. It is not just commemorating the event, but also learning lessons in failures. It is not just having joy with the applause, but also having joy in anonymity.
Being happy
is to recognize that it is worthwhile to live, despite all the challenges, misunderstandings and times of crise.
Being happy
is not an inevitable fate, but a victory for those who can travel towards it with your own being.
Being happy
y is to stop being a victim of problems but become an actor in history itself. It is not only to cross the deserts outside of ourselves, but still more, to be able to find an oasis in the recesses of our soul. It is to thank God every morning for the miracle of life.
Being happy
is not being afraid of one’s feelings. It is to know how to talk about ourselves. It is to bear with courage when hearing a “no”. It is to have the security to receive criticism, even if it is unfair. It is to kiss the children, pamper the parents, have poetic moments with friends, even if they have hurt us.
Being happy
means allowing the free, happy, and simple child inside each of us to live; having the maturity to say, “I was wrong”; having the audacity to say, “forgive me”. It is to have sensitivity in expressing, “I need you”; to have the ability of saying, “I love you.” So that your life becomes a garden full of opportunities for being happy.
Being happy
One of Webster’s definitions describes it as an “emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension.”
