Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of the state of your mind.” What we see depends mainly on what we look for. We can look at life and see the good or the bad, the beautiful or the ugly.  Both are there, and what we focus on and choose to see, is what brings us feelings of joy or feelings of despair.  Feelings of love or feelings of fear. Feelings of hap...

Morning Mantra: “Behind every strong person is a story that gave them no choice.” We don’t become stronger without struggle.  Whenever you think you don’t have what it takes to get through, remember how much you have already survived. Find your strength in that. #BeStrong #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Morning Mantra: "I dream of a world where I don't need so much armor." It can be a very scary world.  Taking chances in life, and in love, requires us to be open to hurt and disappointment.  It requires us to be vulnerable. Without vulnerability there is no opportunity.  For in all authentic relationships, (including the one with ourselves) we must allow our most vulnerable self to...

Morning Mantra: "It’s not too late to do the things you wished you had done by now.” It’s not too late to start over. It’s not too late to be happy. It’s not too late to change direction, try something new, be a better version of yourself. It’s not too late to forgive a wrong or say ‘I’m sorry.” It’s not too late to chase your dreams. It’s not too late to say this isn’t how the story is going...

Morning Mantra: "More love, less drama."  Life is challenging enough. Don’t make it more challenging by adding unnecessary drama and conflict. When you have the choice between fighting and forgiveness, forgive.  When you have the choice between resentment and reconciliation, seek to reconcile. Be willing to step up to life’s challenges, be ready to stand up for yourself and defend all yo...

Morning Mantra: "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.  We are spiritual beings having a human experience."  Our entire human journey is to get back to our most perfect self.  Who we really are.  In every human experience we get to decide how we will respond towards that goal.   Will we respond as our best self, or with some conditioned response based on our human needs...

Morning Mantra: "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." There is beauty where you are. Do you see it? There is beauty in your soul. Can you feel it? There is beauty in the person standing next to you. Are you able to appreciate it? There is beauty in places where you have never noticed it before. Uncover that hidden beauty, and you’ll discover a whole new level of joyfulness i...

Morning Mantra: "Above all be the heroine of your life, not the victim." There is a difference between giving up and knowing when to quit.  There is a time to persevere and a time to let go, learn the difference and you will save yourself a world of heartache. You don't need to prove anything to anyone.  You don't need to worry about how it will look to others.  Do it for yours...

Morning Mantra: "Imagination is everything. It's the preview of life's coming attractions." You are one thought away from stepping powerfully, and decisively in the direction of your dreams. Reach into the place within, where you nurture the vision of the very best life you can imagine. With all you have, with all you are, feel the beautiful reality of that vision. And KNOW tha...

Morning Mantra: "People start to heal the moment they feel heard." When you make it safe enough for someone to express themselves without needing to respond, defend, or explain, you give them a wonderful gift.   The more they feel safe, the more they will feel heard.  The more they feel heard, the more they can heal. Being heard is so close to being loved that it is almost the same thing...

Morning Mantra: "Don’t define yourself by your past. Define yourself by your possibilities." The version of you that matters now is the version of you going forward. See your life in those terms, from that perspective. The only thing that can really hold you back is your reluctance to try. Don’t worry about whether it’s good enough, just keep moving in that direction. You are never too y...

Morning Mantra: "When the world says 'Give up', Hope whispers 'Try one more time'." As soon as someone believes they can make things better, there is hope. Hopeful thinking acknowledges circumstance and reality without surrendering power to it.  Things are not always OK. In fact, they rarely are. By acknowledging the negative, then focusing on the positive with hope,...

Morning Mantra: "You can lean on me"   Sometimes we need somebody to just be there. Not to fix anything or figure it out. Just to let us feel supported and loved. Even the strongest person needs to know that they have someone that will be there for them.  And when it’s possible we can be that someone. #BeSupportedAndSupportive  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQ...

Morning Mantra: “Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.” When you find yourself with others who are angry, hateful, resentful, discouraged, and critical, is when you can make the most difference by shining your positive light. It is not easy. All too often we react to negativity by being negative. That just escalates the energy.  When those around you are frustrated and impatient, make...

Morning Mantra: “It’s a great time to be alive.”  Think of all the things you have going for you today.  You’re alive, and you’re full of positive energy.  You’re intelligent, effective, and able to accomplish whatever you put your mind to.  You are living in world that is full of opportunities. You are full of passion and purpose.  You have a whole set of unique experiences and perspectives that...

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes, you just need to be." We are constantly seeking... Validation. Love. Peace. Understanding. Knowledge. Rewards. Happiness. Achievement. To be different than we are. There is nothing wrong with going after what you want. But it's just as important to stop and just be. To Reconnect. Re-evaluate. Re-discover. #BeOkayWithJustBeing #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie...

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.  E...

Morning Mantra: “Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.” Airing your grievances can feel good. But then what? It’s fine to acknowledge those problems, but you must choose not to let your life be defined by them. Use that same energy to do the work to create a positive and realistic vision of what you can live for. See how much of your time, energy, focus, and awareness you can put...

Morning Mantra: "Peace is not a destination. Peace is the way." Live each day in peace. Let go of fear and guilt. Replace them with kindness and forgiveness.  Rather than stressing over how to do what’s most impressive, put your energy into doing what is right.  Use your judgment not as a weapon for putting others down, but as a tool for building your own character. Look past the things...

Morning Mantra: “If you really want it you’ll find a way, if you don’t you’ll find excuses.” One of the greatest motivators you will ever know is desire or passion. If the desire is strong enough, you will do whatever it takes to achieve it. How can you make the desire strong enough? First, find what you really, truly want -- not what someone else wants for you, not what others think you should wa...

Morning Mantra: "Don’t wait for happiness and joy to come to you. Let them come from you." Don’t wait for the circumstances to be perfect to feel joy. Circumstances come and go. Let your joy transcend them and transform them.  You have the privilege of being alive and the ability to move beyond any past disappointment, or current stress. Fill your heart with joy and you’ll be amazed at h...

Morning Mantra: "Life is easier when you mind your own business.” Don’t concern yourself with things that don’t concern you. If it’s not your business why make it your burden? Many times we distract ourselves from the things that need fixing in our own life, by trying to fix what's wrong in others.   Focus on your own life and you will be busy enough. #BeWillingToMYOB #BeHappy #BeHorsey...

Morning Mantra: "Words are just words. It's your reaction to them that give them power." When someone says something that upsets you there are two choices; respond or react.  When you respond, you remain in control and have options and more choices. When you react you are allowing others to take control of your boundaries and wreck havoc. If you feel yourself reacting, step away unt...

Morning Mantra: "I love myself. I accept myself. I forgive myself." How much of your life is being affected by your unwillingness to do these three things? The inability to love yourself keeps you in a place of feeling unlovable. The inability to forgive yourself keeps you in a place of shame. The inability to accept yourself as you are keeps you in a place of comparison. Most challenges...

Morning Mantra: "It's always something"   The sooner you accept the fact that there will always be issues, problems, and set backs in your life and adjust your attitude, the sooner you will find happiness. When we constantly see every negative thing as a reason to be unhappy instead of an opportunity for growth, we stay in a state of unhappiness. When we don’t allow set backs to def...
