A Perfect Gift?

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.  – George MacDonald

gift

Everyday living, slowly turns our thoughts and actions, harsh and selfish. That’s if we don’t tend our garden within, water it and nourish it. The way to nourish our inner life is by:

  1. Becoming aware of our thoughts as much as possible.
  2. Being aware of what we put into our minds, like the stuff we read and what we think.
  3. Allowing peace and love to sink in via meditation, prayer and Now time.
  4. And by consciously giving loving thoughts and crafting acts of love and service towards others.

It’s all about cultivating loving awareness and making it a gift to others…

affirmations

Today I AM love itself. I dwell in love and pay attention to others. I nourish my relationships with buckets full of love and care. And I listen…

How To Find Any Solution!

It’s not knowing what the answer or solution is, but simply knowing that there is one, which brings it forth.  – The Universe

it’ll happen!

We are creators. It’s our job to create new things and solutions from new ideas and dreams. Have you noticed that we often find answers when we least expect them? During such times we’re doing what we need to do and the right ingredients come together, magically. It just happens. If we trust it, and allow it, it’ll happen.

affirmations

Today I AM trusting that there is an answer. I trust and it appears! I know I AM a creator child of God. I use my thoughts for the highest purposes. I dream and act as though it’ll just work out, and it does!

How To Have An Open Mind

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.  –Gerry Spence

wonder

And that’s what all belief does, it closes our mind to something greater and richer. Don’t get me wrong, belief is good and serves a great purpose, we just have to be prepared to adopt a higher or wider understanding of anything and everything as we grow. An open mind filled with wonder, curious to know and learn, is just a wiser mind.

affirmations

I AM full of wonder today! I wonder about life and about the riches the future will continue to bring. I feel wonder when I observe the Truth, Beauty and Goodness I encounter daily. Life itself is wondrous and I can’t stop marveling at God’s handiwork…

How To Conquer Fear…

To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.  – Bertrand Russell

fear

Fear is our constant nemesis. How do we defeat it? Do we need to defeat it though? What if we embrace each fear to try and experience the very worst (in our minds) that’s possible? What happens then? When we do so with full awareness, from our center, the fear tends to melt away. We understand better whence it arose and why it has such a hold on us.

affirmations

Today I AM bold. I see each fear arising within me and I embrace it. My fears have no chance if I become fully aware of them and let them run their course. I AM a child of God, nothing can hurt me!

How To Ensure Happiness…

Happiness exists when the mind does not move away from itself, when it remains in the present time zone, when it declines to contrast itself with another time or another condition.Vernon Howard

happiness

Whenever we contrast our present condition to another time then unhappiness is an inevitability. In the moment we experience this contrast within our minds, we’re no longer in the present moment. When we’re not in the present moment, our mind has moved ‘away from itself’, and therein lies the problem…

affirmations

Today I AM content with what is. I trust that my future is under the care of the all loving and powerful Father and Mother. This contentment and trust allows me to fully inhabit the present moment. I AM happy…
