I wrote the note below titled Stand Firm

for Ann this morning, who faces a somewhat

bizarre maneuver by a fellow manager to co-op

one of Ann's staff members. 

 

After I finished the note, I thought that maybe

this note was a little too strong and sifted

through my unpublished notes looking for

a replacement.

 

I came across the second note listed below

titled What Needs To Be Done, realizing

it also had a similar message. Then, I

understood the message being delivered -

that it is important for those who pursue

a positive spiritual approach to understand

there is nothing about positive New Thought

based spirituality that is passive.

 

In fact, it requires that we live up to the

courage of our convictions. So here are

two notes to support this attitude of confident,

courageous, self-preservation - understanding

that needless self-sacrifice is not required

or warranted.

 

Let the lions beware!

 

STAND FIRM 

 

Today, protect what is rightfully yours

refusing to be swayed or convinced by

those who do not have your best interest

at heart and would undermine what you

have created and built.

 

Today, reject any plan or notion that defies

logic – used by  those who would enhance

their position or power by asking you

to give up yours - by using and promoting

cooperation when in truth they only have

their own self-interest in mind.

 

Today, stand firm and committed to ensuring 

fair play, decency, and compassion –

strengthening the foundation of your

resolve to be treated with respect, dignity,

and careful consideration – leaving your

world whole and viable.

 

AT G. 1.3.2013

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

 

Do not let anything or anyone impede the

progress towards the attainment of your

goal today – the accomplishment of the plan

you have envisioned and set in motion –

knowing all is in readiness for your success.

 

Do not allow any thought to muddle the clarity

of your pursuit – refuse to accept any notion

that might cause confusion or misdirection –

keep focused instead on the end result –

knowing this is your destination.

 

Do today what needs to be done with energy,

enthusiasm, and commitment marshaling

the resources needed to see your plan to

completion – bringing all to the final product –

the culmination of a coordinated effort in

synchronized accomplishment.

TODAY

 

I greet today with clear expectations,

positive it will unfold in my favor

with a twist of this and a dash of that

to season the bland moments, waking

the senses to fresh potential, spicing

up each encounter with new life.

 

I know today I must be an active ingredient

with thought focused and heart set I dive

into this day ready to immerse myself

with optimism and expanded expectation,

realizing I was meant for all I do imagine –

fully ready to catch my good fortune.

 

I will today approach each new blessing

as it arrives, grateful and thankful for

its added dimension to the nourishment

of this marvelous brew, lifting my glass

to all who have contributed to its making –

revived by its essence once more.

INTO PLACE

 

Today all things fall into place,

all resolutions are found, each obstacle

dissolves as it evolves into viable solutions,

every dispute finds a positive outcome,

as turmoil morphs into doable, fixable.

 

Today all things fall into place as you

take the lead with a clear plan of action –

knowing you have what it takes to do

what needs to be done – always confident,

always prepared to move forward with

enthusiasm and purpose.

 

Today, as all things fall into place, and

the order is restored,  know you are always

supported and protected by the power

and grace of  God – that through your

connected efforts you are always

prepared to overcome.

We all carry within us a heartfelt prayer

of what we envision our heaven on earth

to be - every day we are called upon to dust

off our original intentions, as our minds

question the feasibility of this dream.

 

In order to succeed, we must be prepared

to fight off our mental exhaustion and

connect again once more with the joy of

our original fervent designing. May the

note below assist all of us and serve as a

reminder of our intended destination.

 

OUR HEARTFELT PRAYER 

 

Today we turn our eyes towards future

happiness, envisioning ourselves within,

living a life so fulfilling we know a touch

of grace has tapped us for this glorious

occasion, earnestly we lay the bricks

of our intention to ensure the vision finds

its form, unwavering.

 

Today we turn our hearts towards a life

so appealing we smile and shine at a

simple glimpse of it, setting our desire

to ensure its full attraction, its welcome

arrival into our experience, open to the

joy it has in store for our days ahead.

