Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you enjoy your day and find some way to celebrate the LOVE of the season today and everyday of your lives. Love is the real reason why we are here today. Spread more love and happiness in the lives of those you come in contact with today. Love really is simple and by sharing it, it creates more happiness and joy in those around you!

Forgiveness is YOUR Best Gift to Yourself!

This is so true. There are very few people out there who will apologize for hurting you, assuming something and being wrong, or just apologizing because they should and it's the right thing to do. The best thing you can do for yourself, to forgive them anyway. If you forgive them, you can move on. Forgiving them doesn't mean they were right or even that you accept what they did. It means that you are a bigger person and want to move on with your life. You aren't letting anyone else hold you back any longer. Forgive everyone and everything and you will feel much lighter and happier in your life.
Love, Clarissa

The Choice is YOURS

You have a choice each and every morning, so what are you going to do today? I always choose to chase my dreams. If you don't get up and chase them, they can't come true!

By chasing your dreams, you make every single day you spend here on this earth the next greatest day of your life. Keep living your life to the fullest and chasing those dreams. Never let your dreams die or for someone to tell you that you can't achieve something. All it takes is putting your mind to something and you will achieve it. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it. It will be worth all the blood, sweat, tears and time it takes to accomplish those dreams! Just NEVER, EVER give up!

Live your life to the fullest potential and just enjoy everything you have. Material things do not make our lives special. They may help us live a better life, but the material things don't make the world go round. It's the simple, immaterial things, like love, happiness, and joy that make the world go round. Live the life you want to live. Don't live by anyone else's standards, but your own. They aren't living your life, they don't have to deal with the choices you make on a regular basis. Make your choices for you and live the best life you can live. Show the world your happiness, joy and love and just enjoy your life!

Miracles Happen Everyday!

I know we all have a day or two or even three where we tend to stop believing. Things go wrong or not as expected. To put it bluntly, LIFE happens.

Trust me, I know! A few months ago, I was woken up at 2am because there was a fire in my apartment building. I thank GOD every day, that I was woken up naturally. No one woke me. Smoke detectors did not go off. My neighbors were doing drugs and drinking and smoking. One of them dropped a cigarette and there was a fire. The firefighters saved my entire apartment. I had a lot of smoke damage, but my big ticket items, like my brand new bed, computers, tv, were salvageable. It was a lot of cleaning and my mom and I really got sick of the cleaning stuff and ended up trashing some other stuff because the smell of smoke wouldn't come out. Then, 2 weeks after that, I lost my job. Now, losing this job wasn't all that bad because I hated this job. It was a job to pay the bills. I had been looking for a new job for over a year, with no luck. And now I am currently unemployed. But it gives me time to study for the CPA exam, complete my homework for my MSA program and work on this blog and research to help myself and YOU. I was struggling for a while to find that hope. But I know that miracles happen every day! Just me waking up on my own with that fire was a miracle.

Make this affirmation that you say everyday. Write it on post it notes and put them on the walls, mirrors, computers, etc. Miracles DO happen everyday. They may be small or they may be big. But the universe is working with you to make each day the way you want it to go. If you wake up in a bad mood and keep that bad mood, you will have a bad day. If you make it a good day from the start, you will have a good day.

LIFE is so GOOD. Believe it! Have faith! Trust in the UNIVERSE!

Let me know how things start changing for you when you start having faith every day! I will respond if you comment. Follow me on Pinterest

Creating a Vision Board

One of the first steps of putting the Law of Attraction to work for you is to create a vision board. This board will be EVERYTHING you have for yourself as a dream for the future. Make sure you DREAM BIG!!

You know all of those dreams that you have had since you were a child for yourself - that dream house, dream car, special vacations, wedding, dream job, material items you want but can't afford right now, money in the bank, debt free - put it ALL on your board. Find pictures online, in magazines, in circulars and cut them out. This board be on a cork board, poster board, or even just the wall. I put mine on the wall, because for the time being, I don't have either of the others and taping my pictures to the wall was an easy way to display them in a place where I will see them EVERYDAY! You want to make sure your board is in a place that you will see it every day - home, work, your choice - but make sure you will see it everyday.

There is a reason why kids have always had those "crazy" dreams. They haven't learned how society makes us act like none of that exists anymore and to stop believing, until we start doing research and find that it all still does exist. Our dreams are real and we can have them. We just have to believe again and get rid of all of the negative thinking.

There are so many books out there to help us with this. The first book suggestion I will make is: The Secret. I'm sure you've heard of this book before. It became a very popular book a few years ago. Many of the daytime television shows talked about this book and showed cases where the book had showed success. They also created a movie about this book with success stories as well. I've listened to this movie on Netflix several times, I've even reactivated my Netflix account just to watch this movie three or four times in a month, then cancelled it again.

I've had a vision board on my to do list for about 2 years now and I just never got around to actually doing it. But that is changing TODAY. I've started my pictures and I'm just waiting for my printer ink to get here on Saturday to print out these pictures that I've found. I had a poster board, but never had the pictures to put it together. Well, I'm not waiting any longer to make this vision board and start manifesting my future. As soon as my ink gets here on Saturday, I'm going to start printing pictures and cutting them out. Then, I'm taping them to my wall in the form of a vision board to get this started and in my daily thoughts everyday in printed form and not just in my head. Having the thoughts in your head is still a good thing, but seeing it in print, whether it's written or pictures, really helps you keep the positive and SEE what you really want. It also puts it out to the universe what you really want as well.

Let's create your vision board!

Step One: DREAM! Really dream big! Go back to the days when you were a child and reincarnate those dreams that you wanted then. You know all those vacations you wanted to go on and never could because of other circumstances. That dream house you've always wanted, but never thought you could afford? You want a family someday, put a picture of a happy family on your vision board, with the type of family you want and how many children you want. You know all those dreams that you have for yourself, even if you haven't told them to anyone. Don't focus on making these dream realistic! The Law of Attraction works around realistic!

Step Two: VISUALIZE. It's time to sit down with your dream pictures. With each picture, create a movie in your mind about that dream coming true. Picture yourself 5 years in the future with each dream manifested. Show yourself a personal movie of how it came true! These visions should make you happy! If they don't then there is something in your dreams that you may need to change.

Step Three: CREATE! Just dreaming and visualizing is not enough to manifest your vision board dreams. You must create the actual board. As you put each picture on your vision board, play that movie of your visualization again.

Step Four: BELIEVE! Now you just have to believe. Even everything that is unrealistic will happen. You have put this out for the universe to see and it is very clear what you want since you have put the exact pictures of your dreams up for the universe and YOU to see each day. Take 10-15 minutes each morning (or evening, whatever works best for you) and visualize your life movie happening again. Make sure you keep all thoughts positive about your vision board. If you start to think that I can't have that. I'm not good enough for that. Then sure enough, the universe will put off that dream for you. Never think those thoughts about anything on your vision board. (You actually should stop thinking those thoughts completely if you really want the Law of Attraction to work for you.)

Make sure you DREAM BIG! Your life is exactly that which you make it. It can be really simple and amazing, or you can make it more difficult than it should be.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving Day here in America! It is a day to celebrate family and be extra grateful for all that you have! You should be grateful for each day and what it brings you every day. The more gratitude you show each day, the more the Law of Attraction works for you!

I am grateful to be here today and be able to share a new day with my family. I am also grateful to be able to share this journey with you and help you on your journey.

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. ~Chief Tecumseh
