What makes Life worth Living

Notice what makes life worth living is being touched by the magic of life. Call it the unexplainable mystery that inspires sparks of excitement. Call it love, the palpable or visceral sensations of joy, acceptance, belonging, the energy we radiate as it hits we inter-connect, we are seen, heard and valued. A pivotal frequency shift occurs as we begin to love ourselves so deeply that nothing fazes us. We fearlessly make choices that a former version of us would never even contemplate. We surrender completely to the unseen support of the universe. We give and receive energy without judgement and strengthen boundaries that demonstrate we reclaim our true power. This is the moment we draw strength and courage from within ourselves that enables us to face what another part of us might interpret as our greatest gift. This brings true illumination

Speak affirmatively & strengthen from within

To raise your awareness about how you speak and when has the potential to transform your life.  You may be unaware how you create your mindset.  What are you waiting for? How would you like to change? Listen to what you say.  You will be amazed at the nature of what you applaud and when you reprimand.  Many people are unaware of their own self-criticism and the choice to stop doing it.

Consider how you react to your experiences.  If you walk into a wall or run your hand into a doorknob in passing, what kinds of words do you use to describe yourself?  If you forget to run an errand or fail at your new venture, are you positive or negative? Do you feel angry and punish yourself or, do you immediately forgive yourself? All you say is shaping your character.

Think about when you apply for a promotion or other opportunities.  If the result is not in your favor, do you assume you did something wrong or, aren't good enough? Do you imagine the worst case scenario? Or, do you recognize you're simply meant for other more suitable opportunities? Whatever your attitude, however your life vision arises, you either pump up or deflate your ego.

Reflect on the progression of your relationships.  Do you constantly sense mistakes, insecurity, inadequacy and lack, or, are you the type of person who recognizes value and blessings to be found and retained from each experience? Speak positively about everyone and see what happens.

If you sincerely desire to realize dreams, then you must evolve to chose words that reinforce your intentions.  The words you utter reinforce images you create on the inside.  They build up and strengthen your confidence or, they slowly chip away at your self worth and purpose until you doubt yourself.  No matter what stage you're at, you're capable of using more positive words that enable you to feel good. tell yourself you are beautiful, intelligent, talented and more.  Declare good things about yourself and your life.  Express gratitude.  Words you use have the power to transform.

"Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there." -Marcus Antoninus

Restore your inner strength

For much of your life, you may have derived your self-worth from how you performed in the office, with romantic partners, in athletic competitions or, in some other area of your life.  Even if you haven't been consciously aware of it, you may have felt that the more professional or group recognition you gained, the more personal compliments were directed your way, the more money you earned, all determined your underlying value.  Are you the type of person who thinks, "the better I do, the more people will like me?" Is this the crux of your view of success?

If you've had thoughts like those described above, you may have accomplished things, but still miss out on a lot.  There's more to life than simply lving according to other people's criteria or how they think you should live.  Some of the most challenging experiences are those that trigger most personal revelations and initiate inner healing. 

If you have been frightened of making new decisions or taking initiatives, you may assume fate is in charge and there's no point in taking steps to shape your course.  You may not yet have realized its up to you to restore faith, trust and tap into existing inner strength.  Consider this:

1) You decide what comes of you mentally and spiritually.  Conditions such as lack of food, little sleep, and other disconcerting sources of stress, remind you that what becomes of you results from an inner decision.  Do you decide to give up, stop seeking solutions, and stop fighting or, do you decide external circumstances will not control your attitude? Just as you may experience the suffering sides of emotions, you can learn what it means to stop suffering just as soon as you formulate a convincing, multi-sensual, mental picture of what it means and believe. 

2) You can make use of or forgo opportunities.  Are you aware that your inner strength can raise you above your outward experiences?  You are confronted with fate, each time you have the opportunity to achieve and learn through suffering.  You can choose to face hardship in a courageous and dignified way, and value your health in whatever state or, see meaning in other perceived predicaments that challenge your comfort zone. Ask yourself how would whatever you sense is difficult in your life actually helping you? Embrace it.

3) You can decide to take spiritual evolution seriously.  Your free will and decisions shape your observations and how you understand success.  You determine how long you fear your circumstances, and when this destructive mindset will end.  Another way of seeing is to realize difficult situations are gifts that enable you to interpret life as an opportunity to grow beyond what the mind can teach you. Embrace the challenges where you perceive.  Shift your perception.  Turn your circumstances into the reason for your latest, inner triumph. Decidr to take spiritual evolution seriously. Respond with joy and stretch yourself.
