Taking Gratitude In Force (T. G. I. F. )

When you are grateful the world becomes kinder and less aggressive with your spirit.  Your more calm and you see the universe unfold in a different way.

My hope is that gratitude flows abundantly through the veins of your spirit.


Embrace gratitude
like you embrace hope


start 
begin
grateful thoughts 
let them 
sink in

raise your spirit 
to the sky
allow it 
reach up high

for gratitude is a key
that we should share 
with more than thee


truth
someone else may have it a bit worse

the famous quote

I thought my feet were so tired
until I walked upon a man who had none

oh how he would dream for feet that ached
but in his heart he knows his fate

but grateful is he that smiles from within
no matter his fate 
his dreams still begin


open door to abundance

open door to satisfaction

open door to share love instead of jealousy

Open door to share a smile

just as this smile is shared with you : )

Sunday Restoration and Trust

Trust is everything in a relationship with the human spirit. With others and with ourselves the trust is a belief that once depleted doubt only remains.  Trust is key to any successful effort and venture in life.

We risk because of trust.
We love because of trust.

Trust in self and others and have faith in the human spirit.


We must start each day with faith and trust in what we can do

Then we must do it  


Without a doubt Emerson wrote the truth

Self trust is the first secret

Develop and enhance this each and every action made


If you wait for perfection you will be waiting a long time

Trust that you can overcome any obstacle

Then make that obstacle look much smaller than the value of the effort


Imagine if you will, driving in the dead of night with no illumination from any other source.

Trying to drive without your headlights on in the dark is crazy.

Much like trying to navigate through life with no trust

We must have faith in our daily walk

Trust in our creator, in others, and in ourselves

Forget what is behind us for yes that may have shaped you

But you and what you work with today will lead you to a better tomorrow

Trust in that and always remember to smile

As this smile is sent to you : )

Saturday in Your Park of Faith

Faith often can be blind
Faith seldom denied
Faith we walk with it, even when we deny that we do.....


Invisible to the eye
but to the heart we know its there


Necessary 

Is faith necessary

Ask the recovering addict

Ask the mother of a child that is taken ill

Ask the husband waiting for his wife to return from war


We are all the bird that sings when its still dark


Faith

Belief

Knowledge

Reality

That you are made perfect

That you are made to be all that you can be 

That you have everything you need inside your mind, your body, your spirit

That this smile as always is sent your way for you : )

Tuesday Taking Over Your Common Sense

They say some of the smartest people have no common sense, but are they just unafraid to fail.  Do they look at failure as an education and dreaming as a way of creating their future.

Common Sense or Brashness without fear?


Common Sense is learning based on trail and error
Make the same error twice may be called something else


Rolling up your sleeves because sometimes, heck most of the time that's what it takes


Instinct comes from practice 
Genius comes from getting it right over and over again


Laugh a little each day 
Smile more 
Dream always
Trust in yourself

Build upon your faith in you

Smiles sent your way as always : )

Sunday Restoration and Grace


To live like nothing will stand in your way of being happy
To live like the energy of love is surrounding your essence
To live with grace and gratitude

That is to live well 


Faith in the energy and love and power that makes everything 
Faith in the power of a simple smile
Faith that we can and will make a difference if we choose too
Faith


Grace in everything that flows your way
Not to be boastful
Not to be bitter
Not to be angry

Just to be filled with grace 
Each step 
Every step



Believe it
Trust it
Have faith in it

The truth flows because we believe and know it to be true

Belief

As always smiles sent to you :)

Thursday Tune Up of Belief in Self


Now that is function.  Cheat on your fears. Break up with your doubts
Engaged to your faith and marry your dreams
Does that help?

Never give up on the power of belief in ones self.  Trust that you will no let yourself down and keep walking no matter how long the trail may be.  Your another step closer and you just may be ready to open the next door that leads to something amazing!


Are you ready to open that door?

There are some who limit themselves not just by faith but self worth and inside their consciousness they feel limited faith in deserving success.  STOP THAT thought and know that you were/are created to be perfect and designed for greatness.  Each creation was made to succeed not to fail.


So this direction your heading in is it the right one?
Is it inline with your wanted destination?
If not change your course
Believe and have faith in self
Trust in your values
Guide your actions and move forward
The biggest part of any journey is to know your desired course and take action and move forward!


You must a faith in self
You can be successful and happy
You will succeed if you truly do the little things and press on!
It starts with Faith and continues with Action from Self
Dream Big, Plan Always, Have Faith in you and walk on towards your dream!




