Those are all "garments and labels" you wear during the course of your stay here on this planet, but it's not who you are. At the end of the day, when it's all said and done, you will turn all of that back in just like a car you had on lease. Unfortunately, the common belief with most people is that happiness is something that happens to them when conditions are just right rather than something that happens through them when they choose to make space for it. While outer conditions may stimulate the feeling of happiness, it can never come from anywhere other than within us.
Authentic happiness isn't something we can go out and get, buy, borrow, or steal. Nor can any form of artificial sensory stimulus generate true happiness; it's only something we can be, and it's a choice we make with every breath we take. Therefore, if our intentions are dishonorable or simply cloudy and confused, it has to show up in the body of our relationships.
To be impeccable in our word is to bring our spoken word and our unspoken intention into alignment so that the inner thought and the outer action are the same.

The obstacle is the path. Know that a whole and happy life is not free of obstacles. Quite the contrary, a whole and happy life is riddled with obstacles-they simply become the very stepping-stones that help lift us to a new perspective. It is not what happens to us in this life that shapes us, it is how we choose to respond to what happens to us. Begin to explore where your mind is taking you. With what are you identifying as the core of your reality? To what are you giving your attention? Either you are rooted in Being Infinite Presence, here and now or you are rooted in the external world where the mind runs rampant, feeding on the latest fear presented by the media and unconscious others.

You can't have it both ways. A house divided always falls. If you want more of whatever it is you desire, you have to first prove to the universe that you are capable of having it by developing a consciousness that affirms there is no shortage of it. The only way to do this is by creating a vacuum or space for it to be received, and the only way you can create a space for it to be received is by letting go of what you do have, trusting that the universe knows what it is doing.
That's the law of circulation in action. What happens in our mind determines if we shall react or respond to that which is set before us at any given moment. The heart of humanity is a universal heartthrob—it pulsates at the center of every human being—it is that place within each of us where God has personalized Itself as unconditional Love. It knows it is one with something infinitely larger than what we see gazing back at us in the mirror. When another person pushes our buttons, perhaps the gift they offer us is an invitation to practice tolerance, non- judgment, or patience with ourselves.
Honoring and embracing our humanity with all our perceived flaws is a crucial component to living a life of wholeness. The practice is to remember that irrespective of where we are or what is happening, the Original Life that is God is there.

Our relationships are the vehicles for our evolution as individuals and a species. If we are fully conscious, our relation- ships offer us the clearest view of our own souls because they invite us to look directly into the face of the Divine and see our own reflection. Grace is the eternality of life forever flowing.
And it is that same Grace that spans the sacred continuum between those two events which blesses and sustains us always, in all ways. We simply need to awaken to Its presence and accept the gift that has already been given. To live with spiritual integrity and wholeness is the practice of skillfully blending our spiritual beingness with our human doingness while never losing sight of either. No doubt, people can say and do some incredibly cruel and thoughtless things that can understandably trigger our anger. However, at the end of the day, without exception, justified or not, it is we who suffer the toxic effects of being the conduit or vessel through which that energy of anger flows.
From the day when humankind first discovered music by beating a stick on a hollow log, to this moment in time, the music that flows through us is really the outer manifestation of an inner urge to express life. The wisdom of equanimity can be applied when navigating our way through difficult times as well as when dealing with difficult people. It is a mindfulness practice that helps us be the observer of our thoughts and feelings before we act on them in a manner that we may later regret. Every act of kindness creates a ripple effect that reaches out far beyond that of your own.
To realize we are in command of our mind and therefore our life is immensely empowering and liberating. Easy to say but difficult to do? The takeaway for me is this: The Divine imbues Itself equally in all living things, which includes each of us. What value shall we place on all that our eyes gaze upon today?
If you are willing to see any problem through new eyes you will be set free. It is important to understand that your current consciousness is more than your objective mental awareness; it is the sum of everything you ever believed and accepted to be the truth about yourself. There is nothing quite as empowering as the feeling that arises when we stand toe-to-toe with our own dragons of lethargy and slay them.
We are all visionaries—that is to say, we each hold in our mind a vision for our life: The real question is, what is your vision? Are you looking down at the rocks or up to the sky? Remember, the Universe is listening. In the end, when you leave this planet, will there be a surplus, or a deficit of love left in the wake of your life? Love who you are and love what you do with who you are, and the answer to that question will be self-evident.

Pete Beach, FL Your thoughts and words are declarations of who you think you are and how you perceive the world to be. In the new year, resolve to think and speak to yourself with inspirational words. When you do this you are literally reprogramming your beliefs about yourself and the world you live in with each positive thought. The best part is — the universe will reward you when you change the way you speak to yourself.
Motivate yourself with a collection of inspirational thoughts on confidence, success, life, and more. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.
No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame them, it will not change you. What you attract into your life is in harmony with your dominant thoughts. We can either tiptoe through life and hope that we get to death without being too badly bruised or we can live a full, complete life achieving our goals and realizing our wildest dreams.
Whatever is your goal, you can get there if you are willing to work. The faster you will manifest your dreams and goals. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.
