Desire is Essential True desire is divine. If you re desiring things, it could only come from one of two places: 1. God/spirit trying to express God/spirit with and through you; OR 2. From a dysfunctional place inside of yourself. Holding the Truth above everything else is vitally important to know which it is. Spirit gave you desire so that you could create more life and grow. Who Are YOU? There are four important parts to who you are. 1. You are a spiritual being. Your spirit is eternal. 2. You live in a physical body. From that physical body, you take action in the world and express what is inside of you. 3. You are gifted with an intellect. Your ability to think or reason is different from any other life form on the planet. The way you choose to use that intellect, think about things, ask questions and evaluate your life determines the fourth part of who you are, which is your emotions. 4. You have emotions. Your emotions give you a lot of information and they are very important in telling you how you are thinking. If you are feeling bad emotionally, it s important to look at what s going on in your thoughts. You want to bring order to your understanding and remove any confusion. As the confusion leaves, you are able to make new choices and do something different with your life, and not get stuck in an emotion like depression, despair, sadness, anger, frustration.

Gratitude Practices 1. To bring yourself into a space of gratitude right now, make a list of all the abundance that is allowing you to sit here, and have all that you have today in this moment. Who built the chair you are sitting in? Who made the clothes you are wearing? Where did the toothpaste you are about to use come from? The food you ate for dinner? The shoes you wore today? The car you drove or the train you rode? Think about all of the amazing people and resources that made your day possible. 2. Everytime you eat or drink, give thanks for the hands that grew, prepared and delivered your food or water. Give thanks to the animals and plants that gave of their lives so you could be nourished. This is a fundamental thing to be grateful for each and every day. 3. Each night before bed, either write down or speak to a loved one (lover, partner, sibling, child, parent ) about everything that happened today that you are grateful for. What went well today? What experiences, people and moments am I grateful for? This is a beautiful ritual with which to complete your day. 4. In moments of stress or when you realize you are in a challenging emotional state, pause and close your eyes and think of 5 things or 5 people you are grateful for. Keep your focus on what s good.
