Today's Inspiring Thought

2011-01-17T04:50:00.000-08:00

Believe me, I AM -- GOD IS, and I AM a happy camper!

The first day of the rest of my life! This day couldn’t get here fast enough. Indeed a new day, a New Year, a new beginning, a new life for me, and I’m feelin’ good, yeah. “Birds flying in the sky, you know how I feel…”

I have so much to do, give and receive today. I am full of God’s love, imbued with loving feelings and thoughts. Just trying to give no thought to tomorrow’s problems. Just trying to live in this moment! And what a momentous day it is. “A new day, a new dawn, a new life, feeling good…” There is a feeling across the universe, I feel, that the yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not here yet, and that only leaves now, today. And the moment is now, the time is now, we only have now, now! Wow, how simple and yet how profound.

This ‘now moment’ will never ever happen again for me, for you, for the world, ever again. Today is a new beginning, as every day is a new beginning. Sure, I have my plans for what I’d like to accomplish, projects and errands that need attending to, but I’ve never been so present as I have been, now, because of the energies and the new awakening on planet earth, the new awakening within me, Soul, an eternal being, that has no beginning and no end… But now, my today is different. I don’t just believe. I know that that there is nothing that I, (Soul) can not do, or become, be a good steward over, and it’s not all about our new president-elect so much as it is that he is an example that “you can if you think you can.” To me, he’s a co-worker with Divine Spirit and the Universe, the Sovereign.

We have a great task before us (not that we didn’t always have that task waiting to be awakened); but now, because the human state exists in visuals, we have seen with our eyes (and in some, our hearts), just how magnificent we all are, made in the image of, I AM -- GOD IS, and that we (Soul) possess all of Its traits, unconditional love….and now all we need now, in this moment, in this today, all we really need now is the courage to be. Today, the mood seems to be flowing from within some of us that positive change is something that I can do. It’s a big challenge and it will take time and stick-to-it-ness and determination to do it.

And how can we begin to become all that we can be? What is a solution, one may ask? The solution is just to do it. Make time, take time, and embark upon living your reality; not anyone else’s, but your reality, which, you may come to realize is in synch with your own unique truth, which in many ways, mirrors his and countless others. Cultivate within you a positive outlook that the outcome will be the best that, that you’ve done the very best that you can do. But most importantly, do it with love and for love. Love is the catalyst that keeps on giving. And don’t ask why… why am I not just doing it, or getting it? Why am I wavering in taking the next step? Do not go backwards. Go forward. Don’t go backward in thought, deed or action. Words really can’t express how grateful I am to be awake and present today, in the year 2011, a time of change, and living a modicum of positive change, compared to yesteryear and being a witness of all the blessings that have been stored for me for so long, one of which is unfolding today.

If you have the courage to be great, which you already are, use this declaration daily, aloud or silently: “If I want it to be – it’s up to me”. I won’t say that I repeat it 100 x a day, but I do declare it many times throughout the day, and believe me, that truth has made, and is making a difference in my world, for the good of the whole.

Blessings,

Brenda

How to Let Go and Let God

2011-01-17T03:54:00.000-08:00

Letting go and letting go and letting God handle things sometimes means finding new ways to help yourself to the peace you truly desire, and have inherited, the greater health and wholeness you want and deserve.

It’s important that you open your heart to receive the guidance that comes to you, as simple as nudges or quiet urgings or Golden Tongue Wisdom. This is when someone either says something directly to you or you may overhear, even a lyric or a song that answers a question for you or confirms or guides you in some way or another out of a dilemma or a decision you need to make.

Remember always to be open to new ways of discovering the blessings that have been stored for you. Give yourself permission to change your direction and move forward. Practice the art of allowing and allow Divine Spirit reveal new methods of accepting your true inheritance, your blessings.

