Diane R.’s Post

The Power of a Grateful Heart I am profoundly appreciative of every single day that graces my life. Today, I embarked on a leisurely stroll with my two faithful canine companions, and as I ventured, I couldn't help but notice that the trees bore fewer leaves, some of which had taken on the endearing shape of a heart. I am imbued with gratitude for the privilege of walking, seeing, and cherishing the exquisite natural world that envelops me. Ikeda Sensei emphasizes the importance of gratitude, as supported by research indicating its positive impact on mental health and cognitive function. Additionally, Buddhism underscores gratitude as a catalyst for a joy-filled life and the accrual of benefits and good fortune. Consider the manifold advantages of gratitude: ❤️ Gratitude and joy have the potential to enhance our good fortune. ❤️ Gratitude provides spiritual sustenance for our continued well-being. ❤️ Gratitude fosters a transformative life state. ❤️ Gratitude fosters connections with others and the world around us. ❤️ Gratitude is the foundation of enduring happiness. I extend my heartfelt wishes for each of you to experience a remarkable day today and every day that graces your existence. I am profoundly thankful that we are connected on this platform,  and wish you an abundance of happiness and joy in your lives.

Life is complicated. How do you get through the hard things of life? Resilience Fortitude Sadly Humility Fearfull Peaceful Angrily Hopeful Drunkenly Patience Violently There are so many choices! Suffering is a part of life. Things won't always go your way. You will be falsely accused of doing wrong. People will go after you to taint your work, brand, and you. People will try to rob you of your dignity. People will steal your good work and call it theirs. People will try to kill your influence and what you stand for. People will try to destroy YOU. WHEN it happens be prepared by already having a strong faith and know that a higher power is with you. Start meditation now so that you can find peace. Create meaningful relationships so that you have someone to text, call, or run to get it out. Find the support group you need now so when that THING rises up you know you are the only one and you have others to talk with. Stop being fake and only interested in yourself and be REAL with someone. Give an offering of your time to someone that needs you to show them the way you use those talents you have. Make a sacrifice of your pride and ego to make the call to apologize to... Trials and tribulations will come. Get prepared now. https://lnkd.in/eAEFWXaS

Spending 10 minutes of quiet time every day can have many benefits for your personal and professional life. Here are some of the positive outcomes you may experience: - Creative ideas flow. When you silence the noise and distractions around you, you can tap into your inner creativity and generate new solutions, insights, and perspectives. You may find yourself coming up with novel ways to approach a problem, improve a product, or express yourself. - Regain peace of mind. In a hectic and stressful world, quiet time can help you calm your nerves and emotions. You can release any negative feelings, worries, or fears that are weighing you down. You can also practice gratitude, optimism, and forgiveness to enhance your well-being and happiness. - Breathing improves. Quiet time can also improve your physical health by lowering your blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels. You can focus on your breathing and practice deep, slow, and rhythmic breaths that oxygenate your brain and body. This can boost your immune system, energy, and mood. - Connection to God. Time of worship. Finally, quiet time can strengthen your spiritual connection to God. You can use this time to pray, meditate, read the Bible, or listen to worship music. You can also reflect on God's love, grace, and purpose for your life. You can seek His guidance, wisdom, and peace in everything you do. Do your best to carve out 10 minutes of quiet time every day. Happy weekend!

“Once we acknowledge that limited time is remaining, we don’t know if that is years, weeks or hours, we are less driven by ego or by what other people think. Instead, we are more driven by what our hearts truly want. Acknowledging our inevitable, approaching death offers us the opportunity to find greater purpose and satisfaction in the time we have remaining.” “There’s nothing wrong with wanting a better life. Don’t get me wrong, it’s just that the chase for more, and the need to be recognised through our achievements and belongings, can hinder us from the real things, like time with those we love, time doing things we love ourselves, and balance. It’s probably all about balance really, isn’t it?” “In their final weeks and days, when all else had fallen away, they could see what potential joy life had offered them, if only they had loved differently. Not every person spoke of regrets. Some people said they would have done some things differently, but were not consumed with actual regret. Some were beautifully content with the life they had led or were at least peacefully accepting. Many others did have regrets though, and had a strong desire to be heard, to have their thoughts known…. Having received such gifts of wisdom, through the regrets they shared, I was determined to not feel the same at the end of my own time, whenever that was…. The potential for fulfilment and pleasure, that each of these dear people caught a glimpse of towards their passing, is what is on offer to every one of us now, before our own death arrives.” “It is a pity that being who we truly are requires so much courage, but it does. It takes enormous courage at times. Being who we are, whoever that is, sometimes cannot even be articulated at first, even to ourself. All we know is there is a yearning within that is not being fulfilled by the life we are currently living. Having to explain this to others, who have not walked in our shoes, may just leave us questioning ourself further.” #readinginspiration #bookstagram #ratingsfordamian : 9 #elissagoodreadtakenote #livingjustbetter #health #healthylifestyle #wellness https://lnkd.in/d7GUnt_V

