The Marvel of Today

Though I do not know what they are, I know that today holds marvels for me.

Though everyone that I know does not know what they are, they know that today holds marvels for them.

Though everyone that I don’t know, all over the planet, does not know what they are, they know that today holds marvels for them.

———————-
When I wake up and feel the infinite space in the cosmos for me, I know that today is full of marvels for me.

I am grateful for the simple marvels, like hot tea, and the immense ones, like a sense of purpose and connection.

I am grateful for the marvel of being led to the right connections and being prevented from the ones that are not productive.

I am grateful for the marvel of the inspiration of beautiful materials and the ideas to make beautiful things with them.

I am grateful for the marvel of the right space to work in and the marvel of beautiful companionship in work, home and friends.

I am grateful for the marvel of completing little ideas and building on them to bigger ideas.

Each day is full of marvels for me and I am eager to see what today’s marvels are.

Unlimited Substance and Structure

I feel the unlimited substance and structure of my being.

Everyone I know feels the unlimited substance and structure of their being.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, feels the substance and structure of their unlimited being.

——————
With the feeling of unlimited substance and structure, we are free to imagine and create anything which will bless ourselves and others.

We draw our resources from the Unlimited Universe of ideas.

As we nurture these ideas, we begin to create them in our present reality.

We discover resources and other interested people.

We find the right location and materials.

As our concept grows, so does our production.

The right outlets show up at the appropriate times.

We are naturally connected in ways which uplift each other and increase the abundance of those around us.

We are encouraged by the support of like-minded people.

As our confidence expands, so does our joy in sharing.

We are truly blessed in having the ability to reach out through the idea of service to create a different reality for ourselves and others.

Evident Good

At some point lies fail and good practices based on sound principles move to the forefront.

This is today’s challenge, to engage ourselves in good practices more deeply.

Our evidence of good will and good living will continue to grow and will include more of us.

What we want is a way to live well, and to do it honestly, safely, with integrity and trust.

It is evident when we trust each other.

We interact without fear or tension.

We know each side is putting for the best effort with good quality materials and the best craftsmanship.

We know that our business will be done on time and in a way which supports both of us.

This is evident good.

Trust removes tension or disappointment over any aspect of the business deal or the relationship.

Our reputation for fairness and innovation, timeliness, beauty, and creativity expands with every job we do.

It creates more business and attracts sound partnerships continually.

Our clear guidelines and adjustments where needed are communicated rapidly so there is no misunderstanding.

Evident good shows up in sound, clear and compassionate guidelines and creates good business and personal relationships.

Deeper Conviction and Awareness

I am grateful for deeper conviction and awareness in my life.

Everyone I know is grateful for deeper conviction and awareness in their life.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is grateful for deeper conviction and awareness in their lives.

——————-
The current political processes have alerted millions of us to our need for acting on our deep convictions.

We are in the process of seeing deeply held beliefs and practices eroded.

Since these are critical to the way we express ourselves and the ways in which we desire to live, we are taking action.

Central to the action is the way we are working together.

A huge body of thought is being exposed and is being turned over.

The power of this body of thought is considerable.

Suddenly, we see ourselves as critical to the life of our country.

It is an abrupt awakening as we were carefully lulled to sleep for decades.

But now the awakening is happening in large swaths and a significant challenge has been raised.

Acting on our deeper conviction with the awareness that we can take control and reshape our lives is exhilarating as well as necessary.

There Are Others

When you don’t fit in, there is still a place for you.

It may be a simple career adjustment or a more extreme move to another culture.

As you decide to celebrate who you are, you will be led to the place you need to be.

Your recognition and celebration of your talents may create even more friction where you are.

Your increasing commitment to yourself and your goals will remove you from your previous circumstances.

The important thing is to recognize that your talents are valuable, somewhere.

Continue to express them, and you will attract a new situation of appreciation.

If you present circumstances are not supportive, you will find others which are.

Trust, enjoy, create, imagine, move.

An Old Mental Address

I found myself accepting negative messages at an old mental address.

I realized that I had to label them “no delivery” at this address.

Then, of course, I realized that I have moved on and my new mental address has a screening feature and only accepts messages which are positive and uplifting.

I realize that I am grateful for the contrast.

It shows me that I have made progress in creating a better mental atmosphere for myself.

I am able to surround myself with things I love doing.

I move from one to another all day and enjoy the different creative processes.

My old address is mostly boarded up, but occasionally, a negative message gets through.

I am so surprised and shocked usually but I go into action right away to make sure that it is rejected as soon as I catch it.

Life can be made up of pleasant experiences.

I can create more and more of them for myself.

I just have to make sure there is no forwarding address from the old one.

There is also a “no delivery” policy at my new mental address for any negativity whatsoever.

Instead of Derailing

I have to watch that I do not get derailed by emotional reaction.

I can maintain my purpose and precision and keep following through on it.

Otherwise, I fall into an old habit of self-sabotage by temporarily believing the emotional lies which were so familiar.

My new habits keep me on track by replacing habitual fear and dread with the calm I have practiced so many times.

When I get caught by a trigger, I am quicker to get back on track.

The new data I receive gets stored along with other bad memories, and I know to watch out for that version of distraction.

I can always find a new dimension of calm to replace my old feelings of panic.

It turns out that calm is infinite and goes down for layers and layers and layers.

All I have to do is begin my access and I am taken into a safe place.

My old memories disappear back into their deep vault and will stay there as long as I continue to build my new calm sense of living.
