How To Be Happier!

Leave a comment

Your happiness grows in direct proportion to your acceptance and in inverse proportion to your expectations. – Michael J. Fox

acceptance/expectations!

Wow isn’t that true? When we accept life as it is, flow with the river that is time, we experience an equanimity, we experience peace. We can still have ambitions and goals but we don’t tie self to the outcome that’s all. We understand that all life and its experiences have a purpose and we try to fathom that purpose. In addition, when we have no expectations of anyone else our life problems are solved! Doesn’t mean that we don’t tell others what bothers us, but we’re not hurt by what they say or do. How? By understanding their humanness and by knowing that we decide how we react, not they.

affirmations

Today I AM accepting life just as it is. I AM accepting everyone just as they are. I expect life to be great, that’s all, without being specific. I AM happy and I deserve to be!

Tomorrow is a new day! This next moment is a fresh moment! A moment in which we can reset life, gain a new perspective, become more courageous and face life like the children of God that we are! How will we accept this treasure, this gift, called Time?

affirmations

Today I seize each moment as a fresh one! I AM starting anew. I let the shackles from yesterday drop. I adorn hope, which is tomorrow. I AM a child of God and welcome this never-ending and ever-expanding adventure called Life!

How To Live…

Leave a comment

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. – Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

a quality life

Goethe refers to living a life of quality. That’s one in which we appreciate Beauty in thought and in form. It’s a life where we acknowledge and accept Truth in any form that we behold it. And one where Goodness in action and being is considered a great way to live.

Attention to Truth, Beauty & Goodness will sculpt a life well lived, a life that’s fulfilling at the deepest level, one that is full of Love and its expression.

affirmations

Today I live a quality life! I pay attention to the True, the Beauty and the Goodness around me and in others. I take it easy because there’s really no hurry. Consequently I can truly enjoy life and its bounties. I truly listen to nature and to my brothers and sisters. Life is good and it’ll never be any other way!

How To Enjoy Now

Leave a comment

No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.

– John Greenleaf Whittier

now

To inhabit the present moment is not an easy undertaking. But there’s a way! The trick is to look for what’s ‘good’, what’s great, true and beautiful, around us in the moment. Let’s remind ourselves to do that and we’ll become masters of the now moment!

affirmations

I AM a now person. I love being present. I seek all that’s good and beautiful around me. I feel good when I do that. All of the Universe’s goodness flows to me and through me when I AM fully present!

Why Be Kind?

Leave a comment

To err on the side of generosity, patience, and kindness…is not to err. – The Universe

the right way

The ‘right’ way of living is to live the way of love. To love God and to love our neighbors like self was the supreme commandment given by Jesus. Buddha taught compassion. There has to be a reason why all religions teach the way of gentleness, kindness and caring. What is that reason?

affirmations

Today I AM gentleness personified. I AM gentle because I have no concerns in life. All is taken care of for me. I do not need to compete nor worry about how the Universe will shower its bounty on me. I just go about loving and serving and that’s my only job. Well other than to be happy, but then how can I not be happy if I AM loving?

How To Feel Better…

No longer value your complaints, for they are worthless.  – Vernon Howard

time wasted

We can always find something in our lives that’s not working. We can complain about people and what they did or didn’t do or about things the way they ought to be. Any time spent on grievances is time wasted and energy lost.

joy

What’s the opposite of a grievance? It’s gratitude of course. While complaints sap us of energy, appreciation and gratitude fill us with the right stuff. Feeling down? Be thankful, express gratitude…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM grateful inside and out!
