Your Daily Dose of Gratitude ~ Day 555

Gratitude For Your Life In General

-------------------------------------------------

Generally, appreciation means some blend of thankfulness, admiration, approval, and gratitude. In the financial world, something that appreciates grows in value. With the power tool of appreciation, you get the benefit of both perspectives: as you learn to be consistently thankful and approving, your life will grow in value.

Cherishing Your Challenges & Challengers

---------------------------------------------------------------

In the year 2008, more and more people will begin questioning things that they have never questioned before. Individuals from all walks of life will be seeking new answers and trying to make sense of a nonsensical world. For some people — those who have been asleep to humanity's great current of change — a personal crisis in the not-too-distant future could be the catalyst leading them to seriously question the status quo. The crisis could be anything from a grave health condition, a costly divorce, a house foreclosure or a job loss. When the person begins questioning more deeply than before and realizes how shaky the traditional means of support are, an opening is created to change course. To be sure, those who receive this "wake-up call" must act on that call in order to shift their circumstances. As part of that, they must choose a different path than the one they have been traveling.

The New Path Of Heart

This new path involves looking within for answers and responding to the world with a heart-centered focus. It means giving up, bit by bit, the habitual ego-based patterns learned in the conventional world. Giving these up is not a simple thing to do, for there is much resistance and ignorance about the truth of one's real condition. That is a normal part of being human.

This awakening person will need to approach the new path with dedication, persistence, self-love, compassion and patience. Patience is particularly important, for success in navigating the new heart-centered path will require ongoing actions and choices. The person must be willing to continue choosing the higher path and taking actions that reflect that choice, regardless of what appears to be happening. Sometimes it may appear as though nothing at all is happening. At other times, the progress may simply seem to be too slow. No matter what adversity is experienced, discouragement must not be allowed to block the person's resolve. Shifting into an entire new way of being requires tenacity and an ability to continually remember the big picture [ie – you're a spiritual being having a human "spiritual bootcamp" experience].

For those already on the path of conscious awakening, this coming cycle will precipitate an even deeper level of questioning than before. Light will continue to shine on disparities and dysfunctional old-paradigm approaches. As that happens, many secrets and much hidden knowledge will be exposed. Truth will come out into the open. Some of this uncovering will involve personal issues that will present themselves in a new way, perhaps escalating into even more of a crisis. When these things occur, if approached intuitively and sanely, doorways will open to allow for resolution. A skilled person who desires to rid herself or himself of a longstanding concern, therefore, may find that this next cycle gives just the spiritual fuel needed to finally complete the healing.

An Important Time To Develop Inner Inquiry

Each person on the planet will be impacted in some way by the accelerated transformational shifting in 2008. It may be conscious or unconscious, but the impact will be there. The challenge will be in connecting the dots and making sense of the opposing forces. Fear-based agendas and actions can be subtle, disguised as something benevolent. Again, remembering the larger view and making sure to regularly question within are the keys to each person's individual progress.

If you feel that your ability for inner inquiry needs to be strengthened, there has never been a more important time to further develop this skill. Having this talent in these pivotal times is not a luxury but a necessity. This ability is developed by first opening to it and then through lots of ongoing practice. Opening to your natural ability to question will take a very strong desire and a willingness to learn new ways of approaching your reality. It will also require an inner strength that does not waver when you feel challenged by others, by the status quo or by unflattering information you receive about yourself. You must be willing to see the truth behind the falseness in everything, including your own human-formed identity. That, too, must be allowed to fall away so that you can discover your true divine self, hidden underneath.

Inner inquiry is also an essential part of developing your intuitive knowing or psychic abilities. Those who have developed their skill of using intuitively guided reason will be in high demand in the times to come. They might call themselves "intuitives," or they might use other language to describe their gifts. Those gifted with intuitive abilities will be needed everywhere — in corporations, government bodies, households and health care facilities, and in the intuitive arts. They will surface to help others not yet skilled in inner inquiry. They will also be able to help other skilled intuitive people who, from time to time, desire additional input from someone outside the conventional paradigm. Sometimes it will be in sharing the results of one's own inner questioning with such a person that the hidden truths of one's dilemma will surface.

Cherishing The Moments

------------------------------------

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that only exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is. (Alan Watts)

---------------------------------------

Gratitude For Who You Are

----------------------------------------

As you learn to love and find the beauty in others, you will become transparent to their energies. You will also be sending love to the part of yourself that has similar feelings. As you learn to love every part of yourself, you will raise your vibration and no longer attract those kinds of people into your life. (Orin & DaBen through Sanaya Roman, from the book, Spiritual Growth: Being Your Higher Self) - www.orindaben.com

Daily Gratitude Affirmation/Intent

The Daily Phrase Of Praise

----------------------------------------

(1) Apply this "phrase of praise" to all the nouns you encounter throughout your day. Write it on a piece of paper & keep it where you'll repeatedly see it & it'll re-mind you to remember to "spend your days in praise." You will feel yourself filling up with the energy of gratitude as you consistently use this phrase throughout your day. Fill your nows with "wows" by routinely using this phrase of praise.

I am immensely grateful to ????

(2) Use this "phrase of praise" as a mantra in the "nows" throughout your day. Concentrate on your breath as you visualize filling up with the essence of this phrase and then breathe out and imagine releasing all that is NOT who you truly are – returning it to Source with gratitude, for all the lessons attained and the many strengths gained from the polarity initiation process of its passing presence as a chapter in your life. Now breathe in your next chapter, breathe in this "phrase of praise," turn the page and let it in.

<Breathe in> I am immensely grateful <Breathe out>
