how to live in true gratitude

There is no greater manifestation or expression of Gratitude than to use to the utmost whatever you possess.

Gratitude is about positively taking responsibility for making the most of yourself; it’s all about maximizing yourself.

Sadly, people very often associate Gratitude with Humility, which is in fact the opposite idea of “humbling oneself” – a directive to minimize yourself.

Remember, true Gratitude is not just an emotion, it is an attitude of boldly making the most of what you are and what you’ve got!

Live well.

how powerful is the past?

As individuals, our past truly has no power over our future.

In fact, our past has no power over our present either, save that which we all too often assign it through basing our expectations on it.

Remember: Expectation drives manifestation.

 

a simple truth about the truth

Fact is, there aren’t all that many people out there who are comfortable with the truth.

Few actively seek it, and fewer still are pleased when it reveals itself to them.

So it would seem that all truth is pretty much inconvenient, eh?

Alas……

how to take responsibility for yourself

“Take responsibility for yourself!”

Sage advice, but many people wonder “How?” Well, it’s really about accepting that you do indeed have the power to choose.

We all want the freedom to make our own choices, but sometimes we find ourselves doubting that we really have the power to do so, and we end up avoiding the opportunity.

So here is a tip: on any occasion that you see yourself not making a choice, do yourself a favour and remind yourself that it is not because you “cannot” choose – it is because you are refusing to make a choice.

Remember: Whenever we get stuck like this we are inclined to feel frustrated and lament “Why can’t I choose!?” This is useless. Instead, move forward through your stress by answering the question you should be asking yourself: “Why won’t I choose!?”

Following through on your answer is a big part of taking personal responsibility – and enjoying all the choices you get to make when you do!

 

harness the awesome power in choice

Feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of making some Big Choices? Here is something you can try today to take some of the discomfort out of the process:

First, recognize just how many little choices you already make in an hour, in a day.

Then work on focusing your attention on making as many of these little choices as possible with positive & expansive thoughts in mind (rather than fear-based autopilot feelings).

Simple, but surprisingly effective. Give it a try!
