What Inspires and Motivates You?

(Good Living Workshop tonight and Women’s Wisdom Circle tomorrow)  

Are you inspired by the sincere desire to improve yourself and your life?
Are you motivated by your potential Greatness and fulfilling your destiny?
Are you moved to make a difference in the world and give your best?
Are you encouraged by feeling profound love and gratitude for the Good you do?

Or are you depressed by what others have said about you?
Are you discouraged by how limited, little and lacking you feel?
Are you stuck in the rut of  how hopeless and helpless things seem?
Are you lacking the energy to make a real change?

Some folks are motivated by the possibilities in the future.
Some are moved by trying to avoid the fears of the past.
Some are inspired by making a better life for their children.
Some are encouraged by role models who have made amazing transformation.

When we compare, we may put ourselves down.
When we admire, we may lift ourselves up.
What we see in others, we strengthen in ourselves.
What we hate, fear and judge in others, we may avoid in ourselves.

Have you made a life you despise?
Have you judged you made your bed and now must suffer the consequences?
Have you made up that you are unworthy of anything better?
Have you crucified yourself with judgments and punishment?

You can clear it all with forgiveness, the spiritual eraser filled with Love.
You can undo what you don’t like and see what is really underneath.
You can heal what is temporary by understanding the world is temporary.
You can be the one to wipe your own slate clear and begin again.

You have creative power in you.
Your thoughts, images, words and activities create.
When you keep thinking, doing and saying the same stuff, you will continue creating the same stuff.
This is your moment to change it all.  (if you so choose!)

There is no time like the present to unwrap your potential, your Greatness, your opportunities.
There is no moment better than right now to forgive and erase the past and choose again a new future.
There is no one more important to help, heal, grow, teach and serve than the One living in You.
There is no better life than the One you can choose for yourSelf when you are happy and free to be.

So what will it be?
The same every day in the same every way?
Or are you willing to change it all?
Give up the complaining and comparing and have the Real Life you Want and Deserve?

Encouraging you by trusting you to choose for what you want to be what You Are,

“Our Deepest Fear” 
Our deepest fear
is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light,
not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
“Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented and fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that others won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some of us,
it is in everyone,
and as we let our own light shine
we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear
our presence automatically liberates others.
