The Inner Journey
Getting Off the Roller Coaster
It matters not if you live in a castle or a one room flat. What is
essential is the understanding of Shelter and a place to be safe; a warm bed,
food to give you nourishment, some relief from concerns. In any situation
there is light, so by being willing to experience that light, you will find
that light. The more you see that light, the more the light will become a part
of you.
Acknowledge the good people you have in your life regardless of whether or
not they are a regular part of your circle of friends. See also the value in
acquaintances who you know have good things happening in their lives.
Gratitude is actually an affirmation because you are affirming your worth by
letting the quality of the gift settle in you peacefully.
MORE GRATITUDE:
The most important and fundamental aspects of life, are built upon
foundations of Simplicity. In our search for answers to bring us to Peace and
Truth, we must be ready to seek without the burden of complicated strategies
which might deny or overlook the naked and stark facts of our existence in
simple Love. In your stillness and Love is your Power, so through Gratitude,
give power to yourself through the simplicity of...
Acknowledging the good fortune of owning a car.
Acknowledging the influence of positive people in your Life
Acknowledging the presence of children in your Life
These are only a minute number of ways in which you can address the task of
bringing Peace within through Gratitude. In your own Life, you will find many
things can be applied to your situation.
As we tend to be so very aware of our misfortune, our Fortune seems to take
second place. It's strange how the Negatives get top priority in things that
matter, and I believe it stems from the tendency to complicate things from
fear based thinking. Very often, the good things we have in our life have a
natural association with simplicity, yet this goodness so often tends to get
the medal for Second best.
SO MUCH GOODNESS:
There are so many opportunities for the input of Good and Positive
qualities to come into your Life simply through Awareness. Any limitation you
associate with living is merely a mirror of your thinking. By defining what
you perceive to be restrictions to your life, you are in reality, specifying
the boundaries of your imagination.
You who are reading this book now; you might be a Pauper, a Prince or a
Princess. You could be anyone from any level in society; but whoever you are,
to acknowledge the good things you have that bring you comfort; to be grateful
for the things that you own or control, will go a long way in prolonging your
good fortune by understanding its value. To consciously acknowledge the good
things you have in your life is to increase their worth beyond measure. What
is a home can, become a castle. What is a brass vase, can become a golden
chalice. What is gentleness, can become strength. Those who are humble can
become great. Those who are great, can become great and wise.
CONTEMPLATION:
I give thanks for ...
Simple things that teach me how,
To value life, and live it NOW.
Time alone and time with friends.
Love to come, that will never end.
