“If you change the way you look at things…”

by startoverevie, posted in 2020, dear me, life, love, Purpose, Wayne Dyer

I could provably leave this post with this image and keep it moving. I’ve been thinking about this quote so much. Every time I repeat it, multiple experiences, relationships, things, food etc. come to mind. I have either experienced exactly this once I looked at them differently, or I realize that if I would have changed the way I looked at them, the situation would have changed, and the experience would have been a more positive one.

For the rest of this week I want to put this into practice, activel and intentionally. Because there is something amazingly powerful in this statement; better yet this statement is empowering, because the power to change we look at things lies within you and me.

IF I CHANGE THE WAY I LOOK AT THINGS
THE THINGS I LOOK AT CHANGE… -Wayne Dyer

Everything is perfect

by startoverevie, posted in dear me, Happiness, life, love, Perfect, Thankful

Why not accept things, and experience for what they are? Everything that happens to and around us is perfect just as it is. Even if it’s horrible, it’s something that for a mysterious reason had to happen, and even that is perfect. One day in the future you and I may discover the reasons for the bad, in the meantime, we must continue to remember that everything is perfect as is.

We should accept and appreciate everything, everyone and every moment. Acceptance and appreciation allows us to have a light heart and spirit, experiencing it will fill us with joy. We must choose to think of this moment just as it is, is absolutely perfect. Right now YOU ARE PERFECT.

The Way to Happiness

“There is NO WAY to happiness, HAPPINESS IS THE WAY” -Wayne Dyer

Talk about an “aha” moment. When I read the quote above it was like a light bulb came on. We live our lives searching for happiness, for things to make us happy, for people to make us happy, for our situations to make us happy, for our jobs to make us happy, basically searching for it everywhere but inside of us. We search and search for something that is with us at all times, without realizing that all we have to do is call upon it, declare it and it will be. We can choose happiness, and with that choice we can live every day and every moment of our live walking in happiness.

Quotes on happiness:

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”
― Abraham Lincoln

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
― Albert Camus

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
― Buddha

“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”
―  Oscar Wilde

Say onto yourself “Peace be Still”

Not doing what I said I would do gets to me real bad, real hard. So hard that I disappear, and try to forget what I wanted, but at the end, it all comes back. Much has happened since I was last here. But interestingly I have news for you, great news! I have been starting over every single day!!! Ok ok, I know that’s not exactly “news” but it’s my way of coming back saying, “you see, I’ve kept up with my theme” (*wink).

Here’s the thing, in life you can go in one of two ways on this topic… You can choose to start over, or life will find a way of making you start over. And that is what my intention is when I write in this blog. I am reminding myself that I’m starting over on my terms.

Life has changed drastically. Last I wrote I was on the verge of a divorce, today, we are stronger than ever as a family, and truly found a middle ground to start over.

I’m closing with this reminder to self:

“Self Control is Strength
Right Thought is Mastery
Calmness is Power
Say onto yourself Peace be Still” (James Allen – As a man thinketh)
