Morning Mantra: "Anger and resentment are like embers held in the hand; they also burn the one who holds them." Maybe you think that it’s OK to hold onto resentment when life feels unfair. Or maybe like a vine growing slowly over time, these negative reactions become a habit that you don’t even realize you are doing. There can be a flickering comfort in anger or resentment. It can feel like a shield, a way to stay in control when things feel chaotic. But that warmth is fleeting. Before you know it, you are carrying a heavy burden in your mind.  You’ll find yourself at odds with everything, including traffic, the weather, your circumstances, or maybe even the reflection in the mirror. When your heart is full of these heavy shadows, the light of peace and love cannot find a place to rest. Anger and hatred can gently fade your joy and quiet your laughter. But if you realize this, a beautiful shift happens. You will see that you have a choice. You can choose the path of letting go. It begins by noticing these feelings as they arise and greeting them mindfully, then choosing peace and letting them go. You can choose to be kind to yourself and let go of this heavy darkness, and you will unlearn these old ways of reacting. And take control over your responses to life. #BeMindfullyPeaceful #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "When you let things slide to 'keep the peace' around you, make sure you are not ignoring the peace within you."  Keeping the peace does not mean keeping secrets, walking on eggshells, pretending things are healthy when they are not, ignoring their poor choices, tip toeing around the truth, or making yourself small.  Agreeing to things just to keep the peace is actually a trauma response. When you do this you are disrespecting YOUR inner peace, your boundaries, your needs. Inner peace is not attained by ignoring problems, but by solving them.  Don't sacrifice your peace to keep the peace with others. #BeAtPeaceWithYourself #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "You are the creator of your own life.  You are responsible for what you choose to do with it."  You cannot shortcut your life. The value of your life depends on you. You cannot take it from someone else, or borrow it, or inherit it, or marry it, or just get lucky and happen upon it. You must produce it. The good news is that each day is full of incredible opportunity.  Each day you have the opportunity to move yourself in the direction of your dreams,  by your own effort,  by your own commitment,  by your own focus,  by jumping into the adventure of life and getting your hands dirty. Life must be lived, and the challenges must be met, by your own strength, discipline and character. #BeACreatorOfAGoodLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Peace is not a destination. Peace is the way."   If any of you have seen the videos of the Monks on their 2,300 mile Walk For Peace, then you understand this concept.  It is so inspiring to see them tackle weather extremes, traffic, health setbacks and the hours and hours of walking, with mindful peace. If they teach us anything it is that we should live each day in peace.  We do this by letting go of the emotions from the ego.  Fear, blame, resentment, hostility, hatred and guilt.  There can be no inner peace if we hold onto these. Replace them with kindness, love, and forgiveness. Look past the things that usually annoy you. Marvel at the beauty of the world in which you live.  Accept things as they are instead of always pushing, pulling, and forcing.  It accomplishes nothing. Make a conscious effort to reach your goals in a measured and determined way. Use your judgment not as a weapon for putting others down, but as a tool for building your own character. Decide to live this day in peace. See how powerful that can be. {{To see the Monks during their finals days of their journey search FB for Walk for Peace }} #BeAtPeace  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "People will love you. People will dislike you. And none of it will have anything to do with you." People think, react, behave, and care from their level of consciousness. That's all they can do.  Their personal story and experiences shape they way they do all of these. They will judge others from this perspective. When they judge you it's not really about you.  It's about their own insecurities, limitations and needs, so changing yourself to please them won't change any of those. Remember this and stay kind. Stay committed to love and be free in your authenticity. #BeCommiittedToBeYou #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #JorseHippie #HorseHippieBrand #HorsehippieBoutique #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Your dream doesn't have an expiration date. Take a deep breath and try again. " Try. Try again. Try once more. Try differently. Try again tomorrow. Try and ask for help. Try and find someone who's done it before. Keep trying until you succeed. Just keep trying. #BeWillingToTryAndTryAgain #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "The world needs more makers, they make the world better." Go make something today. Make a memory. Make time for yourself or others. Make art. Make someone smile. Make a ruckus. Make a story. Make a friend. Make an effort. Make music. Make a change. Make peace with yourself. Make history. Make a meal. Make love. Make a difference. The world needs more makers.  They enrich our world. They make it more beautiful, more functional, more resilient and more connected. #BeAMaker #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Someday it is going to make sense"  A lot of what is happening in the world right now doesn't make sense.  It's not what we are used to.  It's like humanity is being cracked open and the ugly is being revealed.   It doesn't make sense why we are were we are.  