Greetings awakened ones!
Today's lesson is very helpful if you have a habit of going over things in your mind over and over and over again. While reflection is valuable to our growth, our author makes a great distinction between "reflecting" and "renuminating".
Renuminating merely amounts to looking back and beating yourself up or aimlessly going over what
you should or should not have done. Reflecting involves attaining meaningful insightsnand understanding

All your experiences can turn to gold!
Greetings Life Weavers!
Yes, you are weaving and spinning your life into gold! Every experience carries something of value. In Unity we say, "Look for the Good, and praise it!". Meaning there is some good in every situation, every experience and every condition. We need only to take the time to look for it. And when we find it to focus on that.
Questions for the day are:
. When was the last time you learned something from an experience? What did you do with that learning?
. Take a minute and think about you life. Do you tend to evaluate your setbacks and see what part of it you are responsible for or.....do you lay blame primarily on others?
. How do you usually handle grief, loss, sadness or disappointment? What insightsnhave you gained from them?
Have a peaceful day!

Mistakes and Opportunities
Good Day Precious Ones!
Isn't it great to know that we are loved unconditionally by God?! If we truly know that then it is easier to take a good and honest look at what may be driving us without our knowledge or conscious thought. After all hoe often do we acknowledge our "Shadow" side? Do we see those not so positive behaviors or traits?
We all make mistakes from time to time. Can we own them? We all exhibit poor behavior from time to time. Can we see it? We have all made errors in judgement from time to time. Can we see it and learn from it?
The author provides some powerful examples of our disowned behaviors. Your action step for today is tho review her list and circle those behaviors you identify with.
Our questions for the day are:
. What is your first response when you make a mistake? And when others make a mistake?
. Can you identify some of you "Shadow" traits or behaviors?
. How often are you able to treat mistakes as opportunities?
Let YourLight Shine! Remember the light casts out all Shadows!!!
Have a Lightfilled day!

The Choice is yours
Greetings Beloved Ones!
Ok, this is something that we all know to be true; it is a well known and common thought in new thought circles and that is: The Choice is Yours!
everything is a choice but the challenge is that we are not always conscious of that when we are making them; or we are habitual in our responses.
What if we developed the habit of saying at every
opportunity, "This is a choice I am making"! If we could some how consciously claim it I believe we would stand a better chance of waking up. Let this be your action step for today: Affirm repeatedly throughout the day, "This is a Choice I am making"!
The questions for the day are:
. How can you live your life with greater trust and confidence?
. How do you take responsibility for your own happiness?
. What is your current state of life telling you about the choices you have made?
Choose to make it a great day!

When things go wrong (and they will)
Greeting Beloved Ones!
Often times people say that we Truth Students are Pollyanna's, or that we don't deal with reality, or that we wear rose color glasses. Not so! We just try practicing seeing the good in the situation.
There are times however when things may feel overwhelming. We may not feel in control of the situation or our emotions. Yet, even in those situations we have a choice as to how we will respond. I only wish I could remember that when I am in the midst of the situation!
I love the two questions the author poses when she is faced with a challenging situation: "what does this situation need?" or "what does this moment need?". Just asking those questions brings you back to your strengths!
Your action step for today is to ask that question throughout the day, in every situation and encounter!
Our questions for today are:
. What do you do when faced with an overwhelming or situation? Or some tragedy?
. How do you wake up your inner strenghs?
. How do you know when to hold on and when to let go?
Be Abundantly Blessed!

You are responsible for your own happiness
Greetings Beloved Ones!
Are you having fun yet!? Well if not, it is up to you! You are the source of your own happiness. We all know this but yet we at times find ourselves expecting others to make us happy, or we simply get upset if they don't.
Here is your action step: Take back your expectations! When you do, you empower yourself; you determine what kind of life you will live and how you will feel in any situation..
The questions for today are;
. Do you have any expectations of others? Look deep.
. How do you react when others treat you unfairly?
. What fear do you want to release?
Have an awakened day!

The Power of Presence
Greetings Committed Ones!
We all know the saying, "Wherever I go, there I am!". Well, wherever we go we also bring bit and pieces of ourselves to others. How we are with others has an effect on them.
Action steps for today:
. Listen the tone of your voice when you speak to others.
. Demonstrate kindness to someone
The questions for today are:
. How do you know when you are present in the moment?
. What stops you from being present.
. What do you do when you are not in a great mood and you have to be around others?
Remember, your presence speaks about you!
Be honest and be awake!
