* REFLECTIONS 01-29-13

Everyone has a song in their heart.

Everyone has a reason for being here

and a season for making their highest,

greatest most auspicious contribution.

No one knows what that is
or when that is for anyone else.

Only our own heart knows what
and when it is for us.

Your heart wants to sing.
Don't die with your music
still within you.

There is a reason for everything
and a purpose to your life.

Too many fail to listen
to the song in their heart

and therefore fail to find
their purpose and their part.

What makes your soul sing
and your heart dance?

Actually
your heart is your soul
and you are both!

Ask this one question of yourself
but don't be in a hurry to answer it.

Live in the question for a day,
a week,
a month.

Let it invite your heart to speak to you.

And when you are absolutely sure
what your heart is saying

is true then begin to invoke the changes
necessary in your life

so that you live
in alignment with your song.

Don’t chase people.

Be you,

do your own thing

and work hard.

The right people

who belong in your life

will come to you

and stay.

~ Unknown

Our attitudes control our lives.
Attitudes are a secret power

working 24 hours a day,
for good or bad.

It is of paramount importance

that we know how to harness

and control this great force.

- Tom Blandi

As your faith is strengthened
you will find that
there is no longer the need
to have a sense of control,
that things will flow as they will,
and
that you will flow with them,
to your great delight
and benefit.

~ Emmanuel Teney

Feeling Depressed?

“We see the world as we are.”

Remember the last bad day you had?
Chances are you ended up
in a grumpy mood
and feeling fed up.
Even though the sun
may have been shining
or people all around you
were happy and laughing –
you were miserable,
which meant the day was bad
no matter how you looked at it.

Unfortunately,
this same thinking
can color life itself.
If you’re facing hardship,
you may feel life holds no hope.

If you’re lonely,
you may decide the world
is an unfriendly place.
Resolve to change this thinking pattern,

now!

If you’re depressed,
think of the excitement that life offers.
If you feel stressed look
for opportunities with optimism
in your heart.
If you’re lonely,
realize the world is full of friendly people –
and go out and meet them.

By choosing to see the joy
in the way things are,
you’ll soon feel the joy
yourself!
