YOU matter. YOU are LOVED.

Past experiences are there to inspire me, if not teach me important lessons. If I do look back, I look back with a smile. I laugh. I do my best to let go no matter how hard, it's only hard if I think it's hard.

Perception is my weapon against attachment. I achieve what I perceive. I receive what I perceive.

I will not wallow in a harsh or unpleasant situation or I will end up getting trapped there. I will move. I will not remain in a frozen state.

The future- I won't even worry about it, I have no power to foresee it, nor do I have the right to predict, and even if I did I wouldn't waste time on it. That will only bring me further away from where I should stand, in the present moment... 


BECOMING WHO I AM.

BELIEVE ~You are a beautiful being of God. YOU have come to this lifetime to BE... love, GIVE love and RECEIVE love. YOU have the ability to make a Difference. YOU will make a difference just by choosing to Be Compassionate, Be Kind and Be Present for another being - human or animal. You make a HUGE Difference... YOU matter to the rest of us and YOU are LOVED.

~Julie Elder

Habit is a hell....

Time to satisfy our coffee habit, and speaking of habits, here's a quote to nibble on: "Habit is a hell people cling to in order to stop the flow of change."

Take a moment to explore habits you've been holding onto that may be keeping positive change at bay? Do you continually overspend, leaving you chained to a job you hate but can't afford to quit? Do you park in front of the telly instead of going after the healthy body you swear you want? Or maybe there's a person in your life that's become a habit, someone who is holding you back from living the life you were meant to. Only you can identify these habits. Only you can break them. Congratulations! Recognizing them is the taking the first step.

The Four Agreements - Miguel Ruiz

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't Make Assumptions

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret."

Love On Others More Today

Seems like the days, months, years...fly by with each blink of an eye. Some moments can never be re-lived. We are busy. We are multitasking, un-clearly focused, or attentive. We are constantly working, building, & planning for the future in a rush. Then suddenly without realizing, we have become "BLIND" to the beautiful "present" positives right in front of us. Before you know it, opportunities & moments YOU could have created that positively impact your life & that of others has long passed. Today we are one day older. Yesterday is gone. More than half a year has passed. So when it seems like days are suddenly flying by...remember to STOP. Absorb what's around you. Take it in...fully focused on the positive. Create special moments with those you love. Capture them slowly in your mind. We can work fast, make money, buy things, get things done, but what we end up valueing most in the end when years have passed...is meaningful experiences, feelings, & memories with those whom we love. Nothing else. Stop. Be grateful. Love on others more today.Simply Positive
