To Be Hopeful...

To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.

What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places – and there are so many – where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.

-Howard Zinn

Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you.

Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

- Charles Swindoll

~Grounding~

Grounding .....the act of linking with the earth energies is known as grounding. It can be done by visualizing yourself as a tree with roots coming out of your feet and down in to the Mother earth making a connection with earth's core. It provides stability if you feel insecure, anxious or angry, or it can be used before and after carrying out psychic work of any kind, channeling higher energies or healing work to root yourself in the real world again. Grounding is essential in any kind of spiritual work. You will find it enormously helpful in your everyday life too.

-Karen Karma

Guilt

If we don't forgive ourselves for our mistakes and others for the wounds they have inflicted upon us, we end up crippled with guilt. And the soul cannot grow under a blanket of guilt, because guilt is isolating, while growth is a gradual process of reconnection to ourselves, to other people, and to a larger whole.

-Joan Borysenko

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

-Rosa Parks

Clouds of Doubt

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;

When the funds are low, and the debts are high;

And you want to smile, but have to sigh;

When care is pressing you down quite a bit -

Rest if you must, but do not quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;

And you can never tell how close you are;

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

-Chelle

From this point on, your life is up to you. In each and every moment that is to come, you are free to choose your thoughts, your feelings, your actions and your attitude.

Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Time is Life. So stop wasting your time, with that, your life. Go where you want to be, do what you want to do, and be who you want to be!

Should You

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Mind Limits

You can have anything on earth that you want, once you mentally accept the fact that you can have it.

If you want to be successful, begin by thinking of yourself as being successful. The feeling of being successful has to come first. If you have a deep inner conviction that you will always have all that you need, if you actually feel prosperous, it will be so.

The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life is simply the will to pursue it and the faith to believe that it is possible.

Only your mind sets your limits.

Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you. -Og Mandino The Four Agreements

Agreement 1

Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Agreement 2

Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

Agreement 3

Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Agreement 4

-Don Miguel Ruiz

Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

If you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, begin writing affirmations such as, "The universe is working in perfect harmony. Everything happens for my higher good. I now see a universe of beauty and perfection." Flood your mind with a voice that says, "Things are positive, things are working in my favor, all is order and harmony." The more you fill your mind with positive thoughts, the more you will turn down the volume of any negative emotions.

-Personal Power Through Awareness

Smile :o)

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face, And show the world all the love in your heart, Then people gonna treat you better. You're gonna find, yes, you will, That you're beautiful, as you feel.

-Carole King

Dreams

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true.

The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it. If you have the desire, you have the power to attain it.

You can have anything you want in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it. Your dreams can come true if you pursue them.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Your dreams can come true!

“The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible”

~Albert Einstein
