Smiles, Knowledge, Wisdom and Candy Crush

It has power the simple smile, power to lift a spirit, enhance a moment and change a perception forever.  A smile sent your way and high expectations to follow today.

First a quote shared.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts.  Facts can obscure the truth.

Maya Angelou

It is a quiet Sunday here, nature outside singing its song.  The sun rising and the wind a soft breeze caressing all in its path.  I top it all off with a hot cup of coffee which ever so slowly goes to warm and fills the room with a fragrance all its own.  The day flows with near perfection thus far.

The importance of starting your day in a manner befitting natures perfection all starts with us.  Always has and always will.   First we must acknowledge that we all were created with no flaws, no imperfections, no mistakes and realize that we allow no trash talk or false beliefs to change our reality.

We start the day with a smile and one simple prayer to that creator and that is the prayer that says 'Thank You'.  For that simple prayer of thanks is truly all that is needed.   Our creator, the one who knows all, understands all, and gives only what we can handle and when we are ready for it does not needs us to ask for anything, as if asking would make it so.  The only prayer needed for us is Thank you and a morning filled with gratitude will carry us farther than a morning of hope and doubt and anxiety.  

Follow up with a quiet 10 - 15 minutes of quiet meditation and reflection and just hush.  Listen to nothing but the silence all around you.  Close off all self talk and just listen for your inner spirit to guide and disassemble any worry or angst that may be present.  Just listen and be still.

O' the noise we allow into our life.  The self doubt that we attach to the perfection we all have been made with.  We rush and we hurry and we often take little time to be grateful and still, saying to ourselves we have no time for such but yet with no rush or great expectation engage in countless minutes of Candy Crush with hopes of brilliance to follow.  How can we have time to be still and quiet?

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. 

For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand,

 while imagination embraces the entire world, and 

all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Albert Einstein

Embrace the power of your imagination.  Imagine yourself on the journey to awesome.  Not the road to average, or the road to good but imagine arriving at awesome.  Not just one day but today and everyday.

Imagination is indeed more important than knowledge.

Recently I listened to an audio book by Jon Acuff with the title 'Start'.  A great listen and an awesome message and I place a link just click on the author and title.

He writes how we all have the power to rid ourselves of doubt, fear and go from average to awesome just by making it so.

Sure this requires knowledge and yes there will be failures and adjustments but once we make the commitment to just move forward on that journey and decline any other detour or hazard to hold us back, we will indeed get to awesome.

It starts with a belief and action that it will be so.

Commit * Act * Believe *  Endure

Your worth that you the most perfect creation ever designed.

Imagination will always overcome with action and belief and endurance just commit to that and smile and give thanks along your journey to awesome.

Sharing a smile with you today and always and may your day and everyday be blessed : )

Letting go and using two hands to keep a grip on the gift and embracing the good

We postpone the finality of heartbreak by clinging to hope.

Though this might be acceptable during early or

transitional stages of grief, ultimately it is no way to live.

We need both hands free to embrace life and accept love, and

that's impossible if one hand has a death grip on the past.

~KRISTIN ARMSTRONG,

O Magazine,

Feb. 2007

It's hard letting go.  It could be a death of a loved on, a death of a relationship or just letting go of a job because of the economy.  It is painful no doubt about and above all you have to go through the pain, you need to transition to a higher plane to be able to move forward.

Not saying you should not remember the good and the great of the things you passed.  You need to remember the good and the great of that person, or job.

But when we grip to tight on the past, ultimately we have less control of our present and the future.  We can not get a firm grip of the present with one hand still holding onto the past.

Remember the past, you bet.

Let the past effect your future relationships, your future trust factor's.

No that is not the way we should live.

Today is a gift.  The 86,400 seconds we get everyday we can't stop.

They move on.  They are not in our control.  They are a resource that is a gift and we need to search for the joy and happiness in each moment.

We need to look up and forward and take time to enjoy 'the moment'.

It is hard, to focus on the now when the past is to fresh in our heart.  Our spirit aches but after 48 trips around the sun I have learned through those years that we are in control, of our thoughts, our emotions and our reactions.

Live your life with love in it.  With laughter and joy.  Share your smile first with you in that mirror and use your affirmations that I shared with you yesterday or you created for yourself and march on into your day.

The seconds in your life tick on.  Tick, tick, tick ---- three more seconds fall away but as long as you understand the importance of each second and the importance of living your life for the good of the cause.

The cause you ask --- to be happy of course.  To serve another.  To love and be loved and to make a difference to another.

Smile on my friend let those burdens be carried away by God.

Let those tears wash away the pain and give gratitude not for what you lost, but for what you got to share in.

Those things, those bright colored memories, let them shine over the dark.

Let them help to brighten your day, lighten your load and let your light shine on for another.  For one day your light will dim and it will go out but the memories you left behind will keep someone else's day a bit brighter for them.

Shine on!

Smiles for you this day : )

Love and laughter 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 : )

The journey is often much better than the destination

“All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost.”

~J.R.R. Tolkien

Thank you Mr. Tolkien, for sharing this quote. Much wisdom found within these words thats for sure.

How often we run after the golden ring, we reach out, even stretch for it and when all the hours are put in often the ring is placed out farther or another that we think will glitter more is put before us.

The gold when we capture it does not have that glitter that we thought it would.

Life is like that, we chase what we think will make our lives more profitable.  We live to work at times instead of working to live.

We evade our true passion and love for the small times instead of using our passion and love for the majority of the time.

If you love what you do for work you will never work another day in your life.... You have heard that right?

So those that wander the world, that look at the world with possibility and promise instead of limitations and denial are indeed the benefactors of creativity and invention.

Look at those who wandered the earth in search of more.

Those back in the times of Jesus that followed him on his journey.

Those who crossed the Atlantic Ocean in search of America.

Those who dared to find a way to fly.

Those who searched the heavens for stars that took the time to map them out so we may navigate.

Those who tried time after time to use materials to make a light bulb.

Those who invented a talking box we call radio.

Those who invented a pocket size mp3 player we call the Ipod.

The wandered..... They searched for answers and failed and learned until they succeeded.

We can do that, can't we?

When the troubles seem great and the footing seems unsure we can wander through it .... can't we?

They did and we can and we will.

The power of laughter shared even when it is just with ourselves.

The power of a simple sincere smile to light up another's spirit.

The power of prayer, giving thanks to God for all placed in our life, the resource of life, the angels that protect, the wisdom we listen to in those quiet moments.

The power of gratitude, understanding it and embracing it.

We must all start to look at gold as a result of hard work, not the work that we resolve to live our life over and over missing out on the simple and grand things of life.

We must all use the power of prayer, gratitude, laughter and the smile.  Use for all that come in contact with us. Use for good and for the future of our existence.

So another quote from Mr. Tolkien sure I leave you with this one:

“The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.

The chances, the changes are all yours to make.

The mold of your life is in your hands to break.”

~ J.R.R. Tolkien

With that I send you on your way.  To wander and to play.  May your day be filled with joy and may happiness and laughter stay.

May your smiles be full and bright, may they give others light.

May your day be filled with joy and share that joy with all your might.

So smiles I send to you right now.

Smiles that will warm your day even when troubles are in your way.

The prayer that they will leave when you wander from them and find the better path on the road less taken.

Dream big, love always, smile forever! : )

Make a difference today and as always Smiles sent your way : o )
