~By Gloria Wendroff
No longer will you be ego-centered. If you have negative thoughts or emotions, you will know they are just passing thoughts or emotions. They will be no bother at all, just like, when you see a tree in autumn, you’re not upset that its leaves are falling. You don’t feel that trees always have to be in full spring bloom.
Ego thoughts and emotions will become much like a scratch you notice on your finger. You notice it and then not think any more about it. The scratch will not plague you. It will be okay to have a scratch. It won’t matter. It will be like a scrap of paper blown by the wind. Just something there in your vision for a moment.
You understand that love, as We know it, is not an emotion. Emotions are small things. Love is big.
Your emotions are conditioned like Pavlov’s dog. No more than that. Something occurs, and your mind has decided that a certain response from you is needed. The response has a name such as anger or jealousy. It got programmed into your system.
As you grow toward the light, you will have a different response to irritations than you do now. You will not be bounded to a certain response. You really won’t be bothered at all, even when you notice a bother. You will not have all the repercussions that you have been accustomed to. You will not call in the troops, as it were.
You won’t have to fight back. You won’t have to fight anything. You won’t see anything to fight. When you don’t fight, your imagined opponent disappears. He cannot exist in your light. If you don’t fight with him, he can’t fight with you. You would be no fun for him. He can’t even exist without your cooperation. You won’t react with fervor. You won’t react.
When your vision is on the rainbow, it is on the rainbow. It is not on other things. When your vision is so happy on the rainbow, why would it look elsewhere for distraction. Your vision would not want to go backwards. Who would want to look at pouting emotions when he can look at a rainbow – when he is looking at a rainbow? Who can take his eyes off a rainbow? Why would anyone want to?
When you are on the peak of a mountain, you can see a wide expanse. You are not looking at every detail or impediment. When you are at the peak of existence, why would you want to see impediments to spoil your joy? In fact, from the height you stand, you cannot see the annoying ants and gnats. They do not exist for you. Out of sight, out of mind.
When you can create Vastness with your thoughts, you wouldn’t even think about creating littleness. When you are in the full spectrum of light, you don’t ask for darkness. You don’t even know what darkness is anymore, so why would you care about it at all. You certainly would not wrest darkness from the light.
You cannot return to a lesser state of consciousness. You would not choose to. You don’t want to get back the old ways of thinking. As you come into the light, you leave old baggage behind. You can’t take it with you and, at the same time, progress in the light. Baggage can only hold you back, and so you choose freedom, and you choose clarity of purpose, never old thoughts. Old thoughts ride away on a motorcycle in the desert, leaving a little dust behind. You, the rider, never think of looking back, nor do you want to. You keep your eyes front forward, straight ahead.

Be Success
Friday, March 21, 2008
Be success
Only when you're able to accept the possibility of getting it wrong will you have the persistence to get it right. Meaningful success rarely comes from a single transaction.
Success is a consistent pattern more than it is an isolated event. It is the way you live rather than some object or experience you acquire.
In fact, the way to truly have success is to be success. Success is yours when you persistently embody the discipline, the integrity, the positive attitude, the respect and all the other attributes of which it is made.
Visualize yourself today as a living, breathing, active and dynamic manifestation of success. In what way does such a vision compel you to think, to speak, to act and to live?
If you consider success to be something outside of you, that's where it will always remain -- outside of you and apart from you. Instead, choose to not merely be successful, but to be success itself.
In your thoughts, your words, your actions and your expectations, be the living embodiment of success. And whatever you envision will surely be within your reach.
-- Ralph Marston

Here To Do Great Things
(Rather timely feeling)
Thursday, March 20, 2008
Here to do great things
You are worthy of all the goodness that life can hold. You are capable of making a valuable contribution to the moment you're in.
You do not need to beg for the kindness of others. For you have within you the ability to express and manifest enough kindness to fill your world.
There is no reason for you to feel sorry for yourself, and there is no point in acting in such a way that others feel sorry for you. For a world full of positive possibilities awaits you, if you will simply lift your head and open your eyes.
You have no cause to be ashamed of who you are or where you come from. For there is so much you have to offer.
You were born to do things that have never been done, to understand things that have never been understood. You are here in this place to express the rich and unique beauty that lives within you.
Don't let the silly little dramas of each day get you down. For you are here to do great things.

Peaceful Effectiveness
Saturday, March 15, 2008
Peaceful effectiveness
Be continually at peace with yourself, and absolutely anything is possible. Rid your mind of all inner conflict, and the outer conflicts will not matter.
Realize that you can transcend anything, and everything becomes an opportunity. Decline to be caught up in the wasteful, destructive power struggles of the world, and you'll find the real power to create according to your highest vision.
Gratefully and graciously accept each day as it comes. Let go of what has been, and eagerly take in all that is.
Choose your intentions as if they will come to life in great abundance. For when those intentions are sincerely filled with positive, meaningful purpose, they will indeed become real.
Instead of struggling to get one up on everyone else, raise your awareness to the point at which the competition is insignificant. Get in the habit of creating value, and you won't feel the need to take it from others.
To be truly effective, be truly peaceful, sincere, thankful and accepting. Find delight and fulfillment in pulling all of life forward.

Be Clear About Why
Friday, March 14, 2008
Be clear about why
When your reason for doing so is meaningful enough, you can bear any burden and prevail through any challenge. When you know why, you'll have what it takes to work through how.
If you have a sense that something is too complicated, that merely means that you don't have a compelling enough reason to figure it out. Know why you seek to understand, and that understanding will surely come.
Before beginning any endeavor, take the time to be completely clear with yourself about the reason why. Solidly connecting with the why will activate skills, capabilities and effectiveness that you may not have even known you had.
Whether you seek to motivate yourself or others, a fundamental, essential part of that motivation is knowing why. Without a reason, all the abilities, opportunities, efforts and resources in the world will yield nothing of any value.
Purpose is what makes possibilities come to life. Keep reminding yourself why, in rich and colorful detail, and you will find a way to do whatever you intend to do.
Before you even think about how to proceed, make sure you clearly know why. After that, you'll begin moving forward faster and more reliably than you ever could have thought possible.

Faithful Expression
Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Faithful expression
Fulfillment does not come from grabbing and holding something outside of you. Fulfillment is brought about by being the living expression of what you value most.
The possibilities in life have no limit. Those possibilities you fulfill are the possibilities you choose to embrace and embody.
Life is whatever you can sincerely imagine it to be. Those possibilities that you conceive of, understand, and value are the ones you bring to life.
If you continually hold conflicting possibilities in your mind, then that same conflict will shape the events and circumstances of your life. Focus instead on the good, valuable, desirable possibilities that support and complement each other.
The things you seek become yours when you allow your life to express them. Think of what you can do right now, in this moment, to bring to life your most treasured dreams and values.
Every thought, every word, every action matters, and adds to the substance of your life. When all that you do faithfully expresses the person you are, life is filled with richness and meaning.
