Fear is often our misperception of a situation. It’s looking through our human eyes and mind rather than the eyes and heart of God. When we face our fears, we become free and empowered. Be brave.

Each day we have countless opportunities to act courageously. Getting up each morning to face the day as an enthusiastic participant takes courage. It takes daring just to live. Champion your courage every day.

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude every day. A thankful consciousness establishes us in the mainstream of the creative flow. When we appreciate what we have, we increase our ability to harvest more abundance.

Sometimes in life we give thanks only when things seem to be going well. When things go awry, we loose sight of all our blessings. By acknowledging the good and blessings in all things, we attract more blessings to us.

An attitude of gratitude opens our life to all the blessings God has showered on us. It’s like a magnet that attracts well-being and multiplies joy and happiness. All good things proceed from thankfulness.

We strengthen and develop our courage by using it. Don’t let it go to waste. Trust in who you are and be all you were created to be by living a courageous life. Invite courage to permeate every aspect of your being.

Courage is moving through uncertainty. Courage is changing when that’s the hardest thing in the world to do. Courage is being responsible for what you’ve created in your life and relinquishing blame.

Why do you defend your limitations? Why do you let fear paralyze you? You can choose differently. Instead let spirit be your guide, with courage at the reins. Courage is going after the things you believe in.

All homes are enriched by bringing nature indoors. Fill your home with sunlight, fresh air and live plants. Besides being attractive, houseplants help clean the air and provide our environment with more oxygen  — enhancing our health. Our body takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide when we breathe. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

We all need a sanctuary in life, a place filled with peace where we can recharge our batteries and replenish our souls. For most of us, this place is our home. A messy, dirty space can cause stress and quickly become overwhelming. Don't let your mess get out of hand. Stay on top of regular chores. Quickly tidy up your home for 12 minutes daily. This will empower, inspire and uplift you.
