Know Your Value

Sunday, November 27th, 2011

Your perception of who you are has a great influence on your emotional and spiritual well-being.  Research shows that we tend to act in harmony with what we perceive ourselves to be.  This simply means you’re not going to liveany better that you believe.  This is why it’s critical to possess a strong sense of self so that you’ll see yourself as empowered and able to be in charge of every area of your life.

Make room for the things you desire and want to achieve.  By preparing yourself and, if necessary, be fearless about taking a path that has been less traveled to achieve.  Don’t let anything stand in your way or compromise the quality of your life and those experiences you what to know.  All things are possible.

Cheers!

So Thankful!

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

As we enter the week of Thanksgiving, we should all look and think back over the last 11 months and take a moment to acknowledge all the things we have to be “Thankful” for.  If you are blessed to read this posting you have been blessed with the gift of life and vision.  For me this has been a trying year in so many ways but I am reminded by the scripture that says “in all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct my path”.  And I am a witness that the word is right.   I had to really acknowledge the gift of acceptance, and letting go.  I realize that people come in your life for a reason, season or a life time.  And I am very thankful that God blessed me to just “LET GO” of so many people, situations and circumstances, replacing those things with the gift of “I don’t care”.   I can truly testify that I am FREE and it feels SO good. 

A few things I am thankful for, God grace & mercy, good health, family, a few good ride or die friends, love, being in love, being loved by others, peace, and all the joy God has allowed me to experience in my life.  Fully realizing that I could be homeless, jobless, loveless, friendless, lifeless, but, all I can do is think about God Grace………. And when I go there I am completely satisfied.  I realize I don’t have to chase love, chase friends or family, I am not chasing anything but my spiritual life and the opportunity to get it right and keep it right.

I ask that you take some time today in stillness and record at least 5 things you are thankful for, and give thanks today and every day for all things.  If the things you are chasing are not bringing you love, joy & peace, stop chasing.  I pray you & your family embrace a blessed Thanksgiving Season.  Cheers!

Faith

It’s not always easy to face ourselves and the unwise choices we have made along the way.  At times I still resist.  But not facing what is hurting us doesn’t diminish the pain.  I have not always had the strength to face my own troubles.  There are many days when I think about the bad choices I made.  But, I am always reminded of God’s grace & mercy.  The lessons I have learned regarding choices that I have made in my life is that we are all allowed to make bad choices and mistakes the real problems is when we don’t learn from those bad choices and mistakes.  No one is perfect.  When I have found myself at this place in my life I have one prayer and that is “God don’t let me make the same mistake again and let me learn the lesson you wanted me to”. 

Often we keep our mistakes in life a secret because we fear being judge or abandoned or fear losing love.  We must get to a place of being thankful for who we are and who we are destined to become. 

Remember no matter how difficult the situation, our question must always be:  What has this issue come to teach me?  Whatever is happening to us at this moment is a potential source of wisdom, sent to wake us and remind us that our power is equal to every moment.  To live from a place of serenity requires total trust in our higher power; it’s that walk-on-water type of faith and belief in self love.  Cheers!

Every Step You Take

At times weall feel like weary travelers unsure of which way to turn.  The road to the summit isn’t straight and smooth.  It twists and changes course, with unpredictable events around each bend. Not every wanderer is lost.

If we haveunwavering faith moving steadily towards our intentions, all that threatens us along the way will go into hiding or be revealed as the imposters they are.  And trust me there are a lot of imposters out there. That’s because faith insists that we stop casting ourselves in the role of victim.  It reminds us who we are and what we came here to do.  We have to stop giving our power away.

Sometimes we get alienated from this inner power and trust.  I’ve sometime wandered off course, unsure of my place, feeling stressed, and depressed. At these times I remember this: Everything in our life can be a pathway to God. We have to trust life, trust each moment, trust ourselves.  I know now that each wandering experience was a necessary one.  I needed to examine my life more deeply until the inner roadblocks, my fears, my hurts, the strain of not following my heart suddenly became illuminating.  The way to clarity and healing is to ask ourselves at each step, is my energy aligned with my intention? Am I placing my feet along the right road?

Trust your heart and keep stepping, and know that the best is yet to come.  Cheers!
