When I'm feeling uneasy, confused, or need extra motivation to persevere, I frequently consider ideas and insights from those who have gone before me.
Look below for a quotation (poem) in three parts from Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American philosopher/poet I admire.
"Write it on Your Heart" helps me focus on positive energy, encourages me to be mindful, and renews my sense of well-being.
I share the poem now in hopes that it will help you. Please comment below, and let us know which parts resonate with you.
If another quotation or poem has captured your heart, please share that as well in the comments section below.
In light of the current world situation, I set the intention to let go of worry and fear of things I am powerless over, recognize possibilities in today, be of service to a higher good, and focus on the beauty and blessings of this one day only.

I enjoyed the poems by Ralph Waldo Emerson, especially the one about letting go of the blunders and absurdities and starting each new day with a clean slate.
ReplyDeleteThat part rings true for me as well. Thanks for the visit and comment. Wishing you a fresh new day!

ReplyDeleteThis post is very inspirational and uplifting. I enjoyed reading the quotes. I like one by Albert Einstein- "Stay away from negative people, they have a problem for every solution.
Glad you shared that Albert Einstein quote. It gave me a chuckle and is so true. Wishing you a wonderful day.

DeleteI dont understand people who worry over things they have no control over. What a waste of energy and spirit. And I dont call it worry over things I do have control over--I call it pondering.
ReplyDeleteThanks for you comment Nan. Have a beautiful day.
