Anger and resentment must be released. The longer we hold keep them as our friend, the more damage it does to us and others nearby. Today, think of at least one person you are angry with or even resent, and say, “I let go of my negative feelings toward you, (name). I forgive you and I forgive myself for having to forgive you.”
“Hanging on to resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head.” ~Ester Lederer
Hey dudes, how’s it going? Sweetie here. I have been crazy busy lately and checked out a bit from the blog after my first post. I am working on some pretty cool stuff and it will be coming soon. I got an email from Bill this morning and thought I would share it with you.
Today’s Message
Courage will set you free. Fear will bind you in chains. I know that it might be a little scary, but pick one thing that brings you fear and face it. You will be amazed how heavy fear can be and how much lighter and happier you feel when you face it head on. Seriously, pick one thing right now. Take a deep breath and get after it!
Today’s Quote
“Courage does not mean the absence of fear, but the ability not to let yourself be paralyzed by that fear.” Paulo Coelho

Today’s Message
Everything is energy. Everything. Sometimes we need to remove ourselves from negative people who do not support us. It doesn’t mean that we don’t love them. It just means that we no longer accept their negative energy in our lives. Say no and send love to them.

Forgiveness is one of the keys to happiness. I say forgive and live rather than use the diseased syringe of revenge.

Today’s Quote
“The ego creates the deadening illusion that we are separate entities, islands unto ourselves that literally have no connection to the world around us. Nothing could be further from the truth. The ultimate spiritual realization has always been that all is One.” ~Andrew Cohen
Today’s Message
the world we see is a mirror image of what is within us. If we look for things that displease us, chances are that is what we will experience. However, the opposite is true. If we look for peace, love, and happiness, we will tend to see the beauty that is around us all the time.
Today’s Quote
“Look at the world with the vision of peace, love, and compassion. Then the whole world will appear loving and peaceful.” Sri Sathya Sai Baba (Indian Spiritual leader, b.1926)
Today’s Message
Comparing ourselves to others only proves that we have a need to judge. They offer zero positive benefits and often create conflicts in our relationships of others. Today, the moment you have a positive or negative comparison thought, try this. Say the following, “I am perfect just the way I am. I am a powerful, positive person. Since I am what I think, I choose to think I am SA-WEETNESS all over.”
Today’s Quote
“If we find ourselves always coming out on the positive or negative end of comparisons, we may eventually develop strong feelings of loneliness and isolation. This occurs because others (consciously or unconsciously) sense our assessment and, at some level, pick up on our belief of better than or less than. With either belief, we are inviting conflict or submission in our relationships. In such a case, intimacy never develops fully.
“Taking it a step further; if we compare ourselves to others, we are demonstrating a value driven by a desire to be the same as or different from someone else. Given that forward progress on our life’s journey requires discovering and valuing the true self (as we are) we can only imagine how much comparison can slow us down. The negative ego strategy of comparison limits the future by allowing others to dictate it. In other words, when we look to others for assessment of ourselves, we are, in essence, at the mercy o f their level of functioning.
“Confronting the negative ego and diminishing its effects can result in us being more fully present in our interactions with others as well as with our selves. In a sense, when we are successful in separating out the negative ego messages, we become the observer of our thoughts and take responsibility for them. This requires courage on our part to be in the moment. When we empower ourselves to be fully present in this way, we disempower the negative ego.” Exerpt from Who Am I? How Do I Find Me (Meda Killgore, Therapist and Author)

Today’s Message
We are not perfect, nor should we be. It seems like most of us focus more on our imperfections than the things we do well. It’s kind of like Monday’s message in that the more we focus on something negative, the easier it is to spiral out of control. Acknowledge the negative aspects about yourself but focus on the positive things you bring to the plate. And today, you are some kind of SA-WEET!
Today’s Quote
“Being at peace with ourselves is not about denying or rejecting any part of ourselves. On the contrary, in order to be at peace, we must be willing and able to hold ourselves, in all our complexity, in a full embrace that excludes nothing. This is perhaps the most difficult part for many of us, because we want so much to disown the negative aspects of our humanity. Ironically, though, true peace begins with a willingness to take responsibility for our humanity so that we might ultimately transform it in the light of our love.” Learning to Live (Madisyn Taylor, author, co-founder and editor in chief of the website, www.dailyom.com)
Believe it. See it. Love it!
With peace and gratitude,
Bill
