Celebrate yourself

You have a purpose.

That’s Right! I am a lifetime student of love

Celebrate yourself. Take time to see how far you have come and honor the process of your awakening. Choose to see all of your quirks and perceived flaws through the eyes of love and transform them into your greatest assets with the knowledge that they, too, are part of your unique journey and have a specific role to play in your souls growth.

Let self-love spark a movement of joy in your life. Beauty comes from within and radiates outward changing the world around you in myriad ways with your light and laughter.

This is the moment of transformation. Allow joy to guide you and be at ease with where you are and who you are. Your life will be your message.

Today my intention is to dance in the love, light and laughter of the Universe.

Strength through surrender

There is great strength and empowerment to be discovered through surrender and acceptance

That’s Right! I am willing to walk my talk and speak my truth with integrity

There are three stages of consciousness: those who simply work and follow mindlessly, seeing each day as something to get through, those who have learned to stand in their truth and say ‘no’ when appropriate, cultivating their unique gifts and strengths and finally, those who, having mastered empowerment, discover that the greatest strength of all lies within innocence, trust and playfulness.

All of us go through these processes of growth. Don’t stop until you see life as an adventure, full of joy and miracles… and even then, don’t stop. There are always more levels to explore.

When we rise above the mechanisms of the ego, we have nothing to prove, nothing mundane to strive for and nothing stands in the way of love. Discover the power of silence. Allow others to be where they are, honoring their paths as sacred and let your life be your message.

Today my intention is to walk in the mystery. The Divine works through all beings and situations.

Consciously directing energy

Every thought, word and action sends waves of energy throughout the Universe.

That’s Right! I open my consciousness to all the miracles of life

The ego may try to tell you that you have failed or that you should be farther along and more conscious by now. Lack of clarity or a sense of futility can inhibit you from accepting the miracles that are offered to you. Observe the energy that you send out into the world. There will be times when you feel deeply aligned with the Divine and others when it seems that nothing works. The key is being willing to receive: messages, signals, assistance, gifts, insight and joy.

Each of us shares the same soul purpose of awakening to our true infinite nature. As part of that process we created a world of opposites – cultivating courage by experiencing fear, learning how to love by rising above hatred or awakening humility through the futility of arrogance.

All that you seek is already within you. Be present to life. Focus on creating authentic joy in your experience. Be willing to receive.

Today my intention is to be willing to release old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve me.

Existence opens

Every moment is filled with limitless possibility.

That’s Right! I rise above all limitations. I am Divinely guided and inspired

You are a spark of the infinite light of love temporarily expressing itself as human. As you learn to trust in the processes of life, your unique adventures will deepen your personal connection to the Divine.

Any darkness that we experience is created by our own limiting beliefs, ego-generated perceptions and one dimensional interpretation of what we see. The Universe is immensely intelligent, conscious and filled with dimensions to explore. As you participate in the dance of enlightenment, your ever-expanding consciousness creates the space in which a transformation can occur.

Today my intention is to remember that every experience leads me to a greater understanding of my purpose on earth.

Happiness is the path

Happiness is something that you can consciously choose over and over until it is your natural response to life.

That’s Right! I am responsible for my own joy

Your thoughts create a filter through which you experience and interpret the events of your life. We live in an infinite universe, each person translating what they see based upon their level of consciousness. These perceptions can vary dramatically – someone vibrating at the level of Fear or Anger creates incredible stress and anxiety while one who vibrates at the level of Willingness or Joy creates a authentic sense of peace and stability.

You can purposely shift yourself to higher levels of consciousness by choosing happiness as often as possible. This entails observing your thoughts and selecting to focus upon those that strengthen and encourage rather than those that undermine your ability to operate from your fullest potential.

Do your best to have compassion for those who operate from the lower states of consciousness. It can be challenging to see the good that is inherent in any given situation when one is struggling with paralyzing fear or a cloak of anger. You can choose to bring a peaceful and patient kindness to the present moment rather than descending with them into the lower levels of experience.

Today my intention is to scatter seeds of joy and kindness through my thoughts, words and actions.

Soul connections

“Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends.”
~ Hafiz

What if that was the underlying truth inherent within every situation and relationship of your life? It is.

That’s Right! I choose to live with an open heart

In the eternal dance of awakening, the scripts may change, but the players remain the same. Have you ever had an immediate response (positive or negative) to someone upon meeting them? That typically is one soul recognizing a shared history with another.

