A Ship in the Harbor

“A ship in the harbor is safe, but after a while the bottom rots out.”

Anonymous

“That can happen if we stay too long in our safe zone. I begin to “rot.” Oh, just little indicators. A pound here or there goes on. A negative way of thinking begins to take root in my brain. Getting the ship out of the harbor is HARD WORK!! (Just go to any major pier.) But the pay off is fantastic.”

Hawaii is one of my favorite places on earth and the Big Island of Hawaii holds a special kind of magic for me. With worries the last couple days of Tsunami warnings my thoughts have been on Hawaii’s islands and my friends who live there. So this post is for each of you; may the islands remain safe and the spirit of Aloha surround each of you.

“There are three components to the Law Of Dharma. The first component says that each of us is here to discover our true Self, to find out on our own that our true Self is spiritual, that essentially we are spiritual beings that have taken manifestation in physical form. We are not human beings having occasional spiritual experiences – it’s the other way around: we’re spiritual beings that have occasional human experiences.”

From the book “The Seven Spiritual Law’s of Success” Deepak Chopra

Communion With God

ahealedheart — Tue, 12 May 2009 02:43:55 +0000

Communion With God By: Peter Walsch continues to touch me and inspire me. This is one of many books that Peter Walsch has written through spiritual guidance and I tonight when I opened the book randomly for insight I was touched by his quote from page 178.

Happiness is a decision, not an experience.
You can decide to be happy without what you thought you needed in order to be happy, and you will be.

You Can Heal Your Life

Louise Hay you can Heal your life.

I have written about this movie, “you can Heal your life” previously on my site. I watched the interview portion of the dvd with Louise Hay again tonight. I was looking to gain some additional insight for my own life. As I listened I was touched over and over by her words and her inspiring thoughts. I replayed the interview about four times so that I could get each of these quotes. Her words and her thoughts are so deeply moving and inspiring that I wanted to share them here on my web site.

Begin to train yourself to be aware of what your thinking. One of the ways to do that is to periodically say, “what am I thinking?” Would I like this thought to create my life? It takes a while to do that. Even on the smallest level it can make changes. We begin this by doing, doing affirmations. Do them deliberately, that is making positive statements about your life. Do it morning and night, or twice a day or even at lunch. As you do this, things will begin to change. I call it getting the green lights and the parking spots. They are small things but they are good things.

What I like people to do is stand in front of the mirror and do their affirmations. There is something very powerful about looking in your own eyes and accepting yourself or rejecting yourself. When you get up in the morning go to the mirror and start your day by saying “your name, I love you, I really really love you.” Miracles will begin to happen. If you can begin your day with that it’s very very powerful.

If you do a good general statement about yourself the universe will figure out how to manifest that, how to bring it into your life. It’s like planting a seed and letting it grow.

Gratitude works alot. The more you’re grateful for your life, the more the universe gives you to be grateful about. The universe loves gratitude.

My Gratitude Realization

Indian Shores Beach Gratitude By: Lisa Overman

The last weeks I’ve felt drawn to write about gratitude and how gratitude impacts our life and our experiences. Gratitude has shifted the flow of abundance in my life. Two days ago as I was impacted by a wonderful flow of abundance into my life I had an Ah Ha moment. It’s been through my own struggle with paying for two houses and all the accompanying bills, that allows me the insight to share with others in similar situations, allowing them to see that they too can make a positive shift in their life by focusing in gratitude.

It would just be words that are meaningless if people thought I had no similar experiences in my own life of this struggle in our trying financial times. I have been juggling the bills of these two houses for two years, alone. The moments of fear, anxiety and stress have been great. But my determination to find a way through the dark moments brought me to a place of grace and gratitude, where I realized my focus on gratitude was making a shift in my life. It can certainly make a difference in the lives of others in similar situations. No, it doesn’t happen over night. It is not a magic bullet to make all our problems go away. What it is, is a gentle shift in our thinking, our experiences, when we realize even in the struggles that we have things to be grateful for.

Okay, I admit there are moments when I’m not in gratitude, when I’m in fear. There are moments when the anxiety overcomes me and I feel like I can’t breathe from the stress. What gratitude has shown me is that I can shift my life with a grateful attitude. It has brought a gentle flow of abundance to my life. Several times now money has flowed to me that I needed greatly at that time. It doesn’t happen every time, and no matter how great or how small the abundance that comes, I focus my energy and my prayers saying thank you to spirit for providing each gift of abundance. I repeat my thanks and I find it shifts both my mood and my experience. I feel more uplifted living like this. I also find more blessed moments coming my way and find myself focused much more in an attitude of gratitude.
