The Secret of Happiness

The Secret of Happiness The secret of happiness is to be free of fear. Fear is like a toxin that runs through much of our thinking. It feeds on insecurity, feeling of loss, loneliness, inadequacy and attachment. You are loveable and loving. Accept this as Truth.  Appreciate and care for yourself - truly, deeply, intensely, in a way that reflects your real value. Then you will automatically have the same regards for all other living beings and things.

Lost and Found

---

Lost and Found Being lost in thought, thinking about things to do, what's been done, what could have been done... Is not only tiring but also a brilliant way to waste energy. It diminishes your peacefulness and clouds your clarity. Every time you become lost in thought it means exactly that  - you are lost! To find yourself, allow your mind to become quiet, to become utterly tranquil. In the quiet depths of every being, there is a stillness that contains a deep inner peace and wisdom that can guide you in your life.

 

Envy Into Inspiration

---

Envy serves no positive purpose

 

So when you start to feel envious, choose .

instead to transform that envy into inspiration.

The good fortune of others does not prevent

 you from enjoying your own good fortune.

In fact, the success of another serves to

show you how the same level of success

can be brought about in your own life.

Instead of being resentful when you see

progress and achievement, be thankful.

Then allow what you see to inspire a

similar level of achievement within yourself.

Delight in the good fortune of others and you put

yourself in position to share that good fortune.

The more you celebrate life's abundance,

 the more solidly you connect to that abundance.

Has someone else accomplished or attained

something that you would dearly love to have?

Allow yourself to be inspired by it.

Let that inspiration sink deeply into you,

so that it has a place within you where

 it will always be.

Then take that inspiration and put it

 into real, positive, effective action.

  

Let it Begin With You

Let it Begin With You

Today, be in peace. 
Take a moment to fill yourself with peace
And to know the truth:  it all begins with you.

Be the light that shines out for the world.
 Be the beacon of hope and love, joy and wonder. 
Be the bright glow in the life of everyone you touch this year
 And know that your glow ignites them and that they then ignite others. 

And this wondrous glow of love and joy can spread rapidly,
Person to person, reaching around the globe, filling hearts
 With love and lives with laughter.  And it all begins with you.

Take a deep breath and fill yourself with love and light. 
See your own light glowing inside and then spreading out.
  And now lift yourself up, up and up, until you see that
You are a star in the night sky, shining down on the world,
 Your love and your light blessing all below. 

You are this light, this shining star of hope and joy for millions.
 Allow yourself to be this.  Allow yourself to step into
 Your full power to be the peace that the world yearns for. 

Let it begin within you and fill every word, every gesture,
 Every touch, everything you do today and in the coming year,
 In the coming lifetime. 
Let it begin with you.
