Is it possible that we have been so spoiled that we spend our energy complaining and asking for more?

I realize that there are so many unseen heroes, helpers and everyday workers we often forget.

I see our society getting into the mode of always whining for more rather than valuing what we have.

I wonder what would happen if we praised rather than criticized.

I am open to all of us shifting to believing and seeing, caring and sharing all the good we receive.

Our work for one another is an amazing gift of helpfulness.

With an appreciative attitude, even more gifts will be given.

With thankfulness, we will expand our capacity to give and receive.

With praise for our children, neighbors, servicemen and women, we will are enjoy helping.

There is an unlimited supply of Good within everyone of us.

If neglected, rejected or exploited, the supply may diminish.

If respected, praised and encouraged with inspiration the supply will expand exponentially.

Life is always recreating itself in a positive way when we value what we experience.

Perhaps it is time we take stock of our own ways of believing and seeing.

See the good and Goodness expands.

See with criticism and we cannot see or receive what is Good for us.

The habit of appreciating will grow Goodness in our selves and our families, our communities and nation.

Take a moment to breathe and appreciate what you have, seen and unseen.

Be someone who says and shows and acts with gratitude and respect to everyone.

Contribute to the greater Good by valuing the Goodness in others around you.

Frustration?

Affirmations:

I see what needs to be done and I just do it.

I no longer withhold my creative solutions and positive action.

I do what benefits the greater whole.

I trust myself to use my energy and emotions for all Good and only Good.

Frustration With What Seems To Be?

Are you upset with what seems to be happening in your life?

Do you want something other than what you have?

Are you angry about something or someone?

Do you wish situations were different than they seem to be?

Are relationships non-communicative or argumentative?

Are finances seemingly tight or just not working?

Do you have health issues or physical limitations?

Do you seem to have trouble getting yourself and/or others to get things done?

Anger is a cover-up for fear, grief, pain, judgment, jealousy, and other negative emotions.

Anger is an easy expressive release of unused energy.

Anger, frustration, irritation, impatience are all a build up of energy.

When angry for any reason, ask, “What Can I Do?”

It is easy to be frustrated, impatient, irritated and angry and is more difficult to know what to do!

When we withhold what we have to say, we may feel frustrated.

When we wait for someone else to act, we may be upset when they don’t do what we want.

When we are afraid to express or act, we may find ourselves holding back on our part.

When we withhold our energy, it will build up and may result in acting out in ineffective ways.

When we stop ourselves from doing what is ours to do, we may build resentment and anger.

When we claim impotence and make excuses for not expressing, we may feel guilty and blame others.

When step back to avoid conflict or confrontation, we may create conflict and hurt ourselves.

We need to see our emotions as a wakeup call inviting us to say or do something different.

We need to claim the right to express before a negative or toxic buildup occurs.

We need to write our what we want to clarify what is accurate and most effective.

We need to put out messages to ourselves and others about what we can do.

When we know and feel what we can do, we stop complaining.

When we give ourselves a list of productive action, we must begin with enthusiasm.

When we are love in action, we feel useful and effective.

When we put our energies to right use, we flow with what is next and next again.

Stifling ourselves with unnecessary waiting or complaints or blame leads to unhealthy resentment.

Opening our mind to our own willingness to do what we can do, leads to happy creative solutions.

Living our life on purpose is being willing to take full responsibility for the outcome.

Giving our energy to be used for positive and purposeful outcomes will change our emotional state.

In all circumstances of anger, irritation and frustration and impatience, ask what you can do.

When you know what you can do, just do it, immediately.

Use your energy for right and holy purposes that benefit everyone.

If you see something that needs to be done, it is yours to do.

Just Do It and Be Happy Doing It!

Stop Complaining and Blaming!

Do What Is Yours To Do!

True Prosperity

Affirmations:

Prosperity is a product of our thoughts, words and integrity.

I choose to give and receive all Good and only Good.

To have All, Give All to All.

True Enjoyment of our gifts comes from sharing them.

Use What You Have!

Use what you have for Good.

