Aloha Friends,

It’s another beautiful day in paradise. Every day is a great day, some just different from others.

Every so often, I feel the need to express (explain) how I feel because often people will misinterpret or misunderstand what they thought I said. Or, it just may be what they wanted to hear. I am known for speaking my mind, heart and feelings, this too often is misunderstood or, misinterpreted.

As you may have noticed, I often express the idea of “being blessed”. I know, because I am often asked about this very idea, being blessed.

Over my many years of self-reflection, to get to the bottom of who I am, I have come up with a philosophy of life and living. I know it is different from many others but, I too have learned, that being different is not necessarily a bad, or negative thing.

Of the many character and personality traits human beings can manifest, my personal favorite, is GRATITUDE. I have adopted this one trait as my favorite. In my morning ritual when I become consciously awake, gratitude is at the top of my list of daily affirmations.

I know many of you are familiar with the concept of prayer, so, I will use it here to explain my perception of prayer and gratitude.

Prayer and gratitude are energies we release into the universe as fervent statements of what is in our hearts. Most people mistakenly use prayer as a means of supplication, not appreciation. Prayers are often used as a means of asking for needs and wants, not for what the creator intended, as a means of expressing gratitude and appreciation for the blessing you already experience. Counting one’s blessing and prayers are no different. They are ways in which we express to the creator and the universe who we are for what we have.

I experience this “miracle” daily, because of who I am, I thank the creator in advance for what I already have in my life, not what I lack and feel I need or want. I ask for nothing. This expression of thanking, is powerful because it sets into motion the law of attraction. By expressing your gratitude and appreciation for what you already experience, the creator and the universe will continue giving you more of the blessings you declare you already experience. This is how the universe works, the issue with Man is he believes he wants and needs, because he feels a sense of lack in his life. When you feel a sense of lack and “not enough-ness” in your life, one can feel a false sense of what you think you deserve, and may look for ways to possess things without having to earn it.

The universe was created with an overabundance of everything. The creator knew one of the qualities expressed by Man is greed. Many human beings intrinsically feel they don’t have enough, love, energy, time and money, or abundance, but they do, and don’t appreciate it. It’s this feeling of lack which produces the ideas of needing and wanting.

If you keep talking “sh--,” you are bound to attract more flies and lies into your life and experience fear, hatred, envy, jealousy, anxiety, worry, depression, frustration, disappointment and unhappiness along with a host of smaller flies.

Don’t supplicate, express gratitude and appreciate.

Much Love and Light.
