Living abundantly is a choice according to this message. I believe that this is a useful way to frame it. I am blessed daily. I can choose to see that, and live abundantly or be negative and not. In agreement with this teaching: “It’s a choice.” May all beings be well and happy.

Priorities, huh? A lot is made of this topic.

John Maxwell suggests putting your actions into your top two priorities first. This will reap benefits, since time will not be lost on items of less priority.

It seems to me that to set priorities and work in alignment with them as we work toward our goals is what is important. It’s not getting the goal that is fulfilling, it’s having priorities in place and working on things that give value to our lives and are in line with our priorities at the same time, that is satisfying.

Do you agree? Comments are welcome. As we share we learn and grow together.

Recently, I am working toward decluttering and also creating organization in my life. It is a process that takes time, though I am enjoying any and all of the small successes along the way.

My priorities are encouraging and supporting personal growth and connection among beings-starting with myself.

May all be well and happy.

Point of interest:

One organization counseled to  create a separate email for business, verses personal matters. I did that, and found it overwhelming trying to get to each of the many email accounts I had. I went back to one main one recently. I found that otherwise it’s too much to try and check them all regularly.

Hope? Why not?!

I woke this morning and thought to myself. Easter has such a wonderful message of hope for Christians. It seems to me like people filled with hope, whatever their faith, can take the positive energy of the Christians today and share in it if not offer their own hopeful energy to it.

I start with me.

I hope to continue learning about  sharing more and more over the year 2013 and continue growing and expanding the ability to encourage others to “grow personally and make connections,” my personal mission statement.

What’s yours? Whatever it is, you can start/ continue again today. What a positive day to do so.

Whether your Christian or not, the message of Easter is new beginnings, forgiveness, inspired renewal-chances to regroup and continue again.

I am inspired anew with hope that we can all hear a message of renewal. One of restarting our goals, interests and work toward achieving a world that is complete with all of us sharing in our differences-espcially that-sharing.

We live in a world filled with many people of various faiths, and it is filled at least for today, with the message of hope.

Clinging to a firm believing in the ego (as opposed to a naturally occuring sense of self) is based in fear;

Seeing through to (allowing the blossoming of) one’s true nature (as one of the interconnected beings on the planet) is based in freeing up the hold the sense of ego and fear has on oneself.

One does not give up themselves and become someone else, only their need to hold believing it as though it were fixed in place.

Food for thought on the journey to liberation.
