Do you catch yourself saying statements such as: There is not enough time in the day? Or, I don’t have time for that. How about, I wish I had time to do that or I’m overbooked. I must admit, every now and then I allow that ‘I don’t have enough time’ bug to creep into my experience and when I recognize that happening, I simply respond by saying “there is always enough time to do what I love.”

When you live from a space of ‘there is always enough time to do what I love’, you’ve stepped into empowerment. You have chosen to live in the moment and not worry about the ‘to do list’ as you know there is always plenty of time. You see those old statements simply as excuses that keep you from stepping into your greatness and you’ve chosen to live your highest self.

This doesn’t mean there are parts of life that are ‘have to do’s’ – going to your job, making dinner, etc. Yet it does mean you’ve chosen to see every minute of your day as precious and loving and you have chosen to find enjoyment and peace with the now moment. Time after time after time, you choose from a space of love what is next. And when you choose from love, time is just a four letter word.

Quotes of the week:

“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”

~Henry Van Dyke

“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”

~H. Jackson Brown Jr.

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”

~Albert Einstein

“Life is all about timing – the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable becomes available, the unattainable – attainable. Have the patience, wait it out it’s all about timing.”

~Stacey Charter

“Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.”

~Henry David Thoreau

For the next week I invite you to cherish your time by:

Appreciating where you are at this moment. Whether you are reading this at work, or at home, look around your environment and appreciate this moment in time. Look for the beauty that is right there and say thank you.

Waking up in the morning and before your feet hit the floor, say “I am so excited for an amazing day ahead knowing that everything will flow in perfect timing,” or some variation of that.

Forgiving yourself when you allow that time bug to hit you as it’s just buzzing around to remind you that time is truly a perception.

Loving you, loving others, and loving life.

Mostly, my wish for you this week is to see time as endless as you live in the moment. Cherish your past experiences fondly, look forward to your future experiences with enthusiasm and excitement on what is to become. Right now, in this moment, love where you are.

Until next time, enjoy the current moment.

Lucky Charms 

I love lucky charms! It is sugary sweet, yet, when you get down to it, no true substance. They taste good, but the goodness in your life isn’t derived from them. They give you a quick boost of sweetness, but if you don’t have sweetness in your life, that feeling will quickly dissipate. I rarely eat them, but smile when I see that leprechaun smiling and reminding me just how lucky I am.
 
Do you have a lucky charm? How about a favorite coin you keep in your pocket? Or perhaps a rabbit’s foot, or do you wear lucky underwear? 
 
Do you consider yourself a lucky person? Or have you caught yourself saying “I wouldn’t have any luck if it weren’t for bad luck”? When you go about your day, listen to what you say to yourself. Do you say “I’m excited as this is going to be amazing?” Or do you catch yourself saying “here we go again.”
 
Within you at this very minute is where your luck lives; your thoughts. When you honor your highest self of love, joy, brilliance, creativity, and peace, ‘luck’ begins to flow. You find yourself in the right place to meet the right person, hear the right words, taste the right food, and live in joy. When you live your highest self, you are excited and joyful as others live their dreams and you share in the excitement of their ‘luck’.

Quotes of the Week:

“The day you decide to do it is your lucky day”

‘Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck.”

For the next week I invite you to allow your luck to flourish by:

Love is in the air as Valentines Day approaches. Some people look forward to Valentine’s Day with excitement and anticipation on what their sweetie might get them; while others lament over the idea of not having a significant other to share the day with. Whether you are in a relationship, or single, you already have a valentine – and that is YOU! Look in the mirror and say, “will you be mine?” Will you choose to live your life fulfilled? Will you choose to see the greatness in you and let it shine for the rest of the world to see?
 
Regardless of the circumstances of your outer reality, inwardly is where love starts. Enjoy the perfection of your imperfections as there is only one you in the universe. Love where you’ve been as it’s brought you to today. Love where you are now as it will catapult you into tomorrow. Love where you are going as there is excitement in the journey as there is in the destination. Be your own best friend. Be your own valentine. Simply put – will you be mine?
