The life we see before us is the culmination of the collective result of the intentions of 8 billion living beings and all the generations that have gone before.
The average person has anywhere from 6,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day. Every single thing, item, situation, condition, activity, and experience that we can refer to as our reality began in the mind of one of these hundreds of billions of people.
No one thought has a better possibility of manifesting than another. Each thought we have with a born of our own imagination, or as a result of external input has the potential to manifest inform if it’s given focus, emotion, and intention, then followed with action and expectation.
But the seed is necessary for the reality to grow.
Are we recycling the same thoughts from the input of others, or are we creating life from our authenticity?
Many of us want to change the world. Most of us are not really interested in changing ourselves. The world does not change until the thoughts change.
I can only change my thoughts. There is a possibility that when others have exposure to the conditions that result from my thoughts that they may create similarly, but that is out of my control.
If I wish to change the world, I need to change my mind.
CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME.

Being in gratitude is a high vibration emotion. I can summon this feeling by reviewing one or more of the many things I am thankful for.
Starting the day with this perspective front and center has me focused on seeing new reasons to be grateful. That causes me to experience situations and conditions that are aligned with my best life.
I write three things (minimum) each morning while having my coffee and posting here that I am grateful for.
As we begin November we have 27 days leading to Thanksgiving in America. I will post 1 message of Gratitude each day on social media.
Will you Join me?

When we take responsibility for the conditions of our lives and realize that there are consequences to everything, we retain control.
Knowing that we contribute to our experiences we can change them anytime. It’s only when we blame our situation on forces beyond our control that we sentence ourself to suffering in perpetuity waiting to be rescued.
Hint: NO ONE IS COMING!
OWN YOUR LIFE TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE.

Every human endeavor, all we have created, even down to hobbies and past times or as enormous as going to Mars or curing diseases, rescuing disaster victims or painting our nails has been our response to an impediment to our joy, peace, safety, security and survival.
The talents we develop and the passions that drive us have all been response to some level of discomfort.
This quote tells us that the impetus for our magnificence is our perception of challenges. The strongest catalyst being any threat go survival.
We are better because of our problems. Welcome them as growth experiences and opportunity instead of disturbances.
We woukd be nothing without them.

Every day is a good day to choose to be magnificent.
Excellence does not lie in notoriety and wealth alone. Being your best self, living without fear and following your passion creates a spectacular life.
Today we can choose to dismiss fear and refuse to procrastinate any longer. All it takes is one step to start a journey then momentum takes over.
The difference between magnificence and mediocrity is choice.

“Once a person is determined to help themselves, there is nothing that can stop them,” ~Nelson Mandela.

Wayne Dyer always taught to be independent of the good opinion of others. We need not design our lives in such a manner that we are catering to the interests of anyone other than ourself.
The attempt to play the same song, dance the same dance and recite the same message as everyone else is compromising our authenticity and taking us off the board as an active contributor to a culture.
No two leaves, snowflakes, fingerprints, DNA, or actually anything is identical. This is the design. Omnipresent diversity is the reason for that. One giant jigsaw puzzle is what life is. We each have a unique piece to add. When we follow the crowd and not our calling, we are limiting the magnificence of the puzzle and not adding anything at all.
Follow your call. Be unique. Be you.

Most of us attribute the word and the concept of FAITH only to the reliance upon God to take care of us, our needs and our loved ones. Faith in God is believing what we have been taught about our connection to our creator.
Faith however is so much more than that and is also relevant to those with no belief in a Deity at all.
God, and Gods power, energy and potential is within us. Believing in this indwelling energy and our ability to activate it;(prayer, affirmation, meditation or just plain knowing and expectation) is the full gamut of faith.
Faith is not only working when we pray for a sick loved one or for financial relief. It is certainly not limited to hoping to get fit or meet a mate. Faith is attached to every condition of life, even the smallest nuances of our daily routines.
Our live unfolds, reflects, attracts, or creates,(whichever adverb you prefer) exactly what we believe is going to happen. “AS A MAN THINKS, SO SHALL HE BE.
When someone defines another as a faithful person or a person of strong faith they are talking about their reliance on God. Actually we are all faithful in some respect. We believe in life. “What you believe, you receive”. Without a belief, nothing can be.
Start believing we are all united in a never ending circle of love and it will be so. Or believe in chaos and that is where you will live.
You will experience life according to your faith.
What do you believe thus day holds for you?
I believe in miracles.
