I Cherish The Experience Of Life

Rather than chasing after what you don't have, use your energy to more fully express what you do have. Instead of striving to be someone you are not, instead of conforming yourself to the world's idea of success - create and live your own definition of success. Be who you are. That's where your most valuable treasure is. Set free that beautiful, worthy person inside of you. Free yourself from worrying about what others might think, or say, or do. Instead, focus on being the best, most authentic manifestation of you that you can possibly be. You are complete and whole right now. There is no need to prove anything to anyone. There is no need to wait for happiness or fulfillment. They are yours when you decide to live them. This is your moment in which to live with all the richness you can imagine. Enjoy being you, right now. There is so much you have to contribute, just by living the one-of-a-kind life that is your destiny. It's more than OK to be you. It's the very best and most genuinely fulfilling thing you can do. Enjoy giving your own special gifts to life, and lift yourself up along with the world around you. (Author Unknown)

I Cherish My Challenges & Challengers

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. (Rabindranath Tagore)

I Cherish The Moments ~ I See WOWs In More NOWs

In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet. (Albert Schweitzer)

I Cherish Who I Am

…every lifetime sets up conditions that include different features, for very good reasons. Your face and body did not just come into being by shaking the dice; your parentage and the genes and DNA they passed to you were chosen so you might have the face and body that would fit the spiritual purpose of this lifetime. An extremely beautiful countenance can be a severe handicap to many people, as they must overcome the worshipful reactions of others in order to develop their minds and emotions for a higher intention. Going to the other extreme, one who is born with severe handicaps or misshapen body has an even more difficult time relating to other people and finding ways to make the lifetime one with purpose and fulfillment. The challenges you meet every day are put there for you to acknowledge and work with, and your physical being is one of those challenges, no matter what you look like! Have you ever known a teenager to be happy with his/her looks? It is a matter of accepting what you look like and being happy with it that is part of growing up, no matter what your age.

See yourself now as having the appearance of the person you are, a very individual and unique image that belongs to no other unless, of course, you are a twin. The Creator selected this particular image for you to reflect your soul being and the personality you have created for your human lifetime and are still creating. That image does change when the personality undergoes a drastic change for any reason. Accept your face and body as they are, and love them for being you. If you need to lose or gain weight for the health of the body, that will add to your own satisfaction of who you are. Stop frowning at the mirror; look more deeply and love who you see in it!

How can you love this person who gets all upset with negative circumstances, who reacts defensively against those who have put you down, who can't seem to get over or forget the traumatic events in a lifetime, who keeps the guilt and unforgiving attitudes that just seem to hang in there? By accepting the fact that you have taken on a human personality that is not perfect, and also accepting that all of these things can be changed if you really want them to be. It is not a matter of not being able to love yourself until you have perfected all of the attitudes and emotions that are off-kilter; it is a matter of loving yourself as you are †" now †" regardless of your imperfections.

You know that Love, in all its perfection and glory, is the most powerful force in the universe. If you permit yourself to love yourself, without any hesitation or conditions, that power will fill your being and enable you to start correcting those imperfections. Bingo! When you are filled with Love, and you cannot be filled with Love without loving yourself, there is a very different way of seeing things †" a vision of life from a spiritual viewpoint that cannot be reached in any other way. Then you can see the futility of hanging on to guilt, for whatever the situation, it was a learning experience. Resentments fade away as you begin to see and understand the other side of the coin. The spiritual part of you starts to have compassion for those who may have injured you in any way, understanding their deep pain and mistakes. It becomes easier to forgive as the Love within reaches out to touch their soul beings, wherever they are.

As you reconcile all of the old attitudes and sorrows that have kept your heart feeling heavy and cold, a new feeling of lightness and warmth flows through your body and mind. Your reflection in the mirror now takes on a new light in the eyes and the constant frown begins to transpose into a faint smile that is always there. Whatever you look like, you now become most beautiful, for the beauty is developing within as your love for yourself and all of God's creations makes itself obvious to all humanity. It is the Love in the eyes and the Love that pours out through your personal aura that makes all of you beautiful to yourselves and all you meet. (The Masters through Ruth Ryden) - www./group/ruth_ryden_newsletter

What I Say, Be, & See - I Become

Not every one of our desires can be immediately gratified. We've got to learn to wait patiently for our dreams to come true, especially on the path we've chosen. But while we wait, we need to prepare symbolically a place for our hopes and dreams. ( Ban Breathnach, from the book, Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy)

I Neutralize Negativity ~ I Prefer Positivity

The next time you feel self-doubt, fear or pain, decide right then to thank those feelings for catching your attention. Stop what you are doing put your hand over your heart and really feel the pain of the situation for a moment. Then ask yourself, Is this true about me? Your inner child (your ego) may respond, Yeah, it's true, I'm flawed, or, I don't belong. Then call forth your soul, your own capacity for unconditional love. Send some love to that hurting part of you and say, I hear you and I love you, but I am bigger than that point of view. I AM a Divine Being, filled with Love and creativity. I AM the child of the Most High. I claim my Truth now. Inhale Love, exhale Love, breathe deeply and keep doing this until you relax into the truth of your Being.

You are Love. You are the canvas upon which the drama of pain and fear is being played out. You are not the pain or fear; you are indeed bigger than that. Practice moving your consciousness into the fullness of who you truly are. Once you have relaxed into the truth of Love, you can then change your orientation. Begin by choosing Joy. State it out loud. I choose Joy now. Let a smile come to your lips. If you do not feel the shift, ask yourself, What point of view is required to create joy right now? Then you might ask, What is keeping me from changing my point of view right now? Try it. You can change your point of view. Joy is a choice. It just requires a little practice. From the energy of Joy, you will uncover fresh solutions to all your challenges. (Sri Ram Kaa & Kira Raa, from the book, Sacred Union: The Journey Home) - www.selfascension.com

Kindness Is My Favourite Way To Display My Gratitude

....you are bringing ever closer peace on Earth and good will toward men, with every act of kindness, sharing, and trust in the omnipotence of love-light. ( through Suzie Ward) - www.matthewbooks.com

Additional Notes

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

(*) If any of the above links don't work, it's because " blank spaces " have been inserted into the link, and when you paste the link into your web browser, such as Internet Explorer, the link doesn't work because of the " blank space " within the address. A webpage address (link, url) shouldn't have any spaces between letters. If when you paste the link into your web browser it doesn't connect, just cursor along the link and when you come to a blank space in the address, delete it. I think these spaces are added so that the group newsletters don't get incorrectly identified as spam, and deleted by exuberant and well meaning anti-spam software.
