Wherever we are going or whatever we are doing, when we show up to be an active participant, the world opens up to us. Then, when we intentionally show up to give without expectations or judgments, the world works in our favor. It’s not luck. It’s not strategic. It’s not our influence. It’s just authentic giving without the need for taking.
Let us show up to give today. The essence of calmness is knowing when and what to overlook, then pivoting accordingly.
Only we know if the situation can or should be dismissed. If it can, we take the high road when we overlook it rather than argue to be right. Then it's easier to move on. Combining overlooking with pivoting, we take the energy headed in one direction and redirect it into another. Usually, all turns out for the best in the end, and we remain calm and in control. Let us use the energy bundled in chaos and channel it towards calmness today. What if all we need to do is press an internal button and we become motivated, inspired, and ready to tackle any challenge that comes our way?
What is that button? Is that button associated with the people we hang out with, our work, things that happen at a certain time of day, or whatever we do to have fun? It could be a lot of different things. The trick is knowing what that button is. What inspires us is the highest art of the day. Let us press our button and kick into high gear when we need it most today. There’s nothing greater than being around others that see our value and remind us of it. It makes us feel even more valuable. And we don’t need to waste our time proving or convincing them of our value.
When the value is unequal, there’s an unbalance. Then, trust is lower, and the relationship feels heavy with less energy. Why not give higher priority to those we value, or spend more time finding the value in others so that it’s more in balance? Let us remind those we value feel like a big deal today. Intensity is the price of visibility. The more visible we are, the more mental strength we require.
How we direct our mental strength during intense situations determines how successful we are when performing under pressure, managing stress, and dealing with unexpected conditions. When intensity contributes to our positive levels of energy, it creates momentum. Sometimes that’s all we need to lift us up and propel us forward. Let us use our intensity in harmony with our immensity today. There are a lot of things in life to love … family, friends, hobbies, work, pets…. But one of the greatest loves is to be in love with our own life.
When we love our life, our life loves us back to the degree we love it. Loving our life is a lifestyle – where everything is in flow and is play – no matter what we are doing. Loving life is a way of cherishing every moment and inspiring zest for life wherever we go and in whatever we do. Let us love the life we live and live the life we love today. We are our best personal therapist. We know ourselves. If we dig deep enough and allow ourselves to settle into a peaceful state of mind, we can pinpoint what sucks the energy out of us. We know what inspires us and makes us feel better.
The problem is sometimes we don’t take time to do what we know we need to do. If we don’t pay attention to our mental state, we move into a slump then we aren’t as good as we need to be. Let us give ourselves a mental tune up and tune into ourselves today. What if in every person we encounter, we leave an impression of increase… increase their spirit, increase their value, increase their confidence, increase their light, so they shine brighter.
All it takes is setting an intention because our intention is everything. How we treat others says more about us than anything else. Let us rise by lifting others up today. Who are we? We are what we read, conversations we engage in, people we spend time with, people we love, the shows we watch, who we listen to, where we spend our time….. It’s everything that feeds our mind.
Our mind believes what we tell it. Why not feed it hope, pure thoughts, powerful ideas, creativity, everything good? What we feed our mind leads the way.. Let us take care of our beautiful mind first today. Life’s journey is a personal journey. It may be short. It may be smooth. It may be paved in advance for us, so the ride is easy.
At some point however, most of us hit a roadblock along the way. As long as we don’t fall in the crack or make a mountain out of a molehill, we find a way to keep going. We learn how to enjoy the ride no matter where our path takes us. One thing is for sure, the only journey is the one within. Let us steer ourselves in the right direction and own our journey today. |
