Visiting my partner’s parents place up in Brisbane, I noticed some inspirational reading on their toilet wall. It was hard not to notice – the articles were plastered on the wall right in front of your face as soon as you sat down. I must say though, it made for an amusing and thought-provokingg toilet experience.
Anyway, the one article I remember most was an article ripped out of Oprah’s “O” Magazine entitled, “What I Know For Sure.” It was Oprah’s list of things she was unequivocally certain about.
Since reading it, I thought I’d make my own list too:
So here’s what I know for sure…
1. Love is not just something we do. It’s something that we emanate. It’s who we are. It’s our Being.
2. Now is the only moment that matters. I rarely live in the past. I have a general sense of where I’m going and I use my present time to get me there 🙂
3. One person can make a difference.
4. We have the choice of how we are going to react at any given moment.
5. If you do something that you enjoy, you never have to work a day in your life.
6. People are more important than things.
7. Worrying uses up lots of energy, causes you to lose sleep and it doesn’t solve anything. So quit worrying.
8. Your perception shapes your reality.
9. What we feed our brains is just as relevant as what we feed our bodies.
10. Laughing is better therapy than shopping.
11. Our circle of close friends are the family we’ve created for ourselves.
Feel free to add some of yours to the list. And I’ll keep you posted if I come up with any more 🙂
