Our world always benefits from more love and positive energy. When you feel inspired, or when you simply want to do something good for your fellow human beings and/or the earth, go into a meditative state, where you clear you mind and settle into a comfortable breathing pattern. Then visualize white light and love going through you and from you out into the world and to your fellow human beings.
In your minds eye see the white light and love bathe and infuse everyone and everything. Keep this visual as long as feels comfortable for you. Anyone can do it. You will see how it benefits you too. :)

Win Or Loose
"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." by Arnold Schwarzeneger
Win or loose remember what you learned along the way rather than solely focusing on the outcome. In some instances only one person can win, but that doesn't mean that all efforts were for nothing. If it makes you stronger, you are a winner too.

Self Acceptance
How easy is it for you to accept a compliment? Do you qualify it or even belittle it? Do you doubt it or can you fully accept it without self-judgement?
What about a 'thank you'? Do you answer with: "No, thank you!" or "Not a big deal." or "No problem." Look closely at these answers - none of them accept the given 'thank you', which means that you, yourself, don't believe in the value of what you are being thanked for.
Accepting a compliment, positive statement, or a thank you is an art form too. Pay attention and look at them, let them in. Being able to receive them is a reflection of your self acceptance.

Fake It Until You Become It
"Fake it until you make it." is a common saying nowadays. What if instead, as someone shared with me today, you would say: "Fake it until you become it."?
The simple change of one word made the whole sentence more personal and empowering. You are owning your change. It is personal to you and your development.
So instead of "making" it, "become" it. Become the change. :)

Following Your Internal Compass
The more you are in touch with who you are the less importance you give to what others might think or say. You follow an internal compass that shows you the right way for you. And that is ultimately what you are here for - to learn your lessons.
No two paths are the same. Thus while you can learn from others, you will need to make your own decisions, and while you can give advice to others, they will need to find their own path too. Judgment has no place in this give and take process. The giving has to be given freely and lovingly as does the taking with no hidden agendas nor strings attached.

Expand Your World
Sometimes you get so lost in your own world and your own problems that you loose sight of what is going on around you. Take time to stop and experience everything around you too. Though it doesn't change what is going on for you, it does give you perspective and it can foster gratitude for all the blessing you do have in your life.
Life goes on all around you and everyone experiences their challenges and joys. When you are deep in your own world and getting nowhere, open your senses to those around you as well as to nature (something simple as a gentle rain can make you feel peaceful). Choose to feel and think something else. Consciously expand your world.

Carve Out Time For Yourself
When you are having a physically and emotionally draining time you will find, if you listen closely, the call to find quiet time, a time to regroup possibly through meditation. Ironically when you are experiencing this busy, draining time, the last thing you seem to be willing to do is carve out that precious time to give to yourself.
So when you are in this situation, be kind to yourself and give yourself this quiet time. Your soul is crying out for a moment of peace, for the chance to regroup, rebalance and recharge. The time needed is never long, but the results are vastly positive. Give yourself this gift.