Use what you receive to give Good!

Use Who you are to be Good?

Goodness expands and benefits everyone.

When we use what we have for selfish purposes, we may have less.

When we use what is given to us without sharing with others, what is given may diminish.

When we neglect who we are and do not share with others, we may experience and enjoy less.

Our confidence and abundance increases with our value for having, using and sharing with others.

 

True prosperity comes not from accumulating wealth.

Abundance does not come from storing our riches.

Abundant living comes from living abundantly.

Our prosperity is directly related to utilizing and sharing everything we have.

When we store and save and hide what we have, it loses value.

When we do not enjoy the fruits of our labor, they often rot.

When we hide our treasures, they no longer shine with their beauty and worth.

To value is to care for, enjoy and contribute the best we have with others.

Appreciation increases value.

What we value expands with our appreciation.

We value with our attention, enjoyment and good use.

To increase what you value in your life, attend, enjoy and use it!

Value what you value.

Let go of what you don't value.

Stop wasting time, energy and money on what you do not value.

Pay attention only to what is important and purposeful to you.

If you want something give positive attention to having, using and enjoying it.

Whatever you attend to, you attract and increase in your life.

When you are focused on what you don’t have, you will increase your wanting!!

The very act of “wanting” is affirming not having it!

Potential, Power and Prosperity all are created within us with our thoughts and words.

When we put positive attention to our creations with appreciation, we create and attract more.

When we criticize, complain or express neediness, we find more to criticize, complain and need.

Everything we think and say and do creates more of what we think and say and do.

Enjoy Your Whole Life!

You Are Special!

People often forget their own specialness.

Not everyone notices their own value.

People seek other’s approval and appreciation.

Everyone needs to acknowledge their own worth!

When we can see what is good about ourselves, we are able to see the Good in others.

When we can appreciate the gifts in our own life, we will be aware of the gifts around us.

When we can realize the value in us, we understand the value in everyone as we are.

When we can live and give our own specialness to others, we awaken the specialness in others.

We are gifts to one another.

When the package is covered in wrapping paper, no one sees the gift.

When the treasure in each package is the form, we think the body and personality are the treasure.

When the gift is what we give and what we do for one another, we may miss the essence is Love.

Perhaps if we are looking for money and get a teddy bear, we feel not valued.

If we are looking for a teddy bear and get money, we don’t feel loved.

If we value a home-cooked meal and get a store bought cake, we may not feel happy.

If we value someone who listens to us, and get a noisy party, we may not feel valuable.

When we look for feeling special, we find people give in the ways they feel special.

People usually give to others what they want for themselves.

People cannot give more than they actually know within themselves.

We can show and tell others what we want, what we prefer, what feels good, and they may listen!

Being loved is special for many.

Being safe is special for others.

Being helped is special for some.

Bing treated with kindness and care is special for others.

It is time we learn to treat ourselves really well.

It is important we make ourselves happy.

It is essential we feel worthy of what is our natural good.

We are loved just for being Who We are.

When we look to others to get what we want, we may be disappointed.

When we give to others what we want, we are always fulfilled and at peace.

Life is for giving and we are the gifts to one another.

When we feel content with ourselves and our lives, we share with others our peace and happiness.

Thank you for being special in my life.

We are partners joined in love and giving with joy.

You are a gift to me.

And I thank YOU!

Disintegration often yields integration at a higher level.

Change may create chaos, so we can find a new level of order.

Losing everything may give a new perspective on what is truly valuable.

Everyday, we have opportunities to encourage others hopes, plans and dreams.

Within everyone there are stories of renewal of hope, faith and love.

We can remind ourselves of how empowered we are to turn judgment into forgiveness.

When we turn to where we are going rather than where we have been, we can see the way.

Every difficulty is a wakeup call.

Every hardship is a time for doing our best.

Every trauma is an opportunity to practice our faith.

Every hurt is an invitation for learning to forgive and heal.

Each time we have a setback, we can see it as a request to move forward.

Every time we lose hope and experience despair, we can get up and do something hopeful.
