Virtue, Even Attempted Virtue, Brings Light

Virtue, Even Attempted Virtue, Brings Light

         Trying to do the right thing can make the difference and is quite the enhancment to many situations.  We can make strides forward to build up our self-esteem and get to amazing levels.

         Virtue is defined as “standard of right”, as well as “a particular moral excellence”.  As long as we’re headed in the right direction, anything we do is progress to achieve success.

         In Star Wars, Master Yoda said, “Do or do not.  There is no try.”  But the “Try” accomplishes more than we think possible.  What we imagine as helpful lifts others and ourselves to greater heights.

         Getting inspired to take that next step might be magnificently needed to propel us onward as we reach for phenomenal results.  Seeing resulting light illuminates so much perspective and brightens our senses.

         Virtue fills our being with tremendous goodness, and also the light brought out is an opportunity to spill it onto others.  We have incredible chances to do terrific deeds and bless many along the way.  Be virtuous!

We All Belong!

We All Belong!

         We rely on each other as a Support Group and are responsible to others for many things.  Going through this life alone is not the ideal way that makes sense.

         Getting inspiration can come from varied sources, allowing us to proceed to brighter futures.  Our connections to one another gives us so much hope and lifts us toward greater heights.

         Putting ourselves in good environments gives added benefits for us that we can achieve tremendous outcomes.  Being amidst a community to raise us in ways with renewed perspectives as goals sets our sights on a prize greater than we envisioned.

         Belonging to a Support Group encourages us immensely, plus gives many opportunities for sharing blessings.  As we amass collections, then the favors to bestow on others are magnificent.

         I heard, “The reason we don’t have peace in our world is that we’ve forgotten that we belong to each other.”  Just came across a quote from yester-year, “The things we experience don’t define us.  But they might refine us.”  Seeing ourselves connected can make all the difference!

Verso l’Alto

Verso l’Alto

         This phrase means “To the heights”, and it is attributed to a man that died in 1924.  Pier Giorgio Frassati was canonized a saint with Carlo Acutis on September 7^th, by Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican,

         Carlo Acutis has said, “We are all born as originals.  But some die as photocopies.”  Stay unique, don’t try to be someone else.  I’ve heard, “Be yourself, everyone else is taken.”

         If only we pay attention to the words of others, we can gain so much richness added to our own journey.  Picking up gems may reflect brighter things as they shine joy into us and give us more to share with others.

         As we attempt to climb higher the world could witness the gleaming that exudes from us as it propels into our surroundings.  Being aloft and to look down we get a newer perspective at which to smile.

         When we absorb the gifts offered to us, there is such richness added to our coffers and we can bless all brought to our path.  Grabbing life with gusto is a challenge we all face.  Reach for the heights, but be unique too!

Be On Pilgrimage

Be On Pilgrimage

         A friend returned from a vacation and told me he was going to stop vacationing, but he would still travel,  He looked for something spiritual in each journey, and they became pilgrimages.

         That changed my own travels as I started seeking spiritual things as part ot experiences and added richness to viewpoints.  Even close places held newer perspectives with brighter points giving tremendous insights.

         Since my friend’s revelation regarding the gift of sensing much more in the simple observances I’ve gained immense light that has been spilled my way.  I am a pilgrim whether near or far, in soaking up what is offered to me wherever it comes from and in whatever way it appears.

         Travels are enhanced and beauty is noticed in various places as long as we’re open to possibilities.  Inspiring and energizing us to further insight lifts our spirits magnificently and is a self-esteem builder extraordinaire.

         Any environment we find ourselves in offers tremendous blessings, to raise us with phenomenal energy.  Being open can infuse so much into our lives filling us to an overflowing level.  Get a renewed view, share it with all,

Give The World Joy

Give The World Joy

         Our community is hungry and thirsty for us to infuse it with joyful input as much as we can give.  We can be influencers with such positivity that is uplifting in some incredible ways.

         The present we offer is precious as well as valued and valuable a gift to one or more people.  Our environment can be enhanced in tremendous ways, and what they receive may be shared with all brought to their path.

         Inspiration and energizing would be transferred to any that are open to such possibilities.  Joy can be multiplied to bring us to a newer height to experience feelings we may not have imagined probable.

