At the beginning of a new year we have the tendency to set goals. But what we fail to understand is, that everyday, week, month, year, etc. we should set goals  and not just at the beginning of a new year. We should start this by making a commitment to ourselves. Commit to achieving our goals. This is because fulfilling promises (honouring commitments) will help us live in integrity.

If there are setbacks, on the way to our goals, don’t panic! Don’t give up! Just recommit! There is no limit on the number of times we can recommit. All we need to remember is the Universe will always help us fulfill sincere promises.

We know we can accomplish whatever we put our minds and hearts to do, because we have the Power within us. When we are divinely inspired, we find strength and resolve to accomplish our intentions, our goals.

Let us now envision the result we want and imagine the feeling of having it. Our faith and confidence will grow with each goal we achieve. Commit!

The way you look at life is an indicator of your expectations, it is based on what you have been taught you’re worthy of and capable of achieving. These expectations come from external influences such as family, community and institutions and the internal influence of your ego. These sources of your expectations are largely based on the beliefs of limitation, scarcity and pessimism about what is possible for you. If these beliefs are the basis for how you look at life then this perception of the world is what you expect for yourself. Attracting abundance, prosperity and success from these limiting viewpoints is an impossibility.

Take an inventory of how you look at the world, asking yourself how much of your life energy is focused on explaining away potentially optimistic viewpoints by preferring to see inequities and inconsistencies in the abundance-for-all philosophy?

Can you change the way you look at things? Can you see potential for prosperity where you’ve always seen scarcity? Can you change what is by simply changing the way you see it? YES YOU CAN!!!

–  Excerpts from “The Power of Intention”, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Research has shown that kindness has a positive effect on the immune system and in the increase production of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a naturally occurring substance in the body that makes us feel more comfortable, peaceful and blissful.

So a simple act of kindness directed toward another improves the functioning immune system and stimulates the production of serotonin in both the recipient and extender of the kindness. Even more amazing is that persons witnessing the act are also similar beneficiaries.

So imagine that, kindness extended, received and observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved!

So today let’s commit to at least one act of kindness

It is the new year, so now’s a great time to:

1. Wipe the slate clean.
2. Focus upon what you really want.
3. Chart your course.

Right?

Well… only if you want to risk having to repeat these steps for the same wishes next year! Maybe this is splitting hairs, but here’s an adventurous alternative:

1. Give thanks that life is… just as it is (and that it’s been… just as it’s been). Because of it, you’re now “READY.”

2. Define what you want in terms of the end result. Don’t worry about the hows, or even the course. KNOW that what you want is ALREADY yours in spirit, by divine LAW, just focus on the certainty of this ownership, understand it, claim it, and “it will be on earth, as it is in heaven (spirit).”

3. LET THE UNIVERSE show you the way via your impulses and instincts that appear as you take inspired action. Don’t worry that your first steps seem silly or futile. And if you don’t know what to do, do anything! Go! Get busy! Do not insist on intermediary successes, only upon the end result.

2012 is going to be your year (it already is)!!

Many of us suffer from body image issues; I’m too fat, too thin, etc., I believe when we are balanced in our mind, it is reflected in our bodies. I always say “What you focus on multiplies, so why not focus on the positive?”  So the more we focus on what’s wrong with us, the more it shows up. So let’s change our habits, let’s stop “seeing” what’s “wrong” but let our thoughts be on our body being in harmony. Let us start by using the following affirmation:

I am a strong, confident, disciplined child of the Universe. I am established today in the awareness that my body is a living Temple. All the functions of my body are harmonized, and every organ is doing its perfect work in a perfect way. I am receptive and responsible this day to the Divine Intelligence within me which knows the needs of my body temple. I will eat sensibly, exercise regularly, and rest sufficiently. I am free from hidden hungers that might lead to excess in eating or drinking. The Universe’s love deep within me satisfies my longing heart and fills my soul and body with all that they require to make my life full and complete. My appetite and assimilation of food are in divine order, and my body manifests the symmetry and perfection of Divine Intelligence, whose expression I am. I see myself in the mirror of Truth, beholding the form and shape that I desire to express in my body. I see myself healthy and satisfied. Today I will think health!

How many of us suffer from the “yeah, but…” disease? You know the one that goes something like, “I can do it, yeah but such and such a person won’t like it?” or “I can open my own business, yeah but the economy is bad?”

We often allow this “yeah, but…” disease to cripple us. We have great ideas and here comes “yeah, but…” to stop us from executing them!

Let’s get rid of this disease!

Let’s put it where it belongs, where “butt” belongs, behind us! (Pun intended).

Step up, step out and take a chance! Execute your great ideas and help with eradication of the “yeah, but…” disease!

This is a beautiful poem, remember thoughts become things, think positive!

You Can If You Think You Can!

 

If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will.
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.

~ C. W. Longenecker ~

 

Just read an article called “Let go or be dragged”, and it made me think, “Why is it so hard to let go of something that is obviously hurting us or not working?”

We refuse to release what is known because we fear the unknown. What will life be like—and who will we be—if we’re not the employee in this job … the spouse in this marriage … the person with this health problem … the victim who can’t win, and so on?

There have been plenty of times in your life when you have stubbornly clung to outworn jobs, unfulfilling relationships and unproductive behaviors simply because they had become comfortable and familiar. First you try to convince yourself that the situation was really okay, or tolerable, or destined to improve, even when your deep-down self knew better.  Working up the courage to let go of a bad situation felt a lot like running up to the edge of a cliff repeatedly until you can finally muster the will to leap over the chasm to the other side.  In the process, you endured many false starts, much self-criticism, abundant advice from others and emotional exhaustion until you finally do what you really knew you needed to do all along.

It is not a pretty picture when we resist change and are dragged into it and it is not a pleasant feeling.

And so we come to the affirmation “Let go and let God.” It is indeed frightening to let go of a current situation when we do not know what’s coming next. And yet, that is the only way to grow. There is a higher truth waiting to be expressed through us—but it can only come into being if we set our egos aside and allow it to unfold.

We are destined for so much more than the limited expression of who we are today. If we let go of that which is holding us back, we discover the truth of our being: That we are a child of God with unlimited potential and vastly untapped power, wisdom and gifts. We have within us all the clarity, all the courage and all the integrity and magnetism we need to overcome any current limitations and create something exponentially better.

We are not only worthy of that divine expression—it is why we are here.
