ANYONE CAN START OVER AND MAKE A NEW ENDING

“‎Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning... Anyone can start over and make a new ending.”

― Chico Xavier

FORGIVE YOURSELF AND MOVE ON

Forgive yourself and move on. Release the need to rehash, review or relive what you could have, should have or would have done. Instead, be aware of what you learned about yourself.

Look at what the situation showed you that you were unwilling to see. Forgive yourself...despite your choices, actions or inaction and in spite of your lack of knowledge or misplaced trust. There may be consequences and responsibilities that you must face.

Avoidance and denial are poor substitutes for decisive action. Stop swinging at yourself with a super-sized bat. Put it down, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and know this..you will learn to trust yourself again, despite what you may be feeling now. Be gentle on yourself. Choose to be stronger, wiser, more courageous, determined, and committed to living in the present and building a brighter future for yourself. Remember, you have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!!

THE PRESENT MOMENT

The Present Moment

Happiness unfolds only in the present moment.
If you are concerned about whether you will be happy tomorrow
or even five minutes from now,
you won’t be able to be happy now.

All of the chaos and confusion in your mind
can be transcended through your simple decision
to be wholly present and attentive right now.
That is the miraculous truth.

GUARANTEES

Guarantees

When love is present,
you don’t worry about the future.

Only when love is lacking
do you insist on guarantees.

JOYFUL ATTITUDE

Joyful Attitude

Give this day, this world, this life the highest respect you can by being positive. Show appreciation for all you have, for all that is, by living with a joyful attitude.

Complaints and disparagements earn you nothing, no matter how well justified. They push away the goodness that could be yours in each moment.

Living with a positive perspective is not naive or unrealistic. Being positive raises your awareness, actions and results to a higher, more beneficial reality.

Faith in the future begins with faith in the present moment. And faith in the present moment is possible only with a positive outlook.

You don’t have to sugarcoat the world, or your situation, to be positive about it. You simply have to see it and live it from a place of love and gratitude.

Though life is never perfect it always carries an element of goodness with positive possibilities. See that goodness, joyfully build upon the possibilities, and give life the love and respect it deserves.


— Ralph Marston

GUARD YOUR MIND

There is a force in you that is more powerful than the negative people, circumstances or environment where you find yourself. Make a conscious, deliberate effort to keep your mind above all the toxic conversations, attitudes and stresses surrounding you.

Guard your mind by immersing yourself in positive words, scriptures, music; as well as self-affirming healing conversations that will drown out the negative voices within your own mind.
Create a ritual of prayer, meditation, exercise, yoga, Tai Chi. Volunteer your time. Use whatever method you can to protect yourself from the drama, emotional vampires and energy drainers that will try to rob you of your peace.

There is a Presence within you where you can find joy, comfort, and inner strength to give you the capacity to handle whatever you are facing. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!!

HAPPINESS HAPPENS WHEN...

BRING IT ON!

Bring it on!! This is your moment. It is your season. Now is the time to take your game higher and own your space. The odds are in your favor. You can not rest on yesterday's successes. That will not cut it today!! "Use to be...don't make no honey...or no money." What you have done in the past will not help you now.

Success is never ending. Consistency is the secret of high achievers. It is time to break new records...set a new standard...and surpass your personal best. Look life in the eye and say....bring it on! You were born to win. Reach down deep within. Unleash your power and your GREATNESS!

THE ANSWERS ARE SIMPLE

The Answers are Simple

You can spend your whole life
chasing complicated solutions to your problems,
but it will be a waste of time.

The answers are simple.
And they are close at hand.

Don’t waste your time blaming others for your mistakes
or accepting guilt for the mistakes others make.

You are responsible for what you think, say or do.
Others are responsible for what they think, say or do.

Keep this simple truth in front of you at all times
and act accordingly.

The way is straight. 

It appears to be crooked only when you try to twist it
to accommodate your fear or your guilt.

WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE BRILLIANT...?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”


― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

YOUR WORDS CREATE YOUR WORLD

Avoid foul mouthed people. If you are one of them, commit to losing this part of yourself. Do not allow yourself to be a vessel or a sponge for filthy or disrespectful language, or a garbage disposal for violent words ~ especially from people who are supposed to love you.

Some people enjoy using profanity, even when talking to children, or when in their presence. Many people pay to listen to foul mouthed rappers, comedians, and various entertainers. However, the acceptance of this as normal only speaks to our loss of spirituality and self-respect. It highlights the tragic lowering of our standards for language which has negatively impacted our children.

Cursing is the strongest expression of a weak mind. Do not fool yourself! Death and life are in the tongue. Your words create your world and your world reflects your reality. You always have a choice. Use words that represent the highest and best expression of yourself and of what you see for your future and your life. You Deserve!
