God Alone is Enough
St. Teresa of Avila
Let nothing upset you,
let nothing startle you.
All things pass;
God does not change.
Patience wins
all it seeks.
Whoever has God
lacks nothing:
God alone is enough.

Today’s Inspiration ~ Back to Nature
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.” ~ John Muir
Today’s Good Word ~ Life-Giving
What are the life-giving forces that make you feel whole, more human, and more filled with energy? One way to think about it is to reflect on your life and ask, when was it that I felt most alive, most into the moment, most fully engaged? We’ve each had these experiences. When you’ve recalled these experiences, why not create more of them? Why not fuel your life with life-giving energy? You’ll change your life.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Choosing a Different Path

A Better Life ~ You Are Good
In a dramatic moment in a recent TV drama, a character makes the right decision after period of struggle. Another character comes up to him and says, “I knew you’d make the right decision because you are good and I was counting on it.” When we look at those closest to us as good, they catch our thoughts at a cellular level understanding how we feel about them and their lives change. They know they are good.
Today’s Good Word ~ Seeking
We usually find what we are looking for. Want to find fault in someone, you’ll find it. Want to find good in someone, you’ll find it. Want to demonize members of the other political party, you’ll find reasons. What are you seeking? What if you began your search by seeking all that was good within you? What will you find? I think you’ll find moments when you were kind, compassionate, and loving. I think you’ll find moments when you were successful, heroic, and an adventurer. C’mon, begin now by seeking all the good within you.

Today’s Power Thought ~ Why Not You
Do you believe in the art of the possible? Or, are you stuck in well of the impossible? It’s always a choice. Believing in the art of the possible creates a wellspring of hope. Move away from the naysayers and negative thinkers. Turn on your possibility button. Why not you?
A Better Life ~ Getting to Know Each Other
Want to better know the people or person you live with? Sit together at dinner. No TV. No smart phone. No interruptions. Engage in conversation and seek everyone’s opinion. Allow dinner to become an open forum of discussion with the goal of getting to know each other more deeply. You’ll get better with practice.
