For Presence (To Bless the Space Between Us)   

Awaken to the mystery of being here
and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.
 
Have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.
 
Receive encouragement when new frontiers beckon.
 
Respond to the call of your gift and the courage to 
follow its path.
 
Let the flame of anger free you of all falsity.
 
May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame.
 
May anxiety never linger about you.
 
May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of
soul.
 
Take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek
no attention.
 
Be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul.
 
May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven
around the heart of wonder.
 
~ John O'Donohue ~

‎"Being" fully present in the Now may be the ultimate kind of success... the other stuff, temporal success, will then manifest in some form, making use of a person's specific talents and gifts... the giving back impulse, helping others, is then more effective because it is spiritually based, not of the ego...CHOICE.

                         ~ Jay Morgan

No matter how difficult things seem , we always have choices. We can always decide what we think , how we feel and how we will act in a situation . As we increase our choices , our lives are enriched. “As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around. 

                        ~ Elder T D Miller

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is miracle.

Celebrate Life

Today I will know that it's ok for me to be happy;

It's ok to enjoy my life and be free;

I will be grateful for where I am;

No matter what the circumstances;

I will give myself a break;

Knowing that sometimes I will make mistakes;

I will believe that I too can live my dreams;

I will no longer allow my those dreams to be limited;

I will open up and see that before me are limitless possibilities;

I will know that my past no longer need limit my visions;

For old ideas and beliefs are always subject to revisions;

I will face any obstacle that comes my way, with a sense of dignity and faith;

Knowing that nothing has the power to overcome me;

Unless I choose to give that power away;

I will know that I too deserve all the happiness and success which life has to offer;

Yes it's ok for me to be happy today!

A Note from the Universe

 Whether you see it, feel it, or know it, right now you're being provided for. 

And you always will be. 

Get it?

*******************************

If we were standing in your physical shoes, that would be our dominant quest: Entertaining Yourself, pleasing Yourself, connecting with Yourself, being Yourself, enjoying Yourself, loving Yourself. Some say, "Well, Abraham you teach selfishness." And we say, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, because unless you are selfish enough to reach for that connection, you don't have anything to give anyone, anyway. And when you are selfish enough to make that connection—you have an enormous gift that you give everywhere you are.

                        ~ 'The Teachings of Abraham' by Esther and Jerry Hicks

*******************************

Here are 3 words that can turn your life around: "up until now".  If you put that at the front of a sentence in which you are discussing a problem, you are having, it will turn the whole thing positive. Say "up until now", I have been having a problem with xyz. That way you acknowledge things need to be improved, and you give yourself the hope and encouragement that it can be done.  

                        ~ Edward W. Smith

Never Be Jealous Again

“Jealousy is an emotion we can live without.”

When you are jealous of someone else, your positive attitude suffers.

When tempted to compare yourself to a woman who is more beautiful or successful than most, you have a choice. You can choose to admire her fine attributes or let the green-eyed monster have its way. If you choose jealousy, you will become negative, learn to doubt yourself and cultivate both fear and anger. But, when you choose admiration, you nurture an inner awe and wonder, which is too often lost as children grow into adults.

Turn jealousy into admiration. Stop comparing yourself to those with wonderful qualities. Replace negative feelings with appreciation and admiration, and appreciation of your own great qualities will grow!

Today’s Affirmation: When comparing myself to others, I choose admiration rather than jealousy.

Daily Teaching from The Power

In business or whatever job or work you do, make sure that you give  in equal value to the money you receive  in profits or from your salary. If you give less value than the money you receive, your business or your career will be doomed to failure. You simply can't take from anyone in life, because you will take from yourself. At all times give equal value for what you're receiving. The only way you can be sure of doing that is to give more  value than the money you're receiving. If you give more value than the money you're receiving, your business and career will take off.
