Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment or unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. – Marianne Williamson
Our job is to fill our heart with love. That’s the journey. Simple and sweet. Let’s get going…
I AM love today. I AM love everyday. I AM Love now.
Recommendation: Marianne Williamson – Everyday Grace
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes. – Kenneth Hildebrand
Your purpose, what is it?
Let’s dissect further. You.
It’s your purpose next.
If you haven’t examined your self and your life purpose, now is the time!
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.

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

Follow your bliss. – Joseph Campbell
The words are very precise, Joseph doesn’t say follow your desires or follow your happiness…
Bliss is defined as follows by the Dictionary:
The definition begs the question, what is ‘perfect happiness’ and/or ‘spiritual joy’?
We must answer that for self. And to answer that question we must know self.
So know self first, understand what makes us happy for the long run, understand our bliss and follow it…
Today I AM following my bliss. I notice what makes me happy. I understand the tasks that fulfill me. I recognize the people who lift me and complete me. I find happiness assisting others. I AM guided by Spirit which gently leads me to a state of spiritual joy. I see God in everyone else and my whole day is blissful!

The problem with winning the rat race is you’re still a rat. – L.M. Montgomery
We are all like rats aren’t we? We go milling about, with our nose to the ground, just like rats, looking for that elusive thing or person that will truly satisfy our deepest desires.
We satisfy some desires, are never deeply satiated, and move on to the next thing! We repeat this process while enjoying some bliss, enduring pain and experiencing loads of worry and anxiety.
To what end?
What’s our goal?
Till when?
What’s next?
What would happen if the rats stopped, looked around, even looked above? What’s the way out? Lot’s of questions to ponder and ruminate on!
Today I AM consciously exiting the rat race! I’ll seek deeper meaning in life and think about grander goals. I’ll reflect more often and be aware of my thoughts and intentions. By doing so I’ll allow the Spirit in me to have more leeway over me. As I deepen this partnership life will become even more amazing and the opportunities to love and serve will accelerate!

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

I need you as much as you need me. To show me the way, to give me each day, and to go where I couldn’t otherwise go. – The Universe
We are unique and mini instances of creator-hood here on earth. God created his family and shared a lot of himself with us. We are his eyes and ears in time and space. Even though he’s perfect, without us God feels incomplete. We matter to him. Let’s step up to this glorious opportunity!
Today I AM God’s gift to mankind 
! My brothers and sisters around me, are a gift to me. I experience each moment and event like it was my last day on earth. I AM fully present and available. I relish life. I AM joyous and can’t stop counting my blessings!
