Bring Light and Positive Energy into the World


Be like the sun
'In every moment we have a chance to make a choice to bring light into the world. When we bless others with the gift of our positive energy, instead of letting circumstances affect us negatively, we bring a little peace to the world every day.'  
Madisyn Taylor, DailyOM


Be the light you wish to see in the world 
Rise above your circumstances to do good and bring compassion to others despite facing your own hardships.
Don't let your daily difficulties get you down and self-focused. Reach out to others with kindness as you allow others to reach out to you.
Choose to live in the spiritual realm of life instead of being victimized by the circumstantial realities of your life. The positive energy you give to others will come back to you ten-fold~re-energizing you for yet another day .

How to Get the Most out of Life


'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.'  Mark Twain

The Challenge


Each of us is challenged to discover the best way to get the most out of life. As Twain says, playing it safe only leads to a disappointing life.
To achieve a satisfying and happy life you must risk being hurt, wrong, scared, disappointed, rejected, ridiculed, and silly. You must throw off the things keeping you tied to your safe harbor and venture into the vast ocean of possibilities.
....And you must continuously step into the emotional waters at high tide.



What you value provides the wind in your sails 

What Matters to You?
Putting yourself out there and going after what you want is a risk. The courage to risk comes from discovering what matters to you. 

Start by defining what you want out of life at this juncture so you can better guide your choices and daily actions. What you care about matters--it is the wind in your sails propelling you forward into a satisfying life adventure.

Discover what matters to you so you can:

💓Concentrate your limited time and energy on those things that count.
💙Plan your life so you feel more control over the things that matter to you.
💛Create a sense of urgency for the things that are most important to you.


Stop letting fear keep you tethered
Explore ~ Dream ~ Discover
 Helen Keller said, "Life is a daring adventure or it is nothing." The secret to a happy life is to have the courage to continuously explore what matters to you and cast off the things keeping you tied to your safe harbor. Stop letting fear keep you tethered.

Navigating a Course of Action

💜What would you do this week if you knew you couldn't fail? Take a step.
💓What do you wish someone would ask you to do? Go do it.
💛If you had all the money in the world, what would you spend your life doing? Start doing it.



Sail Away from the Safe Harbor

 What is one step you can take today to catch the trade winds in your sails?

'A ship is safe in a harbor, but that's not what ships are for.' William Shedd  1820-1894

Breathing to Calm and Uplift Your Spirit


Inner Breath 
By Jeffrey Corbett, 2017

What if the Inner Breath was imperceptibly soft? 

So soft one could not feel it

On the back of the hand,

Or on the neck or cheek,

Or even hear it in a Puppy's ear.


What if it moved so slowly it could not be seen,

Not by the eye of an Eagle,

Nor with the patience of a Torti?



What if it had the power of a Tsunami,

Struck the speed of a Satori,

A blinding flash of white light

Resonating

Deep within the soul?



What if the Inner Breath

Was the source of all Life,

The source of all Well-being,

The source of Healing,

The source of Knowledge

Of Relationships

Of Wisdom

Of Happiness

Of Contentment

Of Chogyam's Basic Goodness?



What if we all have Inner Breath,

Inherently

Hidden deep within

Waiting, waiting

Only to manifest

In moments of Truth

In absolute Stillness? 






BREATHE STILLNESS AND LISTEN

Confidence Crisis: Facing Life's Most Dangerous Opportunity




Confidence Crisis

All of us experience a confidence crisis when we're on the brink of starting a new venture or taking a new direction in life. There's always that moment when our fear of being seen as 'not good enough' prevents us from stepping confidently into the world.

To achieve your heart's desire to successfully navigate the world you must experience, then walk past, the fear of not being worthy or good enough. You must face life's most dangerous opportunity--a crisis of confidence--head on.


Chinese Symbol for Crisis

A Confidence Crisis is Life's Most Dangerous Opportunity

Why do I call a 'confidence crisis' life's most dangerous opportunity?

By definition, a crisis is a decision point--or point in time when things come to a head--such as in a medical or personal crisis when it's a critical time to decide on a course of action and follow through.

The Chinese symbol for the word 'crisis' has two characters with one meaning danger and the other opportunity. Every crisis presents us with both danger and opportunity.

Crises come in many forms--job loss, divorce, illness, financial difficulties, new boss, or dealing with difficult people. In each of these crises we can choose to see the danger or we can choose to step past the fear to see the opportunities to make new choices for a better life.

A confidence crisis is life's most dangerous opportunity because you must conquer it first before taking on the other crisis at hand. A confidence crisis allows you to test your ability to handle life. 

You'll grow stronger and more confident every time you choose to deal with your confidence crisis by taking action despite the fear.



Step Out of the Danger into the Opportunity

Do not be afraid of life's difficulties and crises. They strengthen your ability to tackle life.
Choose to view your momentary fear of unworthiness as your 'most dangerous opportunity' and consciously step out of the danger into the opportunity. 
If I knew I could not fail, what would I do today to create the life I desire?

Write on Your Heart Every Day is the Best Day~Ralph Waldo Emerson


Write it on Your Heart

“Write it on your heart 
that every day is the best day in the year.

He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day 
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.

Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day~begin it well and serenely~
with too high a spirit 
to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear~with its hopes and invitations~
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”


Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bloom Where You're Planted


Bloom Where You're Planted

Today is the day and now is the hour for you to flourish and grow.
Accept your natural place in nature. Like a flower--you're commissioned to bloom where you're planted despite harsh environments, scourges or thorns in your sides.
Just like perennials growing in your garden you're perfect at every stage of the life cycle--and destined to succeed over and over again despite the ebbs and flows of life.
All you're required to do is show up and bloom where you're planted.
Today is the day and now is the hour. 
FLOURISH!

'I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, 
fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. 
I dropped it carelessly, 
Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity.'
Hazel Lee