Love is the energy that resides at the core of the relationships, dramas and stories that we experience. At times it can be hard to imagine this. When someone is excessively challenging, when you’re engaged in loss or struggle, the immediate visceral response feels much stronger than a loving soul connection, but it is there nonetheless. Time and distance, consciously releasing energetic attachment to the past and moving into forgiveness all create space and perspective. As we process the lesson and recognize our strengths, we may come to understand the roles played by those who have challenged us and have a greater appreciation for the nuances and beauty of our unique journey.

Today my intention is to honor this moment as sacred. I choose to embrace the present moment with the knowledge that I am a lifetime student of love.

All change begins within

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

That’s Right! I treat myself and others with great care and respect

The soul, knowing that all change begins within, seeks to cultivate inner peace. The ego, thriving on conflict, seeks to change the world. When our energy is directed outward through anger, judgment or the need to be right, we become distracted from our true purpose.

Heal the wounds that you carry through self-observation. Awareness is the first step of transformation. Once we shine the light of consciousness on a particular pattern, it’s hold over us begins to decrease. Through gentle and consistent attention and mindful responses to life, we are able to explore the infinite levels of love.

As you awaken, you bring healing energy to the world around you. Be the love, the compassion, the kindness and the change you wish to see in the world. Your authenticity will spark the light of awareness in others.

Today my intention is to constantly find new ways of looking at my world. I choose to see beauty everywhere.

Harmony

Authenticity is the key ingredient for a joyful life.

That’s Right! I am joyously exuberant and choose to live in harmony with all of life

Harmony is created by living in alignment with your true nature and soul purpose. When we expend our precious energy trying to please others at the expense of our own joy, conflict arises. Allow your love to grow richer by embracing the hidden harmonies of life. See beyond rules, structured belief and the “shoulds” that rule the mind by recognizing that all things serve our collective growth.

Embrace your unique way of being in the world. Transform perceived challenges into empowerment. Bring the loving energy of forgiveness into your life experience. Only then will you discover the harmony and joy that is your birthright.

When you realize that you are entire, complete and nothing is missing, you are fulfilled. You are a living expression of the love, light and laughter of the Divine. You have recognized your potential.

Today my intention is to love who I am and what I do.

The process of enlightenment

See moments of disruption in your experience as opportunities to purge old patterns and energy from your life.

That’s Right! I am aware that what I do not want to change is exactly what I need to change the most

All change, no matter how small, instigates a cleansing process that affects everything around it. Even a mundane action such as cleaning out a closet can send a room into brief turmoil while sorting, purging and rearranging. With the small things, it’s easier to see the scope of the transformation and push through any discomfort. The reward? An organized space that makes life a little easier.

When the purge is emotional or spiritual in nature, it’s more challenging to recognize the scope of the discomfort we need to experience. So, the mind clings to the known believing that we “shouldn’t” have discomfort or pain and brings up inner resistance to change.

Do your best to turn and face any discomfort or fear that arises. It will lead you on a journey of cleansing things, people and beliefs that no longer serve your growth. Utilize discomfort as a signal that true transformation is in play. Bring a sense of peace and purpose to any chaos that arises with the knowledge that your soul knows exactly what it is doing.

Today my intention is to remember that every experience I have leads me to a greater understanding of my purpose on Earth.

Happiness is just a thought away

Live totally and intensely in the present moment, recognizing its magnificence, beauty and potential. When each moment is lived fully, your life becomes a series of amazing moments.

That’s Right! My thoughts create my interpretation and experience of the world

Many people, trying to be happy, create unhappiness in their experience by doing too much and trying too hard rather than being. Happiness comes by allowing things to be as they are. Rest, relax, receive, experience, detach… and repeat.

Extreme focus and desire can create a narrow and limiting experience. When we expand to receive whatever life has to offer (without mental commentary), we create an ability to participate in the mysteries of life itself. Self-imposed prisons can be dropped by shifting how we think. Consciously notice your thoughts and focus upon those that enhance the beauty of the present moment. The key is to be fully present with whatever you are doing, deeply centered in this moment so that you allow the light, love and laughter of the Divine to flow through you into all that you do.

Today my intention is to create peacefulness in my mind. I trust my inner wisdom knowing that everything plays a purpose in my souls awakening.
