Each of us is responsible for our own joy

The thoughts of today plant the seeds of tomorrow’s experiences
That’s Right! My world is a reflection of my thoughts, actions and beliefs
 
Consider what you wish to create in your life. Are your choices leading toward your destination or away from it? The way to manifest your dreams is to live as if they have already manifested. Treat your job, home, partner and life situation as if it is your dream situation and life will rise up to meet you. Your happiness, gratitude, passion and inspiration will create a magnetic energy to draw more beauty into your experience.
The ego loves to play the game of “I can’t be in acceptance of my life situation, because then nothing will ever change….” however, nothing is further from the truth. In order to assess our choices from a space of clarity and consciousness, we must begin from a space that is free of resistance, anger or desperation.
The seeds of love and compassion will bloom in unexpected and magical ways. Tend your garden well. When weeds of anger or doubt crop up, attend to them immediately when they are small rather than waiting until they overrun all the beauty you are creating. Cultivate joy each and every day.
Today my intention is to remember that I am responsible for my own joy.

Mastery and infinite possibility

This moment contains infinite possibilities.
That’s Right! Divine peace and harmony surround me at all times
 
Life is a flow of events that we can choose to interpret in any way that we wish. Our level of consciousness determines how much we can see of the limitless possibilities available in each and every moment. Habit keeps us doing the same things in the same way – often to our detriment.
When the soul is ready to expand, life will present an opportunity to break free from the patterns we have already mastered. Situations we once thought we understood no longer respond to us in the same way – this is because we are changing.
Practice taking yourself out of your comfort zone. If you’re a fast paced person, purposely choose to participate in something which slows you down. Alternately, for those who take life at a quiet pace, put yourself in a position where you must be active and vocal.
Our level of discomfort in unusual situations is an indicator that we have become too complacent with the known in our lives. Once you have mastered something, there is no need to repeat it… now you have the opportunity to allow one of the other facets of your infinite nature to sparkle with life and possibility.
Today my intention is to keep in mind that what I don’t want to change is exactly what I need to change the most. 

Sharing kindness

Share your light…
That’s Right! It gives me joy to take care of myself and others
Authentic caring allows kindness to flow throughout the Universe. To properly share your light, it’s important to be unattached to the outcome of your efforts. Be joyful simply for the satisfaction it brings.

The natural desire to be of assistance can sometimes become intertwined with ego – needing to feel needed, wanting to be seen as helpful or hoping for a particular end result. When the desire to assist comes from ego, our energy will draw in people who believe they are helpless. When you watch your motivations and consciously allow the light of the Divine to flow through you, you’ll discover the depth of your contribution to the raising the energy of our collective consciousness.

Everything – every action, lesson, interaction or delight – is simply one more path toward Wholeness. Kindness will never deplete your energy… in fact, even though you may never discover the long ranging results of your efforts,  fulfillment will be felt in your peaceful heart.
Today my intention is to welcome guests into my life with love and laughter.

The point of power is in the present moment

This moment is your point of power.
 
That’s Right! I choose to begin and end my day with gratitude
Nothing is more important than your state of consciousness. Periodically observe yourself, checking to see if you’re holding any tension in the body. Notice if the mind wanders to disquieting memories or doubt and consciously bring yourself fully into the present moment.
Bask in the radiance of this new day. Open to the realm of infinite possibility and simply Be Here Now…
Breathe deeply and create inner balance. Then all your decisions and actions will come from a place of clarity and empowerment.
Today my intention is to walk through each day with a calm heart. 

Walk into the unknown with faith

When patterns repeat, it’s because the mind is more comfortable with the known than the unknown, even when the unknown brings peace, joy, harmony and balance…
That’s Right! Freedom and change are in the air. I discard old ideas.
Awakening is a different process for each of us. One day, the spirit breaks through the stories of the mind and plants a seed of awareness, that change is possible and we begin to tend that idea with conscious intent.

For those not ready to break free from patterns of limitation, be compassionate. Hold the knowing that all will unfold perfectly and consciously interact with kindness. It’s challenging to watch someone you love harm themselves; however, all is part of the process of awakening.

