{Todays #Inspiration} What Compliment Has Truly Resonated With You? A #MotivationMonday inspired by @BuzzFeed

This is NOT a Sponsored Post, just food for your spirit!

Happy Monday Morning Butterflies! How was your Christmas? Did Santa treat you nice?

I got to feed my soul with traditions that I enjoy (like opening a present before midnight, usually PJ's!) and surprisingly didn't put up a tree this year, I just plain didn't feel like it, some years I go through this - and I just go with it. 

I needed to take a 'pause from the cause' and go back to some retro Ascending Butterfly 'Today's Words of Inspiration' - you know, how this blog started with daily inspirational food for your soul - back to our empowerment roots. I need that. (and I have a strong feeling many of you do too!)

It's been so long since I have done a Today's Inspiration that I really wanted to delve deep and bring you 'one to grow on' for today!

I rarely do 're-posts' and 're-shares' on my blog pages, I post original content and that's the way I like it, but today two amazing women in my Facebook Feed shared this video from BuzzFeed on their timeline and it really got me thinking, so I re-shared it on my personal and blog facebook page.

Check out the video here:

I went hunting for the original post that accompanies the video too! The post itself can be found HERE, it mostly posts the video and then the comments on the post are a goldmine in their own way. And a powder keg to a degree - but social media comes with it's share of good and bad.

Compliments are a funny thing aren't they? We don't give them out nearly as often as we should, and we rarely take one gracefully. ~Ascending Butterfly

For women most Compliments center around our looks, on a physical attribute. But I'll bet the compliments that have stuck with you were the ones that had absolutely nothing to do with your looks.

Compliments that have NOTHING to do with 'looks' that have resonated most with me:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - I always come to you when a need good sounding board because I know you will be honest.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - You are an amazing friend.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - You are a talented writer. (and before I began writing for a living, the compliment that resonated with me most was 'you should be a writer' - it took a LONG time for me to take this compliment to heart and actually MOVE on it.)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Your perserverance never ceases to astound/amaze me. (Secretly this may be my favorite - I have had many bosses give me that one!).

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - You are the most loyal person I know.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - You inspire me.

So today Butterfly share with me: What is the BEST Compliment you ever received that had NOTHING to do with your looks? (Men I would love your feedback on this question as well as the ladies!)

{#MotivationMonday} Dalai Lama or Dalai Homer, You Decide!

While I continue to battle this annoying Flu which doesn't seem to want to go away, I thought I'd inject a little humor into today's Motivation Monday to start the week with a little laugh!

It really is a good message:

Do Not Let The Behavior of Others Destroy Your Inner Peace.

Motivation Monday: My Favorite Nelson Mandela Quote!

This has always been my favorite Nelson Mandela Quote:

"Our Deepest Fear is Not that we are inadequate. Our Deepest Fear is That we are Powerful Beyond Measure." ~ Nelson Mandela

We lost a leader who truly led by example, but he wouldn't want the world to be darker in his absence, he would want us to shine our lights even brighter and apply our collective individual light to making this world shine brighter.

Motivation Monday: Are you willing to give up being a caterpillar Edition + We have a winner!

How does one become a butterly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. ~ Trina Paulus

Motivation Monday:

Sometimes we really do have to shed the skin that is comfortable and venture straight into the unknown to make the significant changes we seek in our lives to feel fulfilled.

It's hard to give up what we know, why?

(1) It's comfortable

(2) We went through a lot just to get here, so we don't always want to embrace change

(3) The Unknown can be big and scary

But Ascending to a new level is a part of our journey, one we are not always pysched about, but often times it's just plain necessary. We learn how strong we are only at times we are challenged, only during the moments of growth that aren't always so willing to embrace. So instead of change forcing itself upon you, embrace it yourself and make small changes each day so that when your moment comes to give up being a caterpillar, you will be ready! Being an Ascending Butterfly means always being on a journey to rise higher than you were before.

We have a winner!

Motivation Monday: What goes better with quotes than butterflies?

Graphic Reads: "When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly!" ~ Edward Teller

I feel like I am about to step into the unknown myself this year in so many ways, and my Faith definitely tells me I will fly! Just thought I'd put a little Motivation in your Monday, here's hoping you not just 'fly' but 'soar' this week!

What do you need encouragement to try this week? Share your leap of Faith!

Today's Inspiration: Tuning Back in Thursday!

 

 

A friend posted these beautiful words as her facebook status yesterday, and although I have reads these words before, it felt like a warm blanket on a cold day to read them again:

 

May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life ~ Apache Blessing

Stay Inspired Butterflies!

Today's Words of Inspiration - Are you seeking happiness in the distance?



Today's Quote:

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. ~James Openheim

To some degree we are always seeking happiness in the distance. Every day that you actively work to pursue a goal or a dream you are actively pursuing your idea of happiness. Be it personal or professional fulfillment, love or friendship, happiness means different things to different people and even different things to the same person at different points in their lives.

But when we don't take the time to 'smell the roses' and be grateful for what we do have, we won't feel fulfilled with that happiness in the distance either.

Are you so busy seeking happiness in the distance, that the small pockets of daily happiness are eluding you?

Today's Challenge: List three moments of happiness you experienced TODAY

Today's Breathing Affirmation: Close your eyes, take a deep, slow breath in through your nose, and affirm "I am happy in the now."

Today's Words of Inspiration - What causes you to lose hope?

Today's Breathing Affirmation: Close your eyes, take a deep, slow breath in through your nose, and affirm "I will not lose hope."

Today's Words of Inspiration - How far will you go in life?

@inspiring-posters

Today's Quote:

'How far you go in life depends on your being Tender with the Young, compassionate with the Aged, sympathetic with the Striving, and Tolerant of the Weak and Strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.' ~George Washington Carver

Being open minded and tolerant doesn't cost much, but truly yields great rewards! Not just to those we show that compassion to, but to ourselves as well.

Today's Challenge: Open your heart and expand your mind to see something from a different point of view than your own.

Today's Breathing Affirmation: Close your eyes, take a deep, slow breath in through your nose, and affirm "I have unconditional and limitless compassion."

Before logging out for your weekend fun, if you haven't already done so, don't forget to enter our active giveaway for an Elliott Lucca Drawsting Crossbody Handbag in YOUR choice of color HERE. Also please enter our latest giveaway with Borghese HERE.

Remember that attitude determines altitude, and go out there and make this your best day ever, bless and be blessed!

Where you can open your mind today? Where can you show more compassion?

Today's Words of Inspiration - Better Than

 

Have you ever found yourself wrapped up in the 'more' and 'better'?

The I want more. The I need more. The I can do better.

More of what? Better than What?

Are you taking score? How many more times you've done something for someone than they have done for you?

Today's Quote: Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. ~ William Faulkner US novelist (1897 - 1962)

If you spend today trying to beat your own personal best, and less worried about what the Jones' are up to, you can change your mindset into one of optism and pro-activity!

Today's Words of Inspiration'

 

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud 'I am at one with Universe, a benign sky provides me with what I need, I want for nothing, all is well in my world.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about profound and powerful changes in your life.

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Today's Words of Inspiration - Happy Valentine's Day!

What's Love?

“Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.” ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

We Need To Catch Up

Butterflies there is so much going on, and literally a ton to share! I think I've lived a month in a weekend! And I promise catch up posts about everything going on are coming!

Love Month

I've decided to make it love month at Ascending Butterfly and I have some fun giveaways in store, in fact one will be coming up later today!

Taking Stock

Whether married or single, I hope this is a day of taking stock of all the love in your life! Roses are beautiful, but this holiday is about Love. Candy is sweet, flowers are pretty and jewelry does dazzle, but Love is so many other things! It's the friend you can call at midnight because you need an ear, it's the husband that made breakfast, took out the garbage and got the kids to school so you could sleep in, it's the wife who greeted you with heart shaped pancakes, the baby that lights up when you walk in the room! It's your parents who love you unconditionally!

Mud Masks and Margaritas!

What started out one Valentine's Day as a night where the weather was bad and none of my single friends wanted to venture into the city, became a ritual that even our married friends want to join in on now. We get together and have home spa treatments like facial masks combined with Margaritas, coupled with girl talk, and tons of laughs!

Today, don't measure how much you are loved by the number of gifts you receive or admirers that you have, measure it in the daily ways that love manifests itself in your life!

Today's Words of Inspiration! + Official Winner's Announcement

Just Change One Letter

Did you know that something as simple as changing one letter can change your whole perspective?

Let The Bangles have their 'Manic Monday', I'd rather delete the 'N' and put in a 'G'. Make mine a 'Magic Monday' please!

Do you remember the things that once struck you as magical when you were young? The moon always following your car when you'd stare out the window during a night drive? Unicorns? Santa?

Remember if you are with me that 'attitude really does altitude', then small shifts in your perspective that help change your attitude today as this new work week commences will certainly change your altitude!

A good quote to keep in mind as this new week begins is as follows:

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. ~John Wooden