Be flexible and open to new ideas, new ways of thinking, seeing the glass half full instead of half empty. Practice being confident and you will be. Learn how to let go of preconceived ideas and practices. How often have you heard yourself say, ‘Oh, I’ve always done it this way?’ and has that been working for you over the years, I wonder…

Daily, and consciously, remind yourself when you pray, chant, meditate, or contemplate: ‘I am willing to let go and let God handle all.’ If doubt persists, consciously and deliberately respond to each negative thought or feeling about someone or some one thing, with the knowledge that you are a co-worker with God and the Universe. Consciously be aware that alone, you can do nothing, but being in alignment, in the vortex, if you will, there is nothing you can not do or become. Do not continue to try to ‘control challenges,’ instead be mindful of letting go and letting God, Divine Spirit, be in the driver’s seat. Take time to relax physically and, emotionally and mentally, practice forgiveness, starting with yourself, seek peace, strength, healing, faith, courage, thereby finding your own happiness.

"The good thing about the past is that it is over.” ~ Richard Bandler, Co-founder of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and try living in the moment and die to your old self daily and to the past. Remember to share with others, live like sisters and brothers, and know that ‘Success is a journey, not a destination…’

Blessings,

Brenda

Day 4: GRATITUDE QUOTE-Graceful

2009-09-04T14:51:00.000-07:00

A graceful life is found to be the natural life. Everything stems from having an attitude of gratitude and thankfulness. Do the best you can -- be the best you can be, give the best you are capable of giving.

In so doing, giving and being the BEST, we are expressing the divine nature of God, the Divine. Therefore, we are trying to be the highest it's possible to be. All things are possible!

"If you are filled with the blessings of God, you will certainly be someone who lives gracefully and graciously with others."

Blessings,

Brenda

GRATITUDE EXERCISE:

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference. It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

*If after having practiced this exercise today, you experience change in any way, in your life, I would love to hear about it. Brenda@BeeBlessedDaily.com

Practice Being Grateful

2009-09-04T14:19:00.000-07:00

When I am able to see an improvement over yesterday, even if it’s small, I have grown a little and I’ve taken a first step forward in taking charge of my own world. When problems arise in my life, I take them in stride. I no longer allow problems or worries twist me into a nervous wreck. When I truly listen, with my heart and not my mind, I am able to hear God speaking to me. The voice I hear is not a roaring sound from on high but a still small voice coming from within. God speaks to me simply, down to earth, maybe an inner nudge on how to do something in a different way or view a situation or circumstance from another perspective, the kind of help that I can relate to.

Each morning I start my day with gratitude! I make a written list of everything that I’m truly grateful for, from the subtle to the profound. Sometimes I make a mental list. I even find the courage to be grateful for the challenges I’m facing at any given time. This helps me to see myself being transformed into the Spiritual Being that I am. Consciously what happens is when I begin to change my inner space, my thoughts, and redirect my emotions, away from what I’ve been doing and getting the same result, it’s then and only then that I begin to see the light and gain the light of understanding.

The direct benefit for me is that when I begin to practice what the light has given me. Does it happen overnight, a week, month, year, five years, 10 years, maybe not, but over time, the more I put into practice, or even have the intent to practice my enlightenment, the closer I get to being the best spiritual being that I can be.

Blessings,

Brenda

Divine Spirit often begins working for our welfare after we have made some small effort first. The love and protection of Spirit surround you at all times but must be accepted with a loving heart. Harold Klemp A person who lives in the moment is always looking for the potential of whatever that moment may bring, always, minute-by-minute-by minute. Just just keep holding on.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE: Consciously enjoy every moment of this day. Go beyond belief and know that you are loved beyond measure.

Let Nothing Disturb You

2008-03-09T17:24:00.000-07:00

"Let nothing disturb you.
Let nothing frighten you.
All things pass. GOD does not change.
Patience achieves everything. Whoever has
GOD lacks nothing. GOD Alone suffices."

~St. Teresa of Avila

Principles

2008-03-05T08:44:00.000-08:00

Spiritual principles are embodied in everything we do, say, think and how we act. If we think they are not there, it is simply because we can't see them or recognize them.

