Daily Awareness

Are you living your fullest possibility?

Tonight I have the opportunity to do a book reading and signing based on my book, The Law of Achievement at the Center for Spiritual Growth in Eugene, Oregon.

During my morning meditation I sat quietly allowing myself to be open to all that is, asking that just the right words and the right message for those who will be in attendance be delivered. It was during my quiet time I acknowledged that what possibility, purpose and potential means to me today is very different than what it has meant at other points in my life.

In the past it was primarily about the outward evidence; awards, recognitions, accolades. Over the years I have had much evidence on the outward level such as award winning speaker, author and entrepreneur that I am a high achiever. Not that it has always been that way, but for the last two decades it has. Although an honor to be acknowledged for good works, what I now know is the outward evidence does not mean we feel this inside.

FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness is a step that moves me closer to my primary purpose in life, which is to be a loving person. It is difficult to be my most loving self when I hold on to negative feelings about another person or a past or present situation. I allow myself to release any feelings I may have which do not serve my highest good or the highest good of others. I ask for the willingness to be most loving way I can be. I ask that I be shown how to truly forgive another against whom I may be holding angry feelings.

Message of Hope

It is in forgiving that I can truly live life to the fullest.

Remember

Today I take time to remember special people who have touched my life. I remember friends who have passed on. I remember all the special moments I have shared with those who have made a difference in my life. Today I realize how blessed I have been to have so many wonderful people touch my life.

Abundance is a state of mind rather than a state of condition

We can only manifest that which we believe we can and are willing to. The Universe is abundant and all is there for us when we are ready to embrace it.

Our greatest limitation is not outward circumstances. Rather, it is our state of mind.

It has been said, "Abundance is not a state of condition. It is a state of mind."

What is your current state of mind? Does it support or repel abundance?

Keeping in mind abundance goes far beyond the monetary aspect. It is more, so much more.

Our health, relationships, level of gratitude, happiness, contribution to others to name just a few.

If your level of abundance is not where you think it should be, notice what you think. When you are in the space of gratitude more can flow to you. Make a commitment today to notice what you do have rather than what you don't and watch the abundance grow.

May your days be filled with unlimited blessings.

Force only puts us further behind

Talk to just about anyone and you will likely hear how busy and overloaded they are. The overload can be for any number of reasons.

• Family
• Work
• Business
• Health issues
• The economy
• Email
• Internet issues
• And on and on

Often, when times are most overwhelming, human nature is to push harder. Amazingly, pushing and trying to force something to happen can be the most unproductive thing to do.

A simple solution is to stop, breath, meditate and pray. Don’t have time? Maybe you don’t have time not to.

The fact is, if what you are doing is working then keep doing it. But if you are finding yourself becoming more and more unproductive with each passing day, why not try something different.

As has been said, “If you want the results you have been getting, keep doing what you have been doing.”

On the other hand, if you feel maybe there is a better way than what you have created by your own devices, perhaps now more than ever you have reached a point of being willing to be willing to try something different.

It’s amazing how powerful this can be.

May you be aware of the blessings your day is filled with.

If you are a dog lover, read this.....

POEM:  ADOPTING OLDER DOGS
ONE BY ONE ...

One by One, they pass by my cage. Too old, too worn, too broken, no way.
Way past his time, he can't run and play.

Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way. A little old man, arthritic and sore. It seems I am not wanted anymore.

I once had a home, I once had a bed, a place that was warm, and where I was fed.
Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail.

Who wants a dog so old and so frail?

My family decided I didn't belong, I got in their way, my attitude was wrong.

Whatever excuse they made in their head can't justify how they left me for dead.

"Direction not perfection" she said

I just finished an incredible interview with Law of Attraction teacher, Eva Gregory. What an awe inspiring conversation we had.

Eva cleared up many of the misconceptions people have around Law of Attraction. She shared insights into how anyone can apply Law of Attraction no matter where they start out at.

Something I appreciated in our conversation was when she said that even teachers of Law of Attraction get stuck yet, they have tools to get unstuck pretty fast.

A great recommendation Eva made was direction not perfection when it comes to taking action on our dreams. We can't wait for everything to be perfect. Otherwise, nothing at all will get done.

Our conversation was based on her newest book, Life Lessons for Mastering the Law of Attraction which she co-authored with her partner Jeanna Gabellini, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. There are some amazing contributing authors in this must have book.

You will be grateful you did.

Lack of forgiveness is poison to our soul

He did me wrong! She hurt my feelings! I can never forgive my ex-neighbor for being such a poor neighbor!

How often do we have these types of thoughts floating around in our head or equally as poisonous, we will say these things to anyone who will listen?

When we hold on to those things we didn't like or we felt wronged by, we are carrying resentment and lack of forgiveness. Resentments and lack of forgiveness will do us more harm than the person we are angry with. They are like the sting of a scorion.
