Having Faith In Yourself

I think for the most part, everyone has doubts about themselves but it seems that today more than usual you question if you have all that you need to survive. This is a question that is being asked more frequently in these trying times. There is no one who can truly answer that question but yourself. Even if we were to tell you that you are who you are supposed to be right at this moment, you would doubt whether what you are hearing is correct. You fear that you will fail before you have even tried. How frustrating it is for the universe which flows whether you believe or not. It is what will always be. You are no more or less than anyone else. You do not have ego enough to stand by yourself. It is easier to compare yourself with another than it is to say "I am". You will never know your true spirit unless you free yourself of who you were and be who you are meant to be. Today, cleanse your spirit. Be mindful of saying and thinking things that are not pure in thought. Repeat kind words that calm your soul. Be still in the moment and let your spirit rest.
Flowers make our souls smile...
 
(I believe in myself, it's the universe that I question. I walk my path in faith, knowing that there is a higher plan for me. But tonight, I question why I'm not being given a clue what the plan is. This day has been difficult and I'm doubting myself. I wish I could forsee what my spirit already knows. I know when tomorrow comes, I'll see the sun through the clouds.)

All Is Well

No matter what is going on around you, know that the universe is flowing through you and all is well. It may not seem that everything is in sinc with the world, but there is purpose where you may not see it. The universe is gathering all that is good and distributing throughout the world. The energy that will join together will bring peace to all, but for now there is a breaking of all things so that when the time comes the world will be ready for the change that is to come. There is goodness in us all, it is time for everyone to witness how we can join together to make the world a better place. Today, live for the moment. It is time that you appreciate and use all that you have been given. The more you open yourself to the universal energy, your spirit will soar.
 All doors will soon open for us...
 
(Sometimes it's difficult to think about things that are further than what I'm doing today. It sounds so shallow, but here and now is where I am. But I understand that the universe continues to move according to it's plans, which includes me. I hope that my destiny is part of the goodness that is coming to be. The world is waiting to be healed and I hope that when I hear the call to be a part of the change that I can meet the challege with no fear. It will soon be time that we all must decide what role do we want to play.)

TIme For All Things To Pass

When life is not going as well as you would like, it seems as if time moves so much more slowly. No matter how still you are life continues to bluster all around you. Our lives are intertwined so what happens to another person may directly impact our ownn. We do not stand alone. Which means that we all await for the time for all things to pass. Today, trust that you are where you are supposed to be at this moment. For this moment will not last long for you to remember.  Make each day a special day because this to shall past.
Play so that your heart sings...

Life's Journey

We understand how easy it would be if we gave you instructions on how to navigate your life. Telling you when to turn in a certain direction and giving you the answers to your many questions. But what would life be, if it were not for the lessons of which you are to learn while you are here on earth. It is with trepidation that you journey through life. You fear that you will have numerous mistakes and that this will affect your progress. It is true that everything has consequence. We allow you to make mistakes so that what you learn from them will be with you forever. You do not listen to what others tell you, so why would you listen to your spirit. It is by living with the spirit that you walk your path with ease. Do not fight what is because the universe flows through you as you journey forward. Today is for living. Life is for you to be a part of and take chances. For it is by putting yourself out there that you begin to trust that there is no mistakes in living with the spirit.
When you walk through the forest, feel the healing energy of the trees...
 
(Often times I wish that someone would tell me if I'm making the right decisions in my life. Thinking I'm doing the right thing for myself and knowing for sure are two different thing. Sometimes it would be reassuring if I received a sign that I am heading in the right direction. But I stand corrected, I do get confirmation in so many ways that I am making decisions that have me moving towards my destiny. Although it's scary to think that for some of us, we need to step so far out of the box to fulfill our destiny.)

Be Safe

As life keeps us busy, we sometimes forget there is danger that surrounds us. We are lulled in thinking that we are safe that we become careless. It seems the only time we take action is if we are alerted that danger is near.  We are reminded as to what we can do to prepare for emergencies but how many of us take these precautions seriously. There are some of us that may take light of these warnings because it seems as if nothing ever occurs. But it takes only one time for a disaster to happen that can change our life drastically. It doesn't take much to preplan for an emergency. It is important that we begin taking steps to prepare, so that we are able to help those in need in times of an emergency. Today, plan for the worst. If you are prepared for disasters, you will feel safer if something actually does occur. This is a time when natural disasters will come, so be calm and be safe.

All is calm...
 
(I'd like to think I'm prepared for disasters, but just arriving in Maui today and having a tsunami watch is pretty daunting. I have been focused on moving so being in an emergency situation was not on my list of things to be prepared for. We are about a block from the beach and there is hardly any food in our cupboard. Hopefully, we don't have to move to higher ground. It's good to know that we are always where we need to be. But I wish I was in a safer area right now.)

Moving Forward

No matter how much you want to hold tightly to what you have, sometimes when it's time to move forward, these are the very things that need to be left behind. Although you are moving forward, not all memories will be forgotten. For some, change itself is scary, but with change comes new opportunity. Your experiences make you who you are, if this is so then nothing is ever forgotten. Believe that the universe will provide everything you need on your journey and you will prosper. Today, take one step forward. Although you may want to move quickly change does not work overnight. With the blessings of the universe, all is possible.
It's okay sometimes not knowing where the road leads...
 
(I can't say I'm totally pleased with moving forward. There are so many things that come with change. Often times I can't imagine what is going to happen. Just the knowing deep in my soul that the universe leads me makes it a little better.)

Reflecting The Energy

Alot of the energy that you are absorbing is from the people that surround you. There is something to be said about choosing those who are close to you carefully because they share their energy with you. Their positive energy will help you to heal others and move pass the pains of life. When energies intertwine, the power that is created conquers all. Today, find the answers you seek, for until you do you will not have peace of mind. Be aware of the energy that is within you because it is that which protects you from harm. You reflect the energy that is all around you, so be compassionate in all that you do and you will prosper.
If we can harness the energy around us, we would all prosper...
 
(Today I learned how blessed I am to have such wonderful and compassionate people that surround me. If I am a reflection of their energy, no wonder I am off to do things that only the universe knows where my path lay. Whether I am near them or not, their loving energy flows through me and will help me prosper where ever I go. That's the wonderful thing about energy, it always ends up where it's supposed to be. I appreciate those that care about me, for it is because of them that I am.
