#259| Dare To Love – Yourself!

September 16, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 5 Comments

Here in The Swirl World, we’re all about self-love and self-confidence.

Of course we believe in setting goals, up leveling and doing whatever it takes to become better.

Each of us is a work in progress – we get that.

Nevertheless, during the process of going from good, to better, to your best self, we encourage you to love yourself right where you are.

You are unique and special.

So much so, only one edition of you exists!

If you dare to love yourself – and love yourself right, you’ll strive to make choices that are in your best interest.

Yes, you’ll help others and serve mankind, but in doing so you won’t leave you behind.

Go ahead: Dare to love yourself.

Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.

Go ahead.

Love yourself Just. That. Much.

The Swirl World Team is committed to sharing 365 days of inspiration in 2015. Our goal is to help you stay motivated and inspired by bringing you positive, uplifting images and corresponding thoughts.

#257| Do The Work!

September 14, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 2 Comments

Dreams don’t work unless you do.

Sounds simple, doesn’t it?

And yet, far too many live in the dream stage and fail to produce any real effort, or work.

Still others begin to work and then fade away because success doesn’t come fast enough.

Experiencing success in any facet of life – be it a business venture, relationship, losing weight, going to school, whatever – isn’t going to just happen.

Success comes when we do the work.

Wanna make your dreams come true?

Do the work.

#243| One Small Thought

August 31, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

One small positive thought in the morning can set your day right.

Go ahead; get that positive thought firmly fixed in your mind.

The beauty lies in the fact that the thought doesn’t have to be big – it just has to be positive.

One small thought – one small positive thought – can make all the difference in the direction and course of your day.

Set your thoughts, and your day will surely follow.

Here’s to a great day!

#235| What Are You Wearing?

Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can wear.

I’ll take it a step further:

Confidence is the sexiest thing a man can wear.

So, what are you wearing?

#231| Concentrate

August 19, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 6 Comments

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

~Buddha

I challenge you to take a few minutes to clear your mind.

I say “take a few minutes,” because for many of us, clearing our mind can take a little time.

Once your mind is cleared, focus.

After focusing, kick things up a notch, and concentrate.

If you mind tries to race ahead – or if it tries to reflect back – rein it in and think about now.

Concentrate.

Concentrate on the here and now, placing your mind, thoughts and energy squarely in the moment.

Join in the Fray: What happened when you moved from focusing to concentrating? How did you feel? What were your next steps?

#227| Magic Things

August 15, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 2 Comments

Can you discern the sense of wonder and rapture little Iyona (pronounced eye-yon-ah) is experiencing in this photo?

W. B. Yeats says, “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

Though I’m planning to catch up on work this weekend, my goal is to deliberately be on the lookout for magic things: the teasing expression on a friend’s face, the inquisitive tilt of the head of my neighbor’s cute little dog or the chatter of the birds taking advantage of my Mother’s feeder.

I don’t want my senses dulled by busyness or distractions.

I want to see.

I don’t want to miss the magic things.

How about you?

#164| What Do You See?

Pause . . . no, stop.

Look around.

What do you see?

Indeed, beauty is all around us – if we are observant enough to recognize it.

Make time to see the beauty in your surroundings, in your life and in your world.

Beauty is there – do you see it?

#126| Authentic Beauty

May 6, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

Now, don’t get me wrong; I’m totally here for a killer lipstick and great mascara. A light dusting of blush on the apples of my cheeks gives a subtle flush of color.

Combine those elements with my natural curls and I’m pretty much good to go.

Whether you add a few more steps (or none at all) the important component to always have on point is the inner self.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes.

~Sophia Loren

Real beauty – or should I say, authentic beauty – shines from within.

Shine on.

#98| In Her Eyes

April 8, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

“The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.”

~Audrey Hepburn

We all want to look lovely on the outside, yet let’s make sure our true beauty shines from within.
