Don't ever forget . . . For even a day . . . How very special you are.

Image
Your presence is a present to the world. You're unique and one of a kind. Your life can be what you want it to be. Take the days just one at a time. Count your blessings, not your troubles. You'll make it through, whatever comes along. Within you are so many answers. Understand, have courage, be strong. Don't put limits on yourself. So many dreams are waiting to be realized. Decisions are too important to leave to chance. Reach for your peak, your goal and your prize. Nothing wastes more energy than worrying. The longer one carries a problem the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously. Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. Remember that a little love goes a long way. Remember that a lot of love goes forever. Remember that friendship is a wise investment. Life's treasures, are people . . . together. Realize that it's never too late. Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Have health, hope and ha...

Why do we keep living in fear and blocking our blessings?”

Image
I believe it’s because people don’t think they deserve the blessings and the good things. People think they’re not good enough. When you ask someone what they really want, they usually answer with a list of things they don’t want. Life is like a boomerang. What you give out, you’re going to get it back. What we believe about ourselves and our life is going to come true for us. If you keep telling the Universe what you don’t want, how can it give you what you want? After years of individual counseling with clients and conducting hundreds of workshops and lectures around the world, I found that there is one thing that heals every problem. And that is: to love yourself . When people start to love themselves more each day, it’s amazing how their lives get better. They feel better and they are open to more opportunities. They get the jobs they want. They have the money they need. Their relationships either improve, or the negative ones dissolve and...

The road of life

Image
At first, I saw ADONAI as being somebody like either a judge or an observer. He was keeping track of the things that I did wrong to determine whether I merited either Heaven or Hell when I died. He was out there sort of like a President. I recognized His picture when I saw it but I really didn't know Him. Later on in life, I met Y'SHUA the Messiah. When this happened, my idea of life changed to being like on a bike ride. The ride wasn't on a regular bike but on a tandem, a two-seater, and I noticed that Y'SHUA was in back helping me pedal. I don't know just when He suggested we change places, but life has not been the same since. When I had control, I knew the way. The ride was rather boring, but predictable...it was the shortest distance between two points. But when Y'SHUA took the lead, He knew delightful long cuts, up mountains and through rocky places at breakneck speeds. It was all that I could do to hang on! Even though it looked dangerous, He was in ...

Your inner strengths, your natural abilities and everyday skills are the gateway to a brighter future.

We are given everything we need to have the lives we want. It is within you, in your make-up, to be whoever you want to be. Maybe your mindset is driving you in such a way that you are repressing those wonderful gifts given to you as part of your creation. But I am here with GREAT news. They are there, and they are yours! All you have to do is unearth them and build something spectacular. Our talents and skills are part of our being. In fact, each of us has a distinct set of tools that are our own. And that’s why we were put on this planet – to share those talents and skills with the world! Turn off any self-talk that tells you that you are destined to live a small life. You’re not. You have internal gifts (resourcefulness, energy, attitude, all sorts of positive attributes) and external gifts (food, water, nature, people and other helpful resources). If you are thinking, “My only gift is that I can get up every morning and get through it all aga...

Start creating the happiness-habit by producing happy, love-filled thoughts.

Image
To gain happiness, you must learn to enjoy that which you have. It is not how much you have. It is what we think about that which we have that produces happiness. In building a happy, contented life, you must give happiness to others. No one living unto him or herself will ever be contented with his or her lot. Your happiness is reflected upon you through the service you give to others. And the thought you give to the creation of happiness will attract a happiness-service from others. Start creating the happiness-habit by producing happy, love-filled thoughts. Happiness is an attribute of love; therefore, you can never be happy until you give your love to others. Forest C.
