Catch the spirit

A thought for the day

                                I AM A PART

Knowing people, admiring and loving them, learning what makes them what they are have been a large part of my education and of my motivation as well.  Tennyson in his poem “Ulysses” said, “I am a part of all that I have met.”  For my part I like to add that all I have met are a part of me, too. The mountains and the sea, the sky and the changing seasons, dawn and sunset are all thrilling and contribute to our lives; but it is people who mold us, beginning with our families and including our friends and acquaintances. They can inspire, turn us on or off, depress or excite us.  And I have found
that if one looks for the best in every person, the best will reveal itself. Every human being has a story rich in drama, humor, pathos, greatness, and perhaps tragedy.
                                                ----Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

My own take on the thought above is that you often find what you’re looking for. That life is a mirror. WE must become things we like to experience. If we choose nurturing, loving, compassionate, understanding and supporting relationships around us, we must become these things. What we become in our beliefs, we experience in our worlds.

A toast to you

Life is to be felt. Everything that happens in life has a purpose; even the tiniest ‘stuff’ has a reason for being there that way, at that specific moment and in that exact place. The most detrimental you can be to yourself is looking for reason outside of yourself or blaming yourself in the process. Stop expecting things and stop expecting people to be a certain way. We tend to run away from our emotional needs. Illuminate your heart and mind. Remove all expectations.

What are you committed to?

Celebrate the creative endeavor. Every moment of every day has the potential of creating inside of you a little flutter of excitement as an invitation to Life.

You get to celebrate more accomplishments. Nothing is holding you back to explore. Allow it to be possible. It is a matter of choice. You are supposed to get worn down by life and rebuilt by passion. 

We only know two emotions.  One of them is overwhelming joy and the other one is overwhelming boredom. So be Joyful!  Discover new beginnings, new thoughts, and new situations. Be willing to grow and learn. Each day is an opportunity so that you may have new experiences.

Unconditional Love

What do you do to value You? What do you do to regard you?

Everyone wants to be recognized, valued and regarded for what it is. That sentiment in which you are loved for who you are, without restrictions or reservations, together with all your qualities and flaws. Uncondional Love.

And in this way being okay with whom you are. There will never be another you.

There is a natural tendency for us to try to find love outside of ourselves. It just happens that there are others also looking to meet their own needs. We cross one another’s paths through neediness. We need understanding, we need love and we need affection.

And what is wrong here?  You can be happy without outside things. See them as happy things, helps you out of needy.

Allow you to be You. That is significant. Allow a little more tolerance with self. Give yourself the GRACE that it is okay. Everything is of a good benefit. Everything you experience adds to YOU. Nurture the Spirit of YOU.  You be the Source of Love.

A thought for the day:  Are you being a victim of your life or are you being a Creator of your life. Don’t depend on outside stuff, govern yourself. Stop being a victim of life and be a Participant.
