You have much more in you than you give credit. Human beings are capable of extraordinary feats. I believe this is because we are actually spiritual beings. In this experience we can limit ourselves or we can rise. Believe that the potential for your individual greatness is always within you. Believe that you can handle and endure more than you could even imagine. Believe in you today.
In your life, have you ever wished to have an extraordinary ability. Maybe even a superpower? Well you do! You have, at all times, the power to inspire. You can inspire people by just being yourself. By accomplishing your goals. By writing your own story. By being courageous. You will bolster the strength in others by boosting your own. Go out and inspire today.
Sometimes on our journey, we may have to go it alone. It doesn’t mean that this will be forever. But it may mean us giving up our comfort and security for the good of the kingdom. For the ascension of the realm, we must ascend. For the success of our family and friends, we must succeed. This can be scary for some and challenging for others but it is far from impossible. Especially for a person with purpose.
Are you loving you today? How much do you love yourself? Do you treat yourself? Do you give yourself good food? Do you take care of yourself? Do you spend time with yourself? I encourage you to be kind to yourself and know that as you begin you will shine from within. Love yourself today my friend.
Take a look at your life. What seeds are you planting? Realize that if you want a mango tree, you won’t get it with apple seeds. Choose which energy you want to live in and go live in it now. What kind of lifestyle do you want? If you see yourself in the future as a giving person you must start giving now. Give when you have little and you will give when you have much. Things we plant can sprout in places we least expect them. Just keep planting my friend.
Each of our journeys are different. Even though we are heading down different paths I believe that we can view in similar ways. We can see the light or see the darkness. We can give up or keep going. We can think we can do it or believe we cannot. You deserve an abundant life. You deserve a life of prosperity. If you are going through struggle, don’t let your mind know it. The mind doesn’t know times are hard unless you tell it. Keep a positive view and a cheerful perspective. Continue to persevere and you will win!
I got a message from a stranger that reminded me to be a little kinder to myself. I missed throwing a piece of trash into a trashcan and he said “Happens to all of us.” This brought a smile to my face and I had to give you this message. You should know that you are not alone in this world. Many times we believe that things only happen to us. That simply isn’t true. Even though our experiences are different the truth remains that things happen to all of us.
Everything in life is a choice. We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us. What choices will you make in your lifetime. What choices will you pass on to others. It is not what happens to us in life but how we react that matters. I learned from Dr. Wayne Dyer that how people treat us is their path, how we respond is ours. When you realize you cannot think of a positive and a negative thought at the same time you will understand you always have a choice.
One time, while on a train, I overheard a family of three playing a board game. The game was called “Family Feud” and involved answering questions. The grandmother asked the grandson “What is something people open every day?” The child answered, “Their phone?” I couldn’t help but chuckle at this. As time goes on, technology is becoming more and more prevalent in the lives of people. I encourage you to think about what it means to be open. And don’t let your phone be the only thing you OPEN today.
Often we put common phrases off as cliche. We do this because we hear them over and over. We hear them repeatedly because they are universal truths. Instead of casting things aside as cliche, why not learn from them? Next time you hear someone say “that’s so cliche” examine the phrase a little differently and see what else you can draw from it.
