Distress and Solutions

When hearing distressing news, I breathe deeply and remember that there is an unlimited source of good ideas to support me right away.

When hearing distressing news about someone I know, I breathe deeply and remember that there is an unlimited source of good ideas to support them right away.

Great disruption in our lives, and we are all experiencing this to some extent right now, is an indication of the opportunity to look at things from a completely different viewpoint.

It may be that it is time to shift our approach.

It may be an opportunity to consider what may be missing from how we think about things.

It may be time to reflect deeply on what is working and what is not working.

After a serious car accident over six years ago, I walked away with minor injuries (a cracked collarbone and a broken rib, and lacerations to my head.)   Because of the tradition of spiritual healing I had grown up in, I knew the physical healing would take place rapidly.

What I was concerned with was finding out what really needed to be addressed in my life.

As I was healing, I really listened.

Deeply.

In about six months, a very new direction was revealed to me.

I was very surprised, but I took the direction quite seriously.  It has opened a completely new approach to my life that I had no idea existed.

I have had to expand my mental and spiritual vocabulary.

It is coloring my life with unexpected opportunities and deepening it with greater compassion.

It is requiring that I gain skills in areas of which I was completely ignorant.

It is giving me a new and confident identity.

My opportunities for service are multiplying.

I had no idea this existed for me.

It has required everything, all my concentration, all my effort.

And it is certainly worth it.

Sharing Blessings

Whatever I need or want to do, I can do in a way that blesses me.

Whatever I need or want to do, I can do in a way that blesses all whom I know.

Whatever I need or want to do, I can do in a way that blesses all whom I don’t even know all over the planet.

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

There are universal spiritual laws that bless everyone.

Everyone is loved, cherished, adored by the power that made them.

The power of good is in everyone all the time.

The more our lives are in tune with these laws, the more far-reaching our actions are to bless everyone.

This is the only true power, the power which lifts up.

Those who are temporarily out of sync with their blessings and are overrun with greed or some other fault can feel the influence all around them of their true divine nature and act in accord with that.

Those who are temporarily out of sync with their blessings and appear to be stuck in poverty or some other negative condition can feel the influence all around them of their true divine nature and be led to act in accord with that.

Because these universal ideas of love, generosity, unselfishness, valuing others, and community are present in the world, the more we love them, the more we will act in their behalf and the more we will see of them.

I am overrun with blessings and love to share them.

Uplift

I am so grateful to have cultivated my thought in positive directions.

I am so grateful that everyone I know has cultivated their thought in positive directions.

I am so grateful that everyone I don’t even know all over the world has cultivated their thought in positive directions.
-----------------
This gives such a lift to the world.

Instead of temporarily giving ourselves a boost by thinking we are better than someone else in some way, we lift them up in our thoughts about them.

We cultivate the highest thinking we are capable of in every way about everyone whom we see.

That gives them a lift.

When we think about someone or something, we give it our highest possible conclusion.

It may be a surprise to them, but we lift and lift until that is all we do.

Then negative thoughts around us have less and less effect on us and on our world at large.

My Peace Today

I am so grateful for my peace today.

I am so grateful for the peace of everyone I know today.

I am so grateful for the peace of everyone I don’t even know all over the planet today.

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

With our peace, we can hear what to do.

We can take the steps to do it confidently and harmoniously.

With our peace, we connect with the people and resources we need to accomplish our purpose for today.

With our peace, we share quietness and calm in the midst of panic, fear, and all the other distractions harassing all of us.

We shut out the distractions.

We listen for peace.

We feel it.

We take our next step.

It is always here, within us.

Practice of Peace

I am aware of the deep peace within and all around me.

Everyone I know is aware of the deep peace within and all around them.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is aware of the deep peace within and all around them.

===============

In recent years, I have made a concerted effort to find and practice peace.

It has been a very difficult challenge not to get mad or upset or be disturbed by things.

However, it has been most important to learn not react or to be distracted by those other things.

It has been most important to discover my source of peace and to keep practicing it.

I have learned to apply myself and to see peace whenever I became conscious of the need.

It is more and more needful each day to be the peace I want to see.

And I am finding those of like mind who are attracted to peace.

This is my goal for all of us.

Inspiration to Overcome

I love being inspired to overcome my problems.

Everyone I know loves being inspired to overcome their problems.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet loves being inspired to overcome their problems.
-------------------

We are here to take care of each other.

We have the resources to take care of everyone in the way that is best for them, because we are listening for the ideas that take care of us and inspire us to take inspired action.

No one is left out.

The resources we need are within us.

It is the desire to see them and use them that makes them visible.

We are surrounded by those of like mind and we can all help each other succeed.

We are meant to bless and be a blessing.

We are meant to live in a community of well-wishers.

We are a cooperative and creative people and that is our mission and the way we love to live.

What I Choose

I feel the calm I choose to generate around myself and what I do.

Everyone I know feels the calm they choose to generate around what they do.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet, feels the calm they choose to generate around what they do.

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

I see and feel the attempted intrusions, but with great discipline, I am choosing to respond only to what keeps me on my path.

There are many distractions at work, either for their own ends, or because they do not know how to maintain control for themselves.

I choose to listen to my inner guidance, trust it completely, and be directed by my highest nature.

I am bringing into my life what I think about and value the most, calm, inspired direction and those who share that priority with me.

There is no futile inevitability.

Listen more deeply.

Take a different path.