BACKWARD AND FORWARD©

I missed one morning of not journaling and feeling guilty as hell! But, I’m back at it, thank God! A small voice from within me, whispers, “This is a test -- do all that you have agreed to do.” “I will, I will,” I cried! I promised myself then, to do that for myself every day and I have kept that one promised made many years ago.

I had a dream one night a few months ago about a white car; it was traveling in reverse, up an incline. Alongside the hill stood a female observer who kept repeating the words, “interesting, interesting…” There was a spiritual lesson in this for me but I did not know exactly what it could be. After a day of contemplation, what I came up with was that I was traveling backward in my spiritual unfolding. I accepted that truth and thought no more about it. Over the next couple of days, I began to think about leading a book discussion class, but I didn’t have a title of any one particular book that I wanted to discuss. One morning after practicing a spiritual exercise, singing the word HU (an ancient name for God and a holy sound, for me, a love song to The Creator).

Being silent for a few minutes in contemplation, I glanced up at the ceiling of my living room. I saw some imperfections in the stucco that I’d surely seen before, but never really seen, if you know what I mean. There were three jagged lines and they formed the letter “Z”. This has a great significance for me; it’s part of a nickname of my Spiritual Guide, Wahl Z.

My mind had began to wander about the duties and challenges that I faced, and my first thought was that this was a way for the Master to get my attention, to have me focus my attention on more of the infinite and the divine. What a revelation I thought! I then got my day started. I checked my e-mails, wrote letters and sent cards to friends, called a few people I hadn’t shared with in awhile. It was then that I remembered I hadn’t read anything uplifting to start my day. I glanced across the room and saw a book lying on a chair; I walked across the room, picked it up and opened the book at random.

I opened the book to a story in which the Master, the outer form of my Spiritual Master, told about a dream of a woman, also a spiritual seeker. He said, “Here is a spiritual dream, so that when you have one you will have a measure to compare it with.” I’d no idea how close to home it hit for me! The story was about a lady who was standing alongside the ocean. She was looking at the mounds of sand and found some booklets buried there. A Spiritual Master was there and read the message from one of the booklets for her. The message said, “You’ve won a white used car”. What stood out for her was that it was a “used” car. She wondered, “Why not a new car?” Still hoping for a “new” car, she pulled another booklet from the mound and the Master read, “You’ve won $113,000 in groceries.” Then the spiritual meaning became clear for her (as it did for me) that she’d taken a step backward in her spiritual life. The seeker was shocked to see just how attached she’d become to worldly things – and so was I!

“Wow,” I said aloud! This was proof positive for me that I too had taken a step backward in my spiritual life. I too had become attached to the material things, and this was a sure confirmation that I sought. It left no doubt that I’d interpreted my dream in exactly the right way -- the same way! I couldn’t have hoped for nor asked for an interpretation or proof more clear than what I’d received.

The spiritual significance of a car, for me, is that it most often represents a state of consciousness. A car, like a state of consciousness, transports you from one point to another; you travel (in both the outer world and the inner worlds) to another level or destination. Though I’m not sure if the car in my dream was a used car, the point was that I was trying to travel up hill – in reverse! I’d been trying to gain a higher state of consciousness by traveling in reverse on my journey to higher ground. This was quite a humbling revelation.

A friend, who is an exciting and creative artist, gifted me with a small picture-like postcard. In the painting, there is a beautiful little red car traveling up a steep incline, a hill. The scene is filled with all kinds of foliage, green grass, flowers, blue skies and yes, a few clouds. I love that picture; it’s just one of my favorites. Seated in the back seat of the red car is a woman smiling, appearing to be enjoying her journey uphill. Actually, the woman seated in the back looks a lot like my friend. But this particular morning, the woman in the seat took on another identity. The woman is me! It is I who sits in the seat of the little red car – this time, traveling uphill!

This revelation has allowed me to travel more easily into the higher planes, into higher states of consciousness. What a way to start the day I thought. And to think, I’m the best today, than I’ve ever been spiritually in all my lifetimes!

