BEING FULLY PRESENT, OPEN AND WILLING

I will know peace when . . .

I am fully present in love in order to experience to full benefits of love.


There are many ways to exit a relationship. You can exit mentally by demonstrating that you are preoccupied by more important thoughts. You can exit emotionally by finding somewhere else to express and experience your passion. You can exit physically by finding ways and excuses for not being present. Or, you can leave spiritually by removing your trust, your respect, your love, your compassion from what you do and what you say.



Sometimes we exit a relationship because of unresolved feelings of anger or betrayal, stemming from past experiences. More often than not we exit a relationship because we feel we are not getting the love we need. Unfortunately, we often blame the other person when our desires are not met. In reality, we haven't asked for what we want or need.



How often have you honestly expressed to your partner exactly what you want or why you want it? When was the last time you shared with your partner how you will feel when you get it the thing you need? How can you expect to get what you want if you don't ask for it? How can you expect to receive the things you say you want if you are not physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually present to receive them?



There are some cases when we know, without a doubt that the time has come to leave a relationship. This is not the kind of exit we are examining here. We are talking about taking your mind, your body, your heart or your soul out of where you are being loved because you are not getting what you have not asked for. This type of exit is not only self destructive, it is a sure-fire way to ensure that you never get the very thing you say you want. Could it be that you really don't believe you deserve it?



Until today, you may have remained in a relationship that you exited a long time ago. Just for today, be present enough to ask for what you want, and remain present long enough to receive it.



Today I am devoted to being fully present, open, and willing to receive the things I say I want in a relationship!

IAM THE WINNING KIND

You survived 100,000 other sperm to

get here. What do you mean you

don't know what to do?

- Les Brown


The best-laid plans and strategies are useless unless you expect to win. And you must know you are going to win before you start. When you know you are going to win, you can prepare your victory speech and what you will wear to the awards dinner the day before it is announced. When you are a winner, you learn how to take a win no matter how it comes -- whether by default, an interception, a fumble or when it comes right to you through the air. Never let a win catch you unexpectedly. Take your wins in stride. Know they are an everyday occurrence for you because you expect to win from the beginning. Never let words of doubt or fear cross your mind; they are the only things that can steal your win. Win big. Win small. Win it for yourself. WIn it for others. Know what a win will look like for you, and when it comes, chalk it up to life.

I Am the winning kind.

HAPPY FOR NO REASON

Be happy to give of yourself, and you’ll be happy. Be happy to make the effort, and you’ll be happy.

Be happy about working through the challenges, and you’ll be happy. Be happy for the opportunity to transform problems into achievements, and you’ll be happy.

Happiness does not come when you try to obtain it. Happiness is a quality that you can choose to add to any experience.

Happiness does not come from arranging your circumstances in a certain way. Rather, happiness is a very powerful, effective and delightful way to relate to any set of circumstances.

Be happy to be living this moment. And not only will you be happy, you’ll also be creative and effective and purposefully focused.

Choose to add your very own happiness to the ups and downs and ins and outs of life. Be happy for no reason and for every reason, and experience life at its best.

— Ralph Marston
