Feel-Good Messages

MY GOAL ACHIEVING PROCESS.

I’m here. I want to be “here”. Let the FUN begin.

Deciding to do it the fun way works every time! It might not come the way I think it will come, but I get to have REAL fun along the way and that’s what matters most.

Power in a relationship doesn’t come from the ability to control my partners behaviour!

Real empowerment comes from knowing I can direct my focus and find a multitude of things that DO please me, that draw more of a positive response, that make me happy about who I’m being, that feel like heaven and that make me shine, despite how my partner might be behaving at the time. ~ ER

I took my own advice recently and now I’m having more fun (working) than ever before. What simple change did I make? “I stopped battling with my problems, and I’m making peace with them instead.” ~ ER

You can’t go wrong. You can only lead yourself to greater clarity. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

I never do work that doesn’t thrill me, I wait to throw myself into something that inspires me beyond measure.

I never date anyone just to pass the time, I wait for someone who makes each moment seem even more precious.

I never buy something because it’s cheap, I wait until I see things that I adore no matter what they cost.

I never worry I won’t get the things I want, I know that absolutely anything is possible and the incredible fun I have along the way, doesn’t feel like waiting at all. ~ ER

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE WANTED SOMETHING SO MUCH … that there was no room for doubt, no space for disappointment, no opportunity to lose hope, no need to talk about the past, no chance to go back … just a burning desire to allow myself to experience all the ins and outs associated with living, learning, laughing and loving in the grandest possible way. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

When something upsets me, I have two basic choices:

1. To hate what’s happening and make myself feel imprisoned by the circumstances,

OR

2. To find benefit in what’s happening and set myself free.

What are you choosing? ~ ER

Too often we get bogged down in the “who did what to who” story … KEEP GOING FOR THE DREAM!

It isn’t the other person we need to let go of, it isn’t the “attachment” we need to let go of, it isn’t the situation we need to let go of … we just need to keep holding on to our DREAM.

Letting go assumes that someone can hold us back. Just keep going for the dream. Keep going for the dream. Keep going for the dream. They’ll either come along for the ride or someone else will jump on board.

Go for your DREAM and lead the way, back into the light! ~ ER

There’s always something to be happy about, just the way things are, just the way you are and just the way I am RIGHT NOW! ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS WHAT I’M GIVING MY ATTENTION TO RIGHT NOW

I’m not a failure, I’m just learning more.
Nothing is wrong, in fact everything is going perfectly right.
I don’t need to hold onto the thoughts that cause more pain, I can relax and allow feelings that bring relief.
This situation doesn’t need to cause me despair, I can activate the aspects that have positive benefits.
That conversation need not bother me, I can remember having discussions that thrilled me beyond description.
The person who did something that was disrespectful or hurtful, isn’t doing that because of who I am, they’re just expressing where they’re currently at.
It’s not necessary to be critical of who I was being yesterday, I can pay more attention to what I already do well now.
I don’t have to focus on the worst, I can keep reaching for something a little bit better.
I’m not always disconnected, quite often I feel the fullness of “all that is”. ~ ER

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON … but not because God caused it, not because of karma, not because it was destined, not because it was written in the stars, not because the planets were aligned in a certain way and not even because we have a lesson to learn … Have you noticed that we get more of what we complain about, we get what we are afraid of, we get what the most powerful influence in our peer group dictates, we get what we allow, we get what we believe we are worth, we get what we expect, we get what we focus our attention upon, we get what we truly love and appreciate, we get more of what we keep talking about … we get what we are a vibrational match to!

THE GOOD NEWS IS … it doesn’t matter what other people around us are thinking, doing or attracting into their life, it only takes ONE person who is vibrant, loving, happy, energetic, accepting and deeply connected to their own inner guidance to change the attraction point of an entire family, a community or even millions of people (just as Martin Luther King Jnr, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama have done) … and the person who can make the most profound impact of all right now, is YOU! ~ ER

I’VE STOPPED ANALYSING PROBLEMS – completely!

The only thing that ever needs to change, is what I’m giving my attention to. ~ ER

My 9 MOST VALUABLE INSIGHTS AFTER BEING FIRED.

1. The person who hired (or engaged) you is not necessarily the person you need to impress, no matter what their status is in the company.

2. When someone seems to take an instant dislike to you, the more you try to get them to like you (or to find out why they don’t like you), the deeper the hole you dig for yourself.

3. Getting fired, terminated, dismissed, laid off, retrenched, discharged or whatever verb you’d like to include on this list, may have nothing to do with the quality of your work or how valuable an asset you can be to a business. Don’t take it personally. Nothing is worth a heavy heart.