 

Today we turn our souls towards complete

thanksgiving for what waits upon our

arrival, this glimpse of heaven on earth

we see on the horizon, the waiting joy

of a life first simply conceived then

given shape by our fervent designing –

our heartfelt prayer.

Finding, maintaining, and sustaining

the purpose of both our physical and

spiritual lives is at the heart of the message

of Finding God On The Train.

 

There are times when I get off-track and

need to be reminded that my dedicated

striving has gotten lost in the translation

somehow, and I need to regroup, refocus,

and set out again.

 

The note below serves as such a reminder

when purpose needs reinforcing. 

        

DEDICATED STRIVING

 

Today let us reach out to fulfill our purpose –

the reason we do what we do – the worthy

goal we aspire to – the mission inspiring

our action giving meaning to our efforts-

the passion that pushes us forward.

 

Today let us realize it is this empowered

effort – this motivated striving that makes

our lives worth living – that reaches deep

within and ignites the essence of our spirit,

making us whole and one and authentic

once more.

 

Today, let us be and act from this point

of divine clarity – no doubt able to

dissuade us – no excuse able to deter us –

no negative reasoning able to convince us

that we are not now purposefully engaged –

instead fully ready to heartily grasp our

dedicated striving.

Why is it that the day I least feel like

getting up and cooperating, I am often

summoned  to stop whining and get on with it.

I woke up and it was still dark and very cold,

the hard rain was pounding the roof, and since

it is my job to take the dogs out, get Ann's

tea and of course write her morning note, which

as you know often finds its way on the blog post

for the day, I could not roll over and ignore

the alarm.

 

I felt nauseous, my back hurt, and I was running

late. I decided not to write Ann's note, sure she

would understand I was not up to it. Anyway,

the dog's were a mess I had to dry them off.

Ann did not seem all that eager herself to get up

and going, as I repeatedly let her know she was

running out of time. Ann's work continues to be

a daily struggle, so I understand why she was

not all too anxious to get up and out.

 

As I sat in the library convinced I was justified,

I heard a familiar non-sympathetic voice saying,

"get up and get your paper and pen and write

Ann's note." One thing I have learned to do

over the past six years is listen to guidance, so

I got what I needed and in moments the inspiring

note below appeared - with me being thankful

for what seemed to be words of personal

encouragement.

 

Later, when Ann came out of the bedroom

holding the note, I admitted that I was going

to skip writing the note, but felt what I wrote

was directed more at me than her. She turned

and said, "this note is exactly what I needed

to get going today, I will take it with me and

read it over and over. This note is for me.

Thank you for writing this note." 

 

And now, I offer the note for anyone who

may need some words of inspiration to get

up and out.

 

UP AND OUT

 

Today we call on strength, we call on wisdom,

we call on all we can muster to set in motion

our positive approach to this day, refusing

to be ambushed by our own attitudes – our

own hesitant step – our own confusion.

 

Today, in one perfect clear motion, we rise

to the occasion knowing we are ready and

able to move full throttle forward, and through

this simple clear intention, reconnect with

our purpose – emblazoned by our perfect

belief  - our ongoing mission.

 

Today we shake off the throws of sleep,

stand erect and continue on triumphant –

knowing we will not be overtaken from

perceived weakness, but emboldened by

our sheer tenacity and strength of will –

clear-headed and victorious.

STEP BACK THEN FORWARD

Today let us step back and take a moment

to gain perspective on all those aspects of

our lives that create concern, appear to be

working less than hoped for or expected -

to see them fresh and fully once more,

allowing each to be what it is without

stress, anxiety, or confusion.

 

As we step back, let us release our

preconceived notions of what should be

happening or occurring, and consider,

instead, how we might incorporate this

less than suitable situation into our

lives now – working the unworkable

into a new, fresh approach.