Smiles as always sent your way : )

Greatest Love of all ~ Quote of the Day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day : ) 02/12/12

I believe that children are our future.
Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
: o ) Whitney Houston

She is gone, a legend and I write this now so I can enjoy the Grammy's tonight as they plan a tribute that I am sure will be emotional.
I grew up with her voice, the movies, the personality.  The love she shared so willing and freely.  She was so above average but made common mistakes as well.
Mistakes we can all relate to our own lives.  Bad choices for the sake of love and to be loved.  Have you ever made and created any of those bad decisions?  My hand raises in the air, yep count me in.
She made me feel normal when she did it. She made a lot of us feel normal.
So we shall miss her. With out a doubt.
But the quote I use above is for all of us who stand behind our children, or nephews and nieces, our grandchildren, our neighbors children.
Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Teach them and show them all the beauty the possess.
Teach them spoken gratitude.
Explain the power of affirmations and self talk that goes on even in their young minds.
Love, share, care and let them lead our next generation. Guide them while their young but as they grow older let them fly a little. Let them be free to believe in dreams, in goals come true.
Let them learn the power of laughter and the simple power of a sincere smile.
We all believe that our children are our future.  So lets start our beliefs take over and let them lead, and trust in what we have shared.  Love and smiles to you all!

Video of the Day



Bible Quote of the Day

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:13


Have a blessed day everyone :)

Worry less about the mountains in your path

“Nobody trips over mountains.

It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble.

Pass all the pebbles in your path and

you will find you have crossed the mountain.”

~ Author Unknown

It is how we handle those small steps to any real challenge that makes all the difference.

Think of all the challenges in your life and you can roll back to the beginning of that and see that you either ignored a step, or thought it would all work out ..... just because.

Life has a pattern and when we alter that pattern and try to wing it without participation things go wrong.

A basketball player can't just make free throws with out practicing for a long period of time to be consistent at their task.

Go back even farther and a small toddler does not keep trying to walk just because he falls a couple times.  No he gets back up and puts his legs underneath him and finds their center to balance themselves then comes the first step.

They don't quit.

They push, and try harder. They keep giving and doing instead of waiting for things to get better.

The basics to a better day.

More rest and sleep.

Breakfast to fuel the body and mind.

Prayer to fuel the spirit and soul.

Gratitude spoke to acknowledge the gifts in your life that are working.

Being that person in the mirror that takes time to do affirmations and smile and acknowledge the greatness in you.

A review of your goals for the day.

A plan - steps and review of those steps to ensure your on the path to success for your daily goal.

Focus on whats working and whats not working and adjust

Taking time to smile, taking time to laugh and taking time to make a difference.

You get to that and your day will improve, it will be better.

You have the power. You have the ability.  Take the time to stay out of those pebbles way.

Prepare to get out of their way.

It is not the mountain you have to worry about or think about.

It is indeed the small pebbles that we often stumble over.

Dream big, Smile often and Love always!

A smile sent your way : )

Always smiles sent your way : )

Affirmations and the Subconscious Mind


You will be a failure, until you impress the

subconscious with the conviction you are a success.

This is done by making an affirmation which "clicks."

~Florence Scovel Shinn

The power of the subconscious mind, it does so much for our actions and beliefs that are 'behind the scenes' of our actual knowledge.

Affirmations can prove to be your best friend for the subconscious mind.

I will share a few at the end, I use them and I feel them play into my life.  That is my personal testimony on the power of the affirmations.

Everything happens for a reason.  Cause and effect. Actions made and reactions played.  There is no pause button in life when we hit play the world records our actions and the energy that we cause to flow both positive and negative will flow back to us.


"The world is a great mirror. It reflects back to you what

you are. If you are loving, if you are friendly, if

you are helpful, the world will prove loving and

friendly and helpful to you.

The world is what you are."

~Thomas Dreier

This year has been very good to me and I will continue to praise God for the good in my life and the world that he surrounds me with.  The love, the kindness and the blessings that I have received are many and I thank him daily.

I thank him for the gift of my children who even now sit with laughter and a smile as they watch a movie or play a game.  I hear that laughter, I see that smile and I rejoice and give thanks to God.

I give thanks to God above for my dogs, Bear and Bella Mia, pictures of these two awesome pets are on my Make ME Smile Online web site and I have great pleasure from seeing them, hearing them greet me and acknowledge their loyalty to the family everyday not just somedays.  They are awesome.

I give thanks to you the reader.  The comments you send to me and the encouragement you have give me each and every day.

They warm my soul and the love and kindness I truly feel.

Thank You All.

I write with a passion, a passion and a mission to make a difference.  To share the knowledge and power of gratitude, the power of a simple smile, and the knowledge of allowing prayer and meditation to flow in your life every day and how it will make a difference.


The game of life is a game of boomerangs.

Our thoughts, deeds and words return to

us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.

~Florence Scovel Shinn


The game of life is playing everyday in your life and in mine.

