  • Discover what is important to you

    Discover what is important to you

    I can find my balance through doing what I love.

    Everyone I know can find their balance through doing what they love.

    Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, can find their balance through doing what they love.

    ————-

    When you allow yourself to find what is important to you, you are beginning to balance yourself in the right direction.

    It is unnecessary to become excellent at everything.

    You can contribute your best work doing what you love.

    This will beneift everyone around you, as well.

    Each step which you take in discovery, leads you to more and more happiness.

    When happiness infuses your life it creates a different kind of balance.

    You draw to you everything you need.

    You experience abundance as you gain momentum in what is important to you.

    You are being honest about your feelings and your abilities.

    You are in alignment.

    Good does not have to take a circuitous route in order to come to you.

    Good comes directly to you as you express what is important to you in your work.

    It is so satisfying and fulfilling to do what you love.

    Instead of rewarding yourself for doing all the things you don’t want to do first, you can begin with what you love and attract more of it.

    The things you need to do will get done in a happier frame of mind.

    What is important is living in such a way as to uplift and create well-being for everyone.

    There are always resources for uplifting.

    These come from listening within.

    The Universe is willing and able to answer our desires.

    Our commitment to what is best and most important to us draws these resources to us and guides us in how to implement our ideas.

  • Lean into your strengths

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    Lean into your strengths

    Finding your balance does not mean balancing everything equally.

    We do not achieve commitment or excellence when we try to cover all our bases at the same rate.

    The perfect balance means that passion and joy go into what we do.

    With happiness as the focus on the leading edge of what we do, everything else falls into balance.

    We are able to act in accord with our highest integrity when we commit to our strengths.

    We pull everything else in our life into alignment.

    We are here to serve a purpose.

    As we discover our purpose, we do everything we can to develop our strength.

    We study, we learn new skills, we communicate with others.

    We make rigorous efforts to create the product, to discover the solution.

    We relax into the joy of what we are doing.

    We revel in our happiness.

    We celebrate our passion.

    We find our flow.

    We move into our stride.

    We are able to maintain a level of excellence and commitment not possible in our other endeavors.

    We are simply enthralled by the daily revelations which come to us by doing what we love.

    This creates its own momentum and balance.

    We draw resources to us in a timely manner.

    We make new discoveries which lead us to new, uplifting conclusions.

    We create a momentum based on pure happiness.

    We live in daily satisfaction.

    Everything which is relevant comes into our life.

    We achieve a new balance based on joy.

  • My Own Reasons

    My Own Reasons 

    Peacefully being in alignment with what I love to do.

    i am doing what I love to do.

    I have longed to do these things forever.

    I am not doing my parent’s dreams for me anymore.

    Those were actually dreams for themselves.

    I am no longer fulfilling society’s requirements for parenting.

    All my children are grown up and on their own.

    It has taken two and one-half years to figure out and begin implementing what my own dreams are.

    I started taking classes, workshops, reading books, going to meet-ups, learning the computer and now it is all flowing together.

    I feel like myself for the first time.

    I am not anxious about being something for somebody else’s reasons.

    What a fruitful emergence.

    Peace is going in your own direction for your own reasons.

    This connects you to the divine Universe with Its bigger view.

    Your practice of quiet listening leads you to follow the expanding steps which are presented to you.

    The quality of your work in the beginning sets the tone for what follows.

    The completeness you desired for yourself allows you to expect completeness in your expanding work for others.

    Your desire for inclusion leads you to explore greater possibilities.

    Work on a larger scale carries the same intent as the beginning work.

    It requires a different kind of implementation, as others are drawn into it.

    You are overcoming limitations on a larger and larger scale.

    The resources you attract have the ability to meet the greater need.

    Your focus on your goals carries the ability to overcome any obstacles.

    This is new work and it carries new energy.

    There are those who need what you are doing and they continually pull you forward.

  • Quiet Aloneness

    Quiet Aloneness

    Far from the noise, from the pressures, from the demands, there is a self that is only you.

    As you breathe in the quiet of your mind, you can sense this “person” that you are.

    You are more than your body, career, or fashion and entertainment preferences.

    The quiet lets you discover the rest of you.

    There is a peace about you when you discover this.

    There is an assurance.

    You feel a communion, a commitment unlike any other.

    It is the Presence of the Universe speaking to you, embracing you.

    This Presence draws you to deeper contemplation.

    It replaces restlessness.

    It gives a sense of contentment in stillness.

    What is it we are all rushing after?

    We discover what we have within.

    We are precious.

    We are valued.

    We are so very loved.

    And we feel this even more when we regard those around us as precious, valued and so very loved.

    What would we not do for them?

    The Universe is doing this for us.

    We let it spill over into our daily life and we live our deeper contemplation.

    We let elements from our contemplation and meditation flow into our interactions with others.

    We return to our quiet aloneness to feel, and then release, the peace we find there.

    When we discover this infinite Source, we relax into the assurance of this new life.

    We contemplate, receive and give.

    It is always available to inspire, energize and comfort us in our aloneness.
