When you accept what others say and do, without judgment or evaluation, you’ll be more peaceful and calm. You’ll be able to observe what is without concern or ownership. You’ll no longer have to defend your judgment, prosecute your position, and justify your punishment. Life will be easier.

Now, that doesn’t mean I can’t work to change what is showing up. If it doesn’t serve me, I will work to change it. But, that is best done without assigning good or bad to situation. By fully accepting what shows up as perfect situation for right now I have more power to change it. Since I have embraced it, it is fully within me, and those things I can change. That’s my commitment, knowing full well that God will soon send me ample opportunity to experience my declared state of being. I’m looking forward to it. If you choose to join me, prime yourself to watch your thinking. Be aware of judgments you make that something is good or bad, right or wrong. Observe your body and your feelings--tension and irritation are sure signs that your courtroom is in session. Maybe it’s time to adjourn.

Appreciating what you have now can open doors to receiving so much more.

You have a goal of starting your own business from home and making enough money to support yourself and your family. You would like to get away from relying on someone else to sign your paycheck. That's a common goal shared by many. If you're constantly clamoring for end result, extra income, without appreciating what you already have only thing you'll gain is worry and fear. Worrying about making ends meet and fearing that you won't succeed with your business venture.

What you need to do is sit back for a moment and try to recall a time when your basic needs weren't met. There may have been times that were harder than others but weren't you always taken care of in one way or another? If you focus too hard on future and what might happen you'll lose sight of those moments that are happening right now. Those moments could be some of most remarkable ones of your life. So shouldn't you change your focus a little and appreciate where you're at now?

The path of appreciation always leads to path of success.
