Today's Thought
Welcome
It takes time to change and transform those old patterns of thinking.
Thoughts have great power,
they are like seeds you plant in your mind.
The more you hold onto a particular thought,
the more power you invest in it.
Positive thoughts give us energy and strength.
Negative thoughts rob us of power
and make us feel tired and strained.
We are by nature positive.
Negativity is the result of faulty thinking.
You can change if you want to.
You can't control other people,
situation or circumstances,
but you can control what is going on inside you.
Be patient with yourself. 
No matter where you are right now,
you can start over ~ today.
You have a choice to make.
You can choose to keep making the same decisions
and stay where you are,
or you can choose to start over,
and start making some changes
that will move you closer to your dreams.
It starts with a thought..... Today!
Today's Thought~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Power of TruthThe power of Truth is such that
you need never be concerned about proving it.
You need only be concerned with being it and living it.
Truth is always revealed,
at the right moment,
at the right place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wishing You A deep sense of self-worth, greater concentration and clarity 
"Positive thinking isn't the answer,
but it is the critical beginning to all positive action.”

Today's Thought
Feeling Great 
Feeling great is about putting our life in order,
rather than having a good time or feeling good at any cost.
It is about bringing our inner world into harmony,
developing the maturity to align our inner world of
thoughts, attitudes and feelings
with our outer world of
actions, words and relationships.
If there is confusion inside, there will be confusion outside.

Today's Thought
Let this new year be better than all the others.
Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do
but couldn't find the time.
Call up a forgotten friend.
Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories.
Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep.
Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger.
Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'.
Say it again.
They are the sweetest words in the world.~ Ann Landers ~ 
I will seek elegance rather than luxury, refinement rather than fashion.
I will seek to be worthy more than respectable, wealthy and not rich.
I will study hard, think quietly, talk gently, and act frankly.
I will listen to stars and birds, babies and sages, with an open heart.
I will bear all things cheerfully, do all things bravely,
await occasions and hurry never.
In a word I will let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up
through the common.
~ William Ellery Channing ~
There is no moment like the present.
The man who will not execute his resolutions
when they are fresh upon him
can have no hope from them afterwards:
they will be dissipated, lost, and perish
in the hurry and scurry of the world,
or sunk in the slough of indolence.~ Maria Edgeworth ~

Today's Thought
Lighten Up 
Some days start a bit heavy and lighten up as they go.
Other days go the other way.
But why depend on the day for the pattern?
Why not set the pattern yourself?
Why not decide tomorrow is going to be light and easy, bright and breezy?
And then when you awaken,
make sure your first thoughts are filled with..."YES"!
If you are not accustomed to
creating the atmosphere of your day in this way,
it may sound strange,
it may feel false or difficult to start with.
But if you persist, and determine to be light,
it will become the norm and not the exception.
Say YES now!
.......I didn't hear you!!!

Today's Thought
Dream
Most of us have forgotten how to dream.
We have exchanged our creativity for security.
The current state of the world is a wake up call
that brings us back to our dreams and hopes.
This is the time to realize that
beyond us there is another, unlimited, energy in action.
This energy will surpass our expectations, if only we trust.
The more we remember our dream,
the more we become alert for the coincidences and synchronicity
that will bring us in its direction.

Today's Thought
Simplicity and Royalty
There's great beauty in simplicity.
It's not plainness, however it is plain in the sense that
words and actions are enacted with great royalty,
full awareness and with so much significance.
Simplicity takes us away from artificialities,
it simply accepts and in that acceptance shows us
grace and humility in every circumstance.

Today's Thought
Take Time
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul.
Take time to think, it is the source of power.
Take time to read, it is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to love and be loved, it is a God-given privilege.
Take time to work, it is the price of success.

Today's Thought
“What does self-worth mean to you?
How do you define or assess it?
Is there a general measurement of worth that holds true for everyone?
Most probably, you’ve formed a conception of
what self-worth and self-esteem means for you.
Can you feel validated and valued?
Will you grant yourself that level of respect?”
If you don't know your worth and value,
don't expect someone else to calculate it for you.
A bar of iron costs $5, made into horseshoes its worth is $12,
made into needles its worth is $3500,
made into balance springs for watches, its worth is $300,000.
Your own value is determined also by what you are able to make of yourself.

DO SOMETHING GOOD...
SOMEWHERE FOR SOMEONE ELSE...
NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL YOU CAN DO...
BUT JUST DO IT...
There are so many simple ways by which
you can make a difference in your community.
Where ever you are,
whatever you do,
say 'I Was Here'.
Every year on August 19th, World Humanitarian Day recognizes those who face danger and adversity to help others. August 19th is the anniversary of the 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, which killed 22 people.
We honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice,
and we pay tribute to those who continue to help people around the world,
regardless of who they are and where they are.
Every day we see and hear images and stories of pain and suffering in our own neighborhoods and in countries far away. But we also find acts of kindness, great and small. World Humanitarian Day is a global celebration of people helping people.

Today's Thought
Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. ~ Author unknown ~

Today's Thought
Have you been fed today?
Has anyone told you that you are loved?
Has anyone made you feel appreciated
and let you know how special you are?
Has anyone assured you that you are exactly who you need to be?
And that in simply doing what you love to do, you are doing enough?
Has anyone reminded you that you didn't come here to prove anything?
You just came, to be YOU. Just you.
Because being you is enough.
You are one of a kind, a true original.
A masterpiece of incomparable value...
And without you, the world would be incomplete
like a puzzle missing a crucial piece.
And you are the only being in the universe who fill that final space.
Has anyone told you that regrets of yesterday belong to yesterday?
And that right now, in this profound moment of time, you are perfect.
As perfect as you were created to be.
Has anyone taken the time to let you know
that you are infinitely smarter
than you give yourself credit for being?
And a thousand times more capable of achieving your dreams
than you believe yourself to be?
Has anyone told you that you should never,
ever doubt your own worth?
Because even in those moments when you feel it the least,
you are still wonderfully made
and there is within every single cell of your being
enough power to light the world.
God placed it there the day you were born,
and every loving thought you think radiates forward,
brightening the world and making it a better place to be.
That's how powerful you are.
That's how loving you are.
So now, I ask again... have you been fed today?
Has anyone told you that you are truly loved?
If not, then won't you please let me be the one?
You are loved.
"There is more hunger for love and appreciation
in the world today than for bread." ~ Mother Teresa ~
