Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.  – Marianne Williamson

joy!

First acknowledge all that’s good and great about what we have and all that we are. Know it and feel it. Express gratitude. Stay in this state as long as you can! Next, flow with life. Because joy is also something that happens when we accept things to be just as they are. And don’t try to fight circumstances. Just flow. Life is good!

Today I AM feeling great because of all that’s working well in my life! All good continues to flow towards me. I flow with Life effortlessly and without anxiety. All is well!

Why We’re Blessed…

Leave a comment

Turn your attention to the many ways in which you are blessed in your life; think of these things with sincerity, and you will discover an endless stream of blessings that come to you. – Teacher Olfana

blessed!

Every time we think, it’s a thought we’re choosing. And each of those times it’s up to us if we want to choose a positive thought or one that doesn’t serve us. If we believe that thoughts that we think today manifest themselves in our lives tomorrow, then all the more reason we want to pick just the right thoughts. We are our own master, let’s not relinquish that right. One great way to have the right kind of thoughts is to keep our focus on what’s working really well in our life. Be thankful. Some of the most powerful ideas that work are that simple.

affirmations

Today I AM looking around and within. I AM extremely grateful and pleased. I AM blessed, thank you God!

Why Be Quiet?

Leave a comment

The quieter you become the more you can hear. – Ram Dass

it’s all good

True silence can do wonders. True silence is that of the mind not that of the audible kind. As we become more still, we can observer better, we listen more intently, we perceive a lot more and our sense of intuition flowers! Inspiration and creativity is heightened when we let our mind settle down naturally.

How do you do that?

Watch yourself. Watch as thoughts arise, notice their origin, and where they lead you. Observe how you act or react to any incident. Get to know yourself intimately, in this fashion. Your effortless watching of self leads to a quiet alertness that connects you to the essence of all that is. A peace beyond understanding, a joy inexpressible, then emerges!

affirmations

Today I AM still. I AM peaceful. I AM connected. I AM joy.

Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from. – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

it’s all good

Do we ever get the feeling that everything’s got to have a purpose, that we have got to have a purpose, otherwise all that we do is for naught? Well that’s exactly how it is. There’s a purpose and a season for everything and everyone.

Questions:

  • What is our purpose in life?
  • What have events in our life prepared us to do, today?
  • Or what are they preparing us to do eventually?

Answers to these questions and real direction can be had if we but “learn to get in touch with silence within yourself”. Are we going to try that?

affirmations

Today I AM still and feeling good. I AM confident that all’s well. I can feel God’s blessings in my life. And am ready to embrace each new moment!

What’s Most Precious?

Leave a comment

Nothing is worth more than this day. – Goethe

precious

How often do we forget? We start thinking each day is just like another, mundane and boring. Don’t we all do that? Why do we forget that each day is truly unique, every moment that we breathe is like none other before? This is actually a testament to God’s creativity that everyone and everything is brand new, moment by moment and daily!

So let’s breathe in this perspective and enjoy each moment as best we can. Enjoy this day as one that’ll be gone forever, soon. Realize that maybe this is the last year of our life, how should we live it? Let’s go kick some tires, smell some roses, peck some cheeks and yell ‘hooray’!

affirmations

Today I AM getting it. This is it and I AM going to make the most of it. I AM blessed and this moment and day is complete. Today I will live it up. And be thankful for everything!
