In this series on Purposeful Action, I would

like to introduce a discussion on simplifying

our lives. Often, in my life, when I wished

to make a life change the most, I found

myself complicating my life so the change

was impossible. I would go out and buy a

bigger house or a new car so changing

my job or career became difficult. 

 

As outlined in the Affirmative Thought, titled

Simplification, purposeful action is easiest

to obtain when we unravel the complexity of

our lives, whether financial, social, mental,

professional, or personal, and leave the burdens

we have, in most cases, self-created on the

side of the road.

  

SIMPLIFICATION 

 

Today, through simplification, we realize

that less is really more – an opportunity

to unravel the complexity of our lives and

find freedom by removing our burdens and

leaving them on the side of the road of life –

allowing us to run through the fields of joy –

free to dance and sing.

 

Today, through simplifying our minds

we determine our reactions to the challenges

we confront and reserve our response –

avoiding the investment of emotion in

meaningless experience.

 

Today, we simplify our needs and desires,

leaving only the essential wants –

those centered on love, family, and God –

those centered on living our authentic lives.

 

Today, we understand there is so much more

in seeking so much less!

 

WITH LOVE, G. 

Yes! Yes! Yes! - Affirmative Thought - Daily Post On Enlightenment - 8.23.10

 

There is a concept called “swarming” that refers to when you

think of a certain person, place, thing, or idea and you find

references to it popping up throughout your day and your life.

Swarming makes a lot of sense when you apply the Law of

Attraction to your thoughts, so when you focus on a particular

subject the universe brings related aspects of it into your mind

and life.

 

Eric Butterworth in his highly recommended book, The Creative

Life – 7 Keys To Your Inner Genius, notes the following about

swarming.

                 

            It is the nature of Mind for an idea to attract

           swarms of supportive and expansive thoughts.

 

So the reason I have chosen to offer the Affirmative Thought

below tiled Yes!Yes!Yes! rather than continue on with my

series on Purposeful Action, is that since I wrote this thought

for Ann on Sunday morning I have been swarmed by similar

references.

 

After I wrote this note for Ann, we attended a Religious Science

Service and the minister is clearly emphasizing we should say “yes”

to our dreams. I read the Unity’s Daily Word today titled

Live Today and this line stands out on the page:

 

            Right now, I have the opportunity to say “yes!”

            to life, to be alive and aware of the wondrous

            energy of God coursing through my body.

 

Ann was so impacted by this particular note that she suggested

that I feature it on the blog. I have clearly gotten the message

from the universe that I need to be saying Yes!. Maybe there

are a few readers of this blog who are also intended for this

communication.

 

Let me know if you feel you are one of those readers. 

 

 

                              Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

Start your day with a “Yes” – yes I am fully right and

                  aligned – yes I am without doubt and believe –

yes I am ready to receive the joy, the happiness of

                  my perfect life – my dreams fulfilled –my

   heaven on earth. Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

Start your day knowing that there is only “yes”

                  and “no” is an illusion – a product of our

 minds in fear – afraid to succeed – afraid to receive

                  our full life waiting – for fear we are not -

   for fear we will need to transform and fail.

 

Start your day with the perfect sound of “Yes!”,

                  clear, confident, ready to move forward

 with arms out spread and be surrounded

                  by your abundance and overcome

   by your rightful joy.

 

Today shout out to God –Yes! Yes! Yes! –

                  I am ready to receive!

Walk WIth Strength - Affirmative Thought - Daily Post On Enlightenment - 8.16.10

Ann and I are back from a wonderful week spent with our

grandson swimming, bowling, going to the movies, and just

having fun. As I moved away from my regular routine I found

some negative thoughts creeping back into my consciousness

and I realized that maintaining a positive mental attitude is

full time job.

 

My  Meditation Guidance indicated that it was time for me

to go back to the basics so I went directly to the bookshelf

and reached for my favorite attitude guide – The Little

Gold Book of YES! Attitude by Jeffrey Gitomer. I have

used this as my guide for years and recommend it to

anyone who has an attitude that needs tweaking or a major

overhaul.

 

I would like to start off the discussion on building and

maintaining a positive mental attitude with the Affirmative

Thought titled Walk With Strength below that emphasizes

that God is with us every step of the way.

 

                             Walk With Strength

 

Walk with strength and confidence today knowing

                  God walks with you step by step – a constant

   companion of love and caring – always ready to assist

                  in your moments of doubt and help you find

      peace and joy in your life.                 

