As you walk in the world, it’s important to express gratitude for all that unfolds in your experience. Recognizing the potential within each person and viewing each situation through the eyes of love honors the divinity, fulfillment and sacredness of the present moment. It’s important to remember that all of existence is actively participating in your awakening.

This conscious approach to life sets the stage for perfection. Coincidences and synchronistic energies merge to provide the experience your soul needs most for your growth. A simple “thank you” acknowledges your recognition of the love and support that accompanies you each and every step of the way.

Be the change you wish to see. Embody compassion, kindness, joy and gentleness and expect the very best from all that you have drawn into your experience. Gratitude takes us higher. It changes our energetic frequency and declares our willingness to take responsibility for our own joy. Gratitude transforms our responses to life situations and challenges while allowing us to see things from a higher and healthier perception.

When you find yourself in a position where you must articulate spiritual ideas, give advice, teach or explain your beliefs, you may discover that the act of articulation provides an opportunity to solidify your inner wisdom and bring it into the world of form.

Others may seek your advice. Pay attention to the words you say, for more often than not, the advice will also pertain to your own life situation. The other person is there to play the role of a sounding board so that your inner wisdom can emerge.

This is a gift that we give to one another. Speaking with compassion while sharing high level concepts such as acceptance, willingness, forgiveness, karmic balancing or love can sometimes allow us to bypass the ego and access profound spiritual truths. Pay attention. You are far wiser than you know.

Love allows you to discover who you are in the presence of another.

Being at peace in the present moment comes from being One with what is. Our relationships often challenge us because we wish the other would behave a certain way. When our wishes aren’t met, negative energy flows through the channels of old wounds and we over-react to the present day situation. Of course, the ego inflates our ire by repeating a certain negative ‘truth’ in the mind until we take action based upon old repetitive patterns.

Many run from the pain rather than attempting to discover its purpose in their experience. The pain abates, the search for a new relationship begins and eventually we draw in someone who will again trigger that old wound. Repetitive circumstances indicate that something profound is ready to be healed, discovered or released. Bless those who grace your life, for without them you cannot see the baggage that you carry.

As old wounds are healed, there are less triggers that will interfere with your happiness. Life becomes more peaceful and you will be able to share the best of yourself with those you love.

Our love, our consciousness and attention transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. This recognition of Oneness comes through mindfulness and appreciation. When you choose to create moments of beauty in your experience, you are communing with the Divine.

The small ways in which we touch one another creates a cumulative energy which transforms the mundane into the magical. This alchemy of spirit has a delightful impact on the world around you.

So, pick up trash when you notice it and make your corner of the world a more beautiful place. Stop and help someone who appears to be struggling. Smile at the antics of a bird. Get on the wavelength of a child who sparks the imagination of your own inner child. Everything is sacred.

Your life is filled with beauty. Align yourself fully within the present moment and honor it as sacred. Close your eyes and accept the embrace of the Beloved. This is the dance of awakening.

When you look through the eyes of love, only appreciation remains. With gratitude, we celebrate our friendships, experience the birth of a brand new day, seek enlightenment and ultimately discover peace. No matter what unfolds within your life circumstances, you can choose to bring a conscious, empowered, joyful attitude to your journey.

One suggestion is to approach each situation as if you have purposely written the script that you see playing out before you. Every circumstance in your experience has something of intrinsic value within it meant to assist in your soul’s awakening. Your job is to step into the energetic field of discovery with an open heart.

When we go inward, we discover of a limitless dimension of silence and peace. More than the absence of noise, the mind itself is quiet and we can commune with the infinite. Rather than seeking to experience this stillness far away from the intensity of busyness of the world, seek to find it within yourself and purposely bring it into your life experience.

The awakening soul learns how to access this sense of stillness and peace, even in the midst of chaotic situations. Yes, this takes practice but is well worth the exploration. Make a conscious choice not to allow another person or circumstance to dictate the level of your joy. Outside factors ebb and flow; however, inner grace is permanent, infinite and complete.

You are here to discover your true nature as a divine, infinite spirit of pure potential.

We dream a new world into being by opening to possibility, being willing to accept a miracle and encouraging growth – both in ourselves and in those around us. Practice living beyond expectation and limitation and allow the source of all life to flow through you. Keep things simple. Miracles happen when we get out of our own way.

Take the time to breathe. Create balance often throughout the day using the tools that you have acquired. Since nothing is static, it’s empowering to look at a situation with the realization that there are still many facets waiting to be explored.

Life will always present the ideal situation for your growth. The spiritual student will look at a challenge and ask themselves what there is to be learned. A master will look at the ease and joys of life asking the very same question…
