Have A Good Opinion of Yourself
You carry yourself, the way you feel about yourself. So if you walk around thinking less of yourself, you'll act like less than you really are. Sending inner messages of defeat, unworthiness and being against yourself with self-pity, harsh judgment and holding on to errors of your past stunts your growth. Whats on the inside will eventually show up on the outside! If you will just change your opinion of yourself and start seeing yourself as the masterpiece you really are doors will open and the greatness meant for you will appear in your life. It's a must that you see yourself in a loving manner. What are you sending out about yourself? That's whats going to come back to you! Dwell on your good qualities and be thankful, the best gift you can give to yourself and the world is a positive you. Speaking bad of yourself pushes you down and weakens your spirit, when criticizing yourself, you're criticizing Gods creation. All God makes are masterpieces! So go out and be the masterpiece God created, have a good opinion of yourself, step out and start "Enjoying A Better You!" When you awake in the morning, look into the mirror and say something good about yourself. Stop being overly critical of yourself, "Mellow Into The Moment" and know you're a masterpiece that's beautiful. You're not perfect and may not be exactly where you want to be but you're doing fine, doing your best and on your way to a better place. Celebrate you and your accomplishments! Don't dwell on how far you have to go but celebrate your victories along the way. Don't dwell on and remember your deafeats, remember and build upon your victories and down play your defeats. Our faith becomes effective when we acknowldege the good in our lives. Be thankful for life, love and living. This awakens your faith and allows the divine spirit to work divine order. You can't be negative and expect something positive to happen in your life. You're worthy as a son or daughter of the most high and if you want to see doors open you've got to feel good about yourself and see yourself well. Think the best and grow forward! I think everyone loves me and wants to be my friend and that's better than thinking they hate me. I seek the positive in all circumstances and the negative has to leave, that's why I'm surrounded by love. When you awake each day look into the mirror and say, I'm strong, I'm creative, I'm positive, I'm a child of God, I love me some me, I'm on my way to having a wonderful day. Compliment yourself and send out a positive message it'll come back to you, acknowledge your greatness and watch the doors open. Have a good opinion of you! Believe In You!
We’ll never receive a more brutal beating than the one that we inflict upon ourselves. We make one mistake and we count ourselves out before we get started. He who says he can and can’t is always right! We beat ourselves down into a state of depression and don’t forgive ourselves and move forward. Dwelling in that shallow puddle of water and have misery for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But you must lift yourself up and move forward forgiving yourself for errors, change the behavior and remember when you do something bad, it doesn’t make you a bad person. It makes you a person exhibiting a bad behavior, so change the behavior and love yourself more. Have compassion, love and kindness for your being. This should be the starting point of your day and all that enters your day. Have you cried? Well if you cry about something today, don’t you cry a minute past midnight! Crying may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalms 30:5). Dry your eyes at midnight it’s over. Rise up, love yourself and put a smile on your face. It’s a new day and joy is here! Today get your bibles and read Psalms 30 completely and extol God for lifting you up each day to live and share the love which is your natural existence. Believe in you, trust in you, have faith in you! 1. Be open and honest with you about you! 2. Have faith your dreams will come true, move towards them and wait earnestly! 3. Don’t worry or become anxious, it blocks your connection with the divine spirit from which all blessings flow! 4. Discover the Authentic You by living in a state of conscious awareness and the truth! Open Your Heart and Mind to Awareness
As people in your life begin to know who you are, they’ll become comfortable with you. Knowing what to expect from you and what you expect from them. Awareness is a beautiful self loving thing you should be grateful for. It’s a starting point of growth and if you get a little off track, sit and ask the divine spirit to guide you. You’ll soon find yourself on track again growing onward and upward. So when your brain clicks and you see the light be thankful for awareness! You don’t need anyone to approve your thoughts, ideas or insights. Once you're aware you can never be a victim of what you know. Turn it over to the divine and enjoy the light that shines form your heart and mind! Being The Authentic You! To become your authentic self, you must begin by taking the time to get to know yourself. You must seek and gain the knowledge of understanding human nature. Take an awareness break; What can you change and what can you not change, your personality habits, learned behaviors, values, sense of fairness in society, needs, goals, beliefs, strengths, weaknesses and motives. You must merge these to form your own model of how you interact with people.
