“With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.”Dr. Wayne W Dyer

Remember our Positive Resources Page

Sunset 5-28-14 022

This seems to be a good time to remind everyone about our 101+ Positive Resources page.  These resources were personally selected by me.   I have been through the list repeatedly to make sure these are resources that our readers will be able to use and that all links are still working.  I am still adding appropriate materials as I run across them.  Feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions.

Enjoy browsing this page, bookmark it for easy reference and don’t forget to tell your friends.

“Nurture your mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.” – Benjamin Disraeli

Inspiration from John Denver

We have a great quote that was already scheduled for today, but I decided to add an extra post.  Why?  When I heard a beautiful song during church services I knew I had to share it.  When the pastor got up to speak after the special music she said, “Anyone else need a tissue?”  This is powerful.  It will move you.  Be inspired.

A Simple Discipline: Positive Inspiration

One of the most effective tools we can add to our spiritual practice is watching, listening to or reading positive inspiration daily.  Espirational is built upon this.  I hope you use it in this way and find it helpful.

So why is this important?

  1.  First, to counteract the negative messages we are bombarded with daily.  Don’t just watch the nightly news also surround yourself with the positive.
  2.  It is also a way to learn and absorb teachings so they are always available to us when we need them.  I use music for this.  That is why there are so many music videos here and why “I Release and I Let Go” shows up from time to time.

Reading of scripture or daily devotional material is important and a good way to get the positive word inside of us.  However I also believe that we can use the various other media available to us.  Sometimes a message that we just don’t get by reading or hearing a sermon just slips right into our mind and heart on music or video.

So let’s have a little fun this month.
