Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Morning Mantra: "If you want to right a wrong, you must first accept that you were wrong." Why do we hold onto being right over being kind?  Over being loving? Over being compassionate? Letting go of your attachment to being right is hard, but it opens the door to learning, to understanding, to growing as a person. Admitting that you were wrong is difficult because it implies that you ne...

Morning Mantra: "Replace 'I have to...' with 'I get to...' and see how your day changes." Remember, most of your stress is self-created.  It comes from the way you respond, not the way life is. One simple way to help change this is to change your perspective about things you must do. Instead of saying, "I HAVE to go to work", try saying "I GET to go to...

Morning Mantra: "The world is full of promise,  hope, and beauty, have the courage to look for it, and let your life soar." Dream big dreams. Give thanks for all you have.

Morning Mantra: "If you had it all figured out today, there would be nothing to learn tomorrow." Most fears are just unexplored concerns that you won't be able to figure things out, to adapt to change, or be able to keep going when faced with challenges. You will. You've made it this far. Give yourself some credit and know that you'll figure out the second step if you just...

Morning Mantra: "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." We all can look at the same thing and see it differently.  Our view is shaped by our experiences, our culture, our relationships, our conditioning, and our consciousness. We simply assume that the way WE see things, is the way they are. Some people see the world as good and their lives as a gift. Other...

Morning Mantra: "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." MLK Jr Be someone that loves harder than the hate around them. Be someone that chooses to be kind in an often unkind world. Be someone that understand that compassion, not judgement, is the lens we should look through. Love includes. Hate divides. Love offers hope. Hate is despair. Love is light. Hat...

Morning Mantra: "Feelings are like waves, we can't stop them from coming, but we can choose which ones to surf." When tough times come your way, you really only have two options;   You can either fight the waves or you can ride them.

Morning Mantra: "If you don't recognize that perfect is the enemy of good, you'll miss a lot of joy." Stop trying to be perfect, it's not possible. It can actually have the reverse affect on your happiness.  For no one and nothing is perfect, and if that is the standard you have set, you will constantly be unhappy, and you will miss the wonder in the average, or good enoug...

Morning Mantra: "The size of your problems is nothing compared to your ability to solve them."  Never overestimate what's going against you, and underestimate what is WITHIN you. If you want to make a lasting change, forget about the size and scope of what needs to be done, because that can affect your ability to do it.   Just dig deep, take a step in that direction, and remember yo...

Morning Mantra: "Kindness is loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness."  We should all be lifting each other up and helping each other out, not trying to outshine one another. Be the light that helps others see theirs, the sky would be awfully dark with just one star. #BeHepful #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Morning Mantra: "Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever." If you never try you'll never know. So do it! Try it! Don't worry about whether it will work out.  Don't worry about what other people might say. If you want to worry, worry about how you will feel if you never even try. #BeOpenToTheAdventureOfLife  #BeHappy #BeHors...

Morning Mantra: "Respond with grace, even when others don't." Grace is recognizing that we all stumble, we all are a work in progress.   Grace extends forgiveness, patience and understanding to others because we know how much we needed at times. Grace is loving more and judging less. Grace leaves people better than it found them. #BeAGraceGiver #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHip...

Morning mantra: "If people doubt how far you can go, go so far you can't hear them anymore." People that doubt, judge, and disrespect you are not worth your time.

Just keep shining your light, in the direction of your dreams. #BeWillingToIgnoreTheDoubters #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horsehippie #MorningMan...

Morning Mantra: "It's a slow process but quitting won't speed it up." Growth, change, chasing your dreams, becoming, discovering. All. Take. Time. Never give up on something because of the time it will take, the time will pass anyway.  And when you look back you'll see that the struggle, the setbacks, and the effort, were there to motivate you. To help you recognize that t...

Morning Mantra: "Find your WHY and you'll find your WAY." When you discover your WHY you uncover your passion, your purpose, and your reason to keep going when you want to give up. When your WHY is big enough you'll find your HOW. Your WHY gives your life meaning, it frees you, challenges you, offers you joy and excitement. There is no set path to life but your WHY is your comp...

Morning Mantra: "You have no competition when it comes to being you." There is no one else, anywhere, who has your own special combination of skills, interests, relationships, knowledge, values and experience. You’re the only one there is. And therein lies your super power.  No one can take it.  No one can do you exactly like you do. Embrace who you are. Own who you are. Love who you are...

Morning Mantra: "Now is as good a time as any." Accept where you are, then decide where you want to be. Know that there is a path from one to the other. Even if that path isn't clear, start.

Blame may be justified but it won't move you...

Morning Mantra: "Your energy will either amplify the light in others or trigger the shadows in them."

In science it's called sympathetic vibrations when you meet someone (or are in a sustained relationship) and it's easy, and drama free.  You are vibrating at...

Morning Mantra: "Grace is the face that love wears when it meets imperfection." Nobody's life is lived in a straight line. Nobody's life makes perfect sense. Everyone's life has twists and turns, and everyone has to turn around once in awhile. Accept this in yourself and in others with grace. In life only three things really things matter; How much you love, How gently you...

Morning Mantra: "Be the energy you want to attract." Be the reason someone feels loved. Be the reason they feel seen, heard, and supported. Be the reason they feel welcomed, and valued. Don't be the reason they feel insecure, hurt, ignored, or unlovable. Give good energy to the world. Life is as simple as that. #BeAGiverOfGoodness #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMa...

Think about the ways that you can make your dreams reality, how you can be of service to others, and of ways to  carry the magic of gratit...

Morning Mantra: "There is a HUGE amount of freedom when you choose to not take everything personally." As humans, we all have a tendency of putting ourselves at the center, and seeing everything—every event, conversation, circumstance, etc.—from the viewpoint of how it relates to us on a personal level.   This can have all kinds of adverse effects, from feeling hurt when other people are...

Morning Mantra: "Those mountains you are carrying you were only supposed to climb." Why is it that we are dealing with a heavy load, we are so reluctant to ask for help? Sometimes asking for help or support is the strongest thing you can do.  It requires you to be vulnerable.  To open your heart to the possibility of rejection. Just remember, YOU are not a burden.  You HAVE a burden whic...
