Glorious At Its Best

"There cannot be too many glorious women." - Marianne Williamson, author, lecturer, and founder of The Peace Alliance 


We all have the ability and the resources within us to be glorious. It is not always easy for people to think of themselves as glorious. There are probably many people out there who come across as egotistical and arrogant, but when confronted, chances are they would not be able to describe themselves as glorious. How do you feel about you? Does the word glorious come to mind when describing who you are and what you are all about?

The world could use more glorious people. There is an image of glowing happiness beaming from someone who is glorious and fabulous and has it all together. Many people struggle with everyday life. It is a joy to come across a person who exudes joy, peace, and a fun-loving spirit. It is especially uplifting when this happens as we are doing our best to walk through a difficult time in our lives. Glorious people bring out the 'glorious' in all of us.

We can never have too many happy, carefree, or glorious people on the planet. The more we have, the better our world will be. Can we make this transformation and pool our glorious energy together? The results will probably amaze us if we give it a try. Let's all do it now!

Today I will be glorious, I will share with other glorious people, and I will welcome the happiness that will ultimately arrive as a result of this experience. I am grateful.

Be Proud Of Achievements

"Don't be embarrassed by your achievements. Being an overachiever is nothing despicable. It is only admirable. Never lower your standards." - Martha Stewart, businesswoman, author, and publisher 


It feels good to achieve our goals and hit new levels of success. There is nothing to be ashamed of when we receive an award or an accolade. Overdoing it, however, is probably not the best way to enjoy going through life. The added stress will not increase the sense of fulfillment; it will only hinder it.

It is not necessary to lower our standards but it is necessary to keep an eye on how much time and effort we are spending on work alone. There is a balance to find in life; a balance that will allow us to have some fun, work hard, share experiences with friends, and take advantage of some quiet time to connect with our innermost selves. It is not easy to handle all of these every day but it is important to do our best to experience all of these throughout each day, week, month, and year. Doing only one or two of these and leaving out the rest will only cause stress and worry in our lives. It is important to be well-rounded and to be able to enjoy all that life has to offer.

Achievements are wonderful things and should always be commended. It is not necessary, though, to live only for the thrill of achieving more. Now we can welcome the highlights, sit back and relax once in awhile, and enjoy all that comes our way. This will bring the greatest results.

Today I will seek balance as I go through my day. I will enjoy some quiet time, I will have some fun, and I will work to achieve new goals. I am grateful.

There Is Always Beauty

"I've found that there is always some beauty left - in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can help you. Look at these things, then find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance." - Anne Frank, Jewish diarist during World War II 


Regaining our balance in life can be very difficult at times. Yet, in order to move forward and make progress on our spiritual journey, it is necessary to regain balance. It is the only solution to our problems.

We can find beauty everywhere if we focus on finding the positive in all that we see. If we are focused on the negative side of life, we are probably going to see darkness and ugliness everywhere we turn. If we can seek out beauty and find ourselves again, we will be back on track in no time and we will be moving forward on our journeys once more.

If beauty can be found by someone who was in the middle of a World War, then we certainly can find beauty in all that is around us.

Today I will find the beauty in all that I observe. I am grateful.

Beauty Or Wit?

"Who is't that to women's beauty would submit, and yet refuse the fetters of their wit?" - Aphra Behn, the first woman in history to make a living as a writer 


Aphra Behn lived from 1640 to 1689. That era was quite different from the one we live in now. Yet this quote tells us something intriguing about this writer. Even back in the 1600's, this woman understood the importance of having our wits about us.

Wit is defined as "reasoning power" and "astuteness of perception". At times we may find ourselves drawn to those who share their wise observations about life with us. They are usually people who do not preach from the mountains but quietly share their insights, one on one. We have all surely met people like this who have their wits about them. They are the types of people we can aspire to be like as we continue on our journey of spiritual growth.

We can be grateful to writers such as Aphra Behn, who stepped out and took a chance when faced with one of the biggest challenges of their time. It is hard to imagine what it must have been like to venture out as the first woman in history to earn a living as a writer. It is obvious she was in tune with what people wanted to read. This quote indicates she was perceptive and wise. This is something we should consider in our own lives. Do we submit only to beauty? If we do, here is to changing our ways.

Today I will show my appreciate for those who share their wit and wisdom with others. I am grateful.

"A Woman In Love"

"A woman in love can't be reasonable - or she probably wouldn't be in love." - Mae West, actor, dancer, writer, producer, and director 


Love is reasonable. In fact it is the most reasonable force on the planet. We all have good within us and by sending love to each other we find that we are at our most reasonable state of mind.

I have heard it said that the joy we find when love is new is the true reality and that when the newness wears off and we start to see our romantic partner's faults, that is when we are not seeing the true nature of the person we are with. If we recognize the inner Spirit in each other, we cannot go wrong. We can be in love and be reasonable all at the same time. It just takes a shift in attitude.

Today I believe in love and I believe it can exist between reasonable people. I am grateful.

The Life We Have

"Life beats down and crushes the soul, and art reminds you that you have one." - Stella Adler, actor and teacher 


Do you feel as if life beats you down and crushes your soul? It can if we let it. Life does not need to be so defeating however. Life can be a joy and it can bring us peace and serenity but we need to bring our thinking in line with those results.

Our journey in life can bring us challenges and difficulties that may seem insurmountable. It also brings miracles and amazing experiences. Life is not meant to beat us down or crush us. Our attitude towards life starts with our thoughts and grows from there. If we expect life to crush us, it will. If we expect life to beat us up and throw us down, it will.

What if we expect life to be filled with miracles? What if we expect our days to be filled with great happenings? The results could be astounding. Life is never going to be perfect. Life is never going to be filled with joy 24/7. Life will, however, bring us everything we need if we allow it to do so without trying to manipulate the outcomes. If we can keep our thoughts and ideas in the realm of positivity, we will be amazed at our shift in attitude.

Practice, practice, practice - some challenges in our lifetime can cause us grief, anger, and despair. But, as we practice turning our thoughts to helping others, reaching out for help ourselves, and knowing that this too shall pass, we can slowly begin to release the idea that life will just beat us down and crush our souls. Art is beautiful and may remind us that we have a life, but we are in charge of our thoughts, so our job is to use our thoughts wisely.

Today I will remember that life does not beat me down unless I think it can. My life is full and I am grateful.

Delightful Friendships

"Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking." - George Eliot, nineteenth-century novelist 


Friends have saved my life, over and over again. The friends in my life can be counted on to listen when I need to be heard, to make suggestions when I don't know what to do, and, when I am down, to love me until I can love myself again. They are amazing folks!

With my friends, I don't have many disputes at all. We will have discussions and I am happy to say that I am not afraid to express my opinion. We don't have disputes though.I have learned to accept people as they are along with the opinions they have, even if their opinions are not in line with mine. There is a beautiful respect between us all and we are able to care for and nurture each other without getting caught up in our differences. Today we focus on our similarities.

Personal liking among friends certainly goes a long way. Of course, if we didn't have a liking for each other, the friendships would just fizzle away. The proof is in the fact that my friendships have lasted such a long time. I never experienced this as a child or as a young adult so it is refreshing and it fills me with happiness. When I was a child and a young adult, I struggled with reaching out to people so I really only had one or two friends in my life. I felt lonely much of the time but that was of my own making. Today I reach out to people, I ask them how they are doing, and I genuinely listen to what they have to say. This seems to work so I think I will have to continue to do so.

Today I will delight in the friendships I have as I reach out, ask, and listen. I am grateful.
