A new day of gratitude

As I sit wishing to express much about my journey. I find myself at a loss for words, probably because I am at an abundance of stories and lessons in which to choose from. Should I speak of the heart and soul or the lessons of virtue and compassion. So I shall choose neither, in effort not to loose the point of all this ... YOU!


I have found that dropping to your knees in the morning and being thankful for what ever circumstances you wake up in; is as important as breathing and eating. Your gratitude can not just merely be a passing notion. It must be the only thing on your mind each waking moment. If your alive, thank your creator that you have ability to better your life. If your not alive, how are you reading this :-P~~~

These requests and goals that we set, do not come free of charge as some will have you believe. These dreams have reality based actions and thoughts, that will be required in order to achieve them. If your dreaming to be a poet, you must be writing, perfecting your craft each and everyday. There will have to be a longevity to your mind set to achieve your goals. A never take no for an answer attitude that comes with doing what the heart truly desires.

Many times the hearts true desire gets lost in the fear of poverty or death. Making the only motivation care for the body and not true passion. It is important that when desires come up, we ask ourselves does this desire come from a place of fear or love. This is where dreams truly manifest, in intention and the hearts true will.

The Ultimate Pep Talk, Be grateful you’re alive

Let’s just take a moment and evaluate our lives. Look at the world as an opportunity to live and not a waiting room for what is to come. When we start to look at the purpose of each day and each moment we start to become grateful for the things we are given in the opportunity of living. If you stub your toe be grateful there is a toe to stub, if you are going to work be grateful you have somewhere to go.      

Life is a gift and living is an opportunity. This rollercoaster is what you make of it so make the most of every moment. Anton Chekhov said that “Man is what he believes” and those five words sum up the human experience better than a 1000 page book could. We can only do great things if we have the belief we can, so live in the now and enjoy the ride; you can achieve great things if you believe you can.  

Do not look to the sky or to your neighbors, look in the mirror and mark your progress in the person who was standing there the day before. Achieve great things the second you arise by arising with an empowered feeling of infinite possibilities and the promise of a new day. You are the coach, player and spectator, play well, be well and most of all, be grateful you’re alive.

Not another Positive thinking cliché

Positive thinking has a billion clichés about glasses being half full, rainbows and all sorts of cute things. While wonderfully helpful as a child, when we become adults we must convince the rational mind to adopt this philosophy in a more direct and logical way. Take the Law of Attraction out of this argument as this spiritual aspect does not speak directly to the mind and is more of a symptom of a healthy mind than the cause of it. 

If we only take control of what we are in control of we would eliminate pretty much everything but thoughts. As this is where your true power and control of your physical life is formed. When the mind is under stressed thoughts it goes into fight or flight mode, releases high doses of the cortisol (a fat storing and physiologically damaging chemical released by the body) and will cause physical and mental havoc on your mind and body. This is why stress seems to age a person very rapidly and cause a very pessimistic and jaded attitude towards life.

The good news is; this is a choice and you can choose to start looking at the glass half full and start seeing the rainbow in the sky if you choose to see it.  It may take some time as you probably have lived your entire life not keeping track of better feeling thoughts but when you start to do so, it will get easier as time goes on until it eventually becomes second nature. Then your mind and body will become much healthier. And if you use the Law of Attraction to your benefit, this is when your manifestations will come into your physical existence.