Understanding what guides you throughout your life, realizing your signature strengths, and the true stature of your being are extremely helpful on your journey to the authentic you. Apply those signature strengths toward your authentic goals. Becoming an authentic person by positioning your self-image, public-image and stature to flow naturally in a state of awareness. Gain the confidence to be compassionate, loving, honorable, respectful, forgiving, humble and content.
To understand the gap between who you are now and your authentic self, write a list of words that describe who you want to be and who you believe you can be. Concentrate on words that describe who you are, not what you do. Now write down a separate list of words that describe who you are now. How many words are the same on both lists? How many are different? How closely do the lists compare? What changes do you have to make?
You must ask yourself how much do you value relationships? Do you desire and are you willing to be your authentic yourself and have authentic relationships? Are you open to change, growth, being vulnerable and transparent to others? Unless you can answer yes to all three questions, it’s futile to hope for authentic relationships with others or yourself. Because you’ll always be hiding something!
Here are a some things I’ve observed in authentic people:
1. Authentic people are not afraid to be who they are, show who they are and share with you openly. There is no acting, posturing or deception. They feel no need to build themselves up to look better to you nor tear themselves down to look worse. They are secure in their being. They know their strengths and use them in a loving, honorable, respectful, kind and compassionate manner. They know their weaknesses and when they fall into them, they catch themselves and make changes not beating themselves up about it. They are, “keeping it real” but never have to say it!
2. We know when we’re in the presence of an authentic person because we feel relaxed and safe. We feel their attention and respect, we feel important and interesting because they listen. Authentic people make us feel that way because that is how they see us, and through their insight we in turn see ourselves. We see the promise of our own lives, infinite possibilities and boundless living capabilities through their enlightened vision. We trust their vision and know it’s possible because they make us see it. It’s a wonderful gift they give us and in turn we can share with others. But we can only give it if we’re authentic. Authentic people know nothing is more important than the present moment.
3. Authentic people are interested in others thoughts and feelings. They have learned that having an authentic relationship holds the key to joy and happiness. It’s effortless to them and they just flow without judgment. It is natural because they have developed this ability through wisdom and understanding. They no we all are one and see a part of themselves in others, which is part of the divine spirit.
4. Authentic people are approachable. It doesn’t matter what position they hold in society or what activity they are presently engaged in, you will always be treated in a honorable, respectful and loving manner. We know when we’re in their presence through their energy getting into us. Authentic people live day-by-day, in the moment, giving situations all the importance each one deserves.
5. Authentic people know their place in the world and fill it with joy. They may hold a position of power and influence or one of many humble means. It is not the occupation or position that distinguishes them, it’s their knowledge of and ability to know and be themselves, and have meaningful relationships with others. Authenticity does not happen overnight and not easily obtained. People are full of arrogance and selfishness, which cuts them off from their authentic selves. People are so wrapped up in their agendas, busy with their own lives and preoccupied with shallow things. We need to take more time to know ourselves, “Mellow Into The Moment” so you can start, “Enjoying A Better You!” Our concerns with ourselves and only ourselves can change with a little will and desire. If a deep authentic relationship is important to you, you must become authentic. Nothing is impossible and you can do it, just open up and take one step at a time towards positive growth, through knowledge and understanding of self. As time goes on you will become more authentic, you will enjoy deeper relationships, also better mental and physical health. It’s well worth it to explore ourselves and become authentic. Letting Go Takes self-Love!
