Battles are not often won by a single person, but by armies. Accept help from your allies when it is offered. The more people in your platoon, the easier it can become to win your wars.

Our thoughts are a lot like jewelry. Some are bright, glittering, beautiful. Others are gaudy, heavy, overwhelming. It is up to choose what jewelry we wear as well as the thoughts we think. Go for the bright and beautiful today. Sparkle on.

The butterflies in the skies are so gorgeous and free that we don’t often stop to consider what they were before. All butterflies were once caterpillars confined to the earth as little worms, with limited view of the world, but they underwent epic change in order to take their freedom and fly. Even if it hurts when your wings are growing, it is worth the changes you’ll go through.

Inevitably, our actions attract like-minded people to us. After all, people find comfort in that which is familiar. Thus, when we make daily strides to stay positive and act kindly, we will often find ourselves surrounded by a party of optimistic, warmhearted humans. The love you put out there is contagious.

Throughout our lives, we have to make many choices, and there are plenty of then that we may feel the need to regret. Starting today, do not regret your decisions. After all, any direction you’ve selected was the best thing you could think to do at the time, and that’s all anyone can ask of you. Your learning experiences aren’t meant for regret, but celebration.

You are the one person you are with for the entirety of your life. This is why it’s so important to practice self love and learn to forgive yourself. Being grumpy and holding grudges against yourself makes for a cruel, grim life. Don’t do that to yourself, Friend. Be kind to you, and forge a loving relationship with your mind, body, and soul.

Some people love us in spite of our faults, others love us because of our faults, and a few love us unconditionally, faults and all. This last kind of love is the most rare and resilient of all. When you find such love, treasure it.

An idle mind is no one’s friend if you’re facing anxiety or self-sabotage. If you have moments in which your consciousness drifts toward turning on you, try instead to engage your mind with challenging tasks. Whether you enjoy puzzles, video or word games, or detective shows and books, find ways to keep your mind working so that it doesn’t have a chance to self-destruct. Of course you have to deal with the underlying causes, but keeping your brain positive and engaged can actually help you heal from destructive thoughts.

When life gives you a handful of lemons, always remember that what you do with them is up to you — and your choice might not be to make lemonade. You could grumpily sit by and watch them rot, or even lash out at others by throwing lemons at them (please don’t!). Or you could make the best of the sour fruit and whip up some delicious lemony treats or squeeze a little in your tea. Remember that with the right mindset, you can make the best out of the sourest situations.

You are the only person whose actions you can control. You are not responsible for how others treat you or react to you. Their actions and choices come from their own view of the world. Of course, this doesn’t mean you needn’t be kind. Of course you should. This does means that when people are unkind to you, it is not your fault or really about you to begin with.

Being starved of human touch can have a devastating effect on our souls. Even the most introverted and anti-touchy-feely of us need physical contact from time to time. Ever feel like you need a hug or else you might just ball your eyes out? This could be a sign of touch starvation. Connect with someone and have yourself a good cuddle or even a firm handshake. If people aren’t your thing, you might snuggle up to a pet. Having contact with other warm, living beings is a vital part of the human experience.

What is life without laughter? Pretty boring, that’s for sure. Laughing is one of the best innate medicines we can administer to ourselves, so laugh often and with others. Snort, giggle, and roll on the floor laughing out loud. Laughter keeps us sane, lifts our spirits, and makes difficult moments a little easier to handle.
