Elevated Living

While the country is being preached to of a possible second recession, trillions of dollars in government debt, the continuing war overseas and more natural disasters, we can choose to get caught up in the negative sensationalism portrayed by the media or we can focus on creating something positive in our individual lives.

While all of these events have their significance, we do not need to concentrate on the negative. We need to either help solve the issue, guide those in charge or stay out of it. Everything happens for a reason and perpetuating the problem does not end it.

We have the power to live well regardless of what is transpiring around us. When we live from the inside out, the exterior forces of the world have little to no impact on our lives. At some point, we will all experience a difficult episode but we can choose our reaction to it! We can bounce or we can hit the ground with a splat.

When we select a higher conscious reaction to the surrounding world, we move beyond the judgment of the masses. When we opt for a view from the top, guided by Spirit, we do not get bogged down in the grime of political affairs, religious extremism or media control.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“God’s happiness is all around us. Let your view be sustained from a higher altitude.” tc

Double Trouble


Don’t: Lie, Cheat, Steal, Gossip, Sneak, Deny, Hide, Possess, Compare, Covet, Yell, Brag, Avoid, Use, Abuse, Conspire, Manipulate, Control, Indulge, Argue, Hate and Fear.

All of these behaviors do not end with the initial act. Quite the contrary, they continue to wreak havoc in your life and in your soul for eons of time after the deeds have been done! The worry, confusion, responsibility, guilt and shame resulting from these types of activities will be eating away at your spirit creating all sorts of dis-ease within.

Many of the ills of the body, mind and spirit are manifested from the negative thoughts, actions and feelings of our Being. Examples would be allergies, joint stiffness, cancers, colds, back pain, indigestion, weight problems, rashes, etc. If an illness cannot be traced back to direct contact with a toxin, it most likely is derived from the “Self.” When a person is balanced and healthy, those types of disorders simply do not develop in the physical form.

We do have the ability to manage our own health. By waking up to the power of awareness, responsibility and self-control, we can begin to learn to listen to our bodies and trust our instincts. There is a time and place for doctors, healers, ministers, advisors and the like but they should never supersede your own voice and opinion.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Learn the voice of your body and use moderation to prevent future reoccurring dis-ease.” tc