Ladies if you’re waiting for a man to leave his wife/lover/girlfriend for you, “You’re wasting your time.” But for the heck of it, let’s say he does leave her, what makes you think he wont do the same to you he’s doing to her. That man lacks integrity and can’t keep a commitment. You’ll end up the fool and paying a serious mental, emotional and spiritual price! What is it about you that makes you settle for somebody that you know will cheat on you, will lie to you, will make a commitment and then break it? Are you lying to yourself? Saying he won’t do that to me! You better think again, because you’re lying to yourself again. What is it about you that you believe about yourself, that makes you willing to settle for that? Set a higher standard for yourself and love, honor and respect yourself more. Men and women, we should love ourselves enough to not allow another person to mentally, physically or emotionally abuse us. This is a total betrayal of ourselves! Women you shouldn’t be with a man that treats you bad! Men you shouldn’t be with a woman who treats you bad. I’ve always said, “love me or leave me alone, I’m fine either way! I’m a peaceful person and you’ll respect that or I’ll leave.” Ask yourself: Does he/she really make you happy and feel good about yourself? Be honest with yourself about the extent to which he/she is meeting your needs. Chances are you’re longing for the relationship you wish it could be and that you want to be in love with the person you wish he/she were. There are times when you break up with somebody and you start missing them and you start thinking about all the good things. But I assure you there were at least 10 reasons you broke up in the first place. Don’t lie to yourself about what it was really like, glorifying the past and minimizing the crap. Don’t wait around because you think he/she going to change. The best forecaster of future behavior is past behavior, so the odds that he/she is going to have this great metamorphosis and bring you all the joy you deserve is slim to none. Don’t put your life on hold. Every minute you spend standing in crap, is a minute that’s holding you back from “Enjoying A Better You!” Set some goals and start putting your life back together. Be clear with him/her! “You have to love yourself enough to say hell no, I wont stay in this place with you! Get out of my life, stay away from me and don’t call me anymore!” Change your number if you have too! Let go and learn to trust again by opening up and trusting yourself. How much you trust another person is a function of how much you trust yourself to be strong enough to deal with their imperfections. Have enough faith in yourself to be able to put yourself on the line with someone, without any guarantee of what will happen next. Don’t beat yourself up about past experiences, be aware, admit, accept, acknowledge your responsibility for what happened forgive yourself and the other person and move forward. But in order to do that you must get out of the bad place you’re in and let go. The love you desire and is meant for you is out there but you must be open to receive it. You must clear the crap from your life to make room for love to enter. All of us come into relationships with baggage, but you need to have closure on past experiences before starting a new relationship. Unless and until you’ve closed out the old you’ll never come into a new relationship with a fresh heart, mind and attitude.” You must heal yourself in order to be ready for a new relationship. Sometime you have to let go and make room for the beautiful blessing coming your way! Love yourself enough to let go! Don't Limit Your Thought's
You’re not what’s happening to you right now. You’re how you handle what’s happening to you right now! I’ve always felt you should leave a relationship or situation the same pleasant loving way you entered, never thinking less of yourself but learning from that interaction. We must extract positive information and relieve ourselves of the negative, allowing ourselves to grow forward. You’re the person traveling through your present surroundings; you’re not the surrounding itself. You can’t allow yourself to be limited to what you see before you, your potential is boundless so think beyond your present circumstance in a positive manner. Only things that matter, are the things you allow too! So give life to the boundless, limitless, unstoppable, loving, honorable, respectful, energetic force you are and know circumstances are temporary. You can’t get down on yourself; worry and anxiety blocks your connection to the divine spirit. You must have faith and keep moving forward, which strengthens your connection with the divine spirit and fuels your future, opening doors along the way. Never allow your identity to be determined by your present surroundings, circumstances or conditions. Think and live in the boundless arena which is you, eliminating restrictive thought’s of you, that can stunt your growth! Think and be Free! “Mellow Into The Moment” and “Enjoy A Better You” The Altar of Sacrifice
Release it to God and watch God work!!! Just say, "God I desire to have positive results in my life and I pray in the name of Jesus for it. I'm releasing it to you to do as you will. I have faith you'll take me where I'm supposed to be. Amen!" Then take positive steps toward your dreams and desires worry free and wait earnestly! Don't become so consumed with your dreams, wants and desires. Surrender all and let it go. Lay it on the "altar of sacrifice" and let it go! When one door closes another opens on your road to your destiny. There's freedom in giving up control, it belongs to God not you. Put on your coat of love and peace, knowing the divine spirit has control and you'll get what's yours in due time. So relax! You don't have to be worried or frustrated, God is working overtime for you. If you put your trust in the Lord you'll never be permanently disappointed. You can be happy right where you are, so be grateful. God has it all figured out. Anything you feel you have to have the enemy will use against you. So lay it on the alter and move freely and peacefully. Put it in God's hands! He's the one that gave you your dreams, and also laid the blueprint for you to follow. He'll make setbacks a comeback. Release your worries and concerns to God, your best days are ahead of you. Lay it on the "Altar of Sacrifice" and let it go! Live In The Truth!
