The Perfect Gift

December 19, 2022

It’s About Peace, My Friend.

Much of the world is lost in wanting as well as creating conflict over what they perceive they don’t have.

However, you can be a bringer of peace.

Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me and you.

When you feel anxiety, ask yourself what you’re wanting.

The perfect gift? You’re more likely to find it if you’re relaxed.

Getting the house in order or landing a business deal? If you’re feeling good, you’ll spread holiday cheer to your guests or clients – and they’ll feel better around you.

Want more business or money? When you’re emotionally calm, you’re more receptive to ideas that will bring you both. Or they’ll be drawn to you like Santa Claus to cookies.

Choose peace over:

  • Wanting approval and love from others.
  • Wanting things to be a certain way so you’ll feel safe.
  • Trying to get power by controlling stuff that’s out of your control.

When you recognize that you have ALL of these  –  approval, safety, and control  –  within you now, there’s no need to chase after them.

Imagine the peace you can feel when you:

  • Let go of people pleasing as well as wanting approval and love from others. You’ll be more able to discover that you already have approval and love within you. It’s an inside job.
  • Let go of wanting to feel safe and secure so you can realize you already are. No amount of money, nothing, and noone can make you feel safe if you don’t allow yourself to feel secure within yourself.
  • Let go of the need to defend and explain yourself. Take action to take care of yourself, and observe that fearful, inner ranting gets in the way of effectiveness. 
  • Let go of wanting to control others and situations. Nobody can give you power because you are already empowerd from within. 

Make peace your highest priority, and experience greater success.

Don’t take my word for it. Test it out for yourself.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, a Blessed Kwanzaa, and a wonderful holiday season to you!

May peace be unto you, my friend.

THE PERFECT GIFT:  being and sharing peace. And you don’t have to be perfect to share the perfect gift.


With gratitude,

Virginia

Is Peace Really Possible? If So, How??

December 20, 2021

Much of the world is lost in their wanting of something.

As a result, people feel bad or create conflict over what they perceive as lack  what they want but don’t have. In essence, they want things like better health or relationships or weight, a better life, more money, people to behave and believe differently and on and on.

This also means that whatever they have or feel is not good enough. Not enough. The real nemesis.

Could this possibly apply to you, too?

When you feel anxiety, ask yourself what you’re wanting. Even in simple things, such as:

  • Feeling stressed because you want to give the perfect gift? You’re more likely to find it if you’re relaxed.
  • Anxious because you want to get your house in order before company comes or want to land a business deal? If you’re feeling good, you’ll spread holiday cheer to your guests or clients – and they’ll feel better around you.
  • Worried about wanting more money, better health, your ideal partner or better relationships? When you’re emotionally calm, you’re more receptive to insights. Ideas and opportunities will be drawn to you like Santa Claus finds cookies.

Can li’l ole YOU make a difference in this big, crazy world?

YES!

With each person who feels greater peace within, the world becomes more peaceful. Just like anger is infectious, so is the feeling of peace. 

Which do you choose to propagate? Fear, anger, worry, frustration OR peace?

You have a choice. Sound impossible?

Do you think that you can’t help the way you feel because it’s someone else’s fault or your challenging circumstances are to blame? Wouldn’t everybody complain if they were in your shoes?

Here’s how you can begin to break that cycle, change your attitude and create a life of greater peace.

What’s the source that creates such stress?

Lack of peace comes from:

  • wanting approval from others
  • wanting to control circumstances (that are sometimes out of your control) or others’ choices and how they show up in the world
  • wanting to be free of a fear of lacking safety and security.

Can these really be the culprits of all that suffering? Yep. These three wants are the roots of what create any lack of peace!

The secret is switching your energy from wanting to having… then what you choose can come to you with grace and ease.

You can choose to experience greater peace!

First, decide that being at peace is your highest priority, more than wanting approval and love, wanting security or wanting control. (In other words, more than unconsciously wanting things that end up making you feel miserable, depressed, stressed, frustrated, fearful, worried or any crappy feeling you do NOT want.)

How?

  • Let go of wanting approval and love so you can discover that you already have approval and love. It’s an inside job, not something anyone can give you.
  • Let go of wanting to be safe and secure so you can realize you already are. If you’re trying to get this from others or feel you need more money, things, love, etc. to be happy, remember that they could be taken from you anyway. You’ll discover that you’re already safe and secure as long as you stop fearing that you’re not.
  • Let go of wanting control. No amount of trying to control external sources will ever be satisfying. You already have control, but it’s within you.
  • Let go of the need to defend yourself. What are you defending except a false sense of self? 

If you make peace your highest priority, you’ll experience greater success in all areas of your life.

You’ll find that you’ll attract those who are more peaceful, and peace will ripple to others. Li’l ole you changing the world toward greater peace.

As I’m not going to try to control what you believe, may you enjoy your holiday season in a way that’s meaningful to you and your faith.

Peace be unto you, my friend.