4. Stay true to you, and if you gave up a part of yourself in order to satisfy what someone else wanted, just claim that part back now. Who you really are is always standing right by your side no matter how far away you think you’ve gotten.

5. Spend as little time as possible thinking about what you might have done differently. Sometimes (probably mostly) there is nothing for you to change – except, what you decide to focus your attention on right now.

6. No matter what it might look like on the surface, something even better will bubble up from beneath the disappointment, loss or sadness. All you need do next is to stay open to possibilities, to trust your instincts and keep moving forward.

7. Concentrate on what you enjoyed the most about the job, or the people, or the environment, or the potential you saw way back in the beginning – talk about it, write it down, think about it ‘til the cows come home. Let THAT be the energy that draws the next exciting adventure towards you, effortlessly, beneficially and nourishingly.

8. Affirm who you know you really are when you’re feeling your best. “I am brilliant, I am wise, I am creative, I am innovative, I am a leader, I am incredibly good at what I do, I am a winner, I am guided, I am loved, I am free, I am clear about what’s right for me …

9. Imagine that this is a wonderfully, valuable experience, and remember, in the words of Abraham Hicks, “The entire Universe is knocking itself out, to give you everything you want!” Let that be your mantra!

It doesn’t matter what I do, or if I do nothing at all, I just can’t stop the flow of wonderful things coming to me. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

EVERY STRONG NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE … helps me define more clearly, the even stronger positive experience I want to create instead.

AND WHEN I’M READY, I BLESS PAST EXPERIENCES AND SAY … THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME WHERE I WAS OFF TRACK … thank you for providing a solid example of what I no longer want in my life and thank you for helping me move powerfully forward, towards the improved quality of life that I’ve been wanting all along. ~ ER

I don’t speak badly about others, not because I’m trying to be a goody goody, but because it stuffs up my own energy, every time I do. ~ ER

CONFESSION #1027 – Book 3

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

I give myself permission to FOLLOW MY DREAMS, to find peace, to get relief, to feel liberated, to live in comfort, to work with passion, to have everything I truly want, to love with all my heart … without questioning if it will sustain me, make money for me or provide income into the future.

When I follow my dreams without doubt, question or fear, a way is provided and the path is made clear. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

I don’t let my mood take control of me. I choose to love, to open, to trust, to sense the ease of letting go, to feel the peace in the purity of my heart, to breathe with depth, to allow spirit to move through me, to give rise to my inner desires, to live with gay abandon, forever putting my faith in a benevolent universe to continually show me whether I’m activating my deepest fears or my grandest dreams. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

It’s the perfect time, I’m in the best place, I’ve experienced enough contrast, I know how to make it fun and I’ve created the ideal conditions, to move boldly towards my dreams. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

I KNEW SOMETHING FABULOUS WOULD HAPPEN … not because I have premonitions, but because one day I simply decided it would, and held on to my knowing so quietly and faithfully, that it had to come true. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

IT’S SUSTAINABLE …
if it’s interesting
if it’s fun
if it provides something useful
if it warms your heart
if it’s exciting
if it’s light-hearted
if it moves you
if it causes expansion
if it brings you into alignment
if it’s exhilarating
if it calls you into throes of ecstasy.

IT’S COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE …
if you are doing it because it’s time to get serious
if you are doing it because someone else thinks it’s a good idea
if you are doing it because you need to feel significant or worthy
if you are doing it because you’ve found fault with yourself
if you are doing it because you’re trying to impress another

Do it because it makes you feel good, not because you think you should. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

I AM WHERE I AM, and it’s the perfect place to start.
I HAVE what I have, and it’s more than enough.
I AM CREATING what I’m creating by what I think, say and do.
I AM GOING where I’m going and a thousand angels are with me too.

An excerpt from 500 Confessions that always bring me back into closer alignment with MY Source. Sometimes just taking the time to remember the way the words rhyme is enough to slow down any negative energy and start me in an upward direction once again. Simple Mantras like these are priceless. ~ Elizabeth xox

I’m OK when something doesn’t turn out. It always means that something better is on its way instead.

Such a comforting thought isn’t it! ~ ER

Instead of openly declaring a right or wrong way of doing things, you can live life quietly as a demonstration of what you know intrinsically, is simply best for YOU. ~ ER

Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS

I’ve been observing the natural progression that women go through as our lives transform through various stages. I love how wisdom shines in our eyes, experience shows on our faces and grace is reflected through our movement as we grow … yet that glistening girlish playfulness forever remains in our smiles. I particularly adore taking photos of women who’ve really lived life to the fullest. The privilege of capturing the essence of their character is priceless.

