Forgiveness is the choice to see people as they are now. By bringing the past into the present we create a future just like the past. By letting go, we make room for miracles.
Marianne Williamson
Thought for Today
If you’re not willing to risk, you cannot grow.
If you cannot grow, you cannot be your best.
If you cannot be your best, you cannot be happy.
If you cannot be happy, what else is there?”
~ Les Brown
Thought for Today
Each of us are born with a unique passion and purpose, and that purpose may be as simple as deciding to be happy! When you are fulfilling this purpose, you are contributing to the health of the entire planet.
Christiane Northrup
Thought for Today
Listen carefully to your inner thoughts, no matter how small or insignificant you may judge them to be. Those tenacious thoughts that just won’t go away should be viewed by you as intention talking to you saying, “You signed up to express your unique brilliance, so why do you keep ignoring it?”
Dr Wayne W Dyer
Thought for Today
Before you speak, ask yourself if what you are going to say is….
T – True
H – Helpful
I – Inspiring
N – Necessary
K – Kind
If the answer is “no”, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid!
Meditation
The practice of meditation takes us on a fabulous journey into the gap between our thoughts, where all the advantages of a peaceful, stress-free, healthier, fatigue-free life are available, but are simply side benefits. The paramount reason for doing this soul-nourishing meditation practice is to get in the gap between our thoughts and make conscious contact with the creative energy of life itself. But this is a choice that’s entirely the responsibility of each individual. We have the potential to be instruments of the highest good for all concerned and to be miracle workers in our own lives.
– Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
Affirmation
The thoughts we think, the words we speak, the beliefs we accept, shape our tomorrows. Every morning, stand in front of a mirror and affirm to yourself:
I am filled with unconditional love, and I express it today.
I am filled with joy, and I express it today.
I am filled with peace, and I express it today.
I am filled with infinite wisdom, and I practice it today.
And this is the truth about me.
Now that is a powerful way to start your day! You can do it!
Louise L Hay
Our World
Hello dear friends!
Today I want to talk about different models of the world…..
Have you ever had a debate or argument with someone and, at some point, you failed to understand what they are getting at or where they are coming from? Sometime later you may even carry on with the argument in your head that goes something like this: “I should have said that, then they would have said this and then I would have replied like this”? Have you ever done this? I know have, until I learned better. You would be totally wrong in presuming to know how they would have responded, because the argument in your head is based on your model of the world and not theirs!
The voice in your head comes from your subconscious mind. It is based on your past history and the values you learned from your parents and all those around you. Your perception of an event or situation is distorted because it is based your model of the world. The thing to remember is that it is always so much more than that…..! The next time you catch yourself placing judgment or criticising someone else, look at it through new and different eyes, taking into account what their model of the world may be. Clear up any misunderstanding by asking what they actually mean. You will see the world in a whole new light!
Makes you think, doesn’t it?
Until next time……..
Love, light and hugs,
Doris
Affirmation
Today I trust that the events in my life are not random. My experiences are not mistakes, and the Universe, my Higher Power, and life are not picking on me. I’m going through exactly what I need to go through to learn something valuable – something that will prepare me for the joy and love I’m seeking….
Melody Beattie
Thought for Today
Treat others with kindness. You never know what burdens people bear or what they are going through. You may have power to lift their spirits or break them…. Everyone thinks that bad things happen to “someone else”. Never forget, we’re all “someone else” to someone else….
