New Opportunities are waiting...

I open new doors to life.
Ahead of me is a continuous corridor of doors,
each one opening to a new experience.
As I move forward, I see myself opening various doors
on wonderful experiences that I would like to have.
I trust that my inner guide is leading me and guiding
me in ways that are best for me, and that my spiritual
growth is coninuously expanding.
No matter which door opens or which door closes,
I am always safe. I am eternal. I will go on forever
from experience to experience. I see myself opening
doors to joy, peace, healing, prosperity, love, understanding,
compassion, forgiveness, freedom, self-worth, and self-esteem.
It is all here before me.

Peace & Joy!

Gratitude

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough, and more.

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order,

confusion into clarity....

It turns problems into gifts, failures into success,

the unexpected into perfect timing,

and mistakes into important events.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and

creates a vision for tomorrow.

Being Too Serious Can Ruin Your Success

Are you having fun? Do you get a thrill from your work? Do you enjoy waking up each morning?
Here are some myths about work that can hurt your progress: "Work is not supposed to be fun." "You must buckle down and get serious."

Perhaps the biggest myth of all: "People will think I’m important if I act seriously."
Yet getting serious creates problems: stress, worry, anxiety, emotional pain, drudgery and failure. Resolving problems by getting more serious is like fixing a computer with a hammer. The harder you try, the worse the problem becomes.

12 Ways to Lighten Up

Approaching your life with a non-serious attitude gives you a clearheaded view of difficulties and the energy to deal with them. Problems become easier to solve, people are more cooperative and you feel more relaxed. You probably live longer and more successfully, as well.

Try these ideas until you find one that lightens you up.
1. Deliberately turn a molehill into a mountain. Make a big deal out of a little problem. "I would feel much better if these papers were stacked exactly like this! Not like that! Like this! Not this! This!"
2. Ask yourself, "Is getting serious about this situation really going to improve it?"
3. Focusing on the positives. "What is right about this situation?" "What else is right?" "What else?"
4. Consider a complete, major change. For example, go back to school, move to the ocean, start a new career.
5. Ask yourself, "When I’m on my deathbed, will I be glad I was so serious about _______?"
6. A challenging game is much better than no game at all. So consider losing all aspects of the problem. Examples: You feel serious about family problems. You ask yourself, "Well, what if I had no family at all?" You feel serious about your investments. You ask yourself, "What if I had no money to invest?"
7. The size of your problem may match the size of your game. So get a bigger game. For example, if you get uptight about paper clips being in the wrong drawer, your game size is tiny. Double your amount of responsibility. Set some huge goals. Succeed by thinking much, much bigger.
8. Stop trying to solve the problem that is making you so serious. Certain types of problems solve themselves if you leave them alone. Your problem may be one of those.
9. Compare what you are doing to other careers. Imagine being a septic tank drainer or a tax collector.
10. Make everyone around you lighten up.
11. Look at bizarre solutions. What is the craziest way you could solve your problem? What solution, if it worked, would make you laugh out loud?
12. Act stupid for a minute. Let down your hair. Stop being so darn important for a while. Be a goof!

Begin By Creating Your Vision

1. Thought: Your thoughts are very powerful and by staying focused on the positive, you will attract the positive. Allow your thoughts and energy to be only on the things you want more of in your life. Your energy with flow in the direction of your attention.
2. Gratitude: Be thankful for all of the good that is already present in your life. Be mindful and aware of all the blessings you have each day.
3. Intention: Be clear that your intentions are pure. Focus not only upon that which you wish to receive, but also on your purpose, and how you may be of service to the world.
4. Vision: Envision those things that you wish to mainfest in your life. Create a vision board by choosing images and words that inspire you, that speak to you personally. A visual representation of your goals and desires is a PRICELESS tool. Spend time daily focusing your attention and energy on it and feel it in your heart. See the life you are creating, let it move you to a place of faith and possibilities. BELIEVE!
5. Emotion: Your emotions are crucial. Find the time to do the things that bring you joy. Feel happy. Feel grateful. Feel the bliss of living the life of your dreams as though it were already so. Your emotions will fuel the energy that you send out into the world, and they will dictate that which comes back to you.
6. Prayer and Meditation: Make time each day to simply be still. Clear your mind of any clutter and negativity. Let go of old painful habits and thought patterns, in order to make room for the beauty, joy, and abundance that you deserve.
7. Action: Start by opening your mind and your heart. Become more aware of the opportunities you are presented with each day, and the synchronicity that already exists in your life. Take the steps in the direction of your dreams.

My Business is Prosperous

I am Divinely guided, so my business prospers, expands and grows.

I open my consciousness to a quantum leap of prosperity by thinking and accepting that large amounts of money flood to my bank account. I have plenty to use, to spare, and to share.

The law of prosperity keeps the flow of cash moving in abundant amounts.

It pays my bills and brings me everything I need and more.

I now choose to be a living example of prosperity consciousness.

I live and work in comfort and ease and beauty.

I have inner peace and security.

I watch with joy and gratitude as this business continually grows

and prospers far beyond my expectations.

I bless this business with love.

What Positive Emotions Do For You

You may have noticed that when you are feeling

grateful, happy, or joyful there is a sense of lightness and expansion.

You feel connected. You feel alive!

This is your natural state of being.

This is what your life was intended to be.

Strive to live in a state of joy, wonder, and gratitude.

These expansive positive emotions feel good
and raise your vibrational frequency.
In this place of love and joy, you are one with God,
and you are a magnet for all of the beauty and abundance
that the world has to offer.

Flow with Life

I breathe in Love, and I flow with Life

Am I expanding or contracting?

When I expand my thinking, my beliefs, and everything about me,

the love flows freely.

When I contract, I put up walls and shut myself off.

If I am frightened or threatened or feel that something is just not right, I begin to breathe. Breathing opens me up. It straightens my spine. It opens my chest.
It gives my heart room to expand.

By practicing breathing, I drop the barriers and begin to open up.

It is a begnning point.

Instead of going into total panic, I take a few breaths and ask myself:

Do I want to contract, or do I want to expand?
