“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in
comparison to what lies inside of you.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we truly discover that statement to be true. We as a nation will find the way to change the things we seek change for.
Better education for all, no matter what school district a child goes to.
The protection of our borders and the need to stop playing the world protector of interests.
When education becomes our first line of defense then we will truly be a super power.
Imagine if we truly discovered that statement on education and the importance of our youth.
Discovery is the start to fixing a social condition. There are steps after that but that is the first step.
When we discover who we truly can become with just a positive attitude and a Gratitude Attitude what magic can be made in our life and the lives of those we love.
This holiday season is in full swing, perhaps the best gift we can give ourselves is projection of our true values and desires. Reflection of what we have done right and what could be better for those we love.
A daily quick stop in the mirror to look into and search the understanding and spirit of the reflection. A pause and a peak into the eyes, the windows to the soul and to take the time to truly discover what possibilities reside within. That could be a real discovery. A giant leap for you the spirit and soul seeking a better way, a better day for you and those you care about.
Can we make a difference, truly can we make a difference. Of course we can but we need to start to discover the difference first lies within ourselves.
Discovery can and will make that first step easier. Then its all up to us as individuals to carry on. Move forward, Set goals and action plans. Review the results and modify the plan so that the result we intended truly arrives to completion.
It can be done, it must be done if you want to better your life, your family, and growth.
This weeks affirmation fits here.....
I design my life of purpose. I will use the power of love and mindful words to help in my design and direction of a life of purposeful love. I will not quit, I am successful in everything that I create as I create with intention to make a difference. I am a winner, I am loved and I will share in my abundance of love to empower others.
Trust in these words this week, Say them, repeat them and each day watch the shift in your beliefs.
Words with power, with emotion and words that will help affirm your design of a better you.
Discovery its within each of us right now.
Smiles as always sent your way. Today and always.

Your Daily Prayer
Lord, thank you for today!
Thanks for the gift of discovery and the power to reflect and seek change.
For the power of words and your words that you placed in the Bible.
For the power of words and your words that you placed in the Bible.
May I use words that inspire not tear down.
May words that help to beautify your creation be used in my daily walk.
Thanks for the gift of love may I understand that everything was designed with love and only man and his wrong intentions created hate.
May I do my share to rebuke that.
Help us to become the gift that this world needs.
A bit kinder, more gentle, more in tune with the power and influence we really do all have.
To share to be that beacon of light.
To share a simple sincere smile.
To reach out with our hands and arms to help another person get a foot hold once again.
Help me to make a difference with a simple sincere smile, a kind word or even a act of kindness or love.
I give you praise and the glory for all of that
With humility and gratitude I thank you
Amen
