Smiles and Ripples…

“Remember that there is no such thing as a small act of kindness.
Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”  Scott Adams

I think it would be fun to follow a smile some day and see just  how far around the world it might travel.  Don’t you?  You wouldn’t have to be in a major metropolitan area in these tech connected times — just a few clicks of a mouse and around the world we go!  How different the world might be if just one smile went round the world a a “few” times and touched everyone’s lips just once …. hmmmm, I wonder………..  (click)

“When you wholeheartedly adopt a “with all your heart” attitude and go all out with the positive principle you can do incredible things.”  – Norman Vincent Peale

The Nurtured Heart Approach™ brings us to a new level of recognizing who we are and who others are more powerfully and consistently if we choose to look at them with our “new” eyes and  hearts of greatness.  As we do this — you’ll begin to notice so much more in the way the universe holds GREATNESS out to you.  It’s yours to behold.

 

 

the beauty within

“The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.” –Kahlil Gibran

What will you choose to see today?  Will you allow yourself to see the beauty that is or will you be pressed by the negativity of the day and only see the covering of the book and not look beyond and miss what may unfold in the pages between?  There is so much more for us to see and behold — we so often miss it because we get caught up in what’s going wrong in the moment.  Stop and reset.  Look for the good, the great, the beautiful!  It’s there and glistening and waiting for us to reach out and grab hold of it. Do you see it?  Ah, you do…. Enjoy!

Yesterday, a friend shared the following video with me… I want to share it with you.  It’s well worth your 15 minutes of time.  I hope you’ll find a good read this week and discover the “beauty within” the covers of a book as well.

“All things are possible to a believing heart.”   – Flavia Weeden

One of the miracles in using Nurtured Heart Approach™   is that not only do our children and co-workers benefit from the use of the tools and techniques of Greatness, but we as adults are often the first to “flip and transform.” We can’t help it! Keep going! It’s a beautiful journey.

Take the next 60 seconds and honor yourself for the choices you’ve created and achieved so far today.

“Each life is like a letter of the alphabet.  Alone it can be meaningless; or it can be a part of a great(er) meaning.”  – Unknown

Something I have noticed over the years is that there is an increase in caring, concern and love between those who are directly influenced by the application of Nurtured Heart Approach™.  You can’t help but have that happen because your heart is more in tune with what is going on and you see more through your heart – feel more – are more.

Be Present

 

“… To me every hour of night and day is a a miracle, Every
cubic inch of space a miracle.”  Walt Whitman

There was a time when I overlooked those first breaths of the day or even opening my eyes.  But not any more.  What a blessing and a miracle each of those are in my life.  I am truly blessed to be present every day to honor those again and again and be thankful that I can witness them another day.  While this may seem a bit trite to some — how often do we marvel at the beauty of a sunset or rainbow? Do we think we’ll never see one again?  Have we witnessed the colors of a rainbow over and over and yet, thanked the heavens for the beauty and run for a camera in hopes we’ll capture it knowing that we’ll never ever see that exact formation or those colors in just that way again, even if we stood in the same place again at the same time on the same day a year  from now.

Now is your moment. Be present for the miracles that are all around you today.

Seeing is the gift

“When we see with our hearts, every moment is the most wonderful gift in the world.”

As humans, we’re primed to looked for the negative.  We see it every day — in the news, splashed on every headline, tweeted, texted and blasted in every energetic way possible.  Movies, games, books and other media focus in on the negative things happening in our world.  Eventually, that energy may effect the way we look at things.  We hear it at the office, our kids hear it in the classroom, on the playground, at play dates, and all too often, at home.

We often get so wrapped up in the negative energy surrounding an event, we “miss” the joy in all the other things that are going right in that very same moment.  And if you stopped to look, you could and would most likely be able to overshadow the negative event in let’s say, 10x the number of events going right in that very moment — rules or molecules of success.  The “joy” is what you choose to celebrate with your energy and relationship.  Choose and see the gifts of  relationship and energy with your heart today.

Celebrate now, there won’t be another moment just like it again. You can’t help but feel the flow of positive energy when you choose to live in your heart.

miracles in molecules

“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” e.e. cummings

Believe in YOU!  Recognize the greatness that is deep within– take those momentous molecules and use those to build with. Those are your miracles! One moment at a time… believe in YOU!

It’s an exciting and transformative experience to stand in your greatness. What is going well right now?  Take those things and work with them.  Those are your miracles in molecules right now.  Believe that you’ll see more today.  I DO!

No meds necessary…

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming.”  Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The greatness that is in all of us is just begging to be released.  This is R.A.K week.  Random Acts of Kindness week.  What better way to share and treat others in the ways we know their GREATNESS is to be valued and treasured.  When we treat someone to a random act of kindness, are we not helping them to see their inner wealth?  Are we not showing them who they really are?  In that one instance, I want what I do to say with quiet fearlessness — “See your worth, and step into your Greatness.  YOU ARE!”

There’s a side benefit to all of this that someone may have forgotten to tell you:  You are not only helping them fill their bucket of greatness, but you’re filling your own at the same time.  It’s a win-win situation for all.  Feel good today and every-day!  Get a natural high!