         Taking in perspectives that propel us to magnificent levels and gives gifts to shine brightly in our lives.  We must unpack what we’ve gotten and put to productive use for them to be blessings.

         Our chances to make the world a better place are choices we have to give off ourselves that improves our surroundings.  A joyful outcome tends to be a perspective changer for all that are touched by it.  Give generously,

Adjust Your Sails

Adjust Your Sails

         Do we feel like we can’t direct the wind we face?  Then we should adjust our sails.  When we aren’t able to control the challenges we face, there is so much to do in our reactions.

         Actually “react” may be not right, but response could be the proper thing to do.  We recognize and honor First Responders, not first reactors when called for and needed.

         To respond is approaching with a level of calmness and thought out methods of handling situations.  Openness to receive guidance is being willing to let someone help us and stand beside us.

         Opportunities to become the best version of ourselves is growth we accept as a precious gift handed to us, but it must be unwrapped and put to good use.  Thoughtful and planned responses can result in any productive outcomes possible.

         We may get buffeted in many ways, but our journey could be one of goodness for us and others.  When we’re open to adjustments then sights ahead can be fulfilling.  Sail onward, make a difference.

At All C.O.S.T.s!

At All C.O.S.T.s!

         A friend shared a homily he heard -- Choose Jesus daily, Obey Jesus daily, Surrender and serve Jesus daily, Trust Jesus daily.  The first words’ first letters spell COST.  These are great reminders to stay focused.

         Getting inspiration from other’s ideas boosts our self-esteem as well as the mindset to proceed onward.  To Choose-Obey-Surrender/Serve-and -Trust helps each of us remain on task.

         Being in an environment that allows us to thrive can be a blessing for any participants achieving the most life has to offer.  The price of living our life is realizing it is valued and valuable and precious.

         When we notice our Child of God status, it elevates us to incredibly grand levels.  Jesus asking His disciples, “Who do yo say that I am?”, and Peter responding, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” taught me, his words were “We see your Family connection, and we want a piece of that.”

         Gaining perspective from another’s insights takes us further into our journey and fills our coffers with blessings.  We are richer because of all we are willing to receive as gifts.  Unwrap and put to good use all we’re given.

Contribute, And Unlock Brilliance

Contribute, And Unlock Brilliance

         Any actions we take have the potential to add beauty to areas of our environments and enhance situations in the midst of us.  We may not see what we’ve done as enough, but stepping back for a bigger perspective might be the needed step.

         Catching inspiration could come from various sources as long as we are open to the possibility.  Plus someone may sense some things that are appearing hidden or beyond our own recognition.

         Receiving feedback might be the boost to get us to that next level to reveal so much potential.  The words, ideas or pictures shared with us can be uplifting immensely and propel us toward some incredible things.

         Sitting in silence may show insights if we use that quiet effectively to receive what feeds us with fulfillment.  The “something” we give out of our resources might be just what others need as they are coping with their own challenges and situations.

         Any one of us may not realize our need or want till we get the things from another refocus ourselves with newness.  The brilliance opened up for us could bring unimagined likelihoods close.  Receive and shine!

Hitting The "PAUSE" Button

Hitting The "PAUSE" Button

         Sometimes we need breaks and have to hit the “Pause” button that gives us some respite amidst our busy lives.  But “wait, wait, wait”, there is so much in PAUSE-ibilities in the realm to energize us toward an amazing direction.

         Periods of relaxation can give us refreshing energy to handle tasks that challenge our pathway.  When we’re given inspiration to change the direction toward renewal there might be hope-filled moments that fill us.

         Sensing things anew could be the needed perspective to cherish a spark leading us to unimagined heights.  Going back to places would bring alive some memories and rekindle possible rejoicing.

         Slowing down our lifestyle may be the adjustment that is right for our lives befitting the perfect action we need.  We could have any PAUSE-itive ramifications and results flow out of the deeds we accomplish.

         When it is on the line a pause can make quite a difference and a try at rethinking solutions.  A delay in the scheduling extends time we have to work through. Take a “PAUSE”, and recover to full health.
