Appreciate!

APPRECIATE WHAT YOU VALUE!

YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH MORE!


Affirmations:

I value what is good for us all.

I appreciate what I have to give and share.

I live my life with joy and gratitude.

I enjoy the beauty around me and within me.


Time to Give Thanks!


When we don’t know what to do, give thanks.

When we are not happy, be grateful.

When we are feeling sorry for ourselves, appreciate.

When thinking you are alone, value what is.


People think of celebrating when everything seems right and good.

Most complain when they judge they have less than they desire..

Many focus on what is missing and don’t even see what they have.

While we compare our losses, how many are feeling blessed for what remains?


The good we appreciate today will be even better tomorrow. 

When we complain about lack, we highlight and increase our lack.

I am sorry for the loss, and I give thanks for what is gained in learning.

I am always grateful for what has been received and shared.


In metaphysics, there is an understanding that what we appreciate increases.

There is the knowledge that where we focus, we encourage and expand.

 Our attention gives value to where we focus, and our focused energy increases.

Therefore, it is essential that we learn to focus on the Good to have more Good.


With all the changes in environment, economy and family life, we must find gratitude.

When our world, nation and communities are ever-changing, we can learn to increase the Good

When we allow our attention to attend to what is insufficient, we keep seeing and believing in the negative.

Our focus must turn toward creative solutions and positive outcomes.


What can I do?

What can we do?

How are we valuing what is beneficial?

Where are we contributing to what is improving?


Begin by simply learning to say “Thanks!”

In prayer, we can say, ”Thank you God.”

In praise, we can be pleased with each new day.

In healing, we can smile on one another.


Give thanks for the home you live in and the bed you sleep on.

Give gratitude for the choices you are making to help and serve.

Be appreciative of the food you eat and how it grew.

Be aware of the value of life, liberty and the pursuit in happiness.


You are alive and able to choose.

Be aware of how you can contribute.

We are able to smile on one another.

Our world receives our presence to do good.


This is our opportunity to turn around our mind, body and spirit to value what we have created.

Let go with your blessings of what no longer deserves your attention and intention.

Serve yourself and others by giving thanks for what inspires and enlightens you today.

Give your best and receive your own blessings of appreciation.


I value you,

Be Good

YOU ARE GOOD.

LOVE IS WHO YOU ARE.

BE GOOD AND FEEL GOOD.


These Affirmations Are For You!

Love is my natural state.

Joy and peace are my natural state.

I forgive myself for forgetting and neglecting to choose only Good.

Goodness is the way I am born to be naturally.


Being Good


What does being good mean for you?

Be good to feel good.

Be good to receive good.

Be good to experience the good in you and all.


It seems like many have never known what it is to be good.

Contribute the best in you and you are being good.

If you don’t know what is good, you can ask.

“What will be good for you?”


We can never assume what is good for another.

We can only feel the good within ourselves.

Consider what gives you peace and happiness.

Experiment with giving the best you know.


Notice the joy and delight in you.

Notice feeling inspired and alive.

Notice how what you give comes back.

Notice how goodness inspires more good.


Our thoughts must be good.

Our words must be good.

Our behavior must be good.

To know this is to believe in good.


Ethical behavior is good.

Doing what is right is good.

Blessings are good.

Living in integrity is good.


It is natural to be good.

It is helpful to be good.

It teaches everyone to be good.

It lifts up others to be good.


Take time to consider what is the good you are called to do everyday.

You will feel good when your thoughts, words and behavior are good.

You will feel ashamed or guilty when you are off purpose.

It is time to consider your heart and your conscience to be good.


When we stop caring, we can not give goodness.

When we are numb in addiction, we do not feel good.

When we  are unkind or doing harm, we are not good.

When you have forgotten how to be good, seek examples of goodness.


We are the ones to return “being good”as the natural way of living, loving and giving. 

Loving you with all the Good within me.

Peace Begins With You

STOP IGNORANCE.

BE RESPECTFUL.

LIVE IN PEACE.


Full Moon Wednesday, 8/30 at 6:36PM PDT


Affirmations:

Today is the first day of my life.

Today I will give my best to everyone I meet.

Today I choose to forgive my fear and reach out with peace.

Today, I will follow the high way and bring peace to all.


Peace Begins With You


Peace begins with you.

Love begins with you.

Healing begins with you.

Kindness begins with you.


Why does it begin with you?

Because you are the most conscious one.

Because you are the most willing one.

Because you are the most able to do the right thing!


It is childish to wait to be forced to stop fighting.

It is immature to want the other one to go first.

We are here to make a difference in our world.

You and I can make the difference in our homes and work places.


To control our emotions is essential.

Being out of control is lazy .

We can practice the art of reason and diplomacy.

We can stop acting like a two year old.


Peace begins with peace of mind.

When our mind stops running the show, our emotions will be in check.

When we suspend the mental and emotional authority to do whatever, we will act differently.

When we stop allowing ourselves to think, speak and act crazy, we will behave sanely.


It is time to think with reason and creativity.

Even children can be taught and shown how to reason.

People in great distress can learn how to breathe deeply and behave rationally.

Our planet does not need to implode with war and hatred, disease and despair.


We are in a time of needed humanitarian efforts with no blame or condemnation.

When we listen to our heart/mind, we know that fear begets fear, and hate begets hate.

You and I can be the healers with one interaction at a time.

Treat everyone with respect and dignity.


All ages deserve respect and dignity.

All colors, races, religions deserve our best.

We can only unite to be helpful to one another, when we see things differently.

We must start by behaving with genuine kindness and respect for everyone.  


Trust we all can learn together.

Let us begin today.

Respecting us all, 

Betty Lue

BE LOVING!

I trust my inner guidance to show me the way to be most helpful.

When there are harmful thoughts, stop yourself and change your mind.

When there are harmful behaviors, stop and leave the situation.


Make a commitment to stop doing harm to yourself and others.

Make a decision to stop hurting with your words, behavior or thoughts.

When you do harm, you attract harm.

When you behave in hurtful ways, you are doing harm.


This world was changed and deranged by fearful humans.

People hurt, threaten, bully and fight to get their own way.

War and hatred, killing and abusing, are justified to win.

People have not understood that there is enough for all.


You can begin today to stop hurtful ways.

You can change your behavior when you decide.


Stop today allowing anyone or anything to hurt you.

Adolescents must be shown how to do no harm.

Adults must learn to stop doing harm.

Peoples must learn there is a better way.


Yes, talking with civility takes longer.

Working together in cooperation takes longer.

Giving and sharing with one another takes longer.

But resolving the inequities is worth it to stop fighting.


We are smart enough to know the costs.

We are wise enough to know we must stop.

We are good enough to seek what will work.

Together we can find a better way.


What will it take to be kind to your neighbor?

What can you do to forgive your ancestors?

What are you willing to change to make peace?

What can you do to forgive and undo the past?


Do Unto Others As You Want Them To Do Unto You.

You can because you want to.

You can because you choose to.

You can because you are SAFE.


I am loving you, 

Betty Lue
