Sometimes, we experience times of frustration in our life. We believe we're on track, trusting God and ourselves, yet things don't work out. We have false starts and stops. The door refuses to swing wide open. We may wonder if God has abandoned us, or doesn't care. We may not understand where we're going, or what our direction is. Then one day we see: the reason we didn't get what we wanted was because God had something much better planned for us.Today, I will practice patience. I will ask, and trust, my Higher Power to send me His best.Melody Beattie ©

There's only one of us here: What we give to others, we give to ourselves. What we withhold from others, we withhold from ourselves. In any moment, when we choose fear instead of love, we deny ourselves the experience of Paradise.Marianne Williamson

AA Thought for the Day / When, therefore, we were approached by those in whom the problem had been solved, there was nothing left for us but to pick up the simple kit of spiritual tools laid at our feet. / AA, p. 25

Perhaps you feel tired, empty, or depressed because you are draining energy as you push your inner desires to the rear of your awareness. Denying inner truth is like trying to keep the lid on a pressure cooker that has built up too much steam. Try as you will, you can’t contain it. If you know in your heart that you’re not using your most precious gifts or pursuing your dreams, you will not feel passion for the path that you are on. A certain numbness may even take hold, where you go through the motions and even perform pretty well, but at the end of the day you do not feel full. Rather it feels as though something is missing…and it is…a special part of you. To live authentically is to make a difference with the gifts we’ve been given and to follow the dreams that ignite our passion.

Everything in our lives reflects where we are in the process of developing integration and balance. We can use everything that happens externally as a mirror to help us see the areas within us that need healing and development. Whenever we have a problem, especially a recurring or chronic problem, it is always an arrow pointing directly to some aspect of our psyche where we need more awareness.Shakti Gawain

“Ever wonder what was meant by “Father, Son, Holy Spirit?” Instead, try saying “Source, Action, Result,” or “Mind, Idea, Expression,” or “Spirit, Soul, Body.” It’s all the same thing! The Hindus call it “Sat, Chit, Ananda” (which means “Being, Action, Bliss”), and it is found at the essence of every world religion and philosophy - and, most importantly, within YOU!”Greg Barrette

Happiness, fulfillment, and purpose in life are all inner concepts. If you don’t have inner peace and serenity, then you have nothing.
Wayne Dyer

Put your heart, mind, spirit and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.Swami Sivananda