WHEN A WOMAN REALLY GROWS UP … she softens into more of her natural self. ~ ER

Here is a list of character traits women tend to develop as they transform.

• SHE’S SELF ASSURED … Instead of demanding to get what she wants, she chooses to remain quietly confident that it will surely come, one way or another.
• SHE LEADS WITH HER HEART … Instead of expecting her mate to always step up and lead, she remembers how amazing he really is at his core and playfully reminds him occasionally, of who she knows him to be.
• SHE SHOWS THE WAY … Instead of openly declaring a right or wrong way of doing things, she lives life quietly as a demonstration of what she knows intrinsically, is simply best for her.
• SHE FINDS HER OWN BALANCE … Instead of complicating conversations with emotional outbursts, she simplifies her communications with a powerfully wise silence, until clarity naturally prevails.
• SHE ATTRACTS WHAT SHE DESIRES … Instead of having a list of criteria a man must live up to, she cultivates her own unique qualities and then attracts the behaviour she innately appreciates the most.
• SHE SHINES FROM THE INSIDE OUT … Instead of forever trying to perfect her outer appearance, she concentrates most on brightening her own inner glow, drawing forth a much more intoxicating essence anyway.
• SHE MAINTAINS HER DIGNITY … Instead of sacrificing her soul and having sex before she’s completely ready, she holds true to her desire for a whole relationship (with a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual connection) and doesn’t beat up on herself if a man finds the need to leave because he isn’t yet able to match her energy.
• SHE USES HER WISDOM … Instead of being quick to judge, she takes as much time as she needs to get back into her “happy place” until she sees things in a whole different light.
• SHE’S FLEXIBLE … Instead of keeping to strict guidelines, procedures and rules, she allows herself to go with the flow, she trusts her guidance to show the way and has faith in her ability to thrive even more as she lives fully in each moment.
• SHE SEES BEAUTY IN HERSELF AND OTHERS … Instead of being critical of her imperfections (and consequently finding fault in others), she practices accentuating what’s uniquely beautiful and special and rare.
• SHE LOVES WHO SHE IS … Instead of competing against other women by striving to display a particular body shape, a certain relationship status or a level of lifestyle, one day she wakes up and simply decides, she’s actually good enough and has always been good enough, just as she is.
• SHE BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS … Instead of rejecting others because of their inability to please her, she focuses on the aspects she likes most of all and draws out more of those instead.
• SHE’S INFLUENTIAL … Instead of just seeking out those who are like-minded, she’s practiced her own positive vibe enough to be able to uplift the energy of almost anyone she meets.
• SHE FINDS BENEFIT IN EVERYTHING … Instead of needing to “change the world”, change her mate or change a condition, she finds pleasure in discovering the benefit that diversity brings, to every situation.
• SHE TAKES CARE OF HERSELF … Instead of getting resentful when she’s given more than enough, she uses it as an indication to take time-out to nurture her own physical, mental and emotional needs first.
• SHE LIVES WITH GRACE … Instead of blaming her fluctuating mood on hormonal imbalance, she makes her spiritual connection a priority and easily settles back into a state of calmness, grace and peace.
• SHE’S MAGNETIC … Instead of just looking to a partner to make her happy, she decides to find happiness where ever she is and easily draws others into the joy, the ease and the fun of it all.
• SHE’S ATTRACTIVE … Instead of trying to prove to others that she deserves the best, she settles readily back into her body and prepares to vibrationally attract something way, way, way better.
• SHE KNOWS HER OWN VALUE … Instead of waiting for a man to be strong and sure, she relaxes deep into her soft feminine nature which makes so many men clamor to serve, to innately rise up, to adore and to treasure her above any other.
• SHE’S CONNECTED TO SPIRIT … Instead of trying to get others to approve, to agree with and to validate her opinions, she finds worthiness in a regular connection with her own divine being.
• SHE LIGHTS UP THE WORLD … Instead of needing things to be different, she adapts to enliven her environment and gives birth to brilliant methods, playful pursuits and creative expressions that shine a light for all the world to see.

When a woman really grows up, transforming from an impetuous princess into a stately queen, she comes more into the fullness of her heartfelt feminine energy and accepts ALL aspects of her-self, the partners she’s had and the experiences she’s been through as a necessary, welcome and blessed part of the amazing creature she’s now becoming … and becoming and becoming … accepting that evolution is what makes the universe eternal and knowing that death and rebirth, are the most natural parts of life. ~ ER
