Manifest the Life You Want

"Your life is a book; make it a bestseller"
                                        Shannon Grey


If life is a book, what chapter are you on today?

If you don't like it, why not start afresh?

Today create a new chapter in your life and fill it with the experiences
YOU want, no-one else.

You cannot have someone else write a chapter in your life and then
complain about it to them.

You are the creator of your life.

You are the Author.

Don't give someone else the responsibility of creating your reality
when they cannot know what you want better than you do.

Only you truly know what makes you happy.

Stop deferring to others.

Live your life as you dreamed it and make it happen.

No-one else can write the book of your life, but you.

Start writing it today and make it count!

Create Your Own Luck

"Recast your problems into proactive goals"
                                                   Suze Orman


Everything that happens to you in your life can be used as a tool.

You can make the choice to use what happens as an opportunity
to further your progress in life,
or use it as an excuse to do nothing.

You create your own luck.

A problem can be used as a catalyst to catapult your life in the direction you want
if you learn from the situation.

The saying, "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" has a ring of truth to it.

You can use the anger, hurt or frustration to whatever happened to you in the past
to incite you to take action towards your goals.

What is it that you truly want from your life?

Make a list of the things that you HAVE to have in your life and make a decision to get them.

Take some form of action every day, even if it's just making one phone call,
do something
to point you in the direction you want to go.

Monitor your thoughts and feelings.

Your feelings are the biggest indicator of what you are attracting into your life right now.

You always have a choice.

You can dwell on your disappointments and challenges
or
you can focus on your abilities and desired outcomes.

Whatever emotions you decide will create your life,
not the circumstances that currently surround you.

Choose to be lucky and then go and create it.

It's all up to you.

Happiness is the Manifesting Magnet

"Try to be like the turtle -
at ease in your own shell"
                           Bill Copeland



To be truly happy and able to manifest what you want you have to be happy
with yourself.

If you aren't comfortable in your own skin and enjoy your own company,
how can you expect others to?

Time spent alone will allow you to focus on what you do want to please yourself
and not everyone else.

There are people who spend all day every day keeping so busy that they don't have a
moment to themselves.

They do this on purpose so as to not address the issues that are bothering them.

What do you need to address today?

You will have to be still and listen.

Clarity cannot be found amidst noise.

The truth will appear in the space that silence creates.

If you're not happy about something in your life, only you can fix it.

Whatever it is you're not happy with, you have the ability to change it.

You cannot and should not rely on others as a source of happiness.

When you are happy with yourself, no matter what outside circumstances are,
you are able to manifest more happiness.

When you are down and unhappy, you attract more of the same.

Law of Attraction will match your vibration, every time.

Positive emotions, laughter, joy, happiness are a magnet for the things you want.

Do whatever you can to increase your vibration and not only will you feel happier,
you'll manifest what you want that much sooner.

Don't worry, get happy!

Overcoming Tragedy & Loss

"Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom,
not a guide by which to live"
                                    Robert Kennedy


Today it has been 12 years since that fateful day where thousands of lives were lost in the
9/11 tragedy.

Thousands of families left behind were directly impacted by their loss and millions of us
grieved with them.

Every time I watch the footage I think of the people on those planes and in the towers.

What were they thinking?

Who did they call?

The calls that were made that day were to tell their loved ones how much they loved them.

They were not calling about work, or keeping a grudge, not forgiving someone,
or to clean the house.

They were all about LOVE.

I will never forget them.

Our lesson to learn today is that tragedy can strike at any time.

Why wait for that moment to happen before you tell someone you love them or forgive them?

The best honor we can bestow upon those who lost their life on 9/11 is to live our lives
to the fullest every day.

A tragedy is made even worse if we live in it.

We have to learn from it and move forward by vowing to be the best people we can be,
all the time, not just when disaster strikes.

The City of New York came together in an unprecedented way on that day.

The world came together and watched in disbelief and mourned and cried in horror
at the enormity of the tragedy.

Now it's back to business as usual.

What did we really learn from this?

If we learn nothing, and change nothing, their deaths were in vain.

Don't wait to be on that plane, metaphorically speaking, to make that call.

Make it today.

Make amends.

Make peace.

Nothing matters at the end of the day but how did you love?

It is not time that heals all wounds, it is love that heals.

If we love each other, this kind of tragedy can never happen again.

