“Reason is powerless in the expression of Love.”

~ Rumi

Our minds are so clever. They can come up with millions of ways to justify being angry, resentful, sad, depressed, disappointed, upset, etc. You name it, my friend, if it’s a negative emotion, reason has played some part in it being present. You can be assured.

But you can always turn a negative emotion around. All you have to do is think of Love. Think of God. Think of anything that makes you smile.

The longer you think of Love, the more of the negative will drop away. Try it!

“It is loyalty to the unseen reality that gives meaning to the word faith.”

~ Neville Goddard

Do you realize that you get to choose in every moment whether to allow fear or faith to dictate your experience? Focusing on your fears feels bad while focusing on what you want feels good.

Notice how as you focus your attention on something it creates an energetic feeling in your body. That energetic feeling is a clear indication of how you would feel should the scenario your mind is mapping out actually occur. Even though it’s 100% in your imagination at the moment you think and then feel it, you can know very clearly whether you’d like it as your reality or not.

Think about that, my friend. It’s an incredible gift to have that knowing.

Remember, the future hasn’t happened yet. So that means your thoughts and energetic state are still exerting their influence on it. The unseen reality he speaks of above is whatever you’re mapping out in your imagination. So decide for something you’d love and be faithful to its delivery.

Simply ignore the facts and circumstances that tell you otherwise and hold true to your desired outcome. I know, it’s easier said than done but when you master this, my friend, you master life!

“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.

“Our emotions and feelings have an effect on the world moment by moment. If you send out words and images of creativity, then you will be contributing to the creation of a beautiful world. However, emitting messages of destruction, you contribute to the destruction of the universe.

“If you become aware of this, you will no longer be able to speak words of anger to those around you, or blame others for your own mistakes and weaknesses. You have the capacity to change the world within a moment. All you have to do is make a simple choice. Are you going to choose a world of love and gratitude, or a tortured world filled with discontent and impoverishment? The answer will depend on your attitude at this very moment.”

~ Masaru Emoto, The Hidden Messages in Water

Do you like how you feel? Do you want more of the same or is it time for a change? Well, my friend, it all starts with your attitude.

Have you noticed how there’s always room for improvement? Go ahead, imagine how good life could be. What would you love?

Right there you have the start of the creative process. Now keep it going!

And thank you for making the world a better place.

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

~ Maya Angelou

Drop the comparisons to everyone and everything else, my friend. What matters most is how you feel about yourself; not how you feel about your outside appearance, but how you feel about yourself on the inside.

Let’s acknowledge that sometimes success seems out of reach. But just remember, no one is perfect. It doesn’t do you any good to hold harsh judgments of yourself, or of anyone else for that matter. Just correct what you can and forgive the rest.

It’s time to start liking yourself.

“Kindness is the light that dissolves all walls between souls, families, and nations.”

~ Paramahansa Yogananda

We’re taught as children to treat others the way we like to be treated. It’s the Golden Rule. We all learn it. Very simply, my friend, it boils down to kindness.

In every interaction with everyone everywhere, use kindness.

“Everything has boundaries. The same holds true with thought. You shouldn’t fear boundaries, but you should not be afraid of destroying them. That’s what is most important if you want to be free: respect for and exasperation with boundaries.”

~ Haruki Murakami

We experience boundaries in every aspect of our lives. From universal laws like gravity to self-imposed beliefs that say we shouldn’t do something, they are everywhere. And they, of course, limit us.

But they don’t always have to, my friend. Examine your beliefs. Look at all the boundaries that limit you. Are they serving you? Are you sure they’re absolute? What if they weren’t there? Would you be willing to allow yourself a different life experience?

I just thought I’d ask because, you know, what if?

Hmmm…

“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.”

~ Greg Anderson

Have you ever noticed how the anticipation and excitement about what’s to come is almost more enjoyable than the event itself? Or maybe the event itself turns out to be a disappointment. It happens, my friend. But at least if you’re enjoying the process, you’ll have that to be thankful for. Right?

And remember, every destination is just a new beginning anyway. So focus on the present moment and enjoy yourself every step along the way.
