Our worth is determined by our actions and behaviors not the good opinion of others. Living to impress is a sign of insecurity. The only person that needs to be happy with me is ME.
AUTHENTIC LIVING IS TRUTH
Sooner or later our strength is challenged. Life throws us curves to teach us how to hit them. We all grow. Some choose to; others are pushed to it by circumstance. Either way we get to let our magnificence shine.
Do not allow difficult situations become debilitating. These times hone our skills and sharpen our resolve. It has been said that God, (the universe, life) never gives us more than we can handle. Embrace the call to action, pull strength from the divinity at your core. We are all extensions of the ONE omnipotent consciousness that builds worlds and creates the stars. Nothing is impossible until we decide it is.
Our most productive work, highest levels of creativity, efficient decision making comes when we are navigating challenges and struggling to survive.
When there is nothing to lose, the reluctance to act disappears and fear diminishes being replaced by hope and drive.
Those that are comfortable with much to lose have diminished motivation and the fear of losing their level of comfort.
Challenges are not only the catalyst for growth and creativity they hone our skills and elevate our energy and stamina.
Lean in when things go awry. Do not retreat.
YOU’VE GOT THIS!
We all may be looking at the same thing, but we are seeing our own version.
Some will see beauty in simplicity while others will see boredom and yet some will see opportunity and potential.
We can also see love and peace or hatred and chaos while looking at the same condition.
It’s all about what’s inside.
Many of us live in fear of not being accepted and/or included. It is those of us who are confused about our true identity and afraid to allow our inner most self be seen.
We can only realize peace, contentment, confidence and ultimately JOY, when we show our true self and toss away the mask of conformity.
When we go along to get along we lose ourself to a world life of deception and lies. Navigation through life in such a manner will be more terrifying than actually displaying authenticity and being judged for your true colors.
I would much rather be condemned and shunned for being genuine than to be found out as an imposter.
Embrace authenticity as your unique self is needed to make us whole.
Life exists only in the present moment.
What has not yet transpired can only be thought.
All that has occurred is also only thought.
Physical form and substance are conditions that we realize NOW.
Those of us continually reliving events that have occurred prior are not living life as it unfolds.
Nothing can be created in the past.
Regret, guilt or pride and satisfaction can be felt, but whatever those feeling create will be in this monent.
Our history is wonderful as lessons for the present and future but disastrous to remain focused on.
This moment is called the PRESENT because it is the gift from the Universe, Cosmos, or God for us to create life and experience with.
Then and later are thoughts. NOW IS LIFE.
BE HERE NOW.
Insomuch as we are creating our experience from our thoughts and beliefs; the gurus, teachers, mentors and source of all information we digest has been created by us to show us what we already know.
Chip away the garbage and our truth reveals itself.
They say that when the student is ready the teacher will appear. This is an indication that we are evolving beyond being prey and becoming intentional creators of our reality. Still unsure of our own insight we lean on creating “experts” to play back to us what we have felt at our core and suspect is truth for us. This way we feel more confident that we are growing along the right path.
We tend to be largely ignorant that all of it is of our own design. This is fine. Whatever it takes to pull back the curtain and bask in the glow of truth:
YOUR TRUTH, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE!
Life is like a puzzle. The source of life has set in motion a synchronous dance of mutual cooperation and collaboration to ensure joyful navigation through obstacles.
We thrive when we serve one another and each has a different talent to use. Our purpose is our piece of the puzzle of life. When we sit on it and do not share or gift, the puzzle is not complete.
Until we all play our part, life will be incomplete.
Share your gift.
Hint; start with the corner piece 😁
With social media, the internet, news media and podcasts, information, ideas, viewpoints and perspectives are readily available on any topic around the clock.
Millions of people instantly become offended, insulted and even outraged. These same individuals are usually unknown to those sharing and largely unaffected by the situation and certainly not involved yet they devolve into the base vibrations of anger allowing cortisol and adrenaline to flood their system wreaking havoc on their health.
Then the negativity is spread like a cancer and society degrades another level.
All of this destructive upheaval is unnecessary as the only way anything external to our mind can impact our being is if we allow it in and accept it.
When information does not empower us, we can dismiss it and ignore it.
More now than ever, for individuals, families, communities, groups and humanity this quote needs to be realized.
If something doesn’t fit, walk away. The world will be better and so will you.
When we are feeling grateful and allowing our actions and our body to express it, endorphins flood our body and the good feeling increases. We find ourselves being drawn to, and creating more conditions that will stimulate that same feeling. The process will have a cascading effect and build momentum.
This is how we attract the lives we desire.
It is not automatic though. We must decide to embrace gratitude and allowing our actions to project our feelings.
We always have the choice to ignore the beauty in others and around us by focusing on the garbage and putting energy behind complaining, chastising and blaming.
Both lives exist for us. We choose the path.
Wake with GRATITUDE and ride it all day.
