I guess the things that make me happiest in life are the genuine expressions of joy and love that I see when I and people in general are openly appreciating life. Let’s look at this word appreciation. It is likened to gratitude and the energy around this simple word is far greater than it actually is, for it conveys a tranquillity and sense of sanctuary that surpasses mental consciousness. Whenever we show appreciation for the little things in life, we are soon blessed with the greater things appearing as and when we desire them and definitely in the moments we need them most.  A heart that is open and giving seeks the light all around it and it vibrates with such intensity that it is experienced by all in the vicinity of the giver/creator of this light.  We as electromagnetically charged beings need to understand that we are sending vibrations into the world at all times and our intentions and thoughts make known in the physical world the things we dwell or meditate upon. Hey that should be enough motivation to ensure that we keep it clear and healthy, but sadly too many times we are lost in the sea of disillusion or the ocean of responsibility and worry to take time to adjust our focus and then when we receive the magnification of that crap in our lives we despair even further and so just perpetuating the cycle.

That is the story of the gloom but equally so we have the opportunity to bring positive glow to our world through a conscious connection with what is good and pure and what stirs us deep within. Whenever you take time to think about what makes your heart swell with joy, or to dream about the possibilities of yet unfulfilled desires, you sent a mega wave of creation energy into this world which inspires people without them even knowing how it came about. A positive charge will break down negative charges just like a light that is switched on will dispel the darkness within a room. If you doubt this, then think back to any day when after loads of rain and overcast skies, the sun broke through for the first time and you felt its warmth upon your body, and then remember how good that feeling was and how you felt alive in that moment? You were inspired and comforted all in one instant and that is what your positivity can do to your own world. Why complain when all it accomplished is to bring more of the same. Try centring yourself on something else that makes your heart sing or makes you smile and before you know it, your spirits will be elevated as well. Depression arises from the perpetual presence of heaviness and the constant mulling over what is wrong. Conversely light-hearted energy comes from looking at what is often intangible but oh so real, the knowing deep within that life will always bring good to the forefront. This assurance will come about when we take time to stop and give thanks for those things, great and small that make our lives richer.

A simple concept with such profound affect as having found myself in dire situations at various stages of my life, I too have found that the easier road was one of despair. The braver and most beneficial path was the one of the acknowledgement that nothing had the power to overwhelm me as I was indeed the creator and originator of my thoughts and subsequent experiences. I had the power to change my world by changing the way I saw it and then allowing the energy of grace to come through uninterrupted by my fears. The remarkable thing was that it didn’t take long from that moment till the one where I was rejoicing in the manifestation of calm and release and the visible easing of the tension and/or sorrow I had previously encountered. No matter what the circumstances, they are subject to change and they will abate as soon as you turn your eyes to higher vibrations. As practical as this fact, if you eat something heavy and stodgy it lingers inside of you and it will eventually pass through your system and be evacuated as waste albeit not as easily as when you eat healthily. So life responds with the same fervour. It brings to you what you contemplate upon and what you give thanks for with a true intent. Make no mistake you cannot con yourself for even if you are broken and sad you can ask with honesty and your soul will look beyond the pain for the vibration within, that inner desire and it will kick-start the change you need until you can feel the same as your intentions and desires. And then before long you will receive the new and improved life of your expectation. Test it out; you will be amazed at how much you are creating on a daily basis. Expect defeat and it will surely come so why not expect success, joy and love and allow them to come instead?
