Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, or nothing at all, I wish you peace this weekend…

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, or nothing at all, I wish you peace this weekend…
Do you have anyone in your life who robs you of your inner peace? I encourage you to remove them from your life. These types of people keep you from living fully.
I understand it will be difficult for a period of time. But time will pass, and you will heal from the “loss.”
Use this time to work on yourself. Look at unhealthy patterns in your life. Then apply what you learned and you will attract more healthy people into your life. I promise…
Are you aware there is a spiritual battle going on around us in a dimension we can’t see? Just because we can’t see it doesn’t make it any less real.
One third of the Angels in this realm are demons. The rest are God’s messengers, fighting on our behalf. Every trouble we have in this world is a spiritual battle. This is one of the reasons why prayer is so important. It demonstrates that we believe in God, that He can and will help us. Further, his word tells us he will.
Let’s step away from trying to control everything. Let’s allow God to do his thing. We will provide backup through prayer.
When you change the lens you see the world through and view everything in the spiritual realm, your mindset changes…
Quiet moments can be uncomfortable. It seems like our brains resist the calm. Yet, when we get away from the noise, our clearest thinking happens.
I encourage you to take a few moments each day to quieten your mind. Just sit in silence. The noise will be waiting when you return…
Are you grateful for all the good in your life? Family, friends, fresh air, clean water and sunshine are some of the things we can take for granted.
Comparing yourself and your life to others can take your focus off of what you have. Then you start concentrating on what you lack. This only leads to frustration and disappointment.
Keep a list of all the things you’re grateful for. Your focus will change, but it will change for the better…
God is still speaking to us. Sometimes He uses other people to get a message to us, while other times we might get His word from something we read. But He isn’t silent, even during the times we aren’t talking to Him.
There’s a lot of noise in the world. Talking heads, blow hard politicians and negative people can consume our energy if we let them. Spend some time in silence every day. Clarity comes when you eliminate the noise…
Our thinking controls our attitude and our outcomes. Want chaos? Think chaotic thoughts. Want peace and clarity? You know what to do…
Being content gives you peace. It doesn’t mean you are devoid of ambition or drive. Not at all. Contentment means you are grateful for all the good in your life. You aren’t taking anything for granted.
I’m more ambitious now than I have ever been. But if I don’t accomplish anything else, I’m content with that…
All of us have “stuff” we need to work through. Trauma from the past or pain from the present, when left unresolved, don’t just magically disappear. We can even try to hide it by making ourselves look good from the outside. That doesn’t work.
We must work on ourselves from the inside. Get to the heart of the problem. Self-work sucks when you’re doing it, no doubt. If it was easy, everyone would do the work. But the life and peace that await you make it so worthwhile…
Judging others drains you of valuable energy. Accepting people as they are opens the door to new ways of seeing life around us. Our minds are open to new possibilities, new creativity.
If people are jerks, keep them out of your circle of friends and acquaintances. You can’t change their hearts. Only God can do that. By limiting their access to your life, you are protecting yourself while still accepting them as they are. Something to consider…