I'm certain that eventually it will, but until then... smile at the confusion,  laugh through the tears, be kind to yourself,  and trust the process. Because there is kindness, and love, and beauty too.  And it will outshine the darkness. #BePatient #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Your opinion of me is a reflection of you." Everyone has a different mental mindset that gives them a unique perspective on things, including other people. They see mostly what they want to see, for their personal views and agenda.  Make peace with the fact that people hold different versions of you in their mind.  Love yourself and know yourself well enough to never get caught up in their projections. Ultimately, who you know yourself to be is what matters the most. #BeYourself #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Your life's course will not be determined by doing the things you are certain you can do. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard." It’s difficult to get back up and get going again when you’ve been repeatedly knocked down. It’s difficult, but it's not impossible. It’s difficult to move forward with enthusiasm and energy when much of what you encounter is negative and discouraging. That’s certainly difficult, but it's not impossible. It’s easy to know what you must do. It’s much more difficult to actually do it, yet it’s not impossible. The very fact that something is difficult probably means it is worth doing. Those who overcome and achieve their goals are those who are willing to do the difficult stuff. #BeWillingToDoWhatsDifficult  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."  For a moment pretend your life is a house.  You usually go room to room looking for work to be done, and things that happened that need to be fixed. It's so overwhelming that you decide to just live with it.  You pretend not to notice the damage, you just push the feelings created down deeper. Today, for a change, when you go through the rooms, instead of looking for flaws and mistakes, look for potential, for promise.  Look at it with a different perspective. Look for simple changes that can free you from the burdens. Look at it with the understanding that change is hard but worth it. Our lives reflect our past but we should not dwell there. We should not get used to the pain.  We have the power to change the outcome.  We have the power to create something beautiful. #BeWillingToChangeTheEnding #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Get glowing. The world needs your magic."  Every single person has a gift that is so unique to them that the world wouldn't be the same without it.  That gift is you and your energy.  We are all connected, so when you uncover your dreams and passions and share them with the world, everyone benefits.  Share your ideas, your creativity, your time, your support, your love. You are a gift, a beautiful, magical gift, it's time to start believing this and sharing it. So let's get glowing! #BeAGiftGiver #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Stop watering dead relationships and expecting them to grow." Letting go of someone who doesn’t respect you is one of the bravest things you can do.  So please don’t stay in a bad relationship out of fear or insecurity. I never thought about how hard it was to leave a toxic relationship until I had one. After being in one, I realized how a person could be your world and at the same time be the reason why you believed you couldn’t be loved and treated the way you deserve to be. That’s why people stay with them for years, even while being unhappy and an unfulfilled. But leaving taught me something I never imagined – it showed me my own strength. It reminded me that love should never come with the cost of my self-worth.  Walking away wasn’t easy, but it was the first step towards finding myself again. And in doing so, I opened the door to the love and peace I truly deserved all along. #BeWillingToStopWatering #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Don't focus so much on the To Do list, that you forget about the To Be list."  It's okay to want to be productive, but in our increasingly demanding world, sometimes getting things done comes at the expense of your happiness, your peace, your relationships and your health. Especially in the US, over working can be seen as some sort of positive attribute. Some even wear their exhaustion like a badge of honor. Skipping meals, lack of sleep and missing time with friends and family is not something to be applauded.  Remember to take time to rest, recharge, restore, and try not to feel guilty about it, that just defeats the purpose. #BeWillingToRest #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotesforRiders #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "Everything is a win when the goal is experience." When I taught riding lessons and took my students to horse shows I used to tell them that they will either win or learn.  So basically there is no losing.  Life is one long lesson.  We learn with everything we do. We spend every day making choices. Sometimes it's a simple choice- not really going to impact the rest of your life- like what to order in a new restaurant.  Other times the choices are huge- like whether to take a certain job or to get married. In every choice we learn.  We gain experience. In our examples above- if we order the wrong thing we learn what not to order next time, if it's something really great we win.  Either way we win. If we take a job and the company atmosphere is toxic- we learn.  If it's the best job ever- we win. Again- both wins. As with everything in life- it is our response to our choices that matters.  It's our attitude about the outcome that determines our happiness.  If you look at things as a learning experience, not as life punishing you, even the losses become wins. #BeAboutExperience #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique
