It all starts with you and me ❤️

Heal the world - make it a better place - for you and for me!

WHAT ARE YOU SEEING??

The way we experience things depends upon the filters we use; our BELIEFS, VALUES, and the MEANINGS we attach to each event in our lives. 

We can envision the beauty and goodness in something or we can create a mental image of an arid land with no possibilities for flourishing... 

What do you choose to see? What are you focused on? 

What you think about, you bring about .. 

Perhaps, we should question our 
thinking .. Something to think about, no??

REINVENT YOURSELF EVERYDAY

Self-reflection and the desire to elevate oneself is a necessary practice if one wishes to come upon higher levels of thought and action. 

1 - Have a clear vision of who and where you want to be.

2  - Read for 30 minutes everyday - it will get your creative juices going. 

3 - Once you've accomplished a goal, guess what? It's time to  create a new one.

4 - Push yourself - search for ways to reach a new level in whatever it is you are currently doing. 

5 - Don't be afraid to venture out and explore the new opportunities awaiting you just around the corner. 

A word of advice: there's no sense in crying over what once was; Brush yourself off and leave the dust behind.  

Remember, your future is what YOU decide to make of it - make it worthwhile!

IS LOVE ENOUGH?

Do you believe that  anything is possible in an intimate relationship just because there's love?

Is it enough just to love one another?

If we settle for love only, without having a certain degree of awe toward our partner, will the relationship survive?

To have awe means to prepare myself - I know that in order for my relationship to be healthy  I need to handle it with care and caution.  

I know that having deep affection and strong feeling toward my mate isn't enough. I must also maintain a union of mutual respect and  appreciation. 

Problems arise when love is being taken for granted and then we tend to forget to honor and respect ... 

The tendency to forget is due to the fact that we do not take matter of awe seriously enough.

You have to remember that everything you do has meaning and importance - you must seriously consider your words and actions.

"Anything is possible with just Love" - is a nice slogan, but is it completely true?

Here are some suggestions to uplift, revive or perhaps restart your partnership;

1) You must handle with care so that you do not spoil the wonderful relationship you've built with great effort.

2) You must have concern for both the physical and mental wellbeing of your loved one. 

3) Maintain balance between giving and receiving - a continuous circular motion of "I love you just as I love myself."

4) Your goal is to reduce the possibility of errors, increase the loving and supportive environment as much as possible.

And lastly, sanctify everything you do - you'll act from a place of personal responsibility, love and respect towards yourself and others as well as towards creation and everything around you.

CELEBRATING FREEDOM

This 4th of July holiday think about how lucky you are to live in "the land of opportunity" - the good old USA and experience 

F R E E D O M ✨✨✨✨✨

While there are still countries around the world, that do not allow their citizens to speak freely,and act and think as they want without restraint ...LUCKILY, we have this amazing privilege. 

How awesome is that??!!

 Relish on the fact that you're not being forced to think or behave in a way that doesn't feel right to you! 

Enjoy the celebrations and be safe! 

God bless America!

DON'T ALLOW FEAR TO PARALYZE YOU

Be more afraid of keeping your dreams locked up and hidden away than of what could happen if you dare to pursue them. 

The first step towards creating a change or achieving a goal can be frightening, but often times it is the most rewarding move you can ever make. 

It's all a question of what you're willing to do in order to get everything you rightfully deserve.

So what are you waiting for?

Go out there and follow your dreams, conquer your quest for inner fulfillment - YOU ARE WORTHY!

Ten Ways To Make The Most Of Everyday.

Ten Ways To Make The Most Of Everyday. 

It isn't always easy for us .. But, it's up to us to make it better.

Sometimes we think we're behind a difficulty, but as soon as we've taken that first sigh of relief, suddenly we're faced with yet another problem we did not expect.

Mistakes happen and ups and downs will always be a part of our journey - better we accept this truth. 

Here are a some suggestions:

1 - We can only be responsible for our actions, so that we can adapt ourselves to life's  circumstances, not vice versa.

2- We'll always have challenges, the question is how effective we become at dealing with them, with the least damage to ourselves and or to the environment.

3 - We shouldn't be too harsh with ourselves - a mistake remains as such only if we do nothing to fix it.

4 - It is important to release - to repent, to ask for forgiveness and to show willingness to fix the next time around.  

5 - The constant preoccupation with the past causes us damage.

6 - We need to learn to accept when a mistake has been made - we are all human - It is important to forgive ourselves and others. 

7 - Nothing is "the end of the world" - unless we've made it that way. 

8 - There's always the next day. There is always another chance to make amends. We must just allow it all.

9 - Do not underestimate the feelings of the someone who's been hurt - express remorse -Step into he's  shoes and feel what he's feeling. This is true forgiveness.

10 - And finally accept the fact that part of life's work, is that we must never stop striving to be the best that we can be.

BEFORE YOU OPEN MOUTH

Too often we may find ourselves being careless with our words. 
Instead of just spewing them out, set a guard over the door of your lips - keep yourself from calamity. 
Before you speak, pause and think: 
Is what I'm about to say true? 
Is it kind? 
Is it beneficial? 
Is it necessary? 
Does it build up or tear down? 
If the answer to any of the questions above is NO, better keep your mouth shut! 
Use the power of your words to bring healing, encouragement and blessings, not to hurt and destroy. 
How often do you let your guard down and say words that you end up regretting?

Don't just pray, CHOOSE to ACT!

Instead of just praying for a better world, what can WE do more?

Can we do more good deeds than we've done so far? 

What if each one of us made it a point to do the best we can? 

If we love more than we hate it will be just great!!

If we find it easier to forgive, it will instantly shift how we feel. 

And when we're happy it will make everyone around us happy. 

Wouldn't it be just so wonderful if we all amplified the feelings of love and kindness within us?

Would it bring us together, stronger and more united with our family, friends and the whole world? 

It may sound farfetched, but it really isn't. 

It all begins with the desire to make this world a better place and genuinely wanting to share the love we have inside.

Start by replacing feelings of anger with compassion - you CAN do it. 

Don't just wish for things to get better, start with what YOU can do TODAY in order to implement your desire.

TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE

True love is when you love the person in front of you unconditionally - even when it's uncomfortable. 

We are not together only when it's convenient. 

We are together because together we'll find it easier to overcome problems. 

We are together because 
"Two are better than one." King Solomon 

We must learn to value relationships over possessions - people are much more than things. 

It is fellowship and companionship that brings us true pleasure and enjoyment.

COUNTING MY BLESSINGS

Today is my birthday - a reminder - evidence of how blessed I am ... All that remains, is to enjoy the gift of life.

I feel blessed and fortunate  for having a supportive and loving family and for all the special and loving people in my life. 
I am grateful for all the experiences I've had in life - they helped shape the person I am pleased to be presently. 
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have touched my life, past and present; The ones I know closely, and the ones I know less, and to all the precious virtual souls, I have met through the computer screen - thanks for adding meaning and beauty to my life.

May you be blessed always  with countless joyful moments ❤️

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

Being attentive and fully present is the greatest gift you can give someone. 

All that people truly want is to have someone care enough to listen to them. 

Kindness is a language which everyone understands - it is a bridge leading to connectedness and union. 

Be kinder than necessary - be a positive force for others.

Start the process by being kind at this very moment. 

It doesn't require special training or any specific skill. All you need to do is open your heart and be there for someone in need. 

Create your own personalized kindness movement - it can be as subtle as making yourself smile even when things aren't perfect for you - always strive to be the best that you can be.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT

Very few individuals, if any, have complete control over their lives.

We do not have to be perfect. It's ok to fail and to rise again. It is good for us to make mistakes, that's how we learn and grow. 

Everything that happens to us serves a purpose; like a magical spiral staircase leading to our ongoing evolution.  

We cannot possibly expect of ourselves or anyone else, to be "happy go lucky" 24/7.

We all have our own unique view of reality. We  must learn to adapt and make changes that will contribute to our overall well being. 

We must have faith in ourselves, it is the only way we can progress. 

We may wish to adopt the awareness that "things happen", and that it can't possibly always be easy for us. And that's ok. 

We need to remove the pressure of needing to be perfect, and instead do our best to experience as many moments of pleasure while we continue on our journey.

LIVE FOR THE MOMENTS YOU CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS

Everyday, you have a brand new chance to make things better; to feel good about yourself no matter what life brings you.  

Happiness is not just a concept, it can be real ... But you have to create it yourself. 

Here's a quick and effective pick me up that we can all do!

Write down a list of everything that is currently good in your life: your health, career, children, people in your life etc.

This is your personal GRATITUDE  list. 

Keep it with you at all times, in order to remind yourself how fortunate you are. 

When you feel discouraged or sad take a look at your list. 

