The only person who should ever have to live by your standards … is you! – The Universe
We all have high standards. Which is why we often get irked by what others do. Why don’t they get it?? How about us? Are we living up to our own standards?

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. – Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Let’s throw off the assumptions that chain our lives. Let’s be born again! Resolve to think afresh and anew. We won’t accept limitations that others place upon us. We are creative and unique beings like no other in all time and space! We will claim our uniqueness, stamp life with our signature and relish our personal impact!
Each moment we breathe is like no other before it. Each day is new. We can’t let the failures of the past hold us back. We will start designing our future life, today, NOW!
Daily Affirmation: 2014 will be my best year yet!!

Don’t seek reality, just put an end to opinions. – Sheng-ts’an (Zen Monk)
Our mind loves to compare.
Notice how we do that. We examine one object, situation or person then compare it with something else. This constant comparison is a major cause of the constant chatter in our minds. Let’s recognize that, and find peace.
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM simply observing…

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. – Jack Kornfield
What do we tell ourselves? What’s the story we repeat? Are we masters of our own thoughts? Do we take care of our physical and mental self?
What do we say about others behind their backs? What do we do for others? Do we know now why we’re happy or not?
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy and I know why!

Only those who give over all desire to reject can know that their own rejection is impossible. – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)
Mind is the laboratory and thoughts the instruments we use to create our life. Once we know how much our thinking impacts our life we realize the importance of designing our thoughts! Let’s be artists and paint beautiful thoughts for us and everyone else…
How do we view life? How do we approach and judge people? The way we show up is how life shows up for us. The way we judge others (the energies we unleash), we are judged too, in other words ‘what goes around comes around’. Our judgmental thoughts follow the trajectory that we’ve triggered which is why we must design even our judgments!
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a thought designer!
Recommendation: : A Course in Miracles by Dr. Helen Schucman
Everyone is responsible for the thoughts they think and the things that they choose as their objects of attention. – Abraham
It matters where we put our attention. Can we be masters and guide our minds appropriately? It really is up to us.
We are creators. Our creation comes from our attention, our thoughts and consequently our actions. Let’s be bold and create something beautiful in our lives. What’s stopping us?
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a bold creator!

Compel your lower nature to obey your higher nature... – The Urantia Papers
The lower nature is that which frets, worries, fears, feels less than, is jealous, always wants more and never satiated.
The higher nature is that which loves, is kind, serves, is confident, has faith, is peaceful, thoughtful, deliberate, motivated, and has a higher purpose.
We are and can be victims of genetics and generational, racial and national thought patterns. It can be tough to fight these built-in inertial forces. Because we are will creatures, it’s our prerogative and should be our life-goal to grow and design our life. Which is why we have a mind that’s really under our control. If such is not the case then how can we assert control? Who’s the boss?
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM the boss!
