So today, ask yourself…

Image
Wisdom is not about knowing all the answers; it’s about asking the right questions. In the long run, the simple questions you ask yourself on a regular basis will determine the type of person you become. So today, ask yourself… What do I appreciate about my life? – Think of your lifestyle as a diet. You fill it with the fuel that’s going to keep you performing at your highest level. Supplementing your daily routine with positivity can only make you stronger. Because once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you will start having more positive results. And over time, as this habit helps you reduce stress, release your hurt, and not take things so personally, you will not only feel better, you will look younger and live longer too. Am I spending time with the right people? – There are over seven billion people in the world right now; don’t let a handful of negative ones ruin your happiness. No, you can’t choose every person you meet in life, but you can ch...

Happiness Habits

Image
Studies conducted by positivity psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky point to 12 things happy people do differently to increase their levels of happiness. These are things that we can start doing today to feel the effects of more happiness in our lives. I want to honor and discuss each of these 12 points, because no matter what part of life’s path we’re currently traveling on, these ‘happiness habits’ will always be applicable. Express gratitude. – When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. Kinda cool right? So basically, being grateful for the goodness that is already evident in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that’s without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. We’re gonna have a hard time ever being happy if we aren’t thankful for what we already have. Cultivate optimism. – Winners have the ability to manufacture their own optimism. No matter what the situation, the successful diva is the chick who wi...

How to Be Happy

Image
More than 100 years ago, author Robert Louis Stevenson offered the following tips for maintaining a positive attitude. They still apply today. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, enmity, grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new plac...

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

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 ...
