Why We’re Blest!

When such as I cast out remorse

So great a sweetness flows into the breast

We must laugh and we must sing,

We are blest by everything,

Everything we look upon is blest. 

William Butler Yeats

blest

It’s mostly up to us, how we see our selves, our surroundings and life itself. As we see, so we project, as we project, our life is created. You are the architect of your life. Never blame others or circumstances. Ask self first, how should I react, what can I do…? When we see life as holy, ourselves as holy, we bless everything as life itself blesses us!!

affirmations

I AM blessed. I AM happy. I laugh and I sing. I rejoice. All is well, and it always ends well. I AM grateful for it all and can’t wait for the next adventure to begin! Thank you God, for everything!

Is God Around?

I will speak to you if you listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways.  – Neale Donald Walsch

in all ways

The creator, the universal creative essence, indwells us. That presence is always available. We may not know it because we may not have paid attention. When we get that flash of inspiration or that kind thought for someone else, that’s God talking. If we practice listening we’ll be amazed at how integrated God is into our lives! He has always been present, and in ‘all ways’ has he made his presence felt, if we but listen and pay attention. A technique developed by Carl Jung called Active Imagination can help us connect! And of course stillness helps!

affirmations

I AM God’s child. My Father is always present. My Mother gently guides me. I AM in a universal playground where everyone’s ultimately safe. I enjoy the daily adventure and worry not about where I go. The past is done and has no negative hold on me. I flourish in the Now and AM thankful for all I manifest.

How To Achieve Our Destiny!

Destiny is not a matter of chance;

it is a matter of choice.

It is not a thing to be waited for;

it is a thing to be achieved. 

William Jennings Bryan

destiny

It’s our life and our destiny that we control; by our thoughts, determinations, agreements, affirmations, assumptions, desires, habits, actions and goals!

Let’s talk about agreements today, what are they? They are larger assumptions that we live by. An example might be: ‘My parents divorced when I was a kid, no one really loves me, not even God’. Another one could be: ‘I’ve failed in many of my major endeavors in life, I can’t make a success out of anything’. Such basic but major assumptions define, to a large extent, what we’ll experience in life. We do learn a lot from adversity so is it worthwhile to try and create a perfect life? God does want us to be happy but she also wants us to grow as humans into reliable and mature beings. So in my opinion the attempt to use the ‘Law of Attraction’ to create an ideal life is a little misplaced. A truly fulfilling life can only be obtained when our life is in lock-step with the Universal Mind, God’s Will. Living with God as our partner is to actually fulfill our destiny. Let’s ponder that…

affirmations

Today I know I AM loved and cherished by God. My life and every decision I make is worthwhile. I make great choices and take care of my physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Everyone adores me because I care for them and am selfless in my actions towards them. Life has never been better and I welcome a constant partnership with God as I take each step forward. Thank you God, I appreciate it all!

Who Should We Blame?

Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first.  – Mark Twain

the blame game

How many times can we catch ourselves blaming another or getting angry at someone because of what we think they did to us? If we believe that our thoughts create our reality then it’s obvious that what we’re experiencing now is likely the result of our previous thought streams. Or if we believe in God then we might also believe that God or her angels arrange certain difficulties for us, just so that you can grow and experience life in a certain way. No matter what we believe taking the onus on self can be very liberating, we’re suddenly in charge of our life! We’re responsible to self and for self. We may give others the credit but not the blame. What will we create?

affirmations

I AM a creator of my experiences and my world. I choose that which serves God’s purpose for my life. I AM fearless and feel guided daily. I listen carefully and follow the clues that abound. I AM blessed because I AM a child of God. I have the Midas touch. I succeed even when I apparently fail. I know the value of love, the currency of this Universe and I create love with my every thought and action…

What Are We Creating?

A mirror never lies, and neither does time or space as a reflection of what you’re thinking. If you put it out there, it has to come back. No matter how much it weighs, glitters, or costs. It’s the law.The Universe

the law

A lot of what happens in our lives is a reflection of our habitual thoughts. We are creators put on Earth by the Creator. Part of the reason we’re here is to recognize our creative abilities. Let’s pay close attention to our thoughts, because they do design our lives.

affirmations

Today I AM aware of each thought that I craft. I also pay attention to what my expectations are in life and in my relationships. I question my assumptions and choose only those that serve me. I AM a creator and take this status seriously. I do good wherever I go and I only chose the most lovely thoughts…

Why Smile?

Actually, smiling or laughing for no reason at all is one of the best reasons to smile or laugh. Because doing either, turns wheels in the unseen, rearranges players in your life, and summons reason after reason after reason. Grins.The Universe

grin Smile

Let’s smile more. Laughter should be common-place in our lives. If we can’t enjoy and appreciate our lives daily, then life isn’t worth living. We make it more worthwhile by laughing and smiling often. Let’s just do that!

affirmations

Today I AM smiling. I smile on my face and on the inside. I love life! I appreciate all that I AM and that I have. I smile when I wake up. I laugh at everything silly and funny. I smile when I spot a family member or a friend. I smile when I see another smile. I laugh often. Life couldn’t be better!
