“You can never outperform your own self-image.”

~ Mary Morrissey

Do you realize that the circumstances of your life are a reflection of your self-image? What are the predominant thoughts that you think about yourself day in and day out? Have you ever asked yourself that?

I ask because most of the time we have no conscious awareness of the thoughts that are constantly flowing in the background of our minds. Most of them are about ourselves or someone or something that we don’t like. Most of the time our inner critic is running the show finding anything and everything that’s wrong or bad. And those thoughts are the ones determining our energetic state and self-image.

Now, my friend, don’t go asking yourself why you’re doing that or your mind will take you even deeper down the rabbit hole! Instead put your mind to work finding the good things.

Our minds are constantly at work so we can give them a task that will reap positive rewards. Hmmm… Let’s see how many good things I can list about myself and those around me.

And, you know what, my friend? As you set it to work looking for things you want to develop more of in yourself you might just find yourself actually doing them!

“Look forward and wake up the future.”

~ James Wanless

Do you consciously plan your future? Have you been dreaming up a future you love? Or are you so stuck in the day to day drudgery of life that you can’t see beyond it?

You deserve more than that, my friend. You deserve to love your life.

Did you know that the Universe will deliver your dreams just as readily as it’ll deliver your fears? It will. In fact, it’s been delivering exactly what you’ve been focusing on. Have you noticed?

Hmmm…

Start aspiring, my friend, and just keep focusing on and working towards all the wonderful things you’ll be experiencing in the not too distant future!

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

A lot of times we don’t see the good in things until we’re able to look at them in hindsight. This is when the blessings are revealed.

We just have to remember, my friend, everything serves a purpose in our evolution so, ultimately, everything is good. Trust this truth.

And, even more importantly, know that gratitude brings out the best in everything.

“Patience is the antidote to anger, a way to learn to love and care for whatever we meet on the path. By patience, we do not mean endurance — as in “grin and bear it.” In any situation instead of reacting suddenly, we could chew it, smell it, look at it, and open ourselves to seeing what’s there. The opposite of patience is aggression — the desire to jump and move, to push against our lives, to try to fill up space. The journey of patience involves relaxing, opening to what’s happening, experiencing a sense of wonder.”

~ Pema Chodron

What is is what is, my friend. And did you know that the best way to change what is is to embrace it?

Remember, like everything else, what is is only temporary. Surrender the struggle and you allow the future to unfold with grace.

“True compassion comes only from realizing that your soul is no better than that of anyone else.”

~ Raven Kaldera

It’s so simple and so clear. Once we get past the ego, that is.

Bypass the ego and offer Spirit to Spirit communication, my friend, so that love, compassion and understanding can flow naturally.

“Flexibility is consciously letting go.”

~ Emmy Cleaves

Everything starts in the mind, my friend. Tension, tightness, struggle all come about when we resist and let the monkey mind run wild.

Things are never as bad as we imagine. Try taking a deep breath and, letting it out slowly, decide to be open to other possibilities.

The better we get at releasing mental tension the more comfortable and flexible we’ll be in the body.

A flexible mind creates a flexible body.

“In life it’s like we’re blindfolded (at least our physical senses are), because we’re completely unable to see, hear, or touch life’s magic. Yet to live your life – to live the life of your dreams – the secret is knowing that there is so much more happening on our behalf than the five senses can detect, and the way to know this is through faith. This is our greatest test: to know that even in the absence of physical proof we are spiritual beings; to know that although our thoughts are invisible, they will become the things and events of our lives; and to know that we are loved and provided for.”

~ Mike Dooley, Infinite Possibilities

It’s oh so comforting to finally surrender to this truth and know that life — growth — happens whether we consciously see the changes or not.

Roses grow back even more robust after pruned virtually to the ground. Caterpillars turn into butterflies. And you, my friend, should be envisioning and getting ready for the best days of your life — they’re right around the corner.

Know it.

“Trust is not a matter of technique, but of character. We are trusted because of our way of being, not because of our polished exteriors or our expertly crafted communications.”

~ Marsha Sinetar

You know how we question how much we should trust others, or who we should trust? Well, my friend, have you ever questioned how trustworthy you are?

Has it ever occurred to you that the amount you trust others could be a reflection of how much you trust yourself? Think about it. If you wouldn’t trust yourself, why in the world would you trust someone else?

Any lack of trust in yourself will cloud your judgment so, if you find that you repeatedly put your trust in the wrong people, maybe it’s time to develop more trust in yourself.

Sometimes, my friend, we have to reverse the situation to uncover the underlying truth.