 

Let us, in turn, step forward today

with this fresh approach, willing to live

with and through these less than perfect

moments, allowing each to evolve and

find its proper place, as we grow stronger

from the challenge – wiser from this

unwelcome inconvenience.

CHERISH THE DAY

 

Let us cherish today – the adventure

that awaits our living – perhaps

to surprise us, to thrill us, to help us

recognize all we have, to send our

imaginations racing, to have our hearts

soar, to bring us a bit of heaven on earth.

 

Let us cherish today - thankful we are alive

to meet it, fit enough to enjoy it, awake

enough to rejoice in it, ready enough to

embrace it with open arms and a clear

soul to understand its gift – another day

to grow within God’s world.

 

Let us cherish today – grateful for each

moment we are graced to live – healthy,

whole, sturdy, and viable – alive in the

glorious miracle of life surrounding us –

so let us not let it go without our full

and complete attention – intention –

ready to drink every drop of the elixir.

The positive spirituality movement, often

referred to as New Thought, is focused on

the power of positive thought in creating

our lives. As the Affirmative Thought below

titled A Better Explanation conveys -

if we change our thoughts we change

our lives. Maybe it's as simple as finding

a better explanation.

 

A BETTER EXPLANATION

 

Today, let us remind ourselves that our thoughts

are things and possess a power to work good

in our lives, the power to help us rephrase the

life we find ourselves in now, setting a new

and more positive one in motion.

 

Today, let us turn our attention from what is

and towards what we wish, prefer, or desire

it to be – to find the words to form a more

pleasing thought, a better explanation of the

life we intend to live.

 

Today, let us shine a new light on ourselves

and the world – brightening the possibilities,

uncovering the potential, reflecting the real

worthwhile purposeful existence, always

ours for just a sincere and credible thought –

the life we with God have always intended –

always envisioned.

THE SEEDS

 

Today we have the chance to plant the seeds

of joy, of peace, of love, and of happiness

in our lives and watch as these thoughts sprout,

grow, and bloom into the life of our dreams,

of our intent, of our inner most desire.

 

Today let us understand the power

of these creative seeds that form in thought, 

nourished by our positive emotion to take

root in consciousness, and through our care

and feeding, form to erupt into our perfect

plan created.

 

Today with our seeds in mind, let us begin

tilling with open hearts, setting these seeds

in place, watering and weeding, holding

their image clear and full in our imagination

until our garden takes life, and we, reside

within the splendor we have planted.

of power where all strength resides, where

we touch again our confidence and will

to proceed, succeed, and flourish – knowing

we can handle whatever comes our way.

 

Today let us turn within to our place

PLACE AND PURPOSE

 

Today let us understand we each

have a place and purpose in the world –

an essence so profound and essential

it cannot be repeated or replaced –

this being – our being – expands

the fabric of all existence growing

the consciousness of good.

 

Today let us not take lightly our reason

for being – our intended contribution

to the matter and meaning of life –

our duty to ourselves and all the others

we coexist with to claim our destiny

and maintain the divine order of this

creation.

 

Today let us clear our heads of lack,

of doubt, of the questions of our worth

and realize we are more than we

perceive, more than we imagine, much

more than we give ourselves credit for –

we are the vision of divine perfection

made real, tangible, alive – let us live

it with vigor and dignity.

RISE AND WALK ONCE MORE

 

When doors seem permanently closed

and our way blocked, our progress

impeded, it is at these times we must

knock all the harder and louder –

refusing to be sent away or held

back and through our dedication

demand our rightful entry to our

appropriate destiny.

 

Even when a chorus of “no’s” form a

symphony of denial we must gather

the courage to take the baton in hand

and climb upon the podium prepared

to tap once more in expectation

of a sonorous affirmation.

 

This then is our course of action,

our noble response, our declaration

of creative life refusing to be passed

over or set asunder as we listen to our

own divine nature intently whisper –

rise and walk once more!
