Our spirit truly knows where the joy is.

This thread is a thread that is geared to the harmony of that joy.

excerpt from BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM Second Edition By L.S. Barksdale

No one can possibly put himself in another’s place as a valid
point of reference, for no one else in the entire world has the
same degree of awareness.

Comparing myself with another’s personality, conduct or accomplishments as a gauge of my worth is absolutely meaningless. (No two people have had the same heredity, Inner Knowing, and total life experience.)

To be motivated I must perceive desirable benefits arising
from the proposed action.

I am not my awareness—I am that which is aware.

I am not my mind—my mind is but the human computer that
receives and evaluates the data of my five senses, my instincts
and intuition

I am not my body—my body is but the instrument or vehicle through which I express in this material phase of my existence.

I am not my actions—I am that which acts. My actions are
but the means I choose to fulfill my needs
I am a nonphysical essence—a unique and precious being,
inviolable, invincible and eternal, ever doing the best I can, ever
growing in wisdom and love.

“Whatever you are doing, love yourself for doing it. Whatever you are feeling, love yourself for feeling it.” Thaddeus Golas.

Once I see that chaos is just an ‘obstacle illusion’, I stop kicking and screaming and resisting, and I come into harmony with this process of rebirth. _{Janet Jacobson author of Oh No, Not Another ‘Growth” Opportunity!}

love this that Nancee53 posted the other day:

“Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.” _Democritus

Love is what we are…

“Joy depends on being in harmony with our soul.”

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
Guatama Buddha

“Joy springs from within.
No one makes you joyous; you choose joyfulness.”

In response to SelfCare/AppreciationView˚‘s post:

Beautiful thread about Joy and about the transformative power of our thoughts!

I am open to the fullness of my power.
I have the power to manifest my dreams.
Whatever I do is more than enough.
I am enough just as I am.
I trust that everything in my life is working for my highest good.
I am sacred, worthy and highly valued.
I am divine light, purpose and inner peace.
I am safe.
I am secure.
I am grounded.
I am at peace.
I belong.
