A Knowing…

I live my life knowing that my prayers are already answered. What about you? Do you live your life knowing that your prayers are already answered?

This is a bold statement that I am trying to ingest as I write. To live my life knowing my prayers have already been answered. A great faith and yet it feels scary. Scary because it is not human-like. It seems that 100% there is nothing to worry about, nothing to fear, nothing to be scared of, nothing to even think about but my wants, needs, dreams and goals. A perfect statement?

So when I say I live my life knowing my prayers are already answered. What I am actually telling myself are three things:

First thing is Let Go and Let God.

To let go of my need to force things to happen. To let go of worries, fears, and just be like the birds in the skies free as they just let it be. To just give it up and Let God take control.

It’s also easy to say but sometimes it’s pretty difficult to put into action. But then say, we have a problem, sometimes, after all the effort, the best way really to solve it is to give it up – because the more we worry about it, the more energy we put into it which makes it alive.

When we let go and Let God take control, it’s like we do everything in our power first and then we take a back seat and let God take the wheel to drive our lives.

Second thing is To think is to Create.

Mmmm…There is something about our way of thinking. Our thoughts create. Whatever our thoughts are happens. That’s why there is a saying, be careful what you think of or wish for, it comes true. Our thoughts reap results- positive or negative. Positive thinking doesn’t offer guarantees but it gives us the best chance. Positive thinkers think about what’s possible. In concentrating on the possibilities, we make things happen.

Being positive for a day won’t do it. Strengthening your mind is like strengthening your body. If we do twenty push-ups, and then race over to the mirror, we won’t see any difference. Similarly, if we think positive for 24 hours, we will see a little difference. But discipline our thinking for a few months and we will see even bigger changes in our lives than we’ll ever see at the gym. Cleaning up our thinking is a life long work. It is huge! It’s made even harder because, often, we don’t even know we are being negative when we’re being negative.

If we want to check our thinking, check our life. Our prosperity, happiness and the quality of our relationships, even our health are a reflection of our most common conscious thoughts.

Third thing is To be at Peace…

Being at peace. Desiderata. Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and remember what peace there maybe in silence… Therefore be at peace with God.. whatever you conceive Him to be.. and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life..keep peace in your soul.

You see when I was young, I have always believed that there are only purposes made in heaven, there is no such thing as coincidence.. I have always believed at the same time that life only gives lessons for me to learn and when I get to learn the lesson, I move on. If not life ,will continue to give the same tests but in different shade, color, form, occasion and setting.. yet the same lesson. So my thinking is that there are really no problems, because there are solutions. I have always thought of a glass as half full than half empty.

I live my life knowing my prayers are already answered. I will let this be my shout-out everyday. My daily affirmation. There’s nothing to lose but everything to gain. I live my life knowing my prayers are already answered, and without a doubt, it will be.

Everyone, let’s live our lives knowing that our prayers are already answered that way we will learn to let go and let God, create positive things and keep peace in our soul.

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
