PEACE and JOY

Hello LWA Seekers of Greater Well-BEing!

I absolutely love this time of year. ‘Tis the season for even more gatherings with family and friends.  Jeff and I are blessed to be surrounded by so many loving people who desire to travel life’s journey with us.  THANK YOU for inviting us into your life, allowing us to get to know you better and share life’s ups and downs.  While it’s also the time of the year for GIVING, it’s also a great time of the year to:  

WISH for what YOU want.  But, as the saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for!”  We can focus on all the material things we want to HAVE, then have to DO so much to get them.  We may then BE someone that is not our true self – an IMPOSTER. 

Let’s all take our WISH LIST to a “higher” level and envision, wish, DREAM to BE the person we were uniquely created to BE, then DO what is necessary, allowing us to HAVE a life of abundance.  I’m convinced we were meant to have a life of peace, joy, and fulfillment.   STEP ONE:  Search for that inner voice that has all the answers.  (NOTE:  Many of you may refer to this voice as the Holy Spirit.)  What is that for you? Will it be someone who chooses to:

• be physically fit, vibrant?
• be calm in a crisis?  
• take talents to the next level?
• spend money wisely and stay within their means?  
• deepen relationships with friends and family? 
• ?????

 If we truly focus on that Inner Spirit inside all of us, full of Gratitude, Contribution, and possibilities for Growth, we will know the person we were meant to BE, and we will know what we are called to DO.  We will discover that we HAVE everything we need.  

During this joyous season, wish for personal PEACE and JOY!  See yourself at peace with life events beyond your control, at peace with difficult people and situations, at peace with your imperfections and shortcomings.  Whenever I’m having a negative thought, I tell myself (quite often!): “I could have PEACE instead of this.”  I then focus on dealing with the situation with empathy and equanimity, being at peace.  It works!  Seek not only PEACE, but a life of JOY.

Give yourself an amazing gift: Peace of Mind.  It’s a choice.  Choice Wisely. Let’s continue this journey.  JOY to the World.  JOY to me and you.
