Today's thought: Do the right thing.
In any situation, whether it be business, family, or social, do the right thing. Don't get caught up in undignified behavior just because someone else is. That is neither a reason nor an excuse to follow their lead. Be the example of professional, civilized, loving behavior; live your best possible life; do the right thing.
Wishing you the courage and determination to behave in a civilized manner, regardless of what is going on around you.....and peace, joy and love, always.

Our thoughts matter.
Friday, January 30, 2015
Today's thought: Our thoughts matter.
What has been taught in the past by the Masters has been proven by scientific research. Our thoughts matter. Our thoughts make our world. The Buddha taught this over two thousand years ago; the Bible tells us that "it will be done unto us according to our beliefs;" and, more recently, the process is explained to us by Thomas Hanna.
"What the neurophysiological research of the past several decades tells us is that the kind of thoughts we think determines the quality and effectiveness of our lives. Because thinking is an action of the entire body that mobilizes the entire sensorimotor system, the nature of our thinking activity automatically determines the nature of our bodily activity. If we turn the same anxious thoughts over in our minds day after day, then it is certain that we are tensing and activating certain contractions in our bodies day after day. And it is just as certain that these afflicted parts of our bodies will, through this daily abuse, become fatigued and damaged.
'When we think the same thoughts of revenge over and over again, we are activating the muscles and glands of our bodies over and over again. When we repeat the same thought of disappointment over and over again, we are repeatedly stamping its motor power into the tissues of our body until they sag in forlornness. When we repeatedly think thoughts or memories of hurt, despair, anger, or fear, we are physically injuring ourselves; we are engaging in self-destruction."
Wishing you the deep realization that you can change your life when you change your thoughts, you can become a positive thinker, a seeker of solutions, a light in the darkness for all.
Peace. Joy. Love, always.

Best friends.
Thursday, January 29, 2015
Today's thought: Best friends.
So often, we think of 'best friends' as people we meet who are kind, supportive, loving, and with whom we have things in common; and those best friends become life's treasures. More important than those treasures, we need to find the treasure within ourselves and become best friends with ourselves. In every situation of our lives, we need to encourage ourselves to do the best we can, be kind to ourselves when others are not, and love ourselves to wholeness. We are all children of God, worthy of love and respect, and we also need to love and respect ourselves. God does!
Wishing you the blessing of many best friends, including yourselves.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Be kind.
Wednesday, January 28, 2015
Today's thought: Be kind.
From the writings of Fr. Henri Nouwen:
"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand."
Be kind. All of the world is in need of kindness, peace, joy, and love.

Only good.
Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Today's thought: Only good.
From the writings of Abraham:
"We would like you to reach the place where you're not willing to listen to people criticize one another.....where you take no satisfaction from somebody being wrong.....where it matters to you so much that you feel good, that you are only willing to think positive things about people.....you are only willing to look for positive aspects; you are only willing to look for solutions, and you are not willing to beat the drum of all the problems of the world."
When we all choose to feed the positive aspects in our lives, the negative will no longer exist.
Wishing you the blessing of realizing that you do have choice, you do have control, you do have the power to change your life.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

What can I learn from this?
Sunday, January 25, 2015
Today's thought: What can I learn from this?
There are several schools of thought of why bad things happen in our lives. Some believe they are challenges from God to test our faith and make us stronger as we bear them and live through them. Some believe they are a result of karma, past actions that we must now face and resolve. Some believe life is a learning-and-growing experience, and that we all have good and bad things happen in our lives. And others believe we draw to ourselves, through the Universal Law of Attraction, whatever we focus on.
Regardless of your beliefs, when bad things happen, ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?" There is something to be learned in each experience, and that 'something' may be different for each of us. Learn the lesson and let the experience go. Learn the lesson and move on. When you are able to do this, each day will be a joy.
Wishing you the blessing of joyful days.....and peace and love, always.

Do something wonderful.

Today's thought: Do something wonderful.
From the writings of Albert Schweitzer:
"Do something wonderful; people may imitate it."
How wonderful the world would be if all of us used our minds and energies towards positive goals. Let those who understand the far-reaching effects of positive words and actions continue to do good, and the world will become a better place for all.
Wishing you the realization of all the blessings poured down upon us all.....and peace, joy and love, always.
