Heaven on Earth

 

 

 Another wonderful quote by Teacher, Mentor, and friend to humanity Wayne Dyer.  Dr. Dyer

reminds us that we are responsible for creating our own world. We create our Heaven on Earth 

with our commitment to God and his teachings. Every day we choose out thoughts and actions

which gives us the power to have direct control over our lives and outcomes. Write your dreams 

down, believe in yourself and know that God is always by your side even during setbacks, Jesus

reminds that with the Faith of a tiny mustard seed we can move mountains. Keep God close, pray

and give Thanks and Praise for all the things you desire begin to show up in your life. And as Dr.

Dyer reminds us, Infinite Patience brings immediate results.  Trust in God and believe in yourself 

and you will live a life beyond your dreams.

 

 With Love,

Limitless

 With God All Things Are Possible

When we define the word limitless it simply means without limits.  Why should we put limits on ourselves? We were born to Fly!  And while limits are good for controlling some excesses, we should not put any limits on what we can accomplish, achieve, and do. How do we know what we can accomplish when we are not even sure of our skills and talents. 

This is where the power of prayer, and thought, and most importantly faith that you will realize your dreams and desires. We need to disconnect from the pervasive negativity and often surrounds us and adversely influences our thinking.  Don't put limits on yourself stay open to the possibilities of today and tomorrow. 

Read books that inspire you, that support you, that encourage you.  Seek out supportive people and mentors they are out there.  When you surround yourself with turkeys, you stay grounded.  When you surround yourself with Eagles, you learn to soar. 

A simple powerful and effective idea. Write you GOALS and DREAMS down!  You can keep them private but when you write your dreams down you bring them one step closer to reality. 

Many of the most successful people have come from poverty, broken homes, poor health, and abuse to rise to incredible levels.  Don't let your place today stop you from achieving your dreams.

And as Jesus said, "You can do all that I have done and more if you but believe."

Dreams Do Come True - Perseverance

Dreams - Perseverance

Alex is a lacrosse player that had his high school career shortened.  During his freshman year, playing summer lacrosse he separated his shoulder.  As a Jr. he missed most of the season, and in his Sr. year where he was named captain, he was injured with a broken jaw in the second game of the season and missed the entire year. 

Despite all these frustrations, he wanted to play college lacrosse.  He really loved being with the guys and being part of a team.  Most of us, would have given up and said this is not for me, I am unlucky and asked why does this keep happening to me.  I'm going to quit. 

But Alex had a dream and he was determined.  Instinctively, he knew that the past does not define the present or the future.  He picked himself up and while playing summer lacrosse was noticed by a college coach.  His persistence created opportunity. 

After two years of standing on the sidelines of his college team, today the dream became a reality when the during the first game of the season, the public address announcer stated over the loudspeaker,

"starting at midfield number 36 Alex K. from Wissahickon,  PA"

Goosebumps. 

Dreams do come true. 

With Love,

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau



The great writer and naturalist, author of Walden and Civil Disobedience, Henry David Thoreau, had many words of wisdom to share.  

One of his famous quotes is, "If you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, and endeavors to live the life you have imagined, you will experience a success unexpected in common hours." We have to dare to dream and then work to live out our dream. Whatever that individual dream may be for each of us. 

Another excellent quote is,  "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." How many see the same thing and have total different experiences.  How many of us see the opportunity or benefit in every experience. Look for the good, the benefit, the opportunity. 

"Never look back unless your going that way," is another wonderful quote that reminds us to keep focused on the present don't live in the past or even too far in the future, carpe diem. Seize the day, embrace the moment. 

"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation." How do we lead lives of hope and expectation.  In a word Faith. Jesus tells us that with the faith of a mustard seed we can move mountains. When we put our trust in God we know that we can overcome any obstacle and achieve all we desire. 

And "There is no remedy for love, but to love more."  Thoreau was a great lover of nature, individuality, and freedom. Let us all love more.


With Love,
