Purpose and Meaning

What are you here for?
What do you want to do?
Are you living a meaningless life?
Do you desire something more?

Are you happy everyday?
Do you go to bed feeling blessing?
Are you willing to value what you do?
Do you appreciate what you have?

When we are miserable with our lives, we seek and find more misery.
When we are living with regret and fear, we attract more to fear and regret.
When we are allowing the problems to get us down, we live in a world of problems.
When we are consumed with others’ needs and issues, we drown in the enormity of needs.

First save yourself.
A drowning or dying person have no help for others.
Bring yourself to a place of fullness.
An empty vessel has no resources from which to give.
Dare to value what you do.
When we know our own worth, we are confident in our giving.
Take time to listen within.
When we can trust our own heart, we can serve wholeheartedly.
Be patient with the healing changes.
Most resistance can be overcome with quiet patience and trust.
Look for what works.
Easily and quickly let go of what no longer serves with your blessing.
Support those who are doing The Work.
What you perceive and receive from others, you strengthen in yourself.
Give your life to Love.
Do what you love and Love what you do.
Be willing to be happy.
Those who have found a way to serve are the happiest and most content.
Be open-minded and grateful.
Seek and find moments, people and circumstances to appreciate.
Develop an attitude of gratitude.
Make it a habit to look for the Good and the Good will grow for everyone.

Life is a creation from our imagination, thoughts, words, activities, appreciation, inspiration and all we are.
When we forgive and release the clouds, confusion, doubts, miscommunication and focus on what wrong, we give up recreating the misery and choose again for sanity, beauty, goodness and love.
This year, this day, this moment is your time and mine to choose again.
Let’s make this year the realization of unlimited possibility and create the life we really want.

Loving you in loving you.
When you love you, you are loving us all.
