Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and WE are the beholder. Being true to ourselves makes us beautiful. Our authenticity, pure heart and vulnerability makes us beautiful. When we recognize beauty in another, we are recognizing it within our-selves. Our beauty comes from ‘within’ and everything around us is acting as a mirror reflecting it back.

“What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” ~ Gautama Buddha

What we think, believe we deserve and expect is what will show up for us. We are creating our experiences with our thoughts and what we see is a result of thinking about what we desire (coming from abundance) OR what we don’t want or have, (coming from lack).

We sure know how get in our own way don’t we? We hold on to words said to us that didn’t make us feel good, old hurts and regrets from past experiences. We also allow these old negative memories to get into our psyche and these thoughts greatly affect the way we feel about ourselves now. We can become led by fear and ultimately that can affect our belief in self. We are very hard on ourselves! The truth is that we did the very best we could with the knowledge we had at the time.

“Love is action. It’s clear, it’s kind, it’s effortless, and it’s irresistible.” ~ Byron Katie

Want to be irresistible? Be LOVE. It begins with us, it’s our compassion, generosity, kindness and acceptance. Not everyone will receive our flow of love in the way we intend but that should not discourage us from our decision. Allowing our love to be unwavering is OUR choice of how WE wish to be, and how we wish to see the world.

“The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best which is within us.” ~ Marianne Williamson

Today’s quote is so inspiring, living each day expressing the best that is within us. It is a powerless feeling to think that life just happens to us; that’s where chaotic thoughts, lack of direction and a sense of being overwhelmed begin. Where do we want to change or set new standards?

Tony Robbins has these great first steps:

1) Write down all the things you no longer accept in your life, the things you will no longer tolerate.

2) Write down all the things you aspire to becoming.

“Don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul.”~ Mario Quintana

Our mind is our garden and our thoughts are like seeds. We have thousands of thoughts a day; our positive, constructive thoughts are flowers that bloom and trees that bare fruit and our negative thoughts are the weeds. So what does our mind garden look like?

“You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you’re responsible for the energy that you bring to others.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

Our energy is our ‘essence’, good vibes, bad vibes, what is our emotional state? The consistent loop of thoughts and how we feel about ourselves is our energetic introduction. Before we even open our mouths, our energy has created an impression.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• I am responsible for what comes out of my mouth. I listen to what I say. I no longer gossip or repeat negative stories.

• I am Love. I am Energy. I am a Shining Light.

Happiness is an inside job. Thoughts we have about ourselves and what we perceive receiving from our world are the driving force of our emotions, which affects our happiness. When we walk around with negative thoughts about anything – what do we think we’re going to experience?

Daily Affirmations  with Louise Hay

• I rejoice in the Love I encounter every day.

• I do not fix problems. I fix my thinking. Then problems fix themselves.

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.” ~ Thomas Merton

It happens, we get thrown out of balance and caught up in the frenzy of all there is to do, or maybe it’s been a bit of a bumpy road and we’re out of alignment.

There’s a great analogy said by Romor Godden based upon an Indian belief; “Everyone is in a house of four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room everyday, even if only to keep it aired, we are not complete.”

I love this quote so much, it speaks to how connected we are and when we are in appreciation for all of the wonderful things in our life, it shifts perspectives. This not only brings peace to our own bodies but also touches everyone around us. When gratitude runs through us, we receive information from the world much differently and attract the powerful vibration of abundance.
