Affirmation: I find love everywhere | Inspirational Quotes and Sayings

Here is an awesome affirmation for you, for today or any day:

I am very grateful for all the love in my life. I find it everywhere.

When we look for the love in every situation, with every person we are with… in any given moment, it is so amazing how it works… we start seeing it and finding it everywhere we go. If you write this affirmation down and keep it with you, or put it up around your house somewhere that you will see it, and read it, I think you’ll be surprised at how much love you will find at every turn you make!

I am reminded of the verse from the Bible – from Corinthians 13:4-7:

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I remember this verse from when I was a very little girl going to church with my parents. This was always one of my favorites… and it sticks with me to this day. I admit, it is one of the verses that left me pondering the question of why all the people didn’t understand this and live in these words. I think that I was born to share and illuminate love on this planet. I think we were all born to share and illuminate love on this planet. I think there is no greater task for anyone to accept as their true heart’s calling.

You don’t have to be famous, you don’t have to be rich or highly educated or be in a position of influence or power to have a profound effect on the world. Really, all you have to do is love and be loved. There is nothing greater than that.

The Light is One | Inspirational Quotes

I have spent many years in my life collecting inspirational quotes and sayings. I have a collection that surpasses many, I believe. But now, with the internet, inspirational quotes are just a few keystrokes away at any given moment.

I remember reading Rumi quotes long before they were able to be found everywhere. I studied Eastern religion and I have always been an avid fan of J.D. Salinger (he quotes a lot of Eastern poets and philosophers in his books). There is really just something about Rumi that touches our hearts. The quote that is the subject of this post is no different. It goes straight to the heart and the truth of things. It is the embodiment of divine inspiration, if you will.

“The candles are many but the light is one.” This expresses exactly what I see as being the human experience, the human truth. As humans, we are each a candle unto ourselves, but the light that emanates from us is from the same source, and in fact, is the same light.

Whatever name you have for the creative energy that is responsible for our existence on this planet, I believe that is the source of this light. Some force of energy created us, and that same force holds us together. When we look inside of our hearts, or our soul, or our spirit, or whatever we see as what gives us breath, we can see a light. I ask you to look at this light right now. Is it big? Is it small? Is it steady or does it flicker? Whatever it looks like, expand it out… watch it grow. See how big you can make it.

This is, in my experience, the very light of the Creator, the Universe… God, if you like. This is the light that animates us. This is the light that gives us breath. It is where we came from and it is where we will return to.

And yes. We are individuals. We are here in this human form so that we can experience this individuality. But that does not mean that we are not all one light. We are many candles… but the light is one.

I love this quote. It really is inspirational. It reminds me of who I really am. I hope it reminds you of who you really are, too… and inspires you to shine your light a little bigger and a little brighter every day.

You Can Acquire Personal Power Through Self-Development | Inspired Action

It is the natural right of every human being to be happy to escape all the miseries of life. Happiness is the normal condition, as natural as the landscapes and the seasons. Happiness is the product of wisdom. To attain perfect wisdom, to comprehend fully the purpose of life, to realize completely the relationship of human beings to each other, is to put an end to all suffering, to escape every ill and evil that afflicts us. Perfect wisdom is unshadowed joy.

Because in the scheme of nature we are being forced forward in evolution and we lack the spiritual illumination that alone can light the way and enable us to move safely among the obstacles that lie before us. Aside from these greater tragedies of life innumerable things of lesser consequence continually bring to us minor heartaches and little miseries. The thing we lack is the spiritual illumination that will enable us to look far and wide, finding the hidden causes of human suffering and revealing the method by which they may be avoided; and if we can but reach illumination the evolutionary journey can be made both comfortably and swiftly.

The theory was that when a man was born he was a completed human being and that all that could be done for him was to load him up with information that would be used with more or less skill, according to the native ability he happened to be born with. The theosophical idea is that the physical man, and all that constitutes his life in the physical world, is but a very partial expression of the self; that in the ego of each there is practically unlimited power and wisdom; that these may be brought through into expression in the physical world as the physical body and its invisible counterparts, which together constitute the complex vehicle of the ego’s manifestation, are evolved and adapted to the purpose; and that in exact proportion that conscious effort is given to such self-development will spiritual illumination be achieved and wisdom attained.

Chiefly because it separates us from those we love. The only other reason why death brings grief or fear is because we do not understand it and comprehend the part it plays in human evolution.

Why do we have enemies from whose words or acts we suffer? Because in our limited physical consciousness we do not perceive the unity of all life and realize that our wrong thinking and doing must react upon us through other people a situation from which there is no possible escape except through ceasing to think evil and then patiently awaiting the time when the causes we have already generated are fully exhausted. When spiritual illumination comes, and we no longer stumble in the night of ignorance, the last enemy will disappear and we shall make no more forever.

Why do people suffer from poverty and disease? Only because of our blundering ignorance that makes their existence possible for us, and because we do not comprehend their meaning and their lessons, nor know the attitude to assume toward them. Had we but the wisdom to understand why they come to people, why they are necessary factors in their evolution, they would trouble us no longer. When nature’s lesson is fully learned these mute teachers will vanish.

And so it is with all forms of suffering we experience. When we have comprehended the lessons they teach they are no longer necessary and disappear.

To attain perfect wisdom, to comprehend fully the purpose of life, to realize completely the relationship of human beings to each other, is to put an end to all suffering, to escape every evil and ill that afflicts us. Because in the scheme of nature we are being forced forward in evolution and we lack the spiritual illumination that alone can light the way and enable us to move safely among the obstacles that lie before us. The thing we lack is the spiritual illumination that will enable us to look far and wide, finding the hidden causes of human suffering and revealing the method by which they may be avoided; and if we can but reach illumination the evolutionary journey can be made both comfortably and swiftly. Because in our limited physical consciousness we do not perceive the unity of all life and realize that our wrong thinking and doing must react upon us through other people a situation from which there is no possible escape except through ceasing to think evil and then patiently awaiting the time when the causes we have already generated are fully exhausted. Only because of our blundering ignorance that makes their existence possible for us, and because we do not comprehend their meaning and their lessons, nor know the attitude to assume toward them.

Does Your Place Need a Clearing?

House and Business Clearings and Blessings

There are many reasons to do an energetic clearing and/or blessing of your home or workplace, and having them done can truly be inspired action for you and/or your business!

Sometimes buildings and homes can feel heavy, or may seem to be filled with unexplained tension that may lead to arguments with the people that live in or share the space. Sometimes unhappy, emotional energy, from past or current occupants can build up in a space, and sometimes spirits or entities can occupy a building. In these cases, these energies need to be removed from the space.

Many times, clearing energy, spirits or other entities from a home can help improve communication within families and others that share the same space. Clearing a home or workplace can create a more peaceful environment in which to live or do your job. Clearing a business, itself, can create the space for the business to grow to become more bountiful and prosperous.

With a House or Business Clearing, you can experience a shift away from heavy, burdensome feelings in a space, create balanced energy and comfort in the building, providing for a peaceful sanctuary to escape from life’s worries. Following the clearing with a House or Business Blessing can often bring extra happiness, joy and abundance to the building and its occupants!
