Kindle Your Light

"As far

as we

can discern,

the sole

purpose

of human

existence

is to

kindle a light

in the darkness of mere being." ~ Carl Jung

Light is the metaphor for love.

Love yourself.

Love your family.

Love your neighbor.

Love the Higher Power who makes all things possible.

Today, be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant

and be the person the Spirit of the Universe,

the Divine Light, the Great Creator wants you to be.

Today, do not be the seeker of the light, be the

bearer of the flame, the carrier of the good word,

the doer of the kind deed.

Happiness is being the beacon of light God meant you to be.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

The Grand Dream

'You will

achieve

a grand

dream,

a day at

a time,

so set

goals for each day --

not long and difficult projects,

but chores that will take you,

step by step, toward your rainbow." ~ Og Mandino

Today, dream that you can be the good person that you

and your Higher Power expect and want you to be.

Learn that every day, one day at a time, your grand dream

can change and grow as you learn to be patient and tolerant,

willing to live life on God's terms.

Grow your goals with a sense of self respect, a self love,

knowing that you are doing the will of the Great Creator.

Love, the Grand Dream, begins in your heart.

Happiness is living the Grand Dream.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Love Is Sweet

"Fear

secretes

acids;

but

love

and

trust

are

sweet juices." ~ Henry Ward Beecher

Only our minds can create fear.

The mind that is under the influence of evil

thinks it has nothing to fear and believes that

by hiding in the dark it cannot be found.

When change is suggested, when one dares to step

into the light, fear rears it's ugly head and guilt and

shame rule the mind.

Love and trust,

a nice way to say faith in a Higher Power,

will supply the sweet juices that can nourish the

soul that is willing to grow and change.

Love and trust produce the sweet nectar that will

satisfy the thirst to do the next right thing.

Happiness is a glass of sweet juices at every meal.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Surrender the Ego

"No one has

learned

the meaning

of life

until he has

surrendered

his ego

to the service

of his

fellow men." ~ W. Beran Wolfe

The alcoholic and the addict know that it is "all about me".

The wise person who has an inner peace and knows

serenity understands that is all about helping someone

help themselves.

The ego is important, we draw inner strength and our

uniqueness from the self, but we must always look for the

balance in life, the meaning of life, which is to do the will

of a loving Higher Power, using all the talents we possess.

Do not underestimate your talents and skills, however,

do not let your ego manufacture a false sense of pride and

a belief that you really are all that important.

Happiness is finding the balance between self and service.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Happiness Is Good

Be happy,

today is

the first

day

of the

rest of

your life.

"Happiness is the only good.

The time to be happy is now.

The place to be happy is here.

The way to be happy is to make others so."

~ Robert Green Ingersoll

Happiness is an attitude, and if you find yourself

in a bad space, among mean people, doing things

that are repulsive and evil, change.

Today, go to places where you will find kind people

who want to share the love, have a faith in a

Higher Power that will provide and are always

willing to be happy.

Happiness is having your own attitude of gratitude.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Sing Amen

"The

Amen

of

nature

is

always

a

flower."

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Are you the rose, beautiful buds, a delicate flower that

hides the thorns of truth under it;s leaves ?

Are you the lily of the valley, the symbol of peace

and harmony ?

Are you the orchid that remains fresh and vibrant

for a long time ?

Does your beauty stand alone or are you most useful

as a part of the bouquet ?

Today, know that your Higher Power made you exactly

as he wants you to be, do your part to sing the Amen.

Today, remember that even the bad seed, the weed

will have a flower.

Today, think about your legacy, what sort of flower will

others think of when they remember you.

Happiness is a life coming into full bloom.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME and the Boss

Harmony

"Happiness

is when

what you

think,

what you

say,

and

what you

do

are in harmony."

~ Mohandas Gandhi

Think kind thoughts, speak loving words and do

the next right thing and you will find a harmonious

voice of peace and serenity within you.

Once you have found the melody of your desire find

others who sing a similar tune.

Know in your heart that we are all unique, we all have

our own special song to write and if everyone sang the

same song the world would stop moving.

Today, know that a loving Higher Power is the conductor

of this orchestra that we call the Universe and if you sense

that you are out of tune, seek His direction to hit the right notes.

Happiness is being in harmony with the Spirit of the Universe.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Victory

"Never

confuse

a

single

defeat

with

a

final

defeat." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

Did alcohol put you down? Did mean people put you down?

Did being at the wrong place at the wrong time put you down?

Did doing the wrong thing at the wrong time put you down?

Today, stand up again, change the people you associate with,

go to only safe places and learn to do the next right thing.

Everyone fights their own battles, but an army can help you fight

your battle because the army has strength in numbers,

just choose to be on the side of the army of kindness and love.

Victory is one day at a time.

Happiness is a gratitude list of many small victories.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