 

Walk with strength today knowing with God you can

                  do, be, or become anything you wish, hope,

   or desire simply by turning to the spirit that walks

                   with you.

 

Walk with strength today knowing you possess all

                  the powers and creative forces you need to

   manifest the life and world of your dreams

                  through co-creation with God.

 

Walk with strength for God is with you now

                   and forever!

The Affirmative Thought below titled Secret

Power, continues our focus on love and

kindness. In my reading of the spiritual

wisdom through the ages, I am truly

amazed that “love” is the centerpiece

of most guidance for reaching

enlightenment.

 

Two thousand years ago the Upanishads,

written by the early Hindu mystics, spoke

of the “Lord of Love,” featuring love

as the key ingredient for transcending

this plane, saying -  “drink deep of divine

love and you will reach the unitive state."

 

SECRET POWER

 

Today let us realize the amazing power

    of love, to change the world or change

the moment – the secret ingredient

    of our humanness – the essence

of our Godliness – always within

    us to mold and shape our lives

for the better.

 

Today let us realize the amazing power

    of love used by Jesus to heal the sick

and the afflicted – used by every mother

    to sooth the hurting child.

 

Today let us bring the power of love

    out from within our hearts and souls

to mend our minds, heal our spirits,

and uplift the world.

 

Today let us use the amazing power

    of love – God’s gift of godliness to us

to mend and transcend our day

    and touch all we meet.

 

Today, let us use our secret power!

Authentic Love - Affirmative Thought - Daily Post On Enlightenment - 8.5.10

I would like to add another Affirmative Thought

titled  Authentic Love below to assist us in our

pursuit of loving-kindness. In this thought love

is described as the “energy of all creation – the

glue to the glories of life”. Loving-kindness to me

is at the heart of enlightenment and often seems

to be the most difficult to consistently obtain.

 

 

                  Authentic Love

 

Let us find the beauty that is

                   in our souls, in our cells,

   in each breath and reveal it

                        to the world understanding

      the divine nature of our creation-

our experience here on earth –

                  our wondrous life now.

 

Let us find the joy that is

                  within our hearts springing

   from authentic love and existence –

                  clearly moving and using

      our talents and gifts to create

heaven on earth.

 

Let us find the love that is

                  the energy of all creation –

   the glue to the glories of life –

                    the seam behind every

positive thought and action.

 

Today let us live as we were

                  meant to live –

   alive in God’s world!

 

 

Perfect Path - Affirmative Thought - Daily Post On Enlightenment - 8.3.10

The Affirmative Thought below titled Perfect Path

addresses the belief that we are all on a spiritual

journey that will lead us to our authentic selves and

our spiritual destiny. What do you think? It has taken

most of my life to realize this possibility and I am

still trying to fully understand the destination.

                                                      

                  Perfect Path

 

Look into your heart today

                  and reflect on all you have

   as you move forward

                  on your spiritual journey.

 

See the progress you have made

                  and know more waits for you

   as you manifest and embody

                  your authentic self.

 

Look into your heart today

                  and know you are on

   the perfect path and that today

                  is an essential step

       on your journey.

 

Use today to the fullest –

                  let the opportunities

   of your spirit and the universe unfold,

                  blossom, and give birth to the

        ever evolving creation of you.

 

Spiritual Journey - Affirmative Thought - Daily Post On Enlightenment - 8.2.10

I believe we are all on a spiritual journey as noted in the

Affirmative Thought below. At times I lose my focus and

become lost in my to do list, my activities, my form life

and find it helpful to be reminded that there is much more

to this experience.

                                                     

                  Spiritual Journey

 

Today let us understand that our lives

                  are spiritual journeys

   conceived with divine guidance

                   enabling us to fulfill our destiny –

       our true purpose.

 

Seek peace and joy within this purpose

                  knowing each step

   is a co-creation with the

              divine within us

        and the divine surrounding us.

 

Today let us quiet our minds

                   and reflect on this

spiritual journey –

                  let us take stock –

    let us understand the intentions

      

of our authentic selves and

                  all of our divine guidance

and find our true path again –

                  moving forward

   align our lives.

 

Today let us shake off

                  the dust of our desire

for physical form

                  and seek our spiritual order-

   one with ourselves –

                  one with the universe.

 

Today let us find the way!
