Healthy Inspiration from SparkPeople

Motivational Quote - Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours.

SparkPeople's Comments

Do you want your everyday life to be more fruitful? Each one of the above recommendations can make this happen. For example, fear often makes people stop trying. You might feel like there is no need to try something because you are scared of failure or you might worry all day after you turn in a project at work because you fear what your boss will think of it. Try to make fear nonexistent. Replace it with hope. Hope that you will succeed or that your boss will love your project. Another recommendation is to replace whining with breathing. Most of us have fits of uncontrollable whining when we want something. Whining will not get you anywhere with anyone for a very long time. Spend your time breathing and preparing your thoughts instead of whining. A quick suggestion from SparkPeople is to print this email out and place this quote somewhere that you face these problems…fear, whining, hate, etc…and read it often to remind yourself of the alternatives.

The comments from JWESLEY10 were very helpful. As I read the comments, something about hope did not ring true, "Hope that you will succeed or that your boss will love your project.". JWESLEY10's comments that hope is not a wish, but a belief that all things will be well makes the quote more meaningful.

JWesley10--- Well said, indeed!

Whine less--- very good advice. Nobody enjoys hearing about aches and pains (ALL the time!)

Great quote, but I would add a little bit different interpretation of the word hope. In the above interpretation, hope is used as wishing that something would happen. In the Christian faith, hope is a virtue that means the firm knowledge that all will be well, that God is watching over us and that "God makes all things work for the good of those who love him..." The virtue of hope brings a strong and abiding inner peace.
