There’s a line from the film Inside Out 2 that resonated with me so deeply. You’re likely to miss it if you don’t pay close attention. It’s the scene where Sadness shyly asks Joy if she can go down into the memory pool with her. In response, Joy takes Sadness hand into hers and says to her friend, “Of course! Remember Sadness, wherever I go, you go too.” When I heard that, I remembered how some people like to say that they are afraid of being so happy because they know that after the happiness, sadness follows. That’s really no way to live, and neither is it true. One doesn’t follow the other because they always travel together, side by side, hand in hand. Joy and sadness are like the railroad tracks. Even on the saddest of days, if we look hard enough, and allow ourselves to experience it, there will always be some joy to be found. Likewise, even on the most joyful of days, like the birth of a child, a wedding, a graduation, a championship, or a promotion, when we remember that someone or something is missing, there will always be that tinge of sadness. So when we say that we are grateful for life, we cannot just be grateful for the joyful moments, we must be grateful even for the sad parts. We must be grateful for all of it. Joy and sadness carry us (or we carry them) as we move forward from one season of life to the next. #MovieLessons #Emotions #Mentalhealth #Reposted

Hey everyone, Curtis McCullom here! I wanted to share some thoughts on cultivating that magic feeling in your life. Many of us go through our days feeling like we're just going through the motions, without any real sense of purpose or joy. But what if I told you that you have the power to change that? It all starts with gratitude. When we focus on the things we're grateful for, we start to see more and more blessings in our lives. And when we're in a state of gratitude, we're much more likely to feel that magic feeling we're all chasing. But it's not just about being grateful. It's also about taking action towards the things that bring us joy. Maybe it's starting a new hobby, spending time with loved ones, or pursuing a career that aligns with our values. Whatever it is, make sure you're actively working towards it every day. And finally, remember that you are the creator of your own reality. You have the power to choose how you show up in the world, and what kind of energy you bring with you. So if you want to cultivate that magic feeling in your life, start by choosing to be grateful, take action towards your dreams, and show up as the best version of yourself every day. I hope this post has been helpful for you. If you want to learn more about how to cultivate that magic feeling in your life, feel free to reach out to me or check out my website. Let's make 2023 the year of magic!

🌞 Do you fully let yourself experience joy; or do you tend to circumvent it? Many of us may like to think we let ourselves experience joy, but the truth is that joy is actually one of the most vulnerable emotions we have. And many of us short-circuit it due its vulnerability. 🤔 It's Thought-Provoking Thursday and time for another Rosie-in-my-Pocket... There can be many reasons why we might forebode joy: ➡ We don't want to be caught off-guard if/when the other shoe drops ➡ We think it prevents us from experiencing significant disappointment ➡ We think we shouldn't when others around us are in pain or suffering ➡ It simply feels too scary How we courageously and wholeheartedly lean into joy is through actively practicing gratitude. ❓ What are you most grateful for right now, and what aspects of joy are you leaning into today? #courageousleadership #gratitude

🌟 A Reflection on Life's Blessings 🌟 In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to overlook the small miracles and precious moments that surround us. Today, I wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts from the heart. Life has its fair share of challenges, but it also bestows upon us countless reasons to be grateful. It's in the laughter of loved ones, the warmth of a hug, the beauty of a sunrise, and the kindness of a stranger that we find the true treasures of life. Let's remember to be thankful for the people who have touched our lives, for the experiences that have shaped us, and for the lessons that have made us stronger. Every setback has been a setup for a comeback, and every tear has watered the seeds of growth in our hearts. 💖 Today, I encourage you to: Count Your Blessings: Take a moment to appreciate the good things in your life, big or small. Spread Love: Reach out to someone you care about and remind them how much they mean to you. Embrace Hope: No matter what you're going through, remember that better days are ahead. As we navigate the journey of life, let's cherish the moments that touch our hearts and continue to inspire hope, kindness, and love in this world. 🌻 Share this post if you're feeling grateful today, and let's spread some positivity together! 🌻 #Gratitude #SpreadLove #HeartfeltMoments

✨Gratitude. Sometimes gratitude is easily looked past, if your having a bad day, your car has broke down, stuck in traffic, or something goes terribly wrong. We *as humans* instantly focus on the specific thing that has gone wrong, and only focus on the negative in front of us. It’s so easy to forget how many things we *should* be grateful for, that are easily overlooked….. 1. Clean running water 2. A warm bed 3. A roof over your head 4. Hot food 5. The ability to see the stars 6. Or spend time with friends & family Everyone’s may differ, but the little things that you forget you should be grateful for, are actually the big things. So I challenge you, next time something goes wrong, you feel negative, or your having a bad day. Just stop, close your eyes & breathe…. And say 5 things you are grateful for in that moment, then smile ☺️ I can guarantee your mood will instantly change 🫶🏽

Copied this from another post There's a quote from the movie Inside Out 2 that really struck a chord with me. It's easy to miss if you're not paying close attention. It's the scene where Sadness timidly asks Joy if she can come down with her to the Memory Pond. In response, Joy takes Sadness' hand in hers and tells her friend, 'Of course! Remember Sadness, wherever I go, you're coming too.' When I heard that, it reminded me of how some people fear being too happy because they know sadness might follow. That's not how life works, nor is it true. One doesn't follow the other because they always travel together, side by side, hand in hand. Joy and sadness are like train tracks. Even on the saddest days, if we look closely enough and allow ourselves to experience it, there's always some joy. Similarly, even on the happiest days, like the birth of a child, a wedding, a graduation, a championship, or a promotion, when we remember someone or something missing, there's always a hint of sadness. That's why when we say we're grateful for life, we can't just be grateful for the joyful moments; we must be grateful even for the sad parts. We must be grateful for everything. Joy and sadness carry us (or we carry them) as we move from one stage of life to the next. #InsideOut2 #pixar #disney

Q: “How was your day?” A: “Ok” Q: “What did you do today?” A: “Oh, just the usual, boring stuff!” This is how many of us would reply, isn’t it?! But it doesn’t have to be so… ▶️Be grateful for every sunrise. ▶️Try & learn something new each day. ▶️Make every day count. ▶️Appreciate at least one quality in another person every day. ▶️Make a positive difference (however small) to someone or something. ▶️Love yourself a bit more each day. So that, when you lay your head on your pillow at night, you would not have to say, “I survived another day.” “So, what did you do today?” #continuouslearning #positivedifference #justliving

3 important things in life: 1. Life is about taking moments. Taking moments for yourself to be alone, with loved ones, to connect to nature. Those moments all add up over time and make all the difference to your experience and quality of life. 2. Practise makes perfect. It is not the person who has practised 1000 moves a few times you should fear, it is the person who has practised one move a thousand times. Practise is what sharpens your blade and makes you the best version of yourself. 3. Gratitude is the right attitude. If you can't be grateful for what you have, you can't receive more. Why? Because the universe thinks you're being a spoilt brat. To combine the first two points, take the time, make moments to practise gratitude and watch your world and perception of it change. #life #lifelessons #practise #perfect #gratitude
