There is never a time when you are not. Are you present? Are you aware of what is going on within you? Is it the same as what is going on without? Are you in anyway responsible?
Forgive yourself . . . ! Encourage yourself . . . .
Remember, if you move on; you are here. Romans 12:2

I once heard that a man's fastest thought is a woman slowest. There is a plea for honesty if I ever heard one. However the point here is one that we might all agree on; that is that ' thoughts are things.'
In fact, so much so that it seems that few people consider the consequences of thinking. Have you ever considered that your experiences are the results of your thinking. Can it really be true, when you stop and think about it; that you are responsible for what you are experencing ?
Furthermore can it be also true that we orchestrate things to the point of drawing the players to the roles that individuals are acting out in our lives? Is it possible that we created it all ourselves.
I wonder, have you ever asked the question, "why doesn't God do somethings about this or that ? Indeed, I agree; why don't you God. You who say, or at least allow to be said of you; are made in God's image, after God's likeness.
Why don't you God, determine what your world will look like ?
Believe it or not; when you give the following some thought, you have to stop and evaluate:
1. Proverbs 6:2 - Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
2. Proverbs 18:21 - Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
3. John 10:34 - Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods . . . . That law being, Psalms 82:6, which says: I have said, Ye are gods; and all of youare children of the most High.
There is more that attest to our 'high resposible position' of course. Like I John 3:1-3, and Genesis 1:26. You may have references yourselves. Nevertheless, the conclusive truth remains; " you, I, each alone are responsible."
NOW, what are we going to do about it ? I suggest that we learn to use our mind and save our behind.
Just image . . . all we have to do is deliberately, consciously, intentionally, and attentively think; consistently, and constructively.
After all, since you bring about what you think about; shouldn't you ?

In Phillipians 4 vs 8, "Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,
if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these
things.."
All the things that bring us joy are truly free. The characteristics to develop
nobility, justice, purity, beauty and graciousness are all free and learned from
hard lessons of experience. Hence, happiness is free. How can anyone put
a monetary value on love, on joy, and on kindness? It is impossible to think
of trying to categorize true acts of the spirit, which stem from the deepest core
of one's heart...Love...feeling the happiness of others and the sorrows of others,
we share in the One spirit of life, and therefore...are compassionate to ourselves
and for others. True happiness comes from within, and are derived from simple
pleasures of life. Watching a sunset and feeling the awe of the mystery of God,
or sharing in the joy of another's triumph...There is no greater force than love.
True love transforms everything and everyone it touches..and it is given by
the simplicity of one's being one's self...natural and pure, lovely and whole...
Happiness is free...what can you offer today to add to the beauty and
healing of this world?

When we are faced with inner challenges, the way out is always within. We must
be willing to understand and transcend patterns, ideas and eroneous beliefs
we have carried that no longer serve expanding awareness. Today, go within.
Ask yourself, "Am I open to learn new ways of perceiving my world?" Do I still
hold negative or judgemental thoughts about myself and others? The way of
mastery is to begin to examine oneself, work on releasing painful patterns
and thinking, and move into the true beauty of my whole self. This means
I take accountability for my thoughts and actions and aim to become the
love I was created to be.

Ralph Waldo Emerson has said, "to be great is to be a non-conformist." Today,
make a committment to think your own thoughts, not from conditioned mind,
not from what society dictates, but from your experience and what truth
resonates in your own heart. Explore unlimited options within and expand
your perspective, knowing that the Universe provides to you what you focus
upon. Stretch beyond mediocrity, watch the stars, feeling the grand mystery
of God, and know anything and all things are possible.

Mary Oliver states, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one and wild,
precious life?" Never hold back on your creative flow, talents and ideas.
Always remember, that anyone who has been a visionary never conforms
to the norm...grasp beyond the average and you obtain the ideal, in you,
in your abilities, and in what you can offer this world....anyone great has
always been on the periphery of human thought and have always been
thinking higher into what humanity can become...
Belief, dream, create....and start with yourself...begin now what you will
and can do witth your wondrous wild life...begin now!