Today my intention is to create memories filled with peace, kindness and compassion for others.

Love and space and freedom

I honor your path
I bring an unprotected heart to our meeting place
I drink from your well
I hold no cherished outcome
I will not negotiate by withholding
I am not subject to disappointment

That’s Right! I choose to create harmony and loving communication in every situation
When you live in alignment with the Celtic Vows of Friendship, you consciously create harmony in all of your relationships. Sometimes love requires that we allow others to learn their own lessons in their own time. Compassionate detachment teaches us to listen with empathy and non-judgment, rather than attempting to remove their pain.
Relationships are tremendous vehicles for spiritual growth. In all difficulties, if we are directly present with our own pain and seek all peace from within, we can step beyond the limitations of the past into a world filled with vibrant possibility.
So, love by allowing the winds of heaven to dance in between you. Be present, and let kindness be your guide.
Today my intention is to remember that the gateways to wisdom and knowledge are always open to me.

Knowledge vs Wisdom

Seek wisdom

That’s Right! When I release things which are no longer required for my growth, I create the space in which something new can be experienced
The heart that seeks to awaken, to live authentically, cuts through the illusions of the mind. This spiritual quest opens the door to new experience, and only through releasing desire and expectations can we tap into our inner wisdom.
There is great value in expanding beyond your comfort zone. New experiences provide an opportunity to awaken our senses and awareness. Learning to be comfortable in the face of the unknown is a stepping-stone to clarity and truth.
Today my intention is to easily flow with new experiences and opportunities.

Seeing your enemy as a teacher

Those who challenge you the most on the physical plane, love you the most on the spiritual plane…

That’s Right! Everyone is my teacher. I am willing to release all patterns of resistance within me
Your purpose is to awaken. Those who challenge you should be considered your healing angels because they are willing to risk losing your love (in this lifetime) in order to assist you in your growth.
Until we are ready to awaken, we often run from these challenging relationships, only to draw in another person who will offer the same lesson in a different way. This will occur until it is no longer needed.
Consider those who trigger you and purposely send gratitude and light to them. Ask to see things clearly and look from the heart, rather than through the filter of the ego. You may find the breakthrough for which you have been searching.
Today my intention is to see only love. 

Judgment and love cannot coexist in the same space

The greatest gift that you can offer is an authentic interaction without judgment. Everyone wants to have the same experience on their life’s journey – acceptance.

That’s Right! Knowing that we are all doing the very best we can do based upon our soul age, history, imprinting and level of consciousness, I choose to accept everyone just as they are.
What if you had someone in your life that consistently supported you each and every step of the way? There would be no need for the ego to engage, to become defensive or insecure or to worry about someone else’s mood. If you are fortunate to have cultivated such a relationship, you know how valuable and rare it is.

You can choose to be that person for someone (or everyone!) in your life. What you give is returned to you, often in wonderful and unexpected ways. Practice with the little things – day to day matters are there to aid us in cultivating our desirable qualities. Explore different points of view, celebrate your connection and honor each path as perfect. This will open new dimensions of wisdom within you.

Today my intention is to honor this space, this moment and this soul as sacred. Let me be an authentic example of unconditional love and acceptance.

Steppingstones or obstacles… you choose

The beauty of free will…
That’s Right! I create miracles in my ever-changing world. I am open to the wonders of the Universe
Living a mystical life means seeking a conscious inner experience in every situation for the sole purpose of discovering truth. Beyond words and thoughts lies the infinite energy of the Divine, guiding and directing our quest for awakening, leading us to whatever situation is needed for our soul’s growth.Inner wounds cannot be healed until an experience brings them to the surface. Once they are causing an upset, we have the opportunity to become more aware of the message and purposely chose to transform them into steppingstones of awakening.

This is the beauty of free will – you can choose to remain trapped in the limiting patterns of the past or set yourself free with intention. There is a spiritual lesson in every moment you experience – if you choose to seek it, you will surely find it.

Today my intention is to love what is. All is well.
