Don't Sell Your Soul Out!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
You have soul purpose in this lifetime. Your soul whispers, nudges, prods and pulls and sometimes fairly cries out for you to listen to it's calling. It beckons you to step into your Greatness, to realize and activate your Divine Potential, to stand in the truth of your authentic self.
As you go about your day today and your weekend view yourself, your intentions, your choices and your actions from this new perspective and ask this question-
Every time I do not stand in my truth, every time I compromise my truth, each time I put my dreams and goals on hold, every time I do not pursue my life purpose, every time I let the past or the fear of the future supersede the Present moment -
"Did I just sell my soul out?"
Affirm:
Today I listen to the truth of my soul and follow it to my Highest Good.
Have a Soulful Weekend!

Where is your focus?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today is about focus. Where is your focus?
Many times we focus on other people and what they should be doing, are not doing, are not accomplishing, or the way they are doing things. We drop into judgment and decide to spend our time, effort and energy perplexing about what is going on with "them".
What we are focusing on gives us clues about ourselves.
Perhaps the reason the focus is on someone or something else is to distract ourselves from ourselves and what we need to be doing or accomplishing.
So today become aware of when your focus shifts to someone else and ask yourself this question:
Is there something that I need to be doing, accomplishing or addressing?
When you keep your focus on yourself and what you need to accomplish for the day you will soon discover it leaves little time left over to get involved in someone else's day. And more importantly, you might find yourself too busy enjoying the results of your accomplishments to care what anyone else is doing.
Affirm:
Today I keep the Focus on me and MY goals.

Good Enough!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
"A point worth pondering: Upon completing the Universe, the Great Creator pronounced it "very good." Not perfect." Sarah Ban Breathnach
I love this quote! It reminds me that Perfectionism is about a feeling of not being good enough, right enough, smart enough; a feeling of having to compensate for lack. Doing the comparison game with others for being or doing less than they did.
Gratitude allows for the gift of Acceptance. Accepting that you ARE good enough, smart enough, doing enough. Gratitude keeps your focus on Appreciation for who You are and the things You have accomplished, the good coming into your life.
Gratitude keeps your heart open. When your heart is open you see yourself and everyone else through a softer, lighter lens. When you keep Gratitude and an Open Heart then Life becomes very good, not perfect but Good Enough.
Affirm:
Today I Am Grateful to be Me and I AM good enough!
Have a Very Good Friday!

Relax and just Be You!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Tension is who you think you should be-
Relaxation is who you are- Chinese proverb
It is very stressful to try to live up to everyone else's standards for you, to people please, over commit because you're afraid to say No, do things out of guilt rather than free will, hold back your own thoughts and feelings because someone may not like or agree with you.
Just for today try something different. Be your version of You. Please yourself, commit only to what you really want to do, speak your thoughts and share your feelings with truth and love.
Just for today - relax and Be You! After all no one can tell you you're doing it wrong because you're the expert on you!
Affirm:
Today I relax into just being Me and I am okay with who I am!
Have a Be True to You Tuesday!

You Deserve The Best of Everything!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
The Creator, the Source of All, wants the absolute best of everything for each of us. If we do not have the best of everything in all areas of our lives our ego tells us it must be because we do not deserve it or are not worthy. And many times we buy it because our history - our story- seems to support that.
What if we considered for a just a moment that perhaps what is really happening is that the Universe has been trying to send us the best of everything all along and we have been blocking it from coming into our lives because the story we tell ourselves is that we are not worthy.
Become like the Scientist - conduct your own experiment. Write a new story for yourself.
Your new story is that you are wonderful, worthy and deserving of all the best that the Universe has to offer. Further, that you are OPEN and WILLING to RECEIVE all the best that is on its' way to you.
Whenever the ego tries to tell you the old story line, emphatically proclaim your new storyline:
"I Deserve to have the very Best of Everything!"
The only way to rewrite your old history is to create and live today a bold new story that in a week from now, a month from now, a year from now will become a positive history to reflect on. The ego won't like it but I guarantee you will love it!
Affirm:
I Allow myself to accept the Best of Everything!

Be Happy on Purpose
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
"If you are going to be happy, you're going to have to be happy on purpose." Joyce Meyer
Today make the conscious purposeful choice for happiness. Happiness is an inside job so start within and begin to feel happy and let it radiate out. As you go through your day encountering other people and circumstances, remind yourself that you chose to be Happy today instead of being right, being a victim, being perfect, being critical or judgemental.
Stand firm and committed to your choice of happiness today regardless of the choices of others around you and tonight you will reflect on what a great choice that was. You may even want to do it again tomorrow!
Affirm:
Today I CHOOSE to be Happy on the inside and so I choose thoughts, feelings and actions that reflect happiness on my outsides.

Do You want More New in your Life?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Are you wanting some new things to come into your life? More happiness? More money? More vibrant health? More love? More opportunities? More peace and serenity? More material things? More?
Well did you know that it is unlikely the Universe will send you more of these if you don't take care of what you already have or if you don't make room for the new.
Are you wanting more happiness and love but haven't let go of old resentments and hurts?
Are you wanting more money but you are not a good financial steward of what you do have?
Are you wanting more vibrant health but don't take time to exercise or pay attention to what you eat?
Are you wanting more opportunities but focus on how much you have to do and how little time to do it in and so miss out on opportunities that already exist because you didn't take the time to investigate or pursue?
Are you wanting more peace and serenity but don't take the time to meditate or to pause from your hectic schedule to recharge yourself?
Are you wanting more material things but your garage, car, closets, desk, office and rooms are full of "stuff" that you are holding onto or just haven't gotten rid of yet?
So ask yourself this: Are you giving a conflicting message when asking for more NEW when you are surrounded and stuffed full of the OLD?
Is it really surprising that the NEW isn't here yet because it can't fit into your mind, your thoughts, your car, your home, your spirit, your bank account, your life because there is so much OLD stuff there?
If you want more NEW get rid of the OLD! Take action steps today and continue on an action plan that will clear the clutter and cobwebs from your mind and your life by LETTING GO of the OLD.
Send a consistent message to the Universe about what you REALLY want and back it up by showing the Universe that you have made room for it.
Affirm:
Today I am clearing out and Letting Go of the Old to make room for the NEW!
