How often do things not work out the way you wanted, The way you thought? Something went wrong? Nope - God’s plan is different than ours. Move along in expectation that you will see That things went in ways that will change your life In ways That are not yet apparent. You may just be amazed. The more responsibility you take for your life Determines how many dreams, How much change How fabulous Your life will be. Don’t blame anyone. (That includes yourself). Go for fabulous.

In times of craziness - like now -
Fear is a normal reaction. Thoughts race and it’s hard to find the positive ones. Want to change that? Change your mindset. Remember that love is the greatest force in the universe. Reset your beliefs through loving. Love your loves. Truly. Love your friends. And love your strangers in each day. Your beliefs will stop holding you in negativity. You can breathe. Deeply. Through love. How often do things not work out the way you wanted? The way you thought? Something went wrong? Nope - God’s plan is different than ours. Move along in expectation that you will see That things went in ways that will change your life In ways That are not yet apparent. You may just be amazed. The more responsibility you take for your life Determines how many dreams, How much change How fabulous Your life will be. Don’t blame anyone. (That includes yourself). Go for fabulous. YOU can be the reason Somebody feels valued, loved, supported, happy, Walking away from you with a spring in their step. Be the reason today for every single person you meet. Try it. Even the drivers in the next lane. Send love to them. Allow them to pass if they like. Smile as they do. Suddenly their moment is better. And SO IS YOURS. Don’t you look back at memories - wonderful memories - Of the most mundane things? Your toddler, now grown, running as only a toddler can, Wobbling from one foot to the other. Your heart fills. Your moments hand-in-hand with a love, walking on the beach Or in the woods Or in the city among high-energy tall buildings full of wonderful people. Your heart swells with the memory. Working - on the job - with coworkers, The laughs and fun, the challenges and successes. Wishing you could re-experience those folks and moments. Today is one of those memories. It’s not pasted in the scrapbook of your mind yet, But you can fill your heart, experience it fully NOW. TODAY. Paste that memory into your mind As you go through the day, and get to the evening Full and joyous. WOW. Grief is really just love. All the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unshared love gathering in the corners of your eyes, The lump in your throat, and in the heart place in your chest. Love with no place to go. — from Jamie Anderson (words reworked in my heart) Someone most precious in my life, A life journey shared, Here in this life, was called Walter Doyle. Always greeted everyone with a warm smile As if he’d been waiting for that one his whole life. When he spoke, it was almost at a whisper, So you paid close attention to every word. Lightworker. Carried his own pain. Yet ALWAYS turned it into light and love The fool thinks rank gives you power and privilege. The wise man knows rank gives you responsibility, And privilege to love Opportunity to be light in this world. Live in your wisdom. Your love and light changes the world. Every single moment. This new day is unwritten. No boundaries, no rules. Unconditional, unlimited opportunity. Keep yesterday’s rules, boundaries, happenings, hardships OUT of your NEW day! Hold your arms up to the sky And twirl around Be in this new, unwritten day of joy! We make our world Everything that happens Is related to our thoughts, To our emotions. Truly Your world is of your thoughts. Today Pray, love, give, be thankful For it all. God will give THAT back. You’ll see. You want a healing touch? World peace? A world of abundance and joy? First think. Then let go And go into your day Being that healer, Peacemaker, Abundance and joy! Think about… How do you treat people who are kind to you? How do you treat people who are oblivious to you? How do you FEEL when people seem unkind to you Or disagree with you? Gets tougher - How do you feel when someone strongly disagrees with you? The more we learn about love, kindness, compassion, light work, The easier it gets. As Rabbi Harold Kushner said, ”If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with thankfulness/gratitude, a feeling that nurtures your soul." |
