Today, I re-mind myself that I am thankful for all of the love, the joy and the abundance in my life. Indeed, my life is rich with so many different aspects of abundance and I am filled with gratitude that bubbles forth from the well-spring of my heart. Today, I strive to spend each moment of this glorious day in the now, for it is in the now that I am gifted with moments of clarity that fill my soul with gratitude for all that I have in my life. And so it is…

To be empowered, I affirm with gratitude in my heart for all that there is in my life. My life is rich with the love of my dearest family members and friends. My life is rich with the opportunities and abundance that I make for myself and that present themselves to me via the Universe. I celebrate with joy these things, and understand the flow of the cycles of all that there is, for it is like the river constantly changing. Today is a good day. I claim it as such. And so it is…

One of the greatest paths to disappointment and suffering is our own expectations when they go awry. Expectations surface in relationships on a regular basis and when they are not met, there is cause for sadness. Today, I re-mind myself that expectations can get in the way of moment to moment happiness and joy, and I vow to practice the fine art of being in the moment rather than setting my heart and mind on future expectations that involve someone else, that may not come to fruition. This does not mean a person should not make plans with others, it means releasing the expectation and allowing what happens in the future to exist in the moment like the sun rising or setting each day.

I have had apathy on my mind since last night when I ran into a friend whose life has been a landslide of troubles for a few years now. Each time he tries to get his footing, another rock tumbles in his path. I understand that pattern of life very well, for I have suffered from the effects of more than a couple of landslides in my life. What always saved me was my ability to pull myself up and out of the mire of rocks and stones and refuse to feel apathetic about my life and others around me.
Apathy is a cruel emotion that masks itself in the guise of “I don’t feel sorry for myself, I don’t give a shit about anything.” But, therein is the truth, because when you “don’t give a shit,” you are indeed feeling sorry for yourself and not caring about anything is your protective guard wall that you wrap around yourself instead of a pair of loving arms. It is the apathetic person that needs friends, and keeps themselves closed off from relationships. It is the apathetic person who is welled up with grief and knows not how to express it. And thus, happiness and joy escape the apathetic person. Sometimes there is no talking to the apathetic person, they don’t want to hear about the things they can do to “fix” their lives. Staying stuck in the mire is sadly where they may want to be, though deep down inside there is often a hidden desire to be loved, for is that not what we all long for?

How easy it is sometimes to let the littlest thing get in the way of our joy, let alone the things we need to accomplish each day. When worries take over in our heads we become slave to those worrisome thoughts and all else becomes clouded with the skies of a brewing storm.
Today, I re-mind myself to release my worries like rain falling on the earth, and accept that I am sometimes powerless in the things I cannot fix. Rather than allow worry to cloud my day, I will take a deep breath and release my worries. I will be in the moment and move forward with the purpose of the day’s tasks. Intent makes manifest… What needs to get done, will.

Today I affirm that my life is rich. I am blessed with an abundance of all good things in my life and I am filled with gratitude for all that I have. I seek this day and every day to share my abundance with all who my life touches that I might make a difference for others, as some have made a difference for me. Riches are not monetary, riches are the blessings great and small that lift us up emotionally and bring us joy. Indeed, today and every day, I re-mind myself that my life is rich.