Faith...is the Key to Life

"Faith is taking the first step even when
 you don't see the whole staircase"
                               Martin Luther King Jr.


We all have to trust, in one form or another, at some point in our lives.

We have to trust that others will do the right thing.

Often times we are let down and disappointed when our trust is violated.

This is where faith steps in.

We have to keep the faith that everything is unfolding exactly as it should,
and for our highest good.

Sometimes there are lessons to be learned that we may not like while we are
experiencing them, but after the lesson is over and time has passed, we can then
see the value.

What or who do you need to have faith in today?

Yourself? Your boss? Your loved ones?

The most important person you have to trust is yourself.

Your gut, your intuition, will always guide you if you just listen.

It is not enough to just listen though, you have to act as well.

So, if your gut is telling you something today, LISTEN
and then do something about it.

Have faith that you will be able to deal with whatever it is telling you.

If you aren't ready to make a decision yet, listen more and trust that you
will act when the time is right.

Faith is having the belief in the unknown and the unseen.

Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

If you believe in a Higher Power, or in your Higher Self, you
will start to see evidence that there is a Divine timing to all things.

Have faith that what you need will arrive exactly when you need it
and not a minute sooner.

Things work out for our greatest good, they always do.

The toughest times in my life actually ended up being the best
in terms of character building and making me the person I am today.

For that I am forever grateful.

My faith got me through those times.

Faith that things would turn around for the better.

Faith in humanity.

Faith in myself.

Faith that I could not only survive but thrive after the storm cleared.

Even when you don't know what the future has in store for you, and
are fearful to move ahead, take the first step.

The rest will be revealed to you on the journey.

If you never take that first step you'll never know how great your life can be.

Free to Live the Life of Your Dreams

"A big part of financial freedom
is having your heart and mind free
from worry about the what-ifs of life"
                                 Suze Orman



If you weren't worrying about money today,
what would you be focusing on?

Whatever it is, go do it.

If you want to paint, paint.

If you want to write, write.

Of course, bills must be paid.

But if you focus on lack and worry,
the Law of Attraction will bring you more.

You have to focus on the things that make you happy
and they will raise your vibration.

Believe it or not, doing something you love will help
you attract that money you need faster than focusing
on how you are going to make that money.

When you make happiness your point of attraction,
you will see the things you want manifest into reality even faster.

Start affirming abundance and prosperity into your life.

"I am financially secure".

"I am supported abundantly today, and every day in my future"

"I am responsible for my own abundance and financial well being"

"I create my own world"

It is time for you to believe you DESERVE this abundance.

If you don't feel worthy, you can never attract it.

Affirm that you are worthy and feel deserving
and you will start to see abundance manifest in your life.

Go with the flow.

Visualize your financial blocks or debt
being successfully removed
and ALLOW financial flow to come to you.

Ask the Universe to send you unexpected money
from numerous sources, such as
an unexpected gift, a refund, a cancelled debt, etc.

Give thanks and recognize when it happens.

"I graciously accept good into my life now"

"I deserve this abundance and give thanks for receiving it"

Change your thoughts and emotions around money.

Money is not the be-all and end-all to life.

Money simply gives you the freedom to enjoy your life the way you want to.

You have the ability to manifest abundance or lack.

Which one will you choose today?

Keep Calm & Carry On

"You are the sky. Everything else - it's just the weather"
                                            Pema Chodron


There are times in our lives when we feel so stressed we can barely breathe.

We may find ourselves holding our breath or losing our temper more quickly than usual.

The question is, why do we allow ourselves to be consumed with stress?

Why do we react this way?

We live in a fast paced world.

Everything has to happen as quickly as possible, but for what?

Often when we race to do something mistakes are made and accidents happen.

What are you stressed about today?

The best thing you can do for yourself is to become calm and stay that way.

Be still and know that everything is evolving exactly as it should.

Running yourself ragged will help no-one and you'll probably end up with an even
bigger to-do list by the end of the day.

Start today by eliminating any unnecessary tasks from your list
and make sure the top of the list is
"TO RELAX & HAVE FUN!"

Being stressed all the time raises your level of cortisol, the stress hormone.

Your body will hold on to fat, especially around your middle, when you have excess
cortisol in your system.

So, if you want to lose that spare tire, lose the stress!

Nothing ever gets done in the eye of the hurricane.

It is in the calmness of the aftermath that we find peace
and revel in the gratitude for what we have.
