Daily Affirmations: I Am Not My Circumstances

Today, I re-mind myself that I am not my circumstances. Circumstances can weigh us down and cause us to feel as though our lives are filled with burdens and bad luck. So it is important to remember that these circumstances are temporary.

I choose to be happy in my life, despite my circumstances. I choose to live in the moment and find instances of grace and joy in the now, despite my circumstances. Circumstances will change, and yes, sometimes things will get worse before they get better, but I am not my circumstances. I am empowered in the knowledge that I am not my circumstances. As surely as bird will take flight, my circumstances will change.  Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: My Life Is Rich

lowellsdories3

The universe lines up opportunities in our lives and are the vessel that carries them to fruition. I take things as they come, and strive each day to make the best of all things in my life. I practice gratitude daily. I find joy in the simple things. I accept what is, but I keep my dreams and goals alive in my heart and mind. I work towards my success daily, fully cognizant that my success is already apparent, for my life is rich. I affirm these things daily, gratitude, joy, success. I re-mind myself: I am abundant, I have love. I am abundant, I have money.

Food For Thought: On Life Lessons

sandypoint2

Our path is always changing, as is the scenery. One day we find ourselves heading in a completely different direction then we had planned. What happened, we ask ourselves, how did my life change so suddenly without my approval of the plan? Lessons appear in our lives when we least expect them. These life lessons are our opportunities to rise above the adversities in our lives and become more than we were when the lessons presented themselves. How we handle those lessons determines whether we learn from the lessons or stay stuck, wallowing in despair.

Life can be harsh and life can be filled with wonder and joy. It is up to each of us to make the best of what we are presented with each and every day. Each day, I re-mind myself to find even the smallest sliver gratitude, joy and happiness. Even in the midst of the most profound grief and sorrow, we can all find something to be grateful for each day. Gratitude matters. When we strive to live in the moment we begin to transcend the difficulties placed in the midst of our path.

Daily Affirmations: Every Little Ray of Light

saltmarshSometimes our hearts and our minds are like a cloudy sky blocking the sunshine from our lives. We’ve struggled, we’ve suffered loss, we’ve been weighted down by sadness and grief. We wait patiently the skies to open, showing the reward of the dazzling sun.

Today I re-mind myself that every little ray of light that passes through my heart and mind, creates a fertile ground for inner peace and happiness. It may be cloudy outside, but I can make the sun shine in my heart and mind, by simply choosing to give joy a space in my life today.

Namaste… Pamela
