Daily Affirmations: My Life Is Rich

July 13, 2015

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.

To cultivate compassion, you must respond to the needs of others.

To practice joy, you must contribute to the joy of others.

Food For Thought: A Flower Bud

Peony Buds

Treat this day as though it is a flower bud, opening and unfurling its petals as the moments of the day pass on. Each moment, each petal unfurling, is an opportunity for growth and change. We can blossom in our lives as flower bud changes from a tight, young bud to wide open flower, rich and heady with pollen to germinate the seeds of life elsewhere.

We are the cycle of life, as is the flower bud. We gain nothing if we remain tight and closed, a bud unwilling to open. We must look towards each day and unfurl our lives with happiness, gratitude and inspiration to be the most glorious flower we can be. That is living in the moment.

Food For Thought: On Life Lessons

May 12, 2015

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: Happiness Is A Choice

April 3, 2015

“Happiness is a choice, not a condition. I can choose to be happy, or I can choose to be unhappy. Truly, what choice is there to make, but that of happiness, when I know that happiness is the Universe’s choice for me. This is not to say that there are times, circumstances, situations that truly warrant sadness and cause emotional suffering, however to remain in suffering too long is to wallow. If I am to wallow, then let me wallow in joy and the knowledge that Heaven is here, now.” – Pamela J. Leavey
