“God grant me the serenity
to accept the people I cannot change,
the courage to change the one I can,
and the wisdom to know it’s me.” – Author Unknown
I think that’s perfect wisdom.

Thoughtful Thursdays # 47 New Years Day 2014
The most powerful anchor on our potential to soar high in life is the past. The past contains the dead weight of experience, learned beliefs and all our mistakes. Life cannot truly begin until we are able to say goodbye to the legacies of yesterday at will. Like a filing cabinet, the past is a resource of information for learning, but it is not a place to live. When you go to work do you spend your day in the filing cabinet? How often will you/did you live in the past today? Say goodbye and make it final. Saying farewell to yesterday, last month and last year is the sign of a person who wants to live for today and is truly alive to all the possibilities of ‘the moment’, while fully aware that all they think, say and do right now, creates tomorrow.

Wow, just yesterday it was Christmas. It seems the anticipation of Christmas is endless. Then in just twenty four short hours Christmas comes and goes until next year. Now comes the anticipation for New Years eve. Which will come and go just as quickly.
Time is gift. Let’s not waste it. Before you know it time will pass just as quickly as Christmas and New Years. Do the best with your time so you don’t regret wasting it.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

Thoughtful Thursdays #42 Winner
Louise Hay is my idol. Here is some of her wisdom.
I am a natural winner.
As we learn to love ourselves we become powerful. Our love for ourselves moves us from being victims to being winners.
Our love for ourselves attracts to us wonderful experiences. People who feel good about themselves are naturally attracti9ve because they have a n aura about them that is just wonderful. They are always winning at Life. We can be willing to learn to love ourselves. We can be winners too.

Thoughful Thursdays # 41 Communication
Sometimes the best form of communication is silence. It does not mean the absence of thought (which is impossible). Silence allows for enough detachment to see the chatter of the mind and the truth.
When we allow silence we become powerful because eternal truths are revealed. The old worn out untrue stories we tell ourselves are shown for what they are: Lies. Our intuition is present. Silence develops our mental and spiritual power.
Silence in interactions is a powerful tool to cool anger and show you can be trusted. Silence allows for any situation to burn itself out to it’s proper conclusion.
Silence is grounding and perfect. You can expect your mind to rebel and resist. By practicing silence the rebel and resistance goes away long enough for your intuition to emerge.
Try it. Sit quietly in the morning for 10 minutes and be in the moment. If your mind is racing, follow your breath. You will notice a change in yourself and your day. You will be peaceful and clear headed.
Cherish the silence.

Thoughtful Thursdays #40 When things don’t work out.
Sometimes things just don’t go the way you want them to. I yell and fight, pushy, manipulate and scheme for circumstances to change to be what I want them to be. I try to force my own way into the situation and bring the issue to my own satisfactory conclusion.
The more I battle with what is happening the more I hurt inside. I am making the situation harder and harder for myself and others.
Then I had an epiphany. I was not paying attention to what was happening and thought I was the only one who was right therefore things had to go my way.
I decided to surrender, not in defeat but to let the situation play out by itself without my manipulation. As soon as I stopped struggling against resisting change I became calm. I do what is within my control and let go of everything else including the outcome.
Looks like I just got a big dose of wisdom.
Here’s what I learned and I hope it helps you too.
1. If you have done all you can, do no more.
2. Have patience and let things unravel the way its meant to.
3. The conclusion may not be what you want but it will be for you highest good.
4. Stop struggling with having things your own way.
5. Pick and choose your battles.
6. Step back and see is its really worth the effort.
7. If it’s hard for you to step back give yourself positive self talk.
It’s not always easy to allow the flow of life to move in its own direction. Just know that all will be well.
Happy surrender.

Thoughtful Thursday #39 Halloween
Halloween is the best day of the year for fun and imagination. Everyone has the chance to dress up and be a creature, superhero, witch, ghost, celebrity or whatever the mind can conjure.
I believe in all things spiritual. I believe in all things magical. I believe in the dark side and the light side. I believe in the power of healing.
Conjuring is about focusing your mind on some outcome. That’s the same as positive thinking and affirmations.
Looks like the ancients had this affirmation thing down to a science. Egyptians had spells for their journey to the underworld. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a popular read and you can make your own conjure book.
So when you are out there trick or treating and conjuring wishes, please keep them on the positive side because that is all that matters. You wouldn’t want bad magic coming back to you ten fold.
Happy Halloween.

Thoughtful Thursdays # 38 Sorrow
Don’t give sorrow to anyone. That means you first. Don’t do anything that will cause you to feel regretful. Don’t do anything that will make someone else feel bad. Detach.
Don’t take sorrow from anyone. Put a large protective boundary between you and the sorrowful situation. This means not to absorb any negativity. Detach.
Keep yourself and others safe by putting a bead in your mouth if you can’t keep it shut. And walk away if need be to stop any onslaught of negativity. Detach.
End drama, don’t respond to it and it will disappear. Detach.
With that said.
Carry on with calmness today and every day.
