The Power of Boldness

I hope your weekend has been a time for rest and relaxation.  Time is a gift and now that you have time make use of it to grow.  Meditate daily and contemplate about your life and what direction you want to take.  Your thoughts have great power to create the things that you think about that is why it is important to have positive thoughts and even when people are negative toward you, don't feed into it.  Rise above it and see only the positive in them.  Don't criticize.  As you follow these basic teachings that I have learned from my two Teachers and put them into practice you will experience an inner shift.  Whatever leads you toward positive and beneficial things for yourself and others leads to spiritual growth.  If it's negative and harmful to you or others it is going to take away the Power that you have aligned with through your meditation and trust in your Higher Power.  Ethical living is the cornerstone to spiritual life and I follow the teachings given by my Master to be vegetarian.  Studies correlate violence with meat eating.  How much easier it is to have more peaceful positive thoughts when a eating plant based diet.  Read on line about the benefits for yourself.  Visit this website www.VeggieFest.org for recipes and information about vegetarian foods.  Be healthy and enjoy the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.
Yesterday I read an email from Amanda Trujillo an RN in Arizona who is under investigation for advocating for her patient who was scheduled for a liver transplant.  He had not been given information by his doctor about hospice and requested further guidance when Amanda spoke with him about his options.  Amanda was reported by the doctor to the AZ SBRN who chose to file charges.  Amanda is a PhD candidate and has a daughter.  She wrote that her home and car are due to be repossessed.  I have asked if I can call her on a weekend when she is able to spend time describing what life has been like for her and if I can share that with you.  Many nurses are under investigation and/or discipline and like Amanda is unable to find a job because employers are afraid of being involved with an investigation I suppose.  Amanda has wanted to research about political support and/or lack of in various states but for the time being she is distracted by the realities of having to deal with loans and lack of income.  I have encouraged her to think about running for Office at some point as she is bright and can do a great deal to influence state law if elected.  I would very much like for a TV station to pick up on Amanda's case and interview her to give public attention to her plight.
I hope this quote will help motivate you to move forward with your life and make the necessary changes you need to in order to earn money.  Before my yoga class today I had thought I'd ask Jeanette my teacher for a quote and she had a book with her which I liked so I copied this one especially for you.  That is an example of how the law of attraction works and how things are drawn to you.  Watch this happen in your own life.  Read quotes by Oprah and learn how she thinks as she is strong in this area and obviously has gained a huge following and huge money too which is my wish for each and every one of you.  And YES you can!!

Whatever you can do

or dream you can,

begin it.

Boldness has genius, magic

and power in it.

Begin it now.

Goethe

When you learn to have a more positive outlook problems will still arise and when that one is taken care another will be waiting around the corner.  What is different is how you perceive the problem and you will gain an inner confidence and trust in yourself to muster all the inner strength and outer resources to work it out.  Mandela said that things seem to be impossible until it's done.  And that is really what we are living with when undergoing a state board investigation/discipline.  Know you can get it done and move ahead with your life during the process.  

Be happy and have fun.  Breathe deeply and find the space inside that allows you to find rest and peace.  A still point that you can experience within and a place you can go whenever you wish.  Meditate daily and that is a discipline that you will have to make a personal commitment toward doing.  Start with ten to fifteen minutes daily and increase to an hour.  Keep a journal and monitor your thoughts and how you feel when you think certain thoughts.  Are the thoughts beneficial or true?  Which ones need to be weeded out?

I will be posting each day with a quote and share some part of my own experience or what others have shared with me.

Rest assured that you have the inner power through your Higher Power to create a wonderful life and work though the challenges that you are now facing.

With much respect and good wishes to you all, Rita.
