Never never never give up!!!

  Perhaps you have felt at some point in your life that you should just give up.  Many people feel like giving up right now.  If this is you or someone you know, PLEASE read this, and share it, and know that you are not alone!
  When he completed miliary service, he decided to use his self-administered study of the law to enter politics, so he ran for a seat in the Senate.  He was defeated by a large majority.
   So he temporarily retired from the law and politics and became a storekeeper.  His store went bankrupt, and he spent the next seventeen years of his life paying off his debts, picking up whatever odd jobs he could.  But his daydreams continued to urge him on.
  He fell in love, married, struggled to support his family, and then again entered politics-as a candidate for Congress.  He was elected by a very narrow margin, but when he ran for re-election, he was humiliatingly defeated.
   Next, he tried to get a position with the United States Land Office, but they refused to hire him.  It seemed that everywhere he went, he was ridiculed because of his poor background, his lack of education and social graces.  He held up his head, ignored his hurt pride, and decided to run for the United States Senate.  Both his friends and enemies, even his family, laughed at him behind his back.  Once again, he was defeated.
   Eventually, he was nominated for Vice-President at the political convention of a major party.  On the final ballot, he lost again-to a political unknown.  Running again for the Senate, he waged a campaign which captured the imagination of a nation, but which resulted in only another defeat.
   Still, he never stopped following his "daydreams".  He didn't dwell on his failures.  He continued to intensely and fiercely pursue the ideals and principles in which he believed.  And finally, at the age of fifty, wounded by heartache and scarred by repeated defeats, but still clinging fast to his destined life path, Abraham Lincoln became President of the United States.
   Imagine if HE had given up!  How different would our world be?  The same goes for YOU! Cling fast to your destined life path and do not let your defeats stop you.  The world needs you!  And you, and you!  Blessings and Love to all...

There Is Plenty For everyone, Including Me!

"The Ocean of Life is lavish with its abundance!  All my needs and desires are met before I even ask.  My good comes from everywhere and everyone and everything." -Louise L. Hay

     I find this quote very important at this time when we are coming out of the poverty consciousness caused by the recent recession.  I remember when the announcement was made that we were officially in a recession and what followed quickly afterwards, PANIC!  People  became so scared and this exacerbated the damage to our already damaged economy.  Now that I recently heard a new announcement that the recession is over, I am affirming that we are recovering more and more each day from any thought of lack.  We need to trust that the Universe is an abundant one, full of love, wealth, and prosperity which is available to ALL of us.  The opposite of fear is love.  So you can change any fears you have about the economy and your financial well being into a loving Prosperity Consciousness.  When we were told there was a lack, people acted and lived accordingly.  Now that we have been told that the time of recession is over,  let us create this loving Prosperity Consciousness and trust that all our needs and desires have already been met and that the Universe is supporting us All in every way.  Tap into your Prosperous Universe!  Declare: Prosperity is Mine!  And so it is!

I Trust the Process of Life

     "There is a rhythm and a flow to life and I am part of it!  Life supports me and brings to me only good and positive experiences.  I trust the process of life to bring me my highest good!"-Louise L. Hay

     Trusting the process of life is what I am working on in this moment.  I have been feeling impatient lately, wanting to get my goals accomplished NOW!  Patience is what spirit keeps whispering in my ear.  Feeling like I'm not getting enough done is getting me nowhere but into a state of frustration.  So I must trust in this flow of life, that is bringing me my highest good.

     Affirmations to help me in this process:  I am calm and relaxed.  I have everything I need inside of me.  I draw from the Universe all the wisdom needed to take on any task easily.  I relax into the flow of life.  My creativity is increasing every day.  I am safe.  All is well in my world.
