Power of your thoughts

Power of your thoughts
The focus of your attention enlarges and expands whatever you focus upon.
That can either hurt you greatly or help you immensely.
Your complaints, for example, give more power and presence to whatever you
complain about. Your love, on the other hand, gives more substance to
whatever you love.
Put the focus of your attention not on what you wish to avoid. Instead,
constantly direct your attention toward where you would like your life to
go.
Your unceasing thoughts have great power. So frame those thoughts in a
positive way that will put their power to work for you.
The more you think you are, the more you are. What you do flows surely and
steadily from what you think, so keep your thoughts focused on your dreams.
Give life to your best intentions by giving the power of your thoughts to
them. Make your dreams real by keeping them constantly in your thoughts.

LOVE IS THE KEY

All negative thoughts and feelings are simply love under pressure. Every
action you take and every word you speak is an expression of love. Anger,
sadness, greed and guilt are just contracted forms of energy that
originally came from love, yet were contorted by the mind. If you look
closely, you'll find that everything in this Universe comes from love.
This may be a radical idea to digest and religiously implement in your
personal belief system, yet I invite you to try on these new prescription
"love glasses" for a week or two. The slightest change in ones perspective
can dramatically shift everything!
"He that sees the Self sees the Divine. All that you see depends on the
seer. Apart from the seer there is no seen." ~Sri Ramana Maharshi

Power to Live

Power to live
You are much more powerful, creative and effective than you give yourself
credit for being. You are worthy of the best in life because you are able
to give your very best to each day.
Start that fortunate process in motion. Open yourself to the positive
possibilities of this day and work to bring the best of them to reality.

Whatever good, valuable and meaningful things you can imagine, you can
create. Though it requires effort and commitment, you are absolutely
capable of making it happen.

Remind yourself that this moment is not merely happening to you. It is
happening through you.
You can make it happen in a way that brings great richness to your world
and fulfillment to your life. You can choose to be a positive force by
directing your potent energy into those things that truly matter.
Right now, you have great power to do great things. Step forward in truth,
sincerity, and authenticity, and put that power to use.

Be better

Be better
If your life could use some positive momentum, make some. Make the choice
and take the action that will bring some real, new, positive value to this
day.
You don't have to wait for things to get better. Because you can take it
upon yourself to be better.
It doesn't matter what else might be going on. There is more than enough
goodness within you to make a real difference when you give some of that
goodness to the world around you.
Just one authentically positive action can change the whole dynamic of your
day. Think of how much more effective you'll be with some positive momentum
on your side, then get busy and do something to put it there.
You are never at the mercy of random circumstance. You can transform any
circumstance, any situation, any event by virtue of how you choose to see
it and to live it.
Take this day and live it in the best way you can imagine. Establish some
powerful, positive momentum and let it carry you in the direction of your
greatest dreams.

What is easy

What is easy
Easy is overrated. Though easy is nice and convenient, it is not essential.
Many good, valuable and worthwhile things are not easy. Unfortunately,
perfectly acceptable options are too often overlooked simply because they
are not easy.
Life is not always easy. And yet life is very much worth living, and very
much worth the trouble and effort it often requires.
If you only seek the easiest way, you'll miss out on the best way. If you
avoid what is not easy, you'll deny yourself great richness.
When you expect everything to be easy, you'll have to lower your other
expectations. Many of life's greatest treasures are so valuable precisely
because they are so difficult to attain.
Go to the trouble, make the effort, and take on the difficult challenges.
For out there beyond the comfort of what is easy, you can create and
experience the magnificence of what is great.

CHANGE OF FOCUS

Don't waste your time complaining about what brings you down. Instead, get
yourself away from it in whatever way you can.
If you're in a negative pattern, break the pattern by establishing a new,
more meaningful, positive and empowering one. Doing what you've always done
will continue to get you what you've always gotten, and to get a change you
must make a change.
Reach inside and reacquaint yourself with what you truly care about. Your
authentic purpose is far more important than keeping up old habits or
superficial appearances.
This is your life and this is your opportunity to do something positive
about it. You are far more powerful than you've allowed yourself to be.
Decide to use that power in the service of what is most important to you.
Though a Change of Focus will initially be frightening and uncomfortable,
you will soon feel you're right where you belong.
The beautiful possibilities are calling. NOW is your moment to Focus your
life upon, and to allow, what really matters.

Pathway to fulfillment

Pathway to fulfillment

Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching ever higher,
building one achievement on top of another, and creating real, meaningful
value in each moment.
A common stone on the ground does a great job of just getting by. You, on
the other hand, are destined for much more spectacular things.
Yes indeed, you will most certainly encounter a whole lot of challenges
when you make the effort to raise your world even a little bit higher. The
good thing is, you are superbly equipped to thrive on those challenges.
If life seems unfulfilling, it's not because of the challenges or
limitations that stand in your way. It's because you refuse to see the
exceptional opportunities that those challenges represent.
This is your precious and unique life, and it is absolutely worth all the
trouble and effort you must go through to make it great. Within you at this
moment are beautiful dreams, and you can begin to live in the direction of
those dreams whenever you choose.
Let go of the false security of just getting by, and get yourself focused
on a purpose that will bring your life gloriously to life. Your very own
pathway to fulfillment is just one quick step away.
