Paint Your Life

Think of your life as a blank canvas. What do you want to see on this canvas? How do you want your life to go? Now, ask the Divine for what you want (this is your paint brush), and fill your canvas with visions of what you want (this is your paint). When you have a few moments during the day revisit these visions and hold in your heart the knowledge that you will receive them, that what you want is yours.

Change Your Energy

Like attracts like, so if you are sending out positive energy you will attract positive energy, if you are sending out negative energy you will attract negative energy. "How do I know what kind of energy I am sending out?" you say. That is simple, what are your predominate thoughts? Are you mostly thinking about what is wrong in your life? Are you constantly worrying about what is or can go wrong? Do you tell yourself that you don't have enough? Thoughts are energy and by focusing on these things you are sending out negative energy, and therefore you are receiving negative energy. Now, if you are satisfied with this (I can't imagine anyone would be), then don't change anything.

However, if you would like things to start going better for you, if you would like your life to be more positive then start changing the energy that you are sending. Start changing your thoughts. To do this, be aware of what you are thinking. If a negative thought comes into your mind purposely replace it with something positive, something that makes you feel happy. I don't have____, I don't like____, I don't want____, are negative thoughts and they will attract more of the same to you.

Change your thoughts, change your energy and change your life. I am not saying this will happen over night, but it will happen.

Until next week,

Gratitude

Let's talk about being grateful. What are you grateful for? Most people would say family, some would add friends. Are you grateful for your paycheck? Maybe not, after all you work hard for that money. Are you grateful for your possessions? Again probably not, you worked hard for the money that bought them. I am going to suggest to you that you try being grateful for all that you own. Be grateful for the good parking spot that you got. Be grateful for your job whether or not you like it. Be grateful in every aspect of your life, I mean truly grateful. As you develop gratitude for things that you normally take for granted watch and see what happens in your life, you should start noticing more things coming into your life to be grateful for.

Right now I am grateful to be able to share this message with you and grateful to you for reading it.

Until next week,

Irritations and Aggravations

People generally feel better when they feel happy. Staying happy is not always easy to do, though. There are always things that can irritate or aggravate us. The trick is to find something in the thing that is trying to ruin your mood to turn it around.

Here is an example: I have a co-worker that is always late, she is late getting to work and she is late getting back from lunch. We are usually scheduled so that I go home when she gets back from lunch. Because she is late coming back I am always forced to work late. I have already put in an 8 hour shift and I am ready to go home at the end of my shift. I have tried sending her to lunch early but she still comes back after the time I am supposed to leave. Sending her early just makes her later getting back. Now, this is very inconsiderate on her part and very irritating to me.
I don't want this negativity in my life, I am trying to rid life of negativity. My solution was to realize that her tardiness getting back from lunch was actually working for me, because I was collecting a few more minutes on the clock which adds up and at the end of the week I receive just a little more pay.

Now, I'm not saying this is easy, and I'm not saying that it will work for every situation, but give it a try. Try to find something that will turn the irritation to your advantage. Try to find something that will make it a little less irritating. Don't let inconsiderate people steal away your happiness.

Until next week,
