Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion." That's the thing about opinions, everyone has one.  And many times they don't agree. That's because everyone's opinion is formed by THEIR reality, THEIR perspective, and THEIR conditioning. Your actions will always speak louder than your words.  Your example of how to be kind, inclusive, forg...

Morning Mantra: "Life moves on and so should we." If you are always looking at today through the eyes of the past, you can never see what the present moment has to offer. You need to let it go.  Letting go isn't about having the courage to release the past, it's about having the wisdom to embrace the present. Quote: Spencer Johnson #BeWillingToLetThePastGo #BeHappy #BeHorsey #B...

Morning Mantra: "The world needs what you've got." Each one of us is born with something to give. Each one of us is born with a purpose. Every day is an opportunity to offer your gifts. Every person you meet is someone with which you can share your unique energy. To make a difference in the world you do not have to be rich, famous, beautiful, talented, or perfect.   You don't h...

Morning Mantra: “All frustrations are self-induced. The outside world can invite us to become upset, but we ultimately accept the invitation.” It’s easy and natural to feel frustrated with life. When you do, step back, experience the frustration, and then let it motivate you instead of control you. Frustration occurs when life doesn’t unfold the way you’d like it to. Instead of letting that sense...

Morning Mantra: “I will be okay.” Staying positive does not mean that everything will always turn out okay.  It means that YOU will be okay no matter how things turn out. So when you can’t control what’s happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond.

Morning Mantra: “Distance yourself from people who bring out the person you are trying not to be any more.” There are people in your life who do not have your best interest at heart.  When you are trying to be your best self, there is no room for those people in your life.  Anyone who creates drama, conflict, and stress should no longer a part of the journey. #BeWillingToLetGoToGrow #BeHappy #BeHo...

Morning Mantra: “A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action becomes reality.” It all starts with a dream. But a dream just stays a dream until you take action. The biggest adventure you can ever have is chasing your dreams. So dream it, work hard for it, then help others reach theirs. #BeADreamChaser  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #B...

Morning Mantra: “You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.” Anyone can give up. That’s the easiest thing to do. But to keep going when everyone would understand if you quit, that is when your  strength is revealed. When in doubt, remember how far you’ve come, and that some of the best days of your life haven’t happened yet. #BeStrong #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMa...

Morning Mantra: “I am responsible for the energy I bring.” Everyday when we show up to a space that shares someone else’s energy, we need to hold ourselves accountable for how we impact that space. And when we do, little by little, we create a better space. A more open space. A more inclusive space. A more loving space. A more compassionate space. #BeAwareOfTheEnergyYouBring #BeHappy #BeHorsey #Be...

Morning Mantra: “I don’t need to be saved, I need to be seen.” There is a tendency to try and fix people when they are hurting.  It triggers some kind of reaction in us, so we try to change it or them. It’s really important to meet them where they are, not where we think they should be. Read that again. There is plenty of time for offering alternatives and a way out of their circumstances.  But un...

Morning Mantra: “Be the one who loves you the most.” If you are searching for the one person that can change your life, look in the mirror. If you want to find someone that can love you knowing all your faults and past mistakes, look in the mirror. Today is the day to start. Loving yourself. Respecting yourself. Admiring yourself. Forgiving yourself. Accepting yourself. Everything starts with how...

Morning Mantra: “Be the person you needed when you were young.” Not everyone was blessed with wonderful parents, great teachers and a supportive community.  Ask yourself- “what was missing?”  Did you need more kindness?  More joy?  More understanding?  More attention?  Less drama and more stability? Then be what was missing. Be that person because you never know whose life you might make just a li...

Morning Mantra: “Everyone has inside them a piece of good news.” If we depend on the printed headline for our view of the world it can be quite upsetting and discouraging.  There is a saying in the media, “If it bleeds it leads.” And when you read the news it’s easy to see that they believe this. I’d rather not let them tell me how to view the world, how people are treating each other, and what th...

Morning Mantra: “Your direction is more important than your speed.” You’ll get there.  Just keep moving in the direction of your dreams. No matter how slow the progress. No matter how long it takes. Just keep moving.

Morning Mantra: “A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.” Life is hard for two reasons; because you are leaving your comfort zone, or because you are staying in it. We grow when we stretch our wings.  Life isn’t meant to be lived in a bubble.  You couldn’t even if you wanted to because everything changes, challenges occur, and we are often faced with our limits.  We are...

Morning Mantra: “What you resist, persists.”  We often think that if we resist facing our problems they will disappear.  We think the same thing about change- if we ignore the fact that it needs to happen, we won’t have to do it. It doesn’t work that way.  When you resist you keep yourself in a state of suffering. What you are ignoring is always there, nagging, nudging, distracting you from living...

Morning Mantra: "I don't have time to worry about who doesn't like me. I'm too busy loving the people who love me." Imagine how deep the love you give could be if you took all the energy you use (and waste) fretting about people who treat you poorly, and used it to love those who don't. Just be you.  If they accept you and show you they care- focus on them.  If they d...

Morning Mantra: “Until you know your options you will continue to be stuck.” When you only have one possible path forward, you limit your chance of success. Rather than complaining about the situation, or worrying about possible failure, give yourself more options. Take inventory and ask yourself, what options do you currently have? Then consider, what new options could you develop? Options give y...

Morning Mantra: "Don't base your decisions on the opinion of people that do not have to live with the consequences." There is free advice everywhere. There are always those people that want to tell you what you should do. But they only know what THEY see, which is through the lens of their experiences. All you really can do is listen to YOUR inner voice and follow your heart. Their...

Morning Mantra: "Your ego is not your amigo.” The ego is your self-image. Your social mask. The roles we play.  It thrives on approval, it wants control, and is fueled by power because it lives in fear. Your ego judges. It does not come from a loving place. The ego constantly competes with your soul for control over your inner voice. To become aware of when your ego is driving your thoughts a...

Morning Mantra: “Just watch me!” We all have doubts and fears about our capabilities. If we let them win we miss some amazing possibilities.  If we want to grow, we must step into the fear, face it, and recognize our worth. When the voice in your head whispers  “you can’t do it”, in your loudest voice scream back at it “just watch me!” #BeTheLoudestVoiceInYourHead #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Mor...

Morning Mantra: “There is nothing you can do about the past, but there is everything you can do about your future.” Are there things you wish you had done differently in the past?  We all have times when we wish we had been more attentive, more kind, more considerate, or any number of things.  Whatever you’ve wished you had done differently, this is your chance to do it. This is your opportunity t...

Morning Mantra: “When you feel lost, find your way back to nature.”   If you ever find yourself empty from something you cannot figure out, find your way back to nature.   There, you will find a million simple ways to fill your tired soul so you can remember how to be,  how to see,  and how to breathe. #BeInNature #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie Horse...

Morning Mantra: “You are your home.” Such beautiful words to remind us to take care of our bodies and mind.  Home should be an anchor,  a port in the storm,  a refuge. A happy place in which to dwell, A place that we can love and be loved. The anchor for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. Quote: Maya Angelou  #BeAnAnchor #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeH...

Morning Mantra: "Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know." Everyone understands how hard it is to trust other people after you have been deeply hurt. But rarely does anyone talk about how hard it is to trust yourself after you've had your gut instincts and convictions skillfully undermined by someone. It begins with forgiving yourself. Know that you are allowed to...
