Take One Step

Too often we put aside our personal ambitions and goals to tend to more immediate concerns in life. What you have to remember, though, is that something is always going to be happening. It is up to you to honor your personal endeavors regardless of external situations. Once you take a small step, even if it's just sending out an email, the universe will respond to your energy and efforts and "get the ball rolling." You are more likely to feel motivated to take a second step the next day if you've already overcome the first hurdle. The small step you take today should reflect your natural desire to work toward what brings you joy. Don't do it out of obligation. Do it because you want to make your life better, because you want to pursue a personal interest, and because you are confident in your capabilities to fulfill your dreams.

Each step on my path is clearly illuminated. I recognize the next step I should take in life, and I move forward with ease and confidence. I love working toward my dreams. My biggest wish is fulfilled because I put in the effort and took daily steps. It feels so good to realize my goals. I am ambitious!

Be the Change

Gandhi is quoted as saying "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." What changes do you want for yourself, your family, and the world you live in? Would you like to experience more peace, love, abundance, health, and joy? Examine your daily thoughts, feelings, and actions. Do you feel internally peaceful? Are you sustaining loving relationships? What does true abundance mean to you? Are you holistically healthy? Are you happy? Change starts with yourself. You are the only one you have complete responsibility and control of. Be the bliss and spread your bliss out into the world.

I am an agent of change. I personally evolve everyday and better myself. I have control of my thoughts, feelings, actions, and reactions and align them with love.

Create a Happiness Ritual

Everyday you have the ability to create peace and happiness or black clouds and chaos. Choose happiness by preparing yourself with a happiness ritual in the morning, throughout the day, and before bedtime. Think about what helps you feel internal bliss. When everything in your life is in harmony, you are in a much better position to maintain joy and peace, internally and externally. Major aspects of your life should ultimately be addressed so that they reflect balance, truth, power, and love. In order to start that process, make a point each day and with every thought, feeling, and action to infuse them with love, honor, and authority. Create an affirmation list; heal your emotional self through love and forgiveness; and choose actions that are positive, beneficial, and healthy. Keep your spirits up by laughing. Release negative toxins and energies by clearing your energy field and chakras, calling upon the angels, and drinking plenty of water. Ensure you are keeping your holistic self well taken care of. Do the things that you personally enjoy and never lose your sense of self.

I honor myself and choose peace, health, love, and happiness. I create each day with the intention to be happy. My thought, feelings, and actions are aligned with health and happiness. I maintain my bliss.

Do Not Be Quick to Judge

This morning I was riding along in my car listening to my favorite country music station. The radio personalities were asking listeners to call in with their personal slogans or words of wisdom that keep them going and offer positive insight. As I was enjoying the conversations, I began to merge into the left lane to turn into a parking lot. A car had pulled out in front from the right side to make a left turn so I had to slow down. Immediately, a car behind me started honking its horn and I looked in my mirrors to see what was going on. Evidently he was trying to merge in the left lane beside me and was edging me on to hurry up and get over or get out of the way. I realized I was in between lanes but couldn't go anywhere due to the car in front of me pulling out. I had to stop to allow him to finish crossing. The guy in the car behind me decided to stop right next to me, roll down his window, and proceed to instruct me on how to merge over. I looked at him and said, "I understand what you're saying, but there was a car in front of me, and I couldn't pull over until it passed." The guy just sped off. So my morning went from listening to positive insights to almost getting into an accident because some man was too impatient and made a quick judgment on my driving skills. I was able to stop for a few seconds. I asked Archangel Michael to cut the negative cord attached to me from this guy, and then I prayed for him. I prayed that he would slow down, be patient, and not be so judgmental. May he learn from this lesson.

Your Relationship Partner

Do you ever wonder if you're making the right decision with respect to your significant other? Here are a few questions to consider: Does he help you feel good about yourself, or does he insult you? Does he help you improve as a person, or does he hold you back from bettering yourself? Does he say and do kind and loving things, or does he seem mean-spirited or apathetic? Do you work together as a team, or is the relationship one-sided? Can you communicate with him without feeling chastised, or does the conversation end before it even begins? Do you LOVE him, or are you just in the relationship out of convenience or because you feel unworthy of something better? If you are having thoughts about your commitment, examine these questions and decide if you are in an honorable partnership or if you deserve more.

I am worthy and deserving of an amazing partner and relationship. I respect myself enough to give and receive love in a beautiful relationship. I pray and trust that I will have the highest and best romantic relationship. All relationships serve a purpose, and if this one's purpose is completed, I release the relationship in love.

When You Can't Change Others

Let's face it...the only person you have control of is yourself. So what do you do when people close to you insist on repeating behaviors that you've asked them not to. If you love them and are in a fairly honorable relationship with them, the only thing you can do is work on your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. First of all, consider if you are overreacting to the situation. Is it that big of a deal? Are you making a mountain out of a mole hill? Examine your need to control a situation and its outcome. Are you allowing the other person to live his life in a way that suits him? You can always use spiritual help during this time in an effort to gain inner and outer peace. Call upon Spirit and the angels to heal the situation in the highest and best way after explaining how you feel about it. Ask them to help you gain peace and surrender the situation to God. Allow flexibility and understand that everything is in divine order for a purpose.

I let go and let God. I am eternally at peace in all situations. I actively listen and communicate with others. I let people know how I feel in an honest way and release the outcome as necessary. I pray for guidance.

Put Your Worries in a God Box

Do you frequently have worries or concerns about situations? Once you've done everything you possibly can (in healthy ways) about a situation, you should no longer bear the burden of ruminating over it. Let it go and let God/Goddess/Universe/Spirit/Higher Self take care of it. Write your concerns down on a piece of paper. Designate a box in a personal space that you can transform into a God Box. Make it sacred and imbue it with the intention of beautifying your thoughts, feelings, and actions to help heal your situation in the highest and best way. Place power items in the box that have meaning and can bring love, light, and good energy toward your concerns. Use your creative abilities to construct a sacred space for all your concerns and release any worries to Spirit. Place your written words into the box, setting them free for the Universe to take over and handle for the greatest good.

I let go and let God. My thoughts, feelings, and actions reflect peace, love, and harmony. Challenging situations are resolved with a win-win outcome. I am open to receiving divine guidance and take steps to heal my life.
