Perspective

My Morning Prayer
By Mastin Kipp

Today I awake to start my journey all over again. I understand that I will most likely face both inner and outer adversaries and tests which will challenge me on the path to my Happiness. I accept that these challenges are necessary for the development of my Highest Potential and that they are actually a gift from the Universe, even if I can't see it right now.
I am grateful for the friends and assistance I have along the way, and acknowledge that they too are gifts from the Universe. I cannot do this alone so I consider all of those who I come into contact with, even perceived enemies, as allies. For we are all one in Spirit and here to help each other develop dormant parts of ourselves; and sometimes the only way to grow is through overcoming adversity.
The choices I make today will be for my best interest, and I will put my faith and self-esteem to the test by choosing to do the things which will require action and courage.
I will conquer one more fear today so that when this day is over, I will be one day wiser and my heart will be one day closer to being open to Love.
There is no one else like me in the whole world, so I step forward into this day fully accepting and loving whatever may come and am grateful for the opportunity to be exactly who I am.

Going With the Flow

Open Your Heart
By Mastin Kipp

Open your heart
To LoveTo life
To living in the moment
By allowing what is to be
And what you know to be true
To come forth
Hold the space of Trust
In the best and
The worst circumstances
The circumstances and happenings of your life
Are a great Divine recipe for your Soul's perfection
Do not judge any of it
Accept it, go with it
And change what you want
By changing your thoughts about
How you interpret the comings and goings
See it all as being for you
Even what you think is the worst
A time will come, when you will finally see
The contents of this moment as the biggest Gift
The greatest act of Grace
Open your heart
Trust each moment, see it's perfection
And dive into the intoxicating bliss
Of trusting Love through ALL OF IT

Check Up

I had my annual checkup at the cardiologist today. Even though I am feeling great, why do I still feel so very fragile when I go there? It's like all those emotions of my near death experience come rushing back. I'm hoping I can use this as a reminder of how thankful I am that I'm still here, healthy & happy and, come to think of it, actually my life is better than before.

Transparency

Don't you wish people were this transparent....not literally, but I wish we could all be this real about what we feel on the inside. So often the misunderstandings come from not realizing how someone feels. When you do come across someone who is truly transparent, it is so refreshing!
