Comfort in Moving Ahead

While it is fun to play with new ideas, many times it is uncomfortable or frustrating to deal with new technology or old surroundings.

I am learning to listen for paths through both those elements the same way I have devoted myself to listening for innovative ideas for business and service.

Sometime, I try a path and it does not work out.

Being redirected is part of the process.

I keep listening and, at the appropriate time, the idea I have been listening for comes to me and I can take action.

I am often surprised that I find an easier route after trying so many other routes.

I know I am grateful for what I am learning as I try out the other routes.

Perhaps, that knowledge will be valuable at another time.

I am also grateful to learn to trust my intuition implicitly.

I now stand up for the ideas which come to me, and I try them out even if others disagree.

I love how they work out, too!

As I gain confidence and a sense of conviction about my life and what I am doing, others move out of my way.

I am comfortable as I move ahead.

My assurance and poise is like the feeling of a puzzle piece fitting into the last place to complete the puzzle.

I am happy to experience receiving the creative ideas, backed by the conviction of how to use them and develop them, and the assurance that I am proceeding in the right direction.

Gratitude Every Day

I am becoming so satisfied with my practice of gratitude.

I am taking steps to fulfill my promises to myself.

So many tiny steps are adding up to beautiful accomplishments.

Through decades and years and months, new ideas are coming to fruition.

They are encompassing everything I love to do.

I am learning to trust the strength and guidance provided through my spiritual study.

It is a constant which is reshaping how I think about things.

I love the work I am doing.

I am looking forward to doing more of it.

It comforts and expands my soul.

I can feel things moving into place that I have continued to dream about.

I am so grateful to see things move from ideas into production.

I am so happy to share the ideas which inspire me and make me happy.

I am so grateful to find my life purpose and direction.

My Deepest Peace

I was led to seek my deepest peace as thoughts of the day began, along with little irritations.

As I did, I focused on what I could do to participate in sharing peace.

The idea of a newsletter emerged along with steps for its preparation.

I also realized there were many small things I could do around my house and yard.

I can feel the effects of the many small steps, keeping all in harmony that is close to me.

I can prepare myself to meet as many of my present needs in my current circumstances.

I can prepare myself to share my inspiration and peace in ways that make sense in today’s world.

At any moment, I can turn within and seek my deepest peace.

I have learned to trust my intuition and guidance to meet the needs of today.

Local Vision and Success

If people around you are not succeeding, find out why.

What are the underlying causes and circumstances of their lives?

People will thrive from beginning to end with appropriate support.

Parental nurturing when they are young gives a feeling of safety and validation.

School success gives confidence and assurance.

A sense of self-worth pervades successful people.

Conditions at home create a sense of value or lack of value.

Appropriate skills and training for what is currently needed in society vector people towards an adequate living.

Continued training and opportunities within the community keep a balance of productivity, self-worth and help meet local needs.

Disbursement of services throughout all neighborhoods creates safety.

Assurance of food sources is a basic provision.

Green areas such as parks and community gardens create places to gather, associate and share ideas.

What needs shoring up in your community?

What can you do to influence public policy to strengthen all these elements?

Living With Certainty

You can live with certainly when you do not depend on outside factors.

Your well-being comes from your dependence on the security and guidance from within.

The sense of a calm, directing Presence is always there when we listen quietly.

This sense tells us when to do things.

The timing is always exact.

The Universe Who Loves Us knows where we need to be and guides us to be there from within.

Our resources are always at hand when we listen this way.

We make optimum connections when we attune ourselves to the pulse of the Universe.

We are unmoved by the destruction and disturbance from politics and economics.

We know we have a place which is guarded and protected as long as we listen within.

Our safety is assured through dependence on our inner Guidance.

We can live joyfully and freely regardless of the circumstances.

Do not doubt this is possible.

I have tried it both ways, and this way is better.

Unconditional Living

You can live an unconditional life once you stop making conditions for yourself.

It has been challenge for me to break my old patterns.

As I have learned to do so, my life has been improved.

Some of the subtlest patterns are the ones which have been there the longest.

We don’t even pay attention to them because they feel like a part of us.

I was provoked to challenge a long-term pattern when I realized I was continually become upset.

I looked at what the pattern was saying, and then realized I had internalized it from so very long ago.

I made a conscious choice describing the feeling I would prefer, and then began substituting it for the long-term pattern.

This made me so happy that it became easier and easier to make the substitution and soon I found I was happier more of the time.

I can make my own conditions instead of accepting the ones around me or the ones from the past.

This is a very freeing attitude and has become a more consistent practice for me.

If you don’t like the path that your patterns are taking you on, I suggest you take a look at what they are saying.

Then revise what you would like to hear instead.

Even if it seems impossible, begin the process of substituting the language for what you want.

Your mind will start paying attention to this new pattern and you will find you can take another step and then another.

Your whole life can be rewritten and redirected in this way when you learn to be persistent and consistent.

Welcome to your new delightful life.

What We Accept About Ourselves

I am grateful to discover what I accept about myself.

Everyone I know is grateful to discover what they accept about themselves.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is grateful to discover what they accept about themselves.

—————

Sometimes, what we accept about ourselves is not positive nor productive.

The habit of accepting it perpetuates itself as long as we do not challenge it.

We are protecting the very thing we want to replace.

The way to replace it is to observe what the negative language is saying.

Then we can choose what we prefer to accept about ourselves and begin replacing it every time we notice that we are saying the old language.

This is a simple, but powerful way of addressing a long-term negative habit.

It has remained hidden and has been taking away the good life we could be living.

As soon as we begin our consistent replacement process, our life can take a new direction.

The more persistent we are, the sooner the old language fades and we can keep taking our next tiny steps until we arrive at our first goal.

The new habit we have built can be refined for any situation we wish to change.

We can lift ourselves out of it, as we continue to practice telling ourselves about the life we desire.

Some old habits are quicker to replace than others.

If we have accepted something negative for a very long time, it may take longer to change our language about it consistently.

But even long-term habits yield with the good feeling the new language brings us.

Take a look and your life and the language you use to describe yourself in it, and implement the changes you want to see.
