I recently heard an advertisement slogan say, “Never stop growing”. The words resonated, spoken by Queen Latifah to a graduating class. Which inspired my next thought, “never stop giving and displaying gratitude in all things.” Which may be challenging, when there’s no money to pay bills, food to eat, health challenges, or... the list can go on and on.

Natural law confirms the more we give, the more we receive. “Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about.” Gratitude is the way to bring more into our lives. Let’s commit to living in gratitude every day of every month, not only during “Thanksgiving” season. And unleash pure potentiality of endless growth through endless gratitude.

Kindness is a precious guide in all paths of life and it can become part of everyone’s growth. It can be easily learned and activated because we are hardwired for it.  It’s qualities of warmth, gratitude, and trust, coupled with what we know about the power of thought changes the world. Kindness is the simplest way of coping with so many hurdles, of feeling better, and of enjoying life.

Attitude has much to do with smoothly we move through life. Navigating through today’s world with its many cries for help and response ones attitude goes a long way in determining how easily we move through life or how much we struggle. Living well does take effort but struggle is not required. Gratitude is a powerful stimulant for experiences of greater love, joy, and freedom.

With Halloween just a few days away, lets have a ghoulishly good time laughing at the ghosts from our past and preparing for a new day of freedom and prosperity.

What stands in the way of the flow of good in your life? How do you know? What can you do about it? What does it have to do with Abundance? It is the Plus of Abundance. Come explore these ideas and more.

Money is God in action. These famous words from Raymond Charles Barker have been repeated and echoed down through time. But what does that really mean. Let's face it, everyone wants more money, financial security, and a sense of confidence that they have all that they need to live well according to their desires. What is the true currency of Money? How does it move? Where does it reside? How do I have more to use and enjoy? Some of the question we will consider this day.

Living in abundance with ease and grace requires more than just money or things. There is no amount quota one needs to live in abundance. It cannot be measured by cars, lands, possessions, or status. Abundance is a mindset; a way of thinking that is available to everyone and attainable by all. It may require an overhaul or simply some adjustments, but whatever the change required, it is an inside job.

One thing acceptance does is keep us from trying to force things to be a certain way when they aren’t. We may have to accept sometimes that things are not the way we’d like them to be. We also might not always be quite as smart, or good, or hard-working, or compassionate or generous or passionate as we would like to think we are. That’s OK. We can always be more than what we are now. But first we have to accept who we are and where we are, and accept that participating joyfully and deliberately in the process of our personal evolution is much more important than whatever results we achieve.
