Counselor's Corner: Remain hopeful and positive

By Fred Cavaiani

These are simple quotes I have collected over the years to remind me how to stay hopeful and positive in the present moment.

Life is filled with the presence of God.

Each moment of life is a gift  to be embraced so we can go deeper into our journey through life.

To remain hopeful is to remain loving toward everyone.

People might change when we shower them with love.

People resent criticism and condemnations and will find it hard to look at their own limitations.

Love helps everyone to look deeper in life.

Never be a hook for another person to put their hangups on. This is what criticism of another person does.

God is much bigger than any religious denomination.

Religion is not God but is to help us find and experience God in a deeper manner.

Anger is always a block to going deeper into our feelings.

The more I invest in criticism of other people the more miserable I become.

The more I invest in kind words and actions, the happier I become and my body becomes relaxed.

The more, quiet time I spend with God, the more I discover myself in a positive manner.

Be always loving and kind and the world will begin to change into a more loving planet.

Angry and critical people run away from happiness and peace.

Being loving in the present moment is the entranceway into a peaceful life and a positive experience of God.

When we rush through life, we miss so much peace and joy.

Life is very simple: Be quiet and listen. Be reflective and receive God’s loving presence. Be loving and experience the joy and love of God.

Never run away from emotional pain. The embrace of our pain and struggles brings inner freedom and profound insight.

Only in being loving and kind and quietly turned toward God will my soul be at rest.

Never rush to the next moment.

Journey through life slowly, lovingly and reflectively.

Each moment becomes a doorway into an eternal life of love and joy.