This is how I start my day, every day, with the thought that I am the best today than I’ve ever been spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. And because I love words and because words are so powerful, I speak those words to me, Soul, to the Universe, to the heavens, into the ethers -- this is my daily promise to myself, my declaration.

Love and Blessings,

Brenda

Thouhgts and Words -- Something to Think About

2008-03-03T06:12:00.000-08:00

Dear Friend,

Here is something to not only “think about” but seeds that can be contemplated or meditated upon as you go about your busy lives today. We're all are, I would I guess, endeavoring to become a truth unto ourselves (if we're not already there) “so that wherever we are, we RECOGNIZE [emphasis added] the presence of God..." and see the God in other beings.

“Thoughts, words, and acts are seeds sown, and, by the inviolable law of things, they produce after their kind. - Above Life's Turmoil Thoughts are powerful as are our actions. Words too are powerful. I put effort into using words to uplift, bring light, encourage and empower but words can be dream-killers also. You know the old adage, “It’s not what you say -- it’s how you say it.” Well, it’s true. I say it’s true because it is for me. I learn a lesson in that area every single day in my journey here on planet earth. In the not too distant past, I used many dream-killer words, not really giving thought to the words that I spoke to myself as well as to others. Like, when asked, “How is life treating you?” My response would sometimes be like, “My life sucks, right now,” or when challenges were coming every which way, “When it rains it pours.” Mm, now that I’ve learned (am still learning) that when speaking in that manner, I was only manifesting more of those thoughts into my world and as I look back, I now realize the truth was that I got more of those thoughts that I turned into words and my life reflected it.

A Spiritual Law or Universal Law, “when we speak something we give power to it.” When we increase our belief in some on thing, anything, we give power to it.” What words are you thinking, what words are you speaking? Many people just love to “speak” their mind. How many times have you heard (or maybe you’ve said it yourself), “I’m the type of person who speaks my mind!” Well, the mind sometimes get in the way of the heart, or what you really want to say and will oftentimes lead you to say what you wished to say, the wrong way. Think about the connection between the words you speak and the challenges that you’re experiencing.
Teachings of most all faiths to one extent or the other, acknowledge that the spoken word has “power.” “Hindu writings tell of yogis that have used mantras to light fires, materialize physical objects like food and even influence the outcome of battles. In the Christian Bible, we find these words in the Gospel of Mark, "those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." So, I would like to suggest you, “Say what you mean, but don’t be mean saying it.” Mm, something to think about…

Love and Blessings,

Brenda

The Future is Now

2008-03-02T19:33:00.000-08:00

Dear Friend,

THE FUTURE

"The future comes one day at a time.” -- Dean Acheson

"At the center of the universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. Anything we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.” -- Fred Rogers

"Goals are a preview of future events and experiences in your life.” -- Mark Victor Hansen

"When you focus on what might have been, it gets in the way of what can be.” -- Patricia Fripp

How about that -- that the future is now, today, not tomorrow or the next day or weeks or months or years away, it’s right here in this moment. One day at a time is all there is, really, today, this moment, right where you are now. What are you doing about the future in your day, today? That’s the true question and one that I ask of myself most often these days. The truth to this question for me is, all that I am capable of. And being aware of my true self, I’m capable of doing great things in my future, in my today, and endeavor to do it one day at a time. One of my goals is to be and live in the moment, truly, not just give lip service to that. There is nothing I can not do, or be, or become. I must endeavor to hear the sound, and listen; listen to the voice of The Creator all around me, within me and within all humankind.

“Listen to the voice, hear what its saying, hush…”

Love and Blessings,

Brenda

Everything You Do

2008-03-02T11:47:00.000-08:00

"The principles of the spiritual life are embodied in everything that we do. If we think they are not there, it is simply because we can't see them or recognize them."

My suggestion and a spiritual exercise to use is to do your best in everything you do, say, think feel and how you act. Do it for the good of the whole and for upliftment. Declare it to be a karmaless act.

Love and Blessings,
