As Albert Einstein himself said: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." That, to me, slowly translates to- you can't start fresh with old habits. Getting rid of our bad habits is difficult and demands unforeseen courage and strength. Whatever your new year's resolutions are, or how you perceive a healthy lifestyle, here are some thoughts that inspire me to keep working on my wellness goals. I am sure they will motivate you too. (I have taken all the pictures used in the story.)

A glimmer of hope born of idealized fanaticism, seemingly, that is what it was to me at the time, although If you looked close enough you would surely see the thing I would now call something that was just beyond sheer belief, a concrete knowing- so innate; within my little sister Xanadu’s eyes, like it existed there within her before she even did. Something ancient, something entirely familiar yet so completely foreign sat in her gaze.

Aesthetic WriterPublished 3 years ago in Motivation10 Quotes To Create Awareness Of Your Support Network
I mentioned in my message yesterday about how every one of us go through times of extreme challenge, adversity, hardship, pain, and sorrow, and how we yearn for others to be there for us, to provide us with that much needed help, support, encouragement, care, and love, to guide us through such difficulty. In all honesty, we expect our partner, our parents, our friends, and our family, all to be those such people, during our darkest days. Today's message is about preparing you for harsh reality, but to also provide you with strength and courage to overcome adversity. The truth is, not all people you expect to be there for you during your worst times, are going to be there for you at all. It's a sad fact that when someone faces difficulty, hardship, and pain, most people will actually abandon that person altogether. People opt not to get involved as they either have their own issues to sort out, or they don't want to have that burden of carrying someone else's issues in their mind. Those with a genuine kind, caring, and compassionate, heart will be there for you, and even go to great lengths to help and support you as much as they can, but it's unfortunate that these people are few and far between. In fact, during your darkest times, you will quickly discover the true character and nature of each person closely associated with you in life.
David StidstonPublished 3 years ago in Motivation10 Quotes To Remind Us Of Our Obligation To Help Others
Have you ever been through an extremely tough time in your life, one that you perhaps suffered severe financial hardship, or you were maybe overwhelmed with sorrow, or you were maybe struggling with a relationship/marriage breakdown, or you perhaps lost your job, or whatever the situation was, but you really just needed help and support desperately? If you answered no to that question, I think you would have to be kidding yourself. At some, in fact many times in our life, we are confronted with situations and circumstances that totally crush and devastate us, and we would so desperately love someone to reach out a helping hand, show us they care, and be there to support us and help guide us through such tough times. Sadly, many of us haven't had that blessing of receiving help and support when we needed it most, and we had to navigate through it on our own. People may have abandoned us, and left us to our own devices, and although it ultimately made us stronger, that knowledge of how people turned their backs on helping us, still undoubtedly stings us greatly. It perhaps gave us some true perspective, and helped us realize the importance of helping others, prompting us to promise ourselves never to treat people in the same manner, in their time of need. As much as we choose to deny it, we all need help and support at various stages in life, even just to encourage us and provide us with some mental and emotional motivation, just enough to give us an injection of positivity and hope for the future.

LENNYPublished 3 years ago in Motivation10 Quotes To Encourage Us To Enjoy & Embrace The Journey
For most of us, there are goals in which we so desperately long to achieve in life. We know full well that achieving these goals will provide us with immense happiness, satisfaction, and accomplishment. Even just the thought of succeeding in reaching that goal often excites us and brings a little smirk to our face. We want that glory so much, and we want it now. As much as we want it now though, we also are fully aware that life doesn't work like that. We know that it will either take a miracle to achieve, or it will take forever to achieve, and this deflates us. To go from where we are now, to reaching the destination, which is our goal, is indeed a journey in itself. There's a lot that needs to take place before we can taste that success, and it's always a lot of the mundane, unenjoyable, strenuous, uncomfortable, and challenging, crap that stands in our way. The worst part is, it's very rarely just a few weeks, or even a few months, of this, it's quite often many years, definitely where the genuine life transforming goals are concerned anyway. It's a type of journey I'd compare with flying overseas for a holiday, just on a much longer scaled timeframe. Say the destination is Hawaii for me, for example. I'd have to drive to the airport, lug my suitcase a few hundred meters to the terminal, check the bag in, go through the security screening, wait for about an hour in the terminal staring at my phone, finally board the plane, then wait another 20 minutes for everyone else to board and the security demonstration to finish, then it's up in the air for 90 minutes just to get to Sydney, depart the plane, wait another 15 minutes for my bag to come out on the carousel, make my way to the train station, board the train to the international terminal, wait there for another handful of hours, go through the luggage check in and security stuff again, wait more in the terminal, board another plane, spend another 20 minutes on the tarmac waiting to depart, then spend the next 11 hours on the flight with my legs squashed and cramped, land in Honolulu, wait another 30 minutes at the arrivals/customs hall, collect my luggage, catch a shuttle bus to the hotel, and finally, the destination is reached. Urgh, I'm tired from just writing all of that.
David StidstonPublished 3 years ago in Motivation10 Quotes To Emphasize The Importance Of Our Focus
Okay, so today, I am going to talk about the "F" word. I think it's important we address it because it really does affect us greatly. If we are not careful, any incorrect use of the "F" word may lead us to great devastation, failure, and unhappiness. I'm not talking about the expletive "F" word here though, although that actually isn't exactly beneficial and helpful either, I'm talking about the "F" word that our mindset determines, and that is "focus". Focus is actually linked to another "F" word, which is "feelings", and the reason being is that whatever we focus on tends to determine our feelings. When we focus on negative things, and negative aspects of our life, naturally we are going to feel negative, upset, sad, hurt, and unhappy. It's no different in reverse though. When we focus on positive things, and positive aspects of our life, naturally we are going to feel happy, grateful, joyous, excited, and motivated. Let's be honest, life throws a lot of crap our way, and it's not exactly easy to continually think positive, and focus all on lollipops and rainbows. The problem is, when we start to allow these situations and circumstances to consume us, and we consistently focus on everything that is going wrong, everything we don't have, and everything that isn't going our way, then we are also going to consistently feel unhappy, unsatisfied, miserable, and upset. We begin to start feeling more and more sorry for ourselves, and before long, our life seems as if it just one big disappointment. Our mindset becomes totally influenced by negativity, and due to this, our life follows suit.
