Thought For The Day - Unpredicable Changes

When we feel thrown off balance by the unpredictable changes around us, the natural tendency is to hang on tight. Our human fears can restrict us even when it is more powerful to be flexible and active. Release yourself to your soul's adventure and start dancing on the marbles!

Thought For The Day - Avoidance

Our natural human tendency to avoid what is uncomfortable is a diversion from the true movement of our soul. Rather than dodge an issue, a feeling, a person, a challenging situation, reach out and grab it - even if it makes you uncomfortable. Like grabbing a giant soap bubble, once you embrace it, it dissipates. It no longer exists. You can move on.

Thought For The Day - Don't Skip Anger

If you skip the anger part of the grief process and go too quickly to forgiveness, you do not really come out clean. Like stepping in dog doo, but not wanting to deal with it, you may hope it'll just come off as you go, but no matter what you walk through, it doesn't really come clean. Not until you stop and forcefully hose it out of the little crevices in your soul!

Thought For the Day - Approval

No one was ever inspired to grow or change by being criticized. If you want to help someone embrace a change, try letting them know first the things they are doing right. With words of approval, even if you can only commend them for their desire or intention to do the right thing, you give them encouragement and permission to be open, to be even better.

Thought For The Day - Returning

Sometimes our awareness or focus gets pulled in a direction other than what we would like to see happen in our lives, away from what we think we need to be doing or want to create. Then, there is an opportunity to attend to the thing that is holding us back, like having to stop walking to take the pebble out of our shoe. If we embrace what we have been "called away" to do, then when we return, we are stronger, clearer and more successful.

Thought For The Day - Cosmic Connection

When you feel like you are struggling alone "down here" on Earth, trying to make things happen without a whole lot of success, it is because your awareness is focused mostly on your human self. Picture the essence of your soul, like a mass of energy inside of you, expanding outward and upward, until that invisible self reaches far into the cosmos. Feel the sensation of uniting with a pulse, a life-force surging back to you. You are now connected to a never-ending source of "juice" - the energy you need to do your life. Breathe it in!

Thought For The Day - Truth

What is true for one person may be different from the reality that another sees. The key is not to try and discern absolute truth, but to find understanding of the various perspectives and look for honesty.

Thought For The Day - Flexibility

Focus and determination are essential assets to achieving goals, but without flexibility - the ability to have appropriate reflexes when something changes - our thinking and actions start to move in rigid opposition to the natural flow and direction of the universe.

Thought For The Day - Strength

It takes strength of character to maintain the focus of your vision even in the face of criticism from others. It takes even greater strength to change your position when you realize you are wrong.

Thought For The Day - Troubles

Whatever your troubles are that seem to be right in your face, there is another way to view them. If you look at things from the long-term soul perspective instead of the human drama, you may see a different way to approach the issue, a more worthy solution, a more graceful way of accepting things. Trouble, to the soul, is simply the unraveling that comes before the new tapestry can be woven.