Becoming consciously aware of your real feelings is a powerful way to, “live in the truth” and be true to yourself. Ask yourself how you really feel about situations and be truthful about your feelings. Acknowledge and admit your feelings to yourself, being honest with your self at all times. This Self-Truth shall be your foundation! If you’re not living truthfully with yourself, surely you can’t live in truth with others and the universe. You’re entitled to all of your emotions and they’re valid. So, when you feel fear, compassion, anxious, nervous, desperate, loving, pity, misunderstood, shame, etc. You must honor your emotions, they deserves to be honored. Once you admit your feelings to yourself and honor them with truth, rather than judge them harshly or condemn them. You will set living in truth into existence within you. When living in truth with yourself, you become your own best friend, living in a state of awareness and consciousness that promotes growth. Once you’re living in the truth and honor your emotions, you become conscious of your choices. Hopefully you’ll choose to not engage in anything degrading your being and choose to only allow people in your life who are supportive. This choice will change your relationships for the better and provide you with the love, honor and respect growth deserves. Remember you have a choice in the types of people you want in your life. It’s all in your control; no one has the right to treat you bad. Choose loving, honorable, compassionate, kind people invested in positive growth. Always remember, that there are three people involved in a relationship: you, the other person, and your relationship. When working harmoniously, in a healthy relationship, together you’ll enjoy a mentally, physically and spiritually healthy experience. If there is abuse, control and manipulation, problems will soon follow. Life itself brings its own challenges, you living in truth and having a solid foundation based on truth will enable you to weather life’s storms. You can weather the storm and grow stronger by living in the truth of your being. There will always be a need in life, to revisit and revise. Anything not based in truth and life enhancing, you must let it go. No one can determine your truth but you and you’re the only person that can act upon your truth. Have the courage to live in truth and live a positive, peace filled, loving life. “Living in truth,” can and will play a major role in the outcome of your life. Your mental, physical, and emotional health is dependant upon this. So have the courage to live in truth and watch how it changes your life for the better. Believe in You!

Give Without Expectation of Receiving Anything in Return!
Give of what you have without expecting to receive anything in return. Do what needs to be done; nothing more, nothing less! Give lovingly and joyously, there's nothing more to do or can be done. There are many things you receive daily that were given by others out of the kindness of their hearts. We're all guilty of not noticing these free gifts that are a blessing in our daily lives. We don't even know what person to thank in most cases. But they were given because it needed to be done and someone took the responsibility to make it happen. Put forth an effort to give! This is a reward within itself for you, the universe and those who benefit from your thoughtfulness. Sit for a moment and think of what you know needs to be done and go do it. Someone will be grateful and it will not deplete you, it'll display the love, joy, kindness and compassion that lives within you! Your service to the world is to share your message and talents! The only responsibility you have is to deliver and not judge! |
