Being Humble on April fool’s Day

There is only one mind, there is only one source, and there is only one life. That is life as a Spiritual Being, as a loving being.

This universe is the glory of God. It is a moving, flexible, fluidic creation. It is alive with life, abundance and all the richness of God.

I affirm that we all come from this one source.

We are all inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

I now speak my word for myself and for all.

I am here to serve others and be here for their good as well as my own.

I have a realistic appreciation of my own great strengths, but also of my weaknesses.

I make the effort to walk in the shoes of others, and invite them to walk in mine.

I affirm that I am able to easily and effortlessly resolve conflict and embarrassment. I allow myself to be humble and teachable. I have nothing to defend and much to gain by resolving conflict. I release my pride.

I know that others are naturally warm. I appreciate their efforts, and I feel safe in their presence.

I am courteously respectful of others, as I place my faith and trust in Spirit. I choose to be humble and teachable. I release my pride, knowing that it is just a cover for my own insecurity. I am perfectly safe to do so.

I build my relationship with others on a solid foundation. I am surrounded by protective, warm and friendly associates. And, I feel peace, joy, abundance, comfort and prosperity from them.

My associates emit all kinds of positive energy. I am completely protected and blessed by Spirit.

It is with overwhelming thankfulness that I accept the truth that Spirit expresses through me and through all others. And, this expression realizes the greatest amount of Good, love, abundance, joy, beauty and peace.

With a grateful heart, I release my Word into the action of the Law to be manifest in form as it is already known in mind.

And so it is. Amen

Growing Through Adversity

Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit.

It’s goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.

There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,

And that is life as a spiritual Being, as a loving Being.

I affirm that we all come from this one Source.

We are inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

I now speak my word for myself and for all,

As I align myself with the Law of growth.

When I find myself in foreign territory, I summon help from a greater power,

Allowing a higher presence to reassure me, guide me and stay the course with me.

I release fear and any long-held self-sabotaging beliefs and emotional reactions.

I realize that the solutions and possibilities available to me are limitless.

I step into my power, when I build a self-worth that cannot be eroded by another person’s opinion or judgment.

I place more importance on being genuine than fitting in.

I choose thoughts that are positive.

I choose high-frequency thoughts of love, gratitude and inspiration.

I release limiting beliefs and negative self-talk.

I allow my own full expression.

In the core of my heart space, I realize that I am always safe and always loved.

I accept that the Universe is operating for my greatest good, in a world in which I am a co-creator.

My life is filled with the divine expression of health and happiness.

I look forward to each day as I pursue a vision for my life.

So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness

For my own self-empowerment, for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.

And so it is. Amen.
