Thought For The Day - Pause

Without taking a moment to review the depths of your soul purpose, you may find yourself swirling in circles. The human aspect of ourselves gets lost in the details - without a pause.

Thought For The Day - Merriment

Even if you still have work to do, things that could be accomplished, grant yourself the occasional shift of focus to group merriment. Take time to recharge the source of enthusiasm that is used up in work.

Thought For The Day - Separation

At the heart of our human anguish, the motivating drive behind so many of our actions, is the soul's sense of separation. In our bodies, we are not able to feel as connected as we once did while immersed in the Spirit realm. Even with too many others around us, we can still feel alone.
Take a moment and put yourself back into the feeling that your soul remembers. Imagine every other person around you (as well as your self) as a new born baby, with the pure loving Spirit each soul comes in with. Hold this image as you go through your day and see what happens.

Thought For The Day - Agitation

The reason a young child is able to switch out of agitation is because they are fully present in their frustration. They naturally use stomping, crying and complaining to "get it out." (The only real problem with these outbursts is that they are directed to another person in an attempt to have someone else "fix it.") So, on your own, without lashing out at others, allow yourself to acknowledge your inner temper tantrum and find a way to let off some steam. Release your emotional pressure cooker, and then address whatever is agitating you.

Thought For The Day - Experience

A personal grapple with challenge is more valuable, to yourself and others, than the greatest wisdom relayed without experience.

Thought For The Day - Regrets

Spending a little reflection on what you regret is only useful in helping you to avoid repeating mistakes. To stay there longer limits your soul's ability to move forward in creating your life the way you would like it now.

Thought For The Day - Too Many Things

Do you find yourself struggling with the challenge of "Too Many Things?" This can be too many choices, too many emotions, too many people's demands, too many tasks, too many problems, etc. As long as you are trying to address them all, as if they were equally important, you will be as a person trying to put out a field of scattered fires with one tiny bucket. Take a deep breath, allow a vision of clarity into your mind - see what has the most value to you and focus your energy on that. Put out the biggest fires and the others go out themselves.

Thought For The Day - Direction

Sometimes what we think we are supposed to be doing is very different than the direction our soul knows we should take. We are driven by all kinds of "extra" signals, so getting quiet and allowing the voice of our soul to lead us to what is most important next can point us back in the right direction.

Thought For The Day - Distraction

Don't assume that to be distracted is always a bad thing. Sometimes a distraction is a knock on the head from Spirit, or your soul essence, giving you a clue when you are too focused in the wrong direction. Just take a moment and ask yourself, "Is this really what serves me best in this moment?" It is possible that your agenda was actually a distraction from your true path!

Thought For The Day - The Next Thing

When you reach a milestone, accomplish a goal or complete a series of tasks, do you take the time to review, reflect and relish the moment? Or are you driven to rush to the next thing? Step out of your human doing and give your soul a chance to breathe. Then, the next thing will be determined by your higher soul self instead of your habitual impulses.

Thought For The Day - Annoyance

When you become annoyed, you are being given an opportunity to step outside of yourself and notice the world around you. Instead of seeing things only from your own perspective and focusing on what you want, try a new angle. See how your actions and desires might blend with those around you - regain your sense of connection.

Thought For The Day - Awakening

When you realize that there is more going on than the details of your human life, you embrace the possibility of your soul's greatness.

Thought For The Day - Your Job

You are part of a team, a Spirit guide team. Their job is to help you with the miracles that will move you forward on your soul path. Your job is to let them.

Thought For The Day - Synchronicity

Where ever your body goes and what ever your human form gets you into, know that your soul is everywhere at all times. Your soul has the capacity to do more than you know. You may think that you are alone, but your soul is setting up synchronicity appointments.

Thought For The Day - Gloom

If you are stuck in depression or low energy, see yourself like a fairy mired in dry mud up to her waist. You may have wallowed in your emotional muck so long, that it seems solid. Have you had enough? The only way out is to get fierce, to kick and stomp, to transform the force of your frustration into the break free motion of rebellion!

Thought For The Day - Asking for Help

Asking for help can be an opening. If you know how good it feels to wholeheartedly help another, and the value of that connection, why would you deny another the opportunity of helping you?

