Messages about positive thinking

Let's consider for a moment that in having the courage to go for what you want regardless of the odds in or out of your favor, you are stirring nature. You give life an opportunity.

If you can use upliftment today, find some. If you cannot think of something new to inspire you, think of something that inspired you in the past.

Open up to the fact that there are other perspectives. It doesn’t help you out very much to affirm that Life on Earth is a hard case. Why affirm it? Why would you ever want to prove such a thing?

I’ve always thought of myself as having a positive attitude. Not all the time, of course. I think we all have our good and bad days, the latter making positive thinking quite a bit harder, those days when if someone says ‘Think positive’, well, I’ll leave it to your imagination.

When you feel somber and perhaps deprived, this is a signal to be good to yourself. You are taking life too seriously. You are wearing black or dark gray. Find a happier color.

No more whining about poor you. Equate yourself with joy, and be joy. Complaints are not to be on your agenda. You are despondent when you say you are. Give yourself freedom from unhappiness.

As a sensitive person, you deeply feel energies. You may even feel like you’re absorbing other people’s emotions. How can a sensitive person stay positive, when there are negative people and news stories around you?

Today is put before you as a blessing. This is to be a bless-ed day. Feel sprightly, and you will make this day sprightly as well. There is fate, yes. At the same time, you are the maker of your fate in the Presence of Today.

Great expectations. That's the phrase I'm using these days to help me stay aligned with the experiences I most want to enjoy in life.

The Gabriel Message card for this week: 

Give Yourself a Fast from Negative Thoughts about Yourself

This card always shows up at opportune moments when I notice I am being less than compassionate with myself. It is a very old habit. Somehow I took all the criticism I received growing up and heaped it on myself as an adult.

Thank you for being here. I say “thank you” because by being here today you serve more than just your personal agenda. You add to the energy of this group, to the energy of this spiritual community,

I think many people nowadays have heard that gratitude is good for us, but if you haven’t, or want a recap on how and why, here’s 10 reasons below. Please share them with others so that more people enjoy the benefits of gratitude.

The topic of Manifesting has come up on the Facebook page today and its connection with 'positive thinking'. This reminded me of an interaction I had the other week with a man who runs a local cafe.

Yes! It’s doing it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It’s impossible, actually, to disentangle your mind from your genes.

Your mind is affecting your body right now. It affects it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Most of the time we just don’t notice. We’re all chemists, you see.
