Your Daily Dose of Gratitude ~ Day 661

[Guest guest]

I Cherish The Experience Of Life

I will set you a piece of homework. Every evening before you lay the head upon the pillow, take your piece of notebook paper, a small notebook, it does not need to be big, and write down three beautiful things that you have seen or experienced in that day; three things: 1, 2, 3. Easy to do.

You can list the most wonderful rain, the raindrops, the nourishing of the rain onto the dry soil; the sunshine, the angel of sun that warms you; the smile of a friend; the sound of the grass growing; the most beautiful flowers in the garden; the color of the tree leaves; the change of seasons; whatever. Three things. You will see more and more enjoyment in your journey. (Jeshua through Judith Coates) - www.oakbridge.org

I Cherish My Challenges & Challengers

Each of us choose our own life experience. And each of us make these choices based upon what we need in order to learn or achieve so that we might take our personal steps in Soul evolution. ( Zimmerman)

I Cherish The Moments ~ I See WOWs In More NOWs

Become better listeners. Practice the art of listening in everything you do. Not just listening to yourself and your body, but listening to the people around you, listening to the plant world, the animal world. Really open your ears to what's coming at you. From there, see if you can have the ability to respond instead of react. And that usually comes with listening. If the observation and the listening are deep, then your action will be deep also. (Rodney Yee, Yoga Teacher)

I Embrace Who I Am

There are endless reasons why folks may not like us, no matter what we do. In the end, we must have the will to simply be ourselves. When you please others in the hope of being accepted, you lose your self-worth in the process. As elementary as this sounds to help yourself, you have to be yourself. Be the best person you can possibly be. Stand up for yourself. Without being rude and arrogant, speak your piece. Every day do your best and if there are those who disagree with you, it's not the end of the world. By being more self-assured, you're not only taking a stand but you will eventually learn more quickly to adapt to a negative environment. Make and maintain the commitment of being your own person. (Dave Pelzer)

What I Say, Be, & See - I Become

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the "atomic age" - as in being able to remake ourselves. (Mahatma Gandhi)

I Neutralize Negativity ~ I Prefer Positivity

You know what joy feels like. You are not a stranger to it. Well, how do you create more of anything you like? You think about it, don't you? Before you make cookies, you think about them. The more kinds of cookies you want, the more kinds of cookies you think of. What cookies would you most like? You look up recipes. You look at pictures. You think about all the cookies your heart would like to have, and then you pull out the ingredients and you start making cookies. If you desire more joy, then bring it to the fore in your thoughts. Stroll through the joys you would like as you do recipes. Stir joys in your mind. Your joys will come true. This is how it works with joy…

You may want a shining new car, a delightful job, a large amount of cash, a new house, but what is the commonality of all you desire? What you are really desiring is joy. You do not have to have the shining new car, delightful job, large amount of cash, new house in order to have your desire for joy to be fulfilled. You can make inroads of joy. Where does joy exist? It does not exist in the car, the cash, etc. It exists in you. So simply stir the joy in you and see what develops.

When you ask the Universe for a new car, for example, you do not want to limit the gifts from the Universe. And you do not want to be impatient with the Universe. If you receive something else meanwhile, you want to be grateful, don't you? There is such a difference between your saying, "Oh, darn, I didn't get my new car. I got something else instead," and your saying: "Isn't this wonderful? I got something else. I'm glad. It's a sign of all the good that is to come." When you find a penny on the street, be glad. Whatever comes your way, be glad and grateful. Do you see how you can practice joy? The joy you feel can only bring more joy. Beloveds, you don't want to be fussy when it comes to joy. You may be expecting a different guest to come. Meanwhile, welcome the one who does visit, and so you are becoming practiced in how to accept joy. I don't want to say that you are to be a good sport because that would imply there is reason for you to be disappointed and reason for you to be impatient, and so that you are right to be unhappy. I am telling you there is every reason to be glad. From gladness will come more and more joy. (Heavenletters) - www.heavenletters.org/you-are-no-stranger-joy.html
