Life…

Life is a lot of work.

What is it that gives us the strength to continue when we are tired and burned out? Sometimes an inspirational idea can help us renew ourselves, and be filled with strength to fulfill our life’s purpose.

Inspiration comes in many forms. However, the root of all inspiration – is the idea that our lives are meaningful. Inspiration is knowing that what I do matters deeply to the universe. When you have the feeling that your actions are meaningful, you will become filled with strength and vigor to fulfill your life’s purpose.

The Mind Wonders

I often wonder about people that pass away… When they open their eyes and see God, do they ask why am I here already?

Does He explain to them that it was just time for them to come home? Does He say well done?

My mind often wonders about the really great people that I run across. I always assume & believe that they were Angels, sent here to show me something for a certain time frame. Then they are called home, because their job is done, their mission is complete.

Strides

The journey should be what you’ve done, not like what someone else has done!

 

Get Busy Living

Get Busy Living the life that you’ve been given. We can’t go back in time to undo what was done, we can only move forward.

If you could change something in your past, would you?

If you could change something in your past, would you?

For some reason this question has been asked many many times. People sometimes find it hard to believe when I say No, I wouldn’t change a thing. It doesn’t mean I had the best experiences, for me it just means that I know that the things I went through, and experienced where a part of my process, part of my journey.

There is no guarantee that if you had the opportunity to change it, that things would work out great.  We can only assume — if only I had, I should have, and it would be better if I did that. As the saying goes, “the grass always looks greener on the other side”, but here is the other side of that saying, the other side of that grass may not have the real deal, might be a façade.

Great Place To Be

Allow what happens to happen, to happen. Allow what is right, to be, and to expand.

Don’t fight against your own authentic nature. Embrace the unique beauty of the gifts you have to give.

Live with joy and positive purpose in the moment, whatever it may bring. Do what you know is right, what you know is best, and what you know is true.

Life is more magnificent than you can ever imagine. Go ahead and imagine anyway, from the perspective of what you love and value the most, and bring what you imagine to life.

Look at every little morsel of existence with profound gratitude and ecstatic appreciation. Commit yourself, again and again, to living a life worthy of all the abundance that’s available to you.

With each dawning day, dive gleefully into that abundance, eager to create new value and meaning as you journey through it all. Remember that where you are is a great place to be, so give the greatness a faithful life from which to brightly shine. ~ Ralph Marston

Thankful for the past

You can’t change the past. So there’s no point in continuing to rehash it in your mind.

Yes, there is much you can learn from the past. Once you’ve learned what there is to learn, move quickly on.

Though you can’t change the past, you can choose the way you feel about it. Your best choice is to always feel thankful that your past has brought you to where you are.

Where you are now is a place and time filled with great possibilities. Choose the most positive and meaningful of those possibilities, and go with them.

Go into the future with a sincere sense of gratitude and purposeful intention. Go into the future informed and inspired by the past, but not burdened by it.

The past has been good to you because it has given you the opportunity of now. Wisely use that opportunity and make the future even better. ~ Ralph Marston

Stop & Think of How Blessed You Are

You ever stop & think about how blessed you really are? How you made it thru? How you made it over? How you overcame that which you thought you couldn’t overcome?

If not, take the time and just do it. Think about what you were brought thru. Where you used to be. How you changed. How differently your light shines? How the Son shines on you everyday, no matter what you feel.

It always amazes me, how quickly people forget just how truly Blessed You Are!

Magnificent Possibilities of Now

This place, right here, is a very good place to be. On this day, in this moment and situation, all kinds of great possibilities exist.

You are at the right place and the right time to truly make a difference in the world. Let go of the worries and fears, of the judgments and old assumptions, and feel the magnificence of what’s now possible.

You have a powerful combination of awareness, ability, love, passion and presence in this place. Just imagine all the great things you can do, beginning right now, with all that.

Where you are, there is great value to be created. Who you are, is the person who can create that value in ways that are meaningful and beautiful.

You have what it takes, for what it takes flows from your authentic being. You have what it takes, so do what it takes.

Give yourself to the magnificent possibilities of now. And give your life, and all of life around you, the best moment yet.

Such a good motivational thought for today! 🙂

Our Plans

We always make our plans to do something at a later date, because we assume & hope there is always tomorrow.  I will take that Hawaii vacation next year; that Alaskan Cruise in 2016. What if we change our thoughts and just live for NOW!!

The Abundance of Now

Don’t waste the time you do have wishing for time you don’t have. Don’t ignore the good and valuable things you do have in your desire to chase what you don’t have.

Now is beautiful, and filled with abundance. To experience and benefit from that abundance, let go of the need for more.

It’s wonderful to grow stronger, more knowledgeable, wealthier and more experienced. Yet when you are constantly needing more, it is impossible to fully enjoy the abundance of now.

Life is much too valuable to be put off until you get more of this or that. Live the abundance as it comes, as it is, without imposing any conditions on it.

Be good with being here now. Be good with what is, with what you have, with what you can do, and with what you can experience, now.

What’s over there and what will be someday, can wait until someday. Rise above the need to need more, and fully live the richness and abundance that is yours right now.
