Life is often tough.  In our angst, sadness, discouragement and anger, we find ourselves feeling helpless - even hopeless.  

if you think about the difficult, and the wonderful, think about which can make you stronger, moving you toward your destiny?  

As Winston Churchill pointed out, you can see adversity in every opportunity, or you can see the opportunity in every adversity. 

Even in failure or mistakes, look for the opportunity, especially when you don’t understand.  When you accept in that moment that this adversity, just like every blunder, missed deal and broken heart will eventually play to your favor, you may just see the door that has been opened for you. 

Or, it may take awhile, giving you an opportunity to practice endurance and growth.  

It’s a set-up.  Closed doors are often the Universe’s way of steering you in a much better direction.  Look for the direction.  This is your moment of power.  Say, “I can do this!”
​
To your next open door,

Share love with everyone you meet, a smile, a hug, a word.  Gladden their hearts.

Listen.  Try to understand.  Say thank you often, and say, “It’s my pleasure,” more.
​
Be gentle.  Answer softly and with your heart.  Be a treasure to your loved ones.  Laugh a little more.  Say lots of gratitude things to everyone as you go through your days.  

Notice God’s beautiful Earth.  Breathe in its wonder.
​
Speak your love.

Speak it again.

Speak it yet

Once again.

May I start?

I love you.  I truly love you,

Chris, and from Claude too.

Claude and I made an offer on an historic house that we absolutely loved.  We could not wait to move in. 

Then -- the deal fell through as the owner refused to sell. 

We were devastated, sure our failed dream was irreparable.  Six months later, we found a house that is ever so much more perfect, a much better investment, and did not need the time, money and energy of repairs of the first house.  

While we had no choice, we needed to let it go. 

We found that initially impossible, then started using positive thoughts and changed our emotional states. 

Then and only then could the Universe open a new door, a MUCH better house.  Now, three years later, we are grateful for the closed door and its lesson.

Why to let it go?

- so it doesn’t cause you stress in anger, frustration, self-recrimination and disappointment.
- so you can be happier and more enjoy your relationships with others, 

How to let it go?

- work to make a decision to let it go. It won’t disappear by itself.

- see yourself as powerful, not the victim, and use positive thoughts:

- by repeating positive thoughts to yourself over and over until you are in the new place of peace. (thoughts like, “I am willing to let go.”  “Only good comes from this situation.”  “In patience I wait and learn.”) 
​
- stay in this moment and make it as good to great as you can.

Louise Hay had a passion for loving and dedicated her life to teaching how to live a positive and empowered life.  The power is in the present moment.  It is there that you plant the seeds for tomorrow. 
​
Louise taught the use of repeating positive statements until they imbue you with their power, because every thought you think is creating your future.  

Be comforted today as you affirm over and over, “Everything is working out to my highest good.  Only good comes from this situation.  I am safe.  All is well in my world.”

Let your spirit pick up in comfort and awareness of your true self.  

To a wonderful day, with love,

Dream Big.
​
Start Small.

Image your Gig.

That’s All.​

Love,

If you really think about it - do you see you’ve amazed even yourself with what you’ve done in your life?  

Isn’t it amazing how your dreams only go so far.  Then you reached a dream, and have another, and then reach that.  

The Infinite Intelligence that gave you your dreams leads, guides and reveals to you, the perfect plan for the unfolding of your dreams.
​
Of course you can keep going.  You are a part of the Infinite.

Do you wonder if you are on the right track? 

...what your life’s purpose is? 

Life can be and is, often scary, confusing and a walk on the wild side.  

Just look at the choices you have right now, and choose to be busy with what seems the most desirable choice.  

Be happy now.  
​
The sun will break through the clouds and your path will find you.

My 11-year-old  daughter said she “looked silly” in her outfit one day.  I asked her what looked silly. She responded that the “other girls were looking at me and I could tell they thought I looked silly.”  

How easy it is to take others’ opinions into oneself.  And often not even realize it.  
Sometimes it is what you learned as a child, and often it is what you BELIEVE others think of you. 

Complex!  Not even what people really think, but rather what we THINK they think!

Regardless, here is a power thought for your day,

“I now go beyond other people’s fears and limitations, 
and I now go beyond MY fears and limitations.”  
​
You can!  

The power of your thoughts is incredible! 
​Every one of your thoughts emits a potent message out, into the Universe. 

That power joins the power of many others' thoughts, and even the movement of molecules in the things around us.  

Your powerful 'cosmic waves' are part of the Universe, the sea of energy we live in. And they boomerang right back at you with more positive vibrations in your life!

Here’s a fabulous power thought for your day:  

“Every day, in every way, I’m getting [better and better; healthier and healthier; stronger and stronger; happier and happier…]"

Choose happy, positive and energizing vibrations for your thoughts.  It can make you exactly that - happy, positive and energizing!

Happy day, today and EVERY day!
