Relationship Rules

Did you know it is okay to make mistakes?  Mistakes are natural.  We were designed to make mistakes because, used correctly, they help us grow.  Why?  Because every time we make a mistake, there is a lesson to be learned.  When we learn from our mistakes, we reap the benefit.  Each mistake (lesson) grows our character which is a benefit to us and to our soul development.

Don’t be afraid to make a mistake, instead be afraid of “trying to be perfect”.  We would never grow if that were the case.  Look forward and embrace each day, knowing that whenever you make a mistake, you are growing on the inside.   When you change your perception, your life will change from a struggle to an adventure.  The authentic you will have room to blossom.

Faith is a powerful tool, often misunderstood or brushed aside like a candy ~~ sounds and tastes good, but what will it really do for you?  It will get you from point A to point B.  It will give you eyes from which to see anew.  Faith will restore your trust in yourself, and in others.  Faith will bring you closer to God or whatever you choose to call your higher power.  Faith within you will grow and find its way, through you to another, restoring faith in themselves.

Never under estimate the power of faith.  It’s your admission to trust, for you cannot trust if you don’t have faith.  What feeds your faith?  What gives you hope?  Where is your peace?  In order to have faith, hope and peace, begin by releasing your fears.

Each time your release a fear, you restore your faith.  Exhale fear, breathe in faith.  Exhale guilt, breathe in trust.  Release doubt, breathe in confidence.  Release confusion, breathe in divine guidance. Release your heartache and surrender to the One who is breathing your breath right now, then breathe in peace.

You and I are divine beings, taking up this place and time for reasons not yet revealed to us.  Trust your intuition — your still small voice.  Walk the path less traveled.  Its destination is your heart’s desire.  It is your homecoming.  Welcome Home.

Change is a constant, reliable force in our lives.  Our life is changing all the time.  As we go about our daily life, the unexpected happens. Try as we may, we can’t avoid it.   The good news is we can embrace it.  Change is an invitation to not let our circumstances control us.  It is an opportunity to lift  ourself up, act with integrity, and move forward.  What will you choose?

The things in life that matter most become clear to us when we are faced with hard decisions.  When someone says or does something out of the ordinary, how will you respond?  When you receive news that is upsetting, what will you do?  You response will determine the outcome.  Use those moments to learn and grow  — for yourself and for those around you.

What will you do different today?  Before you decide, review your options.  Then pick the one that is kind, is necessary and best for everyone involved.

Singer-songwriter,Tim McGraw said, “We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.”  That means every person you come in contact with has an affect on you.

Whether we are feeling good or feeling bad, being positive or negative, we are contributing to those around us, and to our own well-being.  What affect are you having on those around you?  What thoughts are you feeding your mind?

In times of such uncertainty, it behooves us to monitor our thoughts.  We experience peace of mind when we can filter out fearful thoughts.  Refuse to allow fearful thoughts about the future to weigh you down.  Cancel those thoughts and replace them with positive and encouraging thoughts. Find one that works for you and repeat it often.

Here’s one I use:  I may not know exactly every step I will take in the days ahead, and what the result may be, but I am assured a divine plan will unfold with incredible beauty and grace.  Feel free to use it.

Are you happy with how you spend your time?   Everyday we are gifted with 24 hours.  We decide how to use that time.  We need to eat regularly.  We require an appropriate number of hours of sleep, and then there are the things that have to be done.

Is there something you would like to include in your daily or weekend routine?  The first step is committing to giving time to yourself.  Taking care of yourself is the first step to knowing what you want and what you don’t want.  Once you know what you want, you can stop giving time to what you don’t want.

Make your happiness a priority.  When you are happy the people around you will notice.  They will want to be around you.  Your attitude of happiness will rub off on others and will motivate you to want to be happy.
