[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

"Unleash your creative power." Many of us do not see ourselves as naturally creative. We fail to recognize and appreciate our innate abilities. That's because we hold limiting concepts of ourselves, and what it means to be creative. The thesaurus says that creativity is also originality, inspiration and imagination. That describes you, doesn't it? Whatever your calling is in life you have the ability to express creativity through it. Whether you want to improve your personal relationships, plant a garden, furnish a home, or cook a gourmet meal – all these avenues offer opportunities for inspired self-expression. So, see yourself as original, inspired and imaginative. Then, unleash the creativity within and watch your attitude and accomplishments reach new heights you never thought imaginable. ©Jane Powell     Be Free    If you are quick to take offense, then you'll be under the control of those whom you find offensive. If you are easily angered, then your actions will be dictated by those who anger you. If you are obsessed by what other people think, then you will be imprisoned by their thoughts. If you yearn for easy answers and quick solutions, you'll fall prey to people who offer nothing but promises. If you find the truth too difficult to bear, you'll be enslaved to those who tell you what you want to hear. When you have the courage to think for yourself, the strength to accept what is, the commitment and discipline to make a difference, then you are free. You are truly free to live with purpose, joy and fulfillment. Let your life be defined not by your reactions to what others do, say or think, but rather by your own unique vision. Raise your eyes above the pettiness and follow the path of the greatness that is within you.  Live with honesty Often, honesty is not easy. Yet ultimately, honesty is much easier than dishonesty. Being dishonest is never worth the price you must pay. It is impossible to be truly at peace when you are living a lie. With each bit of dishonesty, you narrow your options. Eventually, you squeeze yourself into a corner from which there is no escape. A commitment to honesty puts the power of truth on your side. Honesty expands your options and gives durability to your relationships. Being honest with others compels you to be honest with yourself. And it is only when you are honest with yourself that you can fulfill your awesome positive possibilities. Deceit can often be tempting, yet honesty is always the best path. Live with truth and you truly live. Ralph Marston   - Dear Readers, " Morning Coffee " is a labor of love and meant to be shared with others to spread encouragement and inspiration.
