Every one of us has open hurts likely from an incident or two in our past. What are you pouring into those wounds? Are you pouring cement or love? Cement hardens us; but love opens us up to infinite possibilities. Choose wisely what you pour because if you do not transform your pain, you will transmit it to the people you care about…
Homework:
Do you find yourself hardening your outer shell to keep others out?
Do you have any possibilities that require you to pour more love?
Our deepest beliefs come to light in the life we are living. Whatever you have going on in your life, look at the beliefs/thoughts you have had that support what is happening. For example; if you do not have enough abundance in your life, change the limiting thoughts, such as, “I never have enough…” that you think throughout the day. If you are dreaming of abundance and don’t have it, sift your beliefs/thoughts to affirm your dream, “I attract more than I need”, or “I am worthy of abundance”!
Homework:
What can you do today to align your beliefs and your dreams?
The world is filled with beauty! If you don’t see any beauty somewhere in your day, you may have forgotten to look recently. I challenge you to seek out in your every day travels things of beauty.
Take a picture and share the beauty you saw. End each day looking in the mirror; my hope is that you will begin to see the beauty I see in you!
Homework:
What beauty can you find in your current surroundings?
What beauty can you identify in yourself?
You choose who you want to be in this world, so choose wisely. If you are quick to anger, replace that reaction with loving thoughts. If you are fearful, replace it with a trust in a foundation that is greater then your worries. It is impossible to be loving and anxious at the same time. For each one of you who insists I do not know what you have been through, that makes you the way you are – the operative word is “through”; otherwise you would still be “in” the situation. If you continue to carry the past, you will surely miss the “present” moment. Let me repeat myself; choose wisely!
Homework: What are the characteristics of whom you really are that you want to share with the world?
What is holding you back from sharing who you are?
Joy is a spiritual union between life’s unsettling moments and knowing you are divinely protected. Joy understands what is happening around you is real, but it does not define you. Joy isn’t an emotion, it’s a quality that resides in each of us; that takes us through life’s negative stuff. Joy is an energy that allows us to see beyond the problems. It’s a faith in something greater than us. Have a Joyful June!
Homework:
What makes you smile that has nothing to do with anyone or anything?
There are others with similar genes to yours, but there isn’t anyone else that is you! That makes you incredible. You are wonderfully unique. It’s often beyond comprehension how incredible you really are, but may I suggest that you try? When you get comfortable with your own incredibleness you are more able to see the incredible trait that resides in others. It’s time to claim it, you are incredible!
Homework:
Can you be grateful for how incredible you are in this world?
We hope you enjoyed your extended weekend! Here are a few questions for you to ponder:
What if life is rigged in your favor?
What if your true self is a gift to the world?
What if you could re-imagine what your life looks like?
What if you demonstrated courage daily?
What if you matter?
“What if”, dear reader, is the question of the week.
The winter wilderness is transforming into emerald green grass and sun-kissed yellow daffodils that are swaying merrily in the spring wind. Nature in May is full of miracles born out of change.
Constant movement is all around us in nature and our lives. May you have the courage of the returning birds to live loudly, the wisdom of a deeply rooted tree to make decisions wisely, and the curiosity of a toddler to get through spring and into summer.
Homework Assignment:
What three miracles in your life can you smile about?
I’m speaking of the light within you that is your gift to share with all the people you greet. What do you do that seems so easy, yet people compliment you on regular basis? There lies a hint of your brilliance! Is it your smile that brightens the day of others? Do you turn a phrase that makes people laugh loudly? Does your intellect give way to new ideas? Whatever your gift, share it lovingly and watch how your brilliance lights up your every interaction!
Did you shine your brilliance today?
Can you compliment other’s brilliance?
Happy Friday!
Imagine a place deep inside yourself; it is your connection to all that is and has ever existed. I
named that space Grace. You are free to call it anything you like. The point of identifying this
deeply rooted internal space for yourself is to become aware that inside you there is planted
knowledge. Inside each of us there lives new budding ideas. This April, take a leap of faith like
nature is doing with budding trees and spring flowers pushing up out of the ground. Mother
Nature is coloring our surroundings with new brightness this spring. Is it time for you to color
your life with new bolder thoughts? Happy spring everyone!
