You are in my Prayers

Hope this Blesses you as much as it has Blessed me.

When God takes something from your grasp.
He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to
receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence.
"The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God
will not protect you."

Why Worry?

Worry is the misuse of the imagination 

Worry is assuming responsibility that God never intended you to have.

Worry never robs tomorrow of it's sorrow

Worry only saps today of it's strength

Why worry when you can pray? Trust Jesus he knows the way.

Helping Others

If you are doing more for others, they will be drawn to you.

If you help other people  get what they want out of life,

You will get what you want out of life!

KEEP YOUR STANDARDS HIGH‏

Hold yourself to a high standard. To raise the quality of your reality, raise your expectations.

Refuse to listen to your own excuses. Demand integrity, commitment and persistence from yourself in all your undertakings.

Keep yourself lovingly and gratefully focused on whatever is truly important to you. Let go of any urge to be cynical, and allow your most meaningful dreams to flourish within your awareness.

Get in the habit of finding and expanding what’s best, in yourself, in others, and in each situation. Learn to see the value in moments large and small, and act to make positive use of that value.

Resist the temptation to shortchange yourself or others, or to settle for anything less than your very best. This is your unique and precious life, so give it all the respect and effort it is due.

Fill each day with richness and excellence, competence and solid, honest commitment. Keep your standards high, and seek to live such that you’ll never have any regrets.
 
— Ralph Marston

All is not lost

It may very well feel like you’ve been knocked off track. But perhaps, instead, you have found a better way.

It may seem like a setback. But perhaps it is instead an opportunity for you to fashion a more effective approach.

You may feel like you’ve wasted an enormous amount of time on something that didn’t work out. Yet in that time you’ve created much value that somehow, in some way, you can still put to good use.

It’s not any fun when things don’t turn out the way you planned. Yet many times, it may actually be for the best.

Step back from your disappointment and re-connect with your passion. Know that there is a positive and effective way forward.

All is not lost, because you still have the ability and the desire to make things right. Grab your fresh new opportunity to move forward, and run with it.
 
-  Ralph Marston

GO AHEAD AND DO IT ANYWAY‏

Somebody is going to criticize what you do. Do it anyway.

There will be problems and complications that come up, and you won’t get it finished as quickly as you planned. Do it anyway.

Right now there’s something you sincerely want to achieve, or experience, or become, or express. And though there are endless excuses for not moving forward on it, there’s also one very compelling reason to go ahead and get it done.

If you truly desire it, and believe in it, and know it’s worthwhile, then it’s something you are meant to do. And it’s something that somehow, in some way, can absolutely happen for you.

But it won’t just happen because you want it to. It will happen when you focus the power of your spirit and awareness persistently in the direction that makes it happen.

Go ahead, and experience the priceless joy of living with meaningful purpose. Go ahead, and make it happen.

— Ralph Marston

HOW YOU CAN RESPOND‏

Focus not on making judgments about what has happened. Focus on how you can respond in a positive way that will create value from the situation.  

 

 Life is always changing, and with every change comes new opportunity. Instead of fearing or fighting the changes that are already going on, look for the opportunities in them.

 

Be clear about what you intend for your life and your world. When you look at what's going on around you through the filter of your intentions, you'll see plenty of great possibilities for fulfilling those intentions.

 

Don't get sidetracked worrying or arguing about who is at fault or what could have been done differently. Put your energy into making good and meaningful use of what is.

 

Find your comfort not in holding on to the past but in realizing that the future is yours to create as you wish. Know clearly and precisely what you want, and you'll see just how you can make use of what is, to bring about what you desire.

 

There is something changing right now, and in that change is valuable opportunity being born. Open your eyes, take a deep breath, put a smile on your face, and make that opportunity your own.

A Woman's Place:

 They speak of a woman's place as though it had a limit-
There's not a place in earth or heaven, there's not a task to mankind given,there's not a blessing or a woe,there's not a whispered "yes" or "no", there's not a life or death or birth, that has a feather's weight of worth-
Without a Woman in it. Mary C. Crowley

THE BEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN‏

With all its imperfections and challenges, today is still the best day yet. Though you may have known much love and joy and fulfillment in the past, you can experience even more today.  
For you can bring with you to this day the best of all you've ever known, and then you can add to its beauty. On top of that, you can leave behind the disappointments and limiting assumptions that have held you back, and free yourself to truly soar.

 
Sure, there are problems that you will face. Yet you can face them with a lifetime of wisdom and experience, more today than you've ever had before.

 
You're better prepared than ever to transform those problems into opportunities. And you're more determined than ever to transform the best of those opportunities into real, meaningful value.

 
All of what you've been through has made you stronger and more capable, in ways that you're not even fully aware of yet. Today you can choose to use that ever-growing strength and ability in the service of your most treasured visions.

 
Whatever else may be going on, in many important and powerful ways you're the best you've ever been. Grab the opportunity that is today, and make it into something great.

