[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

"Happiness is abundant in the joy of achievement." Happiness doesn't come from successfully completing simple or mundane tasks, it comes from completing a task that demands your best efforts. When you pour your heart and soul into something and you accomplish that something, the afterglow of satisfaction you feel is happiness. It is the thrill of all your efforts and hard work. Each and every one of us needs to accomplish, achieve and triumph to be happy. Our human spirit requires it. Remember that happiness thrives in activity and accomplishment. Go for it! ©Jane Powell   The Best That You Can Be "Fear is the mind killer I will face my fear. I will let the fear pass through me And only I will remain." The important point of this statement is that fear comes, passes, and leaves. It does not adhere to us unless we grab hold, hang onto, and internalize it. Facing our fear may also involve embracing it and letting it go. Looking it in the eye, acknowledging it, then setting it free as being something that is not solid or lasting but meant to pass through and on. When we identify with our fears by making negative statements about ourselves, we have forgotten who we truly are. Each of us is a precious one-of-a-kind event that is necessary for the world to move forward. There is something that only we can do, a destiny that we create and fulfill for ourselves that impacts the whole. We may not feel that we are worthy or entitled but that is simply a byproduct of fear and as unsubstantial. It simply is not true. We have more impact on the lives of others and the way things play out than we can ever imagine. We have more power than we can contemplate. Perhaps understanding the magnitude of this is the greatest fear of all. For then we understand that we are responsible for our own destiny and must let go of any thoughts of blaming anything outside of ourselves for who we are. In reality, this understanding sets us free. For though we rarely can control the situations that come to us in life or the word and actions of others, we can always control what we do with them. Situations come to pass, they never come to stay. And when we allow them to pass and disappear into the past like shadows, our vibrant spiritual selves remain, powerful in the present moment. That is the constant, the unchanging, in an ever changing world. Have a great day and be good to yourself. You truly deserve it!     Shining positive example Don't let the negative opinions, attitudes, and choices of others get you down. Make your own choice to follow a positive, productive and meaningful path forward. Don't let yourself be angered or frustrated by the carelessness or incompetence of the people you encounter. With your own relentless commitment to excellence, raise those encounters to a higher level. Generously and sincerely offer your encouragement, but don't become dismayed if that encouragement is not immediately embraced. Do what you know is good and right and effective, even when there are few who understand and support you. There's no need to compromise your values in order to get along with others. You can be genuinely kind, understanding, compassionate and helpful while also staying true to who you are. Let the negativity of others inspire you to live each moment of your own life as a shining positive example. Make the whole world better by being your best. Life is much too precious, and too full of great opportunities, to get mired in the negativity you encounter. Choose to rise above it, and encourage everyone else to come along.