This will increase your positivity and energy levels, which in turn will have you smiling 
at any given time 😃

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Wishing all mothers a joyful day, a day that is dedicated just for you, to honor and give thanks for being there for others, unconditionally.

You're always near with a tender smile, guiding those you love - like the sunshine lighting and warming their day. 

Let yourself have a worry free day, a day when you can look around with pleasure. To enjoy the fruits of your labor - the investment was worth it, you can be proud and satisfied.

Please know that no great disaster will occur, if you take a little time for yourself, to relax, to breathe, to nurture and take care of yourself, and perhaps to even dream a little ... 

Allow this to yourself from time to time, you deserve it, and not just for today! 

Wishing all you dear women, a special and a very Happy Mother's Day 🌹

THE WORLD WAS CREATED FOR ME

The world was created for the betterment of its creatures. However we cannot experience goodness unless we create it ourselves.

Man was born in the image of God
referring to the spiritual part within him.
It separates humans from animals in the world, designating them to govern as God intended. 

Part of being in the image of God says that man has the ability to make choices and decisions independently. When a person chooses evil selection it is hurting the image of God within him.

Our whole lives revolve around goals and interests - we must be able to make decisions according to comparability between whether it promotes my interests or not, otherwise there is no free choice.

When do we make changes? When what we have done so far, has not provided what we desire. 

We need to ask ourselves, how is this related to my interests?

Once I know what benefits me I can more easily strive for that purpose, and live a fulfilled life as God intended. 

Further more, when I fully realize that the world was created solely for my benefit, I will always remind myself "This is also for the best ..." No matter what life brings to me. 

I won't blame anyone, I won't complain, and I won't stay angry for long. Why?
Because the world was created for me.

HAPPY .. IS WHERE I WANT TO BE

Happy... Is Where I Want To Be
“Anyone can become angry – that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way – this is not easy.” 
- Aristotle 

It is important to experience a full range of feelings. And yes, even the unpleasant ones. 

Know how to transform the not-so-good feeling to ones that will make you feel good. In fact, that is just one of our jobs! 

It is our personal duty to watch out for our own well-being. It's not healthy for us to be in a place of anger for too long; not in any way, shape or form.

The happiest people are those who enjoy doing well for others. People who are seeking to do good for themselves only, are like those who chase butterflies - the more they pursue it, the more it seems distant and unattainable. 

The less you focus on yourself and care more for others, the happier you'll be

Simple and doable.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON

Keep Calm, Its Good for Your Health

Are you a mostly calm or nervous person? Are you one of those who say, "It's not that I'm irritated, it's just that people are annoying...” 

It's time to stop blaming others and instead take full responsibility for how you feel. 

You don't really believe that anyone can annoy you, do you? 

No one can make you feel anger, hurt, or nervousness unless you allow yourself to feel that feeling. 

The more humble you are, the less anger you feel – you’ll become aware that in the majority of times you have no real reason to be angry.

Concentrate on bringing out the best in others, it will keep you positive and bring out the best in you. 

Do what you really want to do - it is your soul urging you to take action, that for some reason you are stalling to do - that will surely bring peace and calmness to your heart.

After all, there is no greater agony than a dream that is within reach and has not yet been realized.

AWAKEN YOUR SOUL AND FIND YOUR PURPOSE

So What If No One Else Sees It, I See It Just Fine

Even if no one sees or believes my vision, I must see it for myself. 
I have to believe it. I need to have faith in myself. 

I have to be my own cheering crowd, or else, I won't survive.

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me". 

It is comforting to know you are protected even at your lowest hour.

I WILL FACE MY FEAR. 

I'm bigger than it is. It will not define me. I will take action and arrive at my destination. 
I am more than enough!

Sidestep temporary concerns and take a deeper look at the big picture. 

Why are you here? What are you doing today to bring yourself one step closer to achieving your soul's purpose?

CHALLENGES ARE LESSONS FOR YOUR GROWTH

Challenges are lessons - Divinely designed for your growth and expansion. 

Stay determined and filled with hope so that you can stay on the path that will promote you and contribute to your well being, as well as personal development.

Stay strong in dealing with "a passing storm": a temporary disorder that appears every now and then.

Pump encouragement from knowing, "What doesn't grow, eventually shrivels up and withers away .."

Put an emphasis on your strengths not on your weaknesses, it will lift you up and invigorate you. 

Choose to flourish and rise above the horizon, beyond the limitations of your mind  ...

Feel free to be who you are - an  omnipotent being.
