Why Smile?

Leave a comment

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!

Why Let Go?

Leave a comment

Vex not they spirit at the course of things; they heed not they vexation. – Marcus Aurelius

let god

We should have ambitions and make plans. Then leave the result to God. It pays not to worry or hassle over things that we don’t control. In fact by worrying we lessen our own preparedness to tackle life and the challenges it throws at us.

Let’s flow with this river called time, let things take their course, maintain a peaceful stance, do all we can, and let go…

affirmations

I AM at peace today. God’s in charge. I must worry not. His plans always work out for the best. Who am I to know why things happen the way they do? I prepare, I act, I enjoy, and leave the results to the Universe.

What’s Impossible?

Leave a comment

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done. – Henry Ford

impossible?

Henry Ford knew that he wanted folks with enthusiasm and passion, folks with the spirit that would push beyond obstacles considered impossible with prior knowledge! What we know sometimes works against us. Humanity has an often hidden indomitable spirit which cannot spring into action if we’re not psychologically ready. To achieve the difficult and even the impossible, our frame of mind must be one of extreme positivity and selective ignorance. After all we create our own future!

affirmations

I AM ready now. I can handle anything thrown at me. I AM quick and agile. I know that I can achieve what I set out to do. I AM guided by God and all things are possible for the one who believes. Life flows smoothly and all is well.

How To Live Strong!

Leave a comment

Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes. – Kenneth Hildebrand

a life of purpose

Your purpose, what is it?

Let’s dissect further. You.

  • Who are you?
  • What’s your place in this Universe?
  • Where are you headed?
  • Why do you matter?

It’s your purpose next.

  • Why do you exist?
  • What meaning does your life and activities have?
  • What difference are you meant to make?

If you haven’t examined your self and your life purpose, now is the time!

affirmations

I AM a purposeful child of God! I AM directed by Spirit and am confident that I AM moving in the right direction. Everywhere I look I see signs that guide me. God has a divine purpose for me. I discover a bit of that purpose daily. I understand why people are so important. I care more for people than things. I look for opportunities to love and serve. I AM supremely thankful for this gift that I AM living.

How Can We Get There?

Leave a comment

Perfections of means and confusion of goals seem – in my opinion to – characterize our age. – Albert Einstein

which goal, how?

We think we know what we want and we also think we know how to get there. Often we’re mistaken on both counts.

If we don’t know what we really want, the ways we choose to get to those goals don’t matter. If we know what we want but the methods we choose are not the right ones, then it gets frustrating. Which is why frustration abounds on this planet. We’re focused on some goal, through means that we try and perfect. As we try and perfect these means we forget our end goal, we get lost in the means, along the way… We must know and remember what we truly desire. It’s important that we follow our North Star! Do we know how to find it? Do we know how to stay on track?

affirmations

Today I AM guided by my internal North Star. I get still and listen. I follow the prompts from my ‘still, small voice’. I also look for the constant clues that surround me. The Universe is a living entity that constantly guides me. I AM protected and safe. I play in a most fancy and interactive playground. I like to play, and I enjoy living! I AM very thankful.

Why To Kick The Comfort Zone?

Leave a comment

One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. – Andre Gide

growth

It’s that comfort zone again, that keeps drawing us down and forces us to cruise along blissfully neglecting our own growth. Growth is very important. Why? Because without the sense of achievement that comes from meaningful growth we feel empty, unfulfilled and depressed about life.

We must have meaningful goals to achieve, and constantly so. That doesn’t mean we have to be driven like rats. We can stay mindful, calm and know that we pursue worthwhile goals without neglecting what’s important in the Now. And growth ought to be balanced across the physical, mental (emotional) and spiritual dimensions.

affirmations

I AM a free child of God. I AM fearless. I can take on new goals and projects without apprehension. I understand that at one level all life is play and that I AM a child in a playground. I explore and I conquer. And I do it with all kinds of invisible help from the Universe. I AM blessed, just like everyone else!
