The Power of Choice

      

We have a choice to make about how we choose to feel every single day. We don’t necessarily get to feel however we want to at any given moment, but we have a say in what we choose to feel.Turning our attention to gratitude instead of focusing on hardship brings us into an entirely different place. Choosing to be strong instead of weak transforms our experiences. Being positive and seeing the good all around us puts the rest in a different place and we can see it from a higher perspective. 

"Whichever emotion we choose to feed strengthens in its life-force energy."

Whichever emotion we choose to feed strengthens in its life-force energy. It is not enough to think positively, to act in a strong way, or to feel gratitude instead of self-pity once. We need to make it a regular practice. We need to be conscious of our thoughts and to notice when our thoughts are carrying us in the wrong direction, and to move our attention to who we want to be. If we want to be courageous, we need to nurture the thoughts that are in alignment with that quality. We have to identify which thoughts contribute to our sense of courage and to find these thoughts in our awareness. The same holds true for any emotion that we want to feel.


We have a tremendous power within ourselves to create the inner experiences that we want to have. It isn’t always easy at first, but few things that are worth our time are easy. As we create these new inner experiences, we become a gift to everyone’s life that we touch. ~Karin M. Keyes

Embracing the Magnitude and Magic of Life

Let go of any thoughts of who you were yesterday. You are a new person today. Don’t waste your time reflecting on your old thoughts. They were the thoughts of yesterday, not today. Be present to the energy all around you at this given moment. Let go of everything that does not serve you. Don’t reflect on people’s views that are of a lower vibration than your own or what you strive for. There is nothing you need to take from this. Life is not about survival. It is about thriving and growing and transcending. Let lower beliefs become all but invisible to you. You are aware that they are there. That’s all you need to know. Move within yourself as if you are the only person on this earth. Acknowledge what you know and strive to become more aware of the magnitude and magic of life that is all around you and of which you are a part.   ~ Karin M.

We All Are Souls in Growth

Image
         Be gentle with yourself. We are all souls in growth. What we know today, we didn’t know yesterday. What we will know in a year, we don’t yet know. We need to show ourselves love… always. There is never any need for self-criticism. Instead, go within and get to know yourself better. What positive purpose are your “short-comings” attempting to serve? How are they an attempt at self-love? How can you address those attempts in a more self-loving way? We don’t engage in negative actions because we want to hurt ourselves. We engage in them because we are already hurting. We are trying to regain a sense of control to alleviate the pain and feeling of powerlessness.  The most powerful thing we can do for ourselves is to surrender. The past is the past. It’s over. Nothing we do today can change the events of yesterday. But we can acknowledge how much pain certain events caused us. We can soften to ourselves and know that, no matter what, we survived. W...