February 7, 2024 You can have it all. We know those words might be challenging to accept now in your life and world, but we beg to differ. When you begin to understand, accept, and love your unique life journey and what you came to offer your world, you experience having it all. We gave you a message on this date a year ago that will aid you now, as will our live conversation on your new moon. The world needed you and your life experience. February 7, 2023 Love and believe in yourself more. You came to the world during a time of significant change or restructuring, as we termed it, which you will hear others using as well. You have something you are meant to offer to yourself and the world, and as you continue to do so, you will energetically help shift the trajectory of your world, but it does require you to love yourself and believe in your gift. We gave you a message on this day ten years ago as we knew what many of you might be feeling due to the global changes that we also said would be ones none of you have experienced. That was purposeful to cause more of you to move in the direction of love and self-acceptance. February 7, 2013 You have created and allowed your experience of stress or any stressful situation to show up in your life so that you remember to take care of yourself and live in your moment of now. Any feeling of stress means that you are holding an attachment to something physical and, at that moment, halting your expansion. You can’t be in the process of simultaneously expanding and feeling any manner of stress. It merely requires you to change your mind to change the condition.  – Wilhelm Please Join Us for Our Next Channeling Session & Wilhelm Conversation ‘You Can Choose Peace Over Chaos’ – February 9th at 3pm Pacific Time Register For the Channeling Session Here https://lnkd.in/g6TuyJ-5 #rogerburnley #wilhelm #ascension #selflove #selfacceptance #lifepurpose #lawofattraction

PoolePRoof Wisdom As my birthday draws closer every year, I become even more reflective than I usually am. As a result, I've understood that my life, just like yours, has had plenty of hard times, moments of confusion, and periods of pain. But all these are punctuated by moments of pure joy. Exhilaration. Happiness so overwhelming that tears of joy happen on the regular. The thing is, there don't seem to be nearly enough of those moments. And when they happen, they don't last nearly long enough. That's why we must work to produce more such moments, lasting moments, throughout our lives. Otherwise, life really will be defined only by the hardness, the difficulty, the pain. We can choose whether that's what we allow or to live a better, more joyful, happier life by design. Our design. Just remember: Suffering happens, but we don't have to succumb to it.

There is a quiet courage that comes from an inward spring of confidence in the meaning and significance of life. Such courage is an underground river, flowing far beneath the shifting events of one’s experience, keeping alive a thousand little springs of action. - Howard Thurman I learned a long time ago that, when things are falling apart, I can create something sturdy in the midst of it. When insanity prevails in and around me, as hard as it is, I can choose sanity. It’s not easy, but it is possible. It has taken courage, creativity, and discipline that comes from a power greater and deeper than the insanity itself. It is that underground river, which Howard Thurman speaks of in the quote above, that gives rise to thousands of tiny springs of sanity at a time when sanity is desperately needed. When I choose sanity, I choose vitality. I choose Life – the mysterious force that fundamentally animates and brings us alive. Vitality is life authentically expressing itself through us, no matter what life stage we are in, or who we are, or where we are. Sanity might look happy, fun, or easy, but it also might look like grief or long held anger being expressed in ways that are transformative and responsible. Vitality is living the gift of this life fully and authentically in ways that strengthen each one of us – and the whole.

Every morning, I begin asking myself these questions: a) Am I satisfied with my current life: peace, enjoying the activities of a regular day, my spirituality, income, health, family, and profession? b) Do I tolerate myself and others, respecting my and others' beliefs? c) Do I let myself feel happy regardless of external circumstances? d) Do I let life happen to me or against me? At the end of my day, I review them, and whatever my answer is I again ask myself: Did I take any proper action whenever was needed? If I didn't, why?: -False beliefs -To please someone? -To stay out of trouble? -Avoid getting out of my comfort area. every week I change some of the questions so I can track my life: Am I improving the quality of my life? Am I enjoying the journey? If I am to receive, the best way is to give, If I want love the best action is to love ( myself and others) If I improve my life without having fun, something is missing badly.