Friday, August 15, 2008

Thought For The Day - Stagnation

When you feel stuck, know that you are like a murky pool of water. Pools are created by larger forces of water such as downpours, high tide oceans and raging streams. Similarly, your soul is only temporarily disconnected from it's powerful source. You are part of the Universal Soul. Envision your connection and allow it to move through you, to rinse clear and rejuvenate your soul.

Thought For The Day - Zest

There are times when our human personality loses some of our soul's zest for living. To counter the "drag" that our situations and fears may create, tap into the life force energy at the center of the planet. As you imagine that molten power coming up through the ground, into your legs, up into your solar plexus, remember that this source of energy is available whenever your "batteries" need charging.

Thought For The Day - Rewards

Every time you do the right thing, instead of the easy thing, the Universe rewards you. This includes maintaining positive thoughts in the midst of fear, being strong in challenging situations, or putting your immediate gratification aside in the interest of something more important.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Thought For The Day - Amazement

What is beyond belief in the eyes of your human personality and frame of reference is a "normal" occurrence from the perspective and wisdom of your soul. When you wonder... ask yourself, "What does my soul essence think of this?"

Monday, August 11, 2008

Thought For The Day - Hope

Hope is Having Optimism Preceding Evidence. How do you have "hope" when you don't know for sure what will happen? The ability to maintain your vision of how things could be, in a positive way, requires that you first avoid the temptation to focus on what could go wrong.

Thought For The Day - What's Hidden

It's easy to lose sight of the good when so much "bad" news is all around us. Know that there are marvelous things in the works for you, even if you are not yet aware of them. Magic remains hidden until just the right time.

Saturday, August 9, 2008

Thought For The Day - Despair

When we lose hope, when we have no wind in our sails, what is at the core is a sense of separation. A sense that we are disconnected from the flow of life and stuck doing things the hard way... all alone. Take a moment to recognize and acknowledge your connection to Spirit. Imagine it as an endless source of "wind" that you only need to turn your sail towards to feel a burst of support.

Thought For The Day - Processing Time

When things come at us too fast and we don't get a chance to experience their value or discard them as irrelevant, our minds become as cluttered and unworkable as a room full of unread newspapers.

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Thought For The Day - Practice

If something does not come naturally, we need to practice - doing something over and over, even though we aren't that good at it yet. What is it you would like to become better at? Communication, tolerance, understanding, self-discipline? Just about everything we need to become more fulfilled human beings takes practice.

Thought For The Day - Arrival

When you finally reach your destination, are you able to relish in it? Or do you immediately look to the next achievement, the next interaction, the next thing to be done? Take some time to BE where you have arrived, before you lose the joy of your accomplishment to your habit of moving forward.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Thought For The Day - Trouble

Sometimes things have to get a lot worse before they can get better. Trouble is not always a "bad" thing, but a signal that something needs adjusting, in our personal lives or global situations. Trouble is the foghorn that warns us not to crash into the rocks.

Monday, August 4, 2008

Thought For The Day - Impatience

Impatience is not so much a desire to have something else now as it is a need to escape your current situation. Pay attention to why you are uncomfortable and you will reduce the urgency you feel as you work towards the better thing.

Sunday, August 3, 2008

Thought For The Day - Tradition

Belonging and acceptance are human needs that motivate us to form traditions. As children, we are not naturally inclined to risk rejection or abandonment in the interest of doing things a new way. We resist change. So as adults, it takes a conscious effort, a constant evaluation of our motives to make sure that our fear is not keeping us stuck in ways that no longer serve us.

Thought For The Day - The Surface

Before you decide you know what is going on, look beneath the surface. Before you assume you understand what another person is saying, or why, look beneath the surface to what their perspective may be. What have they perceived? What are they motivated by? There is more going on that what you see.

Friday, August 1, 2008

Thought For The Day - Persistence

What does it mean to be persistent? It involves the ability to maintain a vision and a clear direction of your goal, even though there are images and influences in opposition. Even though it may be easier to go with the flow or adapt to the common status quo, persistence is the ability to walk over and through the muck (instead of looking down and getting stuck in it) to get where you know you need to be.
