AND DIRECTION

  

This week we will be working on personal growth, healing and evolution.  

 

 
    
  
CALLING IN
THE GOOD

 

Using a sheet of lined paper, complete each of the following statements 3 times (a total of 9 statements daily) calling in the healing, direction and guidance you desire to experience.

 

Dear God:

 

Today, I ask for and open myself for you to heal me of _____________

 

Today, I ask for and open myself for you to teach me how to __________

 

Today, I ask for and open myself to be more _______________

 

 

 

 

Every experience we face in life is a function of choice; choices made and choices resisted. Until there  is conscious choice, one will live in default as a victim of circumstances, accepting whatever comes along.  

  

With conscious choice, one is empowered. Choice is in fact, an empowered yes or, an empowered no.  By choice we say yes to those things we do want and no to those things we  do not. Choice is directly linked to and produces the manifestation of beliefs.  

  

Whatever is held in conscious- ness,  whatever one  believes about self, life, and the world at large will influence or dictate choice.  However, by making a new, conscious choice, one can override beliefs which have been long held producing negative or undesirable experiences.

 

Learning to make self-supportive choices is one of  the most difficult challenges of life's experience.

 

Until one is willing  and ready to choose from the level of  the authentically, empowered Self, life is a series of mishaps which we resent or avoid moving through.

EVERY STEP I TAKE   

 

Good morning God.  

 

You are ever present in my life and for this I am so grateful. Your patience and mercy are infinite. You provide me with the space, time and grace to find my way on this path called life.

 

Every step I take is simply that - a step. It leads to another set of steps and the opportunity to choose. As a baby totters while gaining the strength and coordination to walk upright, so I gain strength and understanding with every step I take.

 

I thank You for the opportunity to choose and to take a step. I thank You for the lessons learned in each step I have taken. I thank You for re-minding me that my life is about these steps, not the destination.

 

I thank You for Your guidance on this journey. I thank You for Your grace that eases the way. I thank You for the love that enfolds me and protects me.  

 

 

I declare and decree that today I will listen for Your direction as I choose my steps. I will practice humility and compassion this day for my self and for others. I will release judgment and look for the learning present in the moment.

 

And I will thank You over and over again for the opportunity to be a physical manifestation of all that You are. I love You so, God. Thank You!

 

Let it be so.

And so it is.

                      Affirmations

                           

Today I choose to recognize my ability

to act in response to the alternatives

in my life.  I am fearless

and let go of the old and the unfamiliar. 

 

Today I choose to make my wishes,

my dreams and my desires known to

myself and the Universe. 

 

Today I accept that Choice is my divine teacher. I choose to listen and to obey

the signs that move me forward in my life.

 

Today I  make healthy

choices in my relationships!

 

Today I choose to nourish my body,

mind and spirit!

 

Today I choose to be compassionate

towards myself and others!

 

Today I choose to be alive,

 awake and happy!

 

        

        

Choice is the ability to recognize alternatives and possible consequences, thereby enabling the selection of that which is most desirable, admirable, and honorable.  The ability to act in response to the recognized alternatives. 

  

It is not that we do not realize that we must make choices; for most of us it is the fear of making the wrong choice.  In some cases, the failure to choose is the result of the fear of letting go of the old for the new, the familiar for the unfamiliar.  This is the essence of choice: the ability to make our wishes known, to let go and stand on new and unfamiliar ground. 

  

Choice is a divine teacher, for when we choose we learn that nothing is ever put in our path without a reason.  When we choose to follow a certain path or engage in a certain activity, it is because that choice holds a lesson for us. 

 

Choice teaches us how to listen, and why we must obey.