Play with power, play with passion, play with laughter, play with that sincere smile that can make such a difference in the life of others.

Make a difference, Today!

Affirmation that I trust, and use:


Opportunities and advantages come

with each door that I open.

-----------------------


I AM here for a reason and I live my Life

with deliberate purpose.

-----------------


I rejoice in the Love I encounter everyday

------------------


The two words of wisdom are --- pay attention.

-------------------

Just four affirmations for you to try.  Say them 40x each day. Get these, cut them out and hang them where you get ready for your day, the car, the desk at work.  Use them, embed them in your subconscious and try this for lets say 30 days.

See what happens to you attitude and beliefs.

Add prayer and spoken gratitude and watch out you just may have a better you.  A kinder you, a more successful you, a more loving you, and maybe just a bit more wisdom.

To the last affirmation I think very highly on this one.

Everything happens for a reason, I truly understand and believe that.

Pay attention - Take time and make time to listen - Fuel your subconscious mind with affirmation that will empower your life.

Empower your life to love, to laugh, to experience joy everyday and to become everything you truly want to be.

Dream Big ~  Love Always and know that I send you smiles : )

Today and Everyday!

I send you Smiles.  : o )

Change in the air and in our time


"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned

citizens can change the world.

Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."

— Margaret Mead

I believe with all my heart and spirit in this quote. Apparently the Occupy Wall Street movement does as well.  Apparently those in Egypt, Libya did also.

The Tank Man in June of 1989 believed in this thought.
The video shares the images and some thoughts:

The change that this world is looking for now is very real.

Our founding fathers of the Republic did not invision what we have now.  They served in the government they did not seek this position as a career.

We need to rework our country.  We need to stand up and explain to our leaders what we truly want.  What we need from them.

The only way we do this is to get involved.

Not to be led around in a maze and conformed but to be an active participant in the way our voice is heard.

Does this take effort and work?

Yes

Does this take standing up for what your believe in?

Of course

"Every generation needs a new revolution."

~ Thomas Jefferson

***

"The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to

the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with

difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion.

As our case is new, so we must think

anew, and act anew.

We must disenthrall ourselves,

and then we shall save our country."

~ Abraham Lincoln

12/01/1862

in a Message to Congress

We must Rise.....

 

 

The voice of change is in the air.

We must rise.

We must speak out and stand.  Nothing will come easy mind you but change never is.  Change never is.

I took some time last night and watched some video that can be found on Livestream.com.  The video was some interaction with those in the Occupy Pittsburgh demonstration going on day 5 as of today.  The movement at this point is people of all ages, all different race, all different coming together and having a conversation.

A conversation and a togetherness for change.  That to me is the start of change the coming together and forming a more perfect....no a more improved way to implement change.

Change for our children, and their children.

The next step is to start some type of reform, a reorganization of ideas and placing them within our own individual lives.  Change that will make a difference for those who seek it.

We must rise........

Become the voice of change. If not the voice at the very least listen to the conversation that these groups are trying to have.

Are some of the conversations beyond real possibility?

Maybe but back in the day we didn't think we could ever fly in a plane.

We never thought we could watch images on a box in our living room that we would plug in.

We could not imagine getting rid of our vinyl for our music and replace it with an MP3 player or an Ipod.

The world changed, over time it always does.

But never will the power of a simple, sincere smile...... unless we stop using it.

Never....at least not from me to you.

Saying Hello to the World


Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you.

All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding,

find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.

~Richard Bach

What do you let your eyes see everyday?  What does your perception add to your experience for the day as it unfolds?

Do you see the traffic and start to grind your teeth?

Do you allow your day to pile up on your nerves before it even starts?  Getting your muscles in your neck tight and nerves on edge.

We all have allowed this to happen.  Let the morning news or talk on the radio wind us up or bring us down and let that limit us to the kind of day we really want.

A day filled with laughter, love, progress, success, joy.

Listened to a song late last night from Lady Antebellum the title

Hello World......

I enclose the video here...the words speak volumes.

 

 

The noise we allow to filter through to our heart and the truth that is pushed away.  Amazing the words.  In the song the little girl in the red rust van with just a simple wave, a simple smile that brings new meaning.  Hello World indeed.

We all let the noise of the world make us cold as steal, we all feel broken at times. The worries, the bills, the relationship struggles.

It all adds up.

But with understanding, with faith, with prayer and when we take the time to listen and look at the most important things we will find more joy.

Its there right now.

We will find more laughter.

Its there already. Ready to be accessed.

We will find more success.

The body will function better with less stress.  The mind works clearer when we allow those simple things to become real.  To fill our heart, to fill our spirit to bring joy.

Surrender and believe!

Hello World.....and your day begins with a smile : )

 

As always smiles sent to you this day .... : )
