Positive Thinking Brings Positive Outcomes

There are times when we give others the power to direct our life.  These are people who are filled with negative energy, who seem to hold us hostage so we have difficulty moving forward in our life. We feel confused, angered, and helpless by their actions towards us. Our response is to talk about them to who ever will listen. "Why are they doing this?" "What should I do?"  "What did I do to them?" As we give more of our time and energy to the negativity, it begins to build in strength and we become victims of our own making. To prevent this from happening, immediately stop talking about these people. Say a prayer of compassion for them and wish them well. The universe will guide you to people who will nurture you and fill your world with genuine love. Today, stop being a victim of negativity. Stay true to who you are and your heart's desire will be fulfilled.

Although I'm very small, my love for you is as big as the biggest sea turtle you have ever seen...

Understanding Chaos

In life, it is our hope that we live a peaceful existence. That we surround ourselves with nurturing and supportive souls, but often times there are those who create chaos in our lives. Whether they are a friend or family member, we begin to question why the universe has placed them with us. If our life's purpose is to live a more compassionate life, shouldn't the universe bring those who can teach us about compassion. Stop! I get it. If we had more control over our journey, we would choose an easier path.  But how will we learn about true compassion, if we are not forced to experience these painful situations. It would have to be a loved one because they mean more to us than someone we don't know. We may not understand where our journey takes us, but know that the universe flows through us giving us the strength to overcome anything. Today, reflect upon the people in your life. Know that whether they are supportive of you or not, they are all there to guide you towards your heart's desire.

I am so appreciative of the special people in my life...

B - I will miss your laughter and smiling face.

Be true to yourself and you will always find your way through life!

Taking The Time To Heal Ourselves

There are days when we just don't feel well. From the time we get up bleary eyed, till the time we fall into our bed, we know it's just been one of those off days. The universe continues to flow patiently, giving us permission to take the time off to heal ourselves. On these days, it's better for us to be still and recuperate then it is for us to continue conquering the world. For today, listen to your body and let it nurture you. For those of us who need rest, we will stay in bed and let the world go by without us. And for those of you who are in good health, continue to let your spirit guide you on your journey towards your heart's desire.

Just being near the ocean seems to heal my spirit...

Kindred Spirits

Sometimes in life, there are people that we meet for the very first time and find that there is an immediate connection. Although on the surface, it may look like we have nothing in common, when we meet it's as if we are reconnecting with a long lost friend. It's difficult to explain why we feel so comfortable and relaxed. Although these are people who nurture our soul, sometimes they are only with us for a moment in time. As sad as this may be, know that they are placed in our life for a specific purpose, to reconfirm with our spirit that there is a compassionate universe that truly believes in our journey. Today, appreciate all the kindred spirits that are around you, who are there to uplift your soul. Relax, reflect, and rejuvenate knowing that you are a divine being.

Now that I've raised these loving kindred spirits,

they are ready to go out and help others...

 

Sitting Quietly Through Chaos

There are times in life, when we see a friend or family member struggle on their path. It is painful to watch as they fight with their inner demons. As much as we'd like to help them through this rough patch, we must remind ourselves that this is not our journey. Understanding that the battle being fought is not ours, may help us so that we do not get swept up in the madness. Living a compassionate life is challenging because we want to help others in pain, but it also teaches us that through chaos we discover a better understanding of the resilient spirit that lies within us all. Today, take a deep cleansing breath and know that the stronger you become in spirit, the more you are able to guide those who seek your help. 

Sometimes it's difficult to sit quietly when there is chaos all around me...

Choosing Our Words Carefully

There are times in life, when we make commitments to ourselves and to others. At that moment, we have every intention of fulfilling our obligations. In fact, we are enthusiastic about having committed ourselves to something we believe in. As time goes by, our interest wanes and we lose the momentum that we initially had. When reminded of what we had said, we shrug it off as if it wasn't important and it didn't matter. But it is important and it does matter because life is about the commitments we make to ourselves and others. It's about listening more carefully to what we are saying, for our words have energy. How long before our words lose all their meaning? Today, choose your words carefully and only commit to what you believe you can see through to the end. For there is power in living a life of true intentions. 

I know I promised you could paint your room any color, but orange...



Glitches In Life

Some days it seems as if the universe flows slightly off course. When life is suddenly filled with miscommunication and misunderstanding. Nothing that would be considered a major crisis, but just enough to make us stop and question our actions. Did we forget something? Did we say the right thing? What are we missing? We begin to doubt ourselves. These glitches in life are part of our journey. It's up to us how we react to them. We can have a major meltdown or take it in stride. However we respond, the universe continues to flow through us.  Today, take note of all the little mishaps that are happening around you and resolve them one at a time. Know that this to is part of your life journey.

It doesn't matter how difficult the course, water always flows effortlessly...
