After listening to a friend during a fit of complaining, and as I listened to my own inner self-talk, I realized that all the complaints we make are based on things outside ourselves that we perceive as imperfect. We rarely hear people complaining about their own behavior, but often they complain about the behavior of others, or the government, or the weather.

If we didn’t waste so much time projecting outward, using our myopic viewpoints to judge everything around us, we’d have more time to project inward, to root out our own faults and take joy in our spiritual relationships.

The more we focus inward on our spiritual growth, the happier we’ll be, and the happier those around us can be.

Eliminate complaints forever!

Affirm: I focus on perfecting my own being.

Today’s affirmation: “I connect with the source of joy and know I am loved.”

We connect with joy through meditation. This joy comes through the heart chakra and is illuminated through the crown chakra. Meditate for joy, for peace, for happiness. And you will, without a doubt, know you are dearly loved by the Divinity that surrounds you and pervades your being.

A simple but powerful affirmation today: “Life is beautiful and I am happy.”

Dispel all negativity by affirming that indeed we have a life in which beauty plays a great part, and there’s no reason to deny ourselves happiness. Saying this line ten times gives a ray of sunshine… a direct connection to the beauty of Spirit within us.