 
-- Ralph Marston

LIVE INTENTIONALLY‏

If you want to live richly, live intentionally. Choose what you wish to create, and then experience the immense satisfaction of making it so.   Instead of being consumed with doubts and fears about what might happen, be focused on what you will cause to happen. Listen to your heart, and take the initiatives that most closely resonate with what you hear.
 
Absolutely accept and embrace whatever randomness life brings your way. Yet do it from a perspective of your own choosing.
 
Get the very most from each day by making the intentional choice of how to spend it. Instead of being pushed in a hundred different directions by the conflict and complexity that surrounds you, harness the energy of your passion and purpose.
 
Direct yourself, consistently and persistently, toward the places, situations, experiences, people and results that you wish to have in your life. You have more than enough energy, opportunities and ability, when focused in a specific direction, to achieve whatever you choose.
 
So choose to choose. Decide how your life will be, this hour, this day, this year, this century, and live the true richness of making it happen.

Time to listen and know

Just stop for a little while and listen. Re-acquaint yourself with the beautiful, peaceful, intuitive person you are

 

inside.

 

The oh-so-urgent concerns of the world can wait for a little bit. Take some time to listen to the wisdom that speaks softly but profoundly at the center of your being.

 

Remember what you have forgotten, and discover what you never before realized you knew. Don't be so busy chasing success that you lose touch with why you're doing it.

 

Quiet your thoughts and know the things that you can know without thinking. Give your dreams and your highest visions the chance to catch up with you.

 

Listen, without the need to interrupt or judge, or interject your thoughts. Just listen, and know.

Let wisdom and intuition speak clearly and freely to you. Take some quiet, peaceful time to listen, to accept the

wisdom, and to know.

-- Ralph Marston

NOW IS NEW‏

Now is here, and now is not like any other time that has ever been. For right now, it doesn't matter who is to blame or what has held you back.   This is when you can take positive action. This is when you can step away from the problem and into the solution.   You are now free of past assumptions and connected to limitless possibilities. You are newly arrived in this moment, ready to live with more richness and fulfillment than ever before.
 
If you could choose to experience some specific positive change in your life right now, what would it be? How would it look, what would it feel like and how would it sound?
 
If there were one small, easily accessible step that you could take right now to begin making that change happen, what would it be? And what would be a step you could take after that?
 
Imagine, more vividly than ever before, living true to your most treasured dreams and highest values. Now is new, now is here, and now is when you can.

Genuine Desire

What you most fervently desire pushes you to give the best you can give. In focusing on those things you wish to attain, you'll activate the strength and discipline necessary for their achievement.     It is never selfish to desire what you genuinely desire. What's selfish is stifling those desires and declining to give the world your own unique greatness.
 
The fulfillment you seek will not take anything away from anyone else. In fact, in the process of bringing about that fulfillment you add much value to the lives of those around you.
 
Real, lasting, meaningful success is built by creating value. Your desire for some particular outcome motivates you to achieve, and as you achieve you lift others up as well.
 
Those things you are positively passionate about enable you to discover powerful, effective ways of creating new value. When you follow your dreams, you lead other people to theirs.
 
Listen to the stirrings of your own authentic desires. When you're clear about what you wish to do, there's no limit on how high you can lift the whole world.

A little bit different

You are always achieving something, one thing or another. You are always getting results of some kind.   Getting the results you most passionately and authentically desire is not a matter of making more effort. It is, rather, a matter of making different efforts and consistently keeping those efforts focused.

 
Focus is a choice you make in every waking moment. You are always focused on one thing or another.

 
The way to maintain your focus long enough to get the results you seek, is by reminding yourself why. Be clear about why you want those results, and find a way to keep those reasons close at hand.

 
The success you seek is not particularly difficult. It's just a little bit different than what you're doing now.

 
Be clear about why, keep your thoughts and efforts focused, and your life will proceed in the direction of your dreams.

Worry

Worry is a mis-use of the imagination.
Worry is assuming responsibility that God never intended you to have.
Worry never robs tomorrow of it's sorrow.
Worry only saps today of it strength. 

Why worry when you can pray trust Jesus he knows the way.

All for the best

Whatever has happened, accept that it is for the best. Feel the freedom of not having to fight against the past.   Sure, you could place judgments on past events and wish they had happened differently. And all that judging and wishing would do nothing except waste your time and energy.
 
Simply accept that what has already happened is indeed for the best. Then get busy making it so.
 
Choose to fully appreciate what you have right now to work with, no matter how it may have arrived. Know that there is real value in your present circumstance, and you'll find that value and be able to build on it.
 
Often, an outstanding opportunity will make its first appearance in the form of a heartbreaking disappointment. By accepting that the disappointment is for the best, you gain entrance to the full power of the opportunity.
 
All that has happened is for the best. With it you can fashion your own unique greatness.
