Tune In to Your Inner Music

"We rarely hear the inward music, but we're all dancing to it nevertheless."

~Rumi

We are all guided, whether we realize it or not, by our inner, often unconscious thoughts, feelings, beliefs and passions.  Realizing that you are responding to that inner music, and beginning to "tune in" to it allows you to utilize that resource in a greater way.  When you do that, you enhance your ability to live fully and meaningfully.  It is the inner music that moves you toward your Life's Purpose. It is the song that you can share with others to create even greater harmony.

This week:  Take some time to tune in to your inner music.  What thoughts drift through your mind when you are alone?  What passions do you want to share?  When do you feel and act your very best?  When do you hear that still, small voice urging you to listen?  What themes show up repeatedly in your life?  If you knew what it was, what would you want to call the song of YOUR life?  Notice where your thoughts lead you.  Allow yourself to follow these new paths, even if only for this one week.

Choose to Believe in Your Value

"You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being, not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money, but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason."

~ Wayne Dyer

When you believe in yourself, you unleash the power to create, to achieve, to inspire.  You unleash your own potential and authenticity, simply by choosing to believe that you are valuable and worthwhile.  When you do that, you share a great gift with the world. Why would you choose to believe anything else?

This week:  When you are assailed by doubt or by negative beliefs about yourself, challenge those.  Remember they are just things you are choosing to believe.  Ask yourself  "Is this really true?"  When you feel tempted to depend on other people (no matter how near and dear they are to you) or external measurements to define your worth, challenge that.  No one except you and God really knows you and your worth.  Choose for this week to believe in your value.  Don't worry, it won't make you arrogant.  When you believe in your worth, you have more to offer.  Focus this week on what you have to offer the world, just because you are worthwhile.

Share Your Love With Special Friends

“I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.


I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.


I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;

I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.


I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.


I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.


You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.”


~ Roy Croft

This is one of my favorite poems.  I discovered it college and like to share it with those special people who touch my life in such meaningful ways.

This week:  Think about someone in your life with whom you would like to share these sentiments. They may not be your spouse or lover, or even someone you know very well.  They can be one of those special people who have touched your life and made a difference.  Reach out to them and let know what they mean to you.

The Expression of Your Power Requires Relaxation

"Your power is proportional to your ability to relax."

~ David Allen

When you have the ability to relax, you allow yourself to replenish.  You build an environment that nurtures your power and your creativity.  You allow yourself to reflect, to think more clearly, and to relate to others more authentically.  You are able to relax you can really allow yourself to be most yourself--and in doing that, you allow your power to shine through.

This week:  Take time to relax each day.  Allow yourself to center yourself, to escape cares and worries just for a short period of time.  Make sure you allow yourself at least 20 minutes when you can focus on your breathing, focus on turning within.  Acknowledge your wise self.  Acknowledge what is right in your world.  Do this each day for at least a week.  Notice at the end of the week how you feel.  Do you feel more connected to YOURSELF?  Has there been an increase in your calmness?  Acknowledge yourself for taking the time to connect with yourself through this relaxation.
