I Wish You Well, You Are Beautiful

The light in me is so strong that it repels anything that is not light.

The light in everyone that I know is so strong that it repels anything that is not light.

The light in everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is so strong, that it repels anything that is not light.

----------------

Having worked through many of the deep disturbances in my own life, I have found an inner light.

Watching others be understandingly upset by disturbing challenges, I feel only that they are in a state which will propel them to take action to heal themselves.

There is a light, a Source, a Higher Power, which is within.

Everything which brings us to this discovery has a good effect, no matter how bad an experience it is.

That seems harsh, but it is what I have discovered for myself.

I am so grateful for the many inspired authors and speakers who have been able to convey one more pebble of peace to me.

I am collecting my own pebbles and tossing them into the pond of my life and I am seeing the concentric ripples expand outward into more and more peace around me.

In order to feel the effects expand around me, I must start from within, and so I am.

When I witness a disturbance, I know that the same process is taking place in the life of someone else.

I offer you courage, and persistence, and love.

You, too will find your own light.

Our Deep Identity

I know that regardless of what happens around me, I am still myself.

Everyone I know knows that regardless of what happens around them, they are still themselves.

Everyone I don’t even know on the planet knows that regardless of what happens around them, they are still themselves.

----------------

Changes happen all the time, sometimes gently, sometimes abruptly.

When that happens, it is a good time to remember that we each still have the identity that we were given for all time.

We still have our integrity, our honesty, our intelligence.

These give us our approach to life.

We have the deep definition of who we are.

This is what tells us how to respond and what action to take and when to take it.

Circumstances around us never dictate anything.

Our deep identity is what guides us.

Even if we take a wrong step, we can redirect ourselves.

A surprise event can throw us off balance.

We can regain it.

A negative remark can temporarily distract us.

But we return to that deep identity of who we are.

That can never be touched by any outside circumstance.

We bring ourselves back into alignment with who we really are by discarding any thought that took us away.

Creating My Best Life

I am creating the best life for me.

Everyone I know is creating the best life for themselves.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is creating the best life for themselves.

------------

I am grateful to learn how to create the best life for myself.

By listening within, I can hear the idea that makes me feel the most fulfilled.

When I cultivate that life in great detail, I am bringing the outline of it into my life.

Since the Universe is on my side and has unlimited resources, I notice unexpected little good things coming into my life.

As I continue following my one greatest dream priority, I see more and more things that make me feel I am moving toward my dream.

Then, I find myself taking action in a particular direction on my own behalf, and that, too, takes me closer to my dream.

Now, I realize how to do it.

The Universe embraces me as I embrace my dream.

Together, we see it come to pass.

I am creating a wonderful life for myself.

My Passion and My Purpose

If I listen deeply enough, I will find my passion and my purpose.

If everyone I know listens deeply enough, they will find their passion and their purpose.

If everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, listens deeply enough, they, too, will find their passion and their purpose.

---------------

I know that my best ideas come from deep within.

The idea that excites me the most and is the most interesting for me is the one I want to cultivate first.

As I listen, it comes to me what to do.

Sometimes, I find myself wandering through a bookstore or following certain news items on the internet.

Something will spark my interest.

If it comes back over and over again, I know that this is the idea I am to to follow.

There is something about it that is deeply satisfying.

It is how I want to spend my life.

It is the way that I feel best about myself in the world.

It is the thing that will allow me the most fulfilling life and will contribute in ways that I cannot possibly gauge.

This is the  kind of idea that comes from deep within, a truly complete way of living.

Attentive Calm

I appreciate the calm in my life.

Everyone I know appreciates the calm in their life.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet appreciates the calm in their life.

---------------

I am writing this after several very stormy news stories, some are resolutions, some are continuations of problems, and some are new problems.

But I have found a way to be calm, for myself.

When I hear or read something disturbing, I devote myself to spiritual contemplation and meditation and affirmation towards a solution.

Then, I let it go.

If it comes to thought again, I discover whether I need to give it that kind of thoughtful consideration again.

Then I go on to my next priority beyond supporting a solution in general.

This is the new way I am creating more and more calm for myself.

It allows me to get deeper into my business, product design, and production.

I am not distracted by problems of a large or small nature, because I know I have given them the best kind of attention.

I am weighing in on the side of solution, resolution.

My business proceeds in a strong, even way.

I feel more productive all around.

Living Freer

Learning forgiveness has enabled me to live a freer life.

Learning forgiveness has enabled everyone I know to live a freer life.

Learning forgiveness has enabled everyone I don’t even know all over the planet to live a freer life.

-----------------

Learning to distract myself when I felt myself falling down the tube of emotional distress brought on by bad memories has been a great aid to moving on.

Beyond distraction was the key provided in Collin Tipping’s book, RADICAL FORGIVENESS.

Even using the radical forgiveness worksheet, available for free, has given me more control over my life as I would like to live it.  http://www.radicalforgiveness.com/pdf/RFWorksheetMarch.pdf

Now that I do not collect more and more layers when something bad is triggered, I am not knocked down so hard or for so long.

I am able to redirect my thought to what I am here to do, and to do it.

The freedom to live my life happily in the direction of my choosing is incredible.

I am willing to look at things differently, even if I don’t understand them, and that has given me much more room to move.

The heavy burden of bad memories and emotions is greatly lessened through forgiveness.

Give yourself this gift and share your true talents and gifts through your freer life, too.

My Peaceful Move

I am moving peacefully into the next step.

Everyone I know is moving peacefully into the next step.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is moving peacefully into the next step.

----------------

I no longer carry many of the problems I had.

I have worked on them and found solutions to many of them.

I am seeing myself in a different light and in a different place.

I am surrounding myself with appreciation of my new place.

I naturally take the steps which support my new position.

When the call comes, I am ready.

Even what is last minute falls into place.

The support which I have been feeling from within manifests itself in the best ways.

It feels almost effortless.

A lot is accomplished in a very short time.

I am there.
