I Would Love to be Free

How Do I Forgive in the New Year?

I would to be FREE - click image to enlarge

I was searching the web for a picture. I wanted to find something appropriate for my blog on forgiveness – of self and within families; I hadn’t decided yet which it would be today.

But when I saw this I just had to share it with you.  Click here to see other beautiful entries at this site.

What can you be free from feeling today? How can you honor your light within? Will you change your internal dialogue today?

What a gift to give to the world…the authentic and wonderful you. The forgiven you.

Wishing you an abundance of love, light and joy.

Today and always.

Everyone must have a PAL!

by Julette on December 11, 2009

Does that sound too mushy, too simple to you?  We all, each of us must have a PAL in order to accomplish whatever it is we set out to do.

Even though you’d probably agree with me if I was stating this literally….that every human being needs another human in order  to be successful…in this context, I have a different meaning.  I like that this has two meanings though.  Both are equally true. No one person can get anywhere in life without the help of someone else.

Likewise, you simply cannot expect any level of success without a PAL…a Plan, Action and the readiness to Learn.

This is the approach to life, to projects and to all undertakings that will lead to success.  We call it our success formula.

You must create a plan…the “P” in PAL… by first being clear on your intentions. See the  vision; be clear on the beliefs underlying the vision.  Remember, you’ve got to believe something before you’re able to see it.   What would you like to see happen?  When you’re clear on that, create your plan.  Make it plain.

Can you even imagine any kind of success without action?  It’s not possible.  So after coming up with your plan, you MUST take action….sow the seed to reap the benefits.

Then, in order to truly have that action reap the benefits that you intended to reap, you must reflect, and Learn from your actions. That’s the “L”in PAL.  When you learn from your actions, you’re able to take those insights into another life situation and put an end to having to learn a particular lesson over and over again.  If we would only take the time to truly get a lesson the first time God gives it to us, we would free up so much time and energy for higher lessons.

So you’ve got to have a PAL…a plan, take action and learn something.  Take this success formula and apply it to everything that  you do in life.  It’s guaranteed to produce magnificent results.  And don’t be too quick to push it to the side on the basis of its simplicity.  Most of life’s principles are very simple.  But do we do what we know is right? If we would only apply a tenth of what we know to be true, our life would be 100% improved.

Tomorrow I’ll take a look at applying PAL to forgiveness goals.  As you can imagine it adds significantly to your success on your forgiveness journey.

Wishing you love & light,

Forgiveness is SO much more than I Forgive You

December 4, 2009

Surrender it all, not just a piece.  Well, that is IF you really do want lasting peace. Arms outstretched, heart light, mind open.  This is the body language and mind-set of total release.
Forgiveness is not only to do with releasing people from your grasp of blame and pain.
Forgiveness is not only to do with releasing [...]

Shame and Guilt – When is it too much?

December 1, 2009

Does it ever serve any good purpose? I had to tweet a quickie on this news story a moment ago.
Reading this story about an Iowa person who sent $500 to a college where s/he stole something back in 1955 (!!) made me ponder this thought…”what purpose do they serve, guilt and shame?”
In his/her note, [...]

Teaching Your Child About Forgiveness

November 20, 2009

What can you do to teach the forgiveness life lesson to your children?
I can’t imagine that an explanation is required for this question.   Teaching our children those life skills and mindsets that are necessary for lasting peace, love, joy, prosperity, success, seems a bit more than obvious.  Is forgiveness a necessary mindset?  Absolutely.  Just think [...]

Forgiveness Role Models, Who Were Yours?

November 17, 2009

As with everything else, we learn forgiveness from those we are exposed to as we grow up.
The experiences of childhood have lasting impact.  If we observed forgiveness in action, whether we practice it or not, we still know what it is all about.  We may make decisions that are contrary to our teachings (overt or [...]

Forgiveness Begins at Home!

November 13, 2009

Home in this case is SELF. Forgiveness must begin with you.  Forgiveness is really primarily about forgiving your self first.   The rest is much easier when that is done.
In thinking about this truth, I had to search myself…Have I forgiven myself, for instance, for not updating this blog in so very long?
I realized that I [...]

21 Days of NO COMPLAINING

August 6, 2009

Inspired by Dr. Therman E. Evans this 21 day challenge will transform you!
A commitment to compliments expands our universe. We are so comfortable being negative or at least, ‘not positive’ that we hardly notice the self-sabotaging thoughts and discouraging comments that flow out of our mouths on a regular basis.
This 21 day challenge will bring [...]
