Your belief system contains your own  affirming, thought  patterns. These patterns may or may not be life-affirming. They may not be patterns that will result in a happy and full existence. If your belief system (or the conclusions you have come to are based on the thoughts you choose to ponder) is positive or life-affirming then the result will be a happy one. If on the other hand your belief system is filled with negativity, directive thought patterns, when fed to the brain will open the door to illness.  This thought pattern will ultimately result in an  attack of  disease  which causes great harm to the functions of the body. Destructive thought patterns can also cause obstacles in your path like an inability to function, to learn or to grow into maturity.  Things that spill out of your mouth most often come directly from your belief system. If a negative affirmation flows from your lips, take an active approach and change it immediatel...

Within your own being you have been given all of the tools necessary to master your life.  This is both God's  gift and promise.  Along with these spiritual tools you have also been given something called 'free will'.  The freedom to make your own life choices makes you responsible for your own life and it's outcome.  The spiritual tools are yours to use at any time but how and when you use them is completely up to you.  There are two important questions that come immediately to mind.  What is in my 'Spiritual Toolbox'?  How do I use my 'spiritual tools'?  In your Spiritual Toolbox you will find what is necessary to learn how to forgive and let go, how to be loved, loving and lovable, how to express God qualities toward others or sacred service and the true value of both giving and receiving.  The first step in using the tools in your Spiritual Toolbox is to live a life of gratitude.  Appreciate the God qualities in yoursel...

The big question is, "How, how do I turn myself around.?" Here is a very excellent article I found that is very helpful.  Please check it out. The Habit Change Cheatsheet : 29 Ways to Successfully Ingrain a Behavior This is from the article, "The simple steps of habit change : 1. Write down your plan . 2. Identify your triggers and replacement habits . 3. Focus on doing the replacement habits every single time the triggers happen, for about 30 days." Everything I found on the Internet seems to agree with these three steps so there must be merit in this.  Breaking strongholds in your life is not an easy task.  First you need to make up your mind that you want to make the effort to break the habit.  It is all about choice after all.  Habits are comfortable repeated actions that we consider our norm.  We all create habits, either good or bad.  Its the bad ones that should get attention if we really want things to change.  Einstein says th...

Ever feel like the walls are closing in on you?  Ever get in a place in your life where you feel trapped by your situation?  After taking this thought into meditation, this is the answer I was given.  It really helps me.  See what you think. In the meditation I asked what to do to get out of a situation where I felt trapped.  This is the image I saw.  In the image there was a room and the walls were slowly closing in on all sides making the space of the room smaller and smaller.  Panic set in.  A feeling of desperation took over.  I thought, I must escape before I am consumed by the room!  Problems, bad habits, bills flooding in, insurmountable amounts of work that need to be done or any number of things that happen in life can make you feel like this guy.  Everyone knows the saying, "God does not give you more than you can handle!"  Okay, so how does one escape from the things that would entrap you in life? In ...

  Blessings are all around  you.  The trick is to be able to or take the time to recognize them.  Seeing life as a vessel filled with unlimited blessings puts your thoughts into a higher place where it is much easier to recognize and acknowledge the many blessings that come your way each and every day. "God has infinite resources with which to bless mankind." (By Mary Baker Eddy)  The more you talk about your blessings the more your mind and heart are filled with gratitude.  The more this happens the more blessings you attract to your life.   It is said that happiness is illusive.  Actually, it is not but it seems to be that way because it is not something you can force.  Happiness is defined as a state of well-being and contentment. It is more of a realization than an action.  Just take a moment to reflect on your blessings and see if happiness doesn't sweep over you.   Blessings are not something that you ...
