Helping others

OUR SMILE

Posted on by Lunar Princess

The world does not need tourists who ride by in a bus clucking their tongues.  The world as it is needs those who will love it enough to change it, with what they have, where they are.       ~ Robert Fulghum

Sometimes, what people need is simply someone who will listen to them with kindness and without judgement. This will show a person that you care and you are trying to help them figure out the cause of the problem. Helping can be just about anything a long as it is done in sincerity. Even a simple smile or compliment could lift someone’s spirit.

Volunteering is a way to help out others in your community. Helping out is a great way to make new friends, too. Tutoring homeless children at local shelters can help them stay current in school and is greatly appreciated. Not only will this help others, but you will get a new perspective on your own life. Before long, helping others will be second nature to you.

“One smile has the power to…  Calm fears.  Soften stone walls.  Warm a cold heart.  Invite a new friend.  Mimic a loving hug.  Beautify the bearer.  Lighten heavy loads.  Promote good deeds.  Brighten a gloomy day.  Comfort a grieving spirit.  Offer hope to the forlorn.  Send a message of caring.  Lift the downtrodden soul.  Patch up invisible wounds.  Weaken the hold of misery.  Act as medicine for suffering.  Attract the companionship of angels.  Fulfill the human need for recognition.  Who knew changing the world would prove so simple?”

Our smile and a helping hand can do so much.

Prayer

PRAYER – THE PATH OF INNER PEACE

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Sweet Spirit:  In every moment of each experience, I have the ability to choose love or fear.  With Your help, I choose the path of peace.  I have no idea what this coming week holds or even what today has in store.  However, I do know that You are with me as my strength and guide.  I choose peace and joy.  I choose to be whole.  I am willing to be a presence for love.  I am willing to look at life differently.  Please show me how.  Thank You.  Amen.

Whenever I’m stressed, anxious, or afraid, help me remember to run to you. You’re the only one that can calm my fears and end my fretful behavior. Whether in trivial or heavy matters, I know you will not only give me peace; Lord, you will be my peace. And when I draw close to you—in prayer, in reading your Word, in helping another, in taking my mind off myself—you will be there, up close and personal.

I can’t handle these times alone, Lord. Will you speak peace and calm my storms, or hold my hand while we walk through them together? Will you bring the reassuring wisdom of those who have come through similar times into my life? Thank you, Lord. I’m trusting you.

In the name of the One who makes the wind and the waves stand still, Amen.

Metaphysical

UNDERSTANDING THE METAPHYSICAL SELF

Posted on by Lunar Princess

To understand the Metaphysical, one must develop both the prophet and the scientist within each one of us.  It is necessary to merge the soul’s vision and practical action.  This can be done by clearing the mind through daily meditation and positive affirmations.  Meditation is good for the body, mind and spirit.

Many philosophers have puzzled over questions such as whether a thought has weight or what the size of the mind is. One simple way to answer to these questions is to suppose that the mind is somehow radically distinct from the body: that there is a dichotomy between the two. According to Aristotle, every animate being is a living thing which can move itself only because it has a soul. Animals and plants, along with human beings, are more like each other than any of them are like any inanimate object, since each of them has a soul.

Even the imagination, according to Aristotle, involves the operation of the common sense without stimulation by the sensory organs of the body. Hence, although all knowledge must begin with information acquired through the senses, its results are achieved by rational means.

There is much to contemplate on this subject. We at www.secretserendipity.com are going to try meditation and see if it becomes clear.

Mother Teresa

MOTHER TERESA ON PEACE

Posted on by Lunar Princess

“Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”

“God doesn’t require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.”

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

“Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.  Peace begins with a smile.”

“I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I don’t know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will NOT ask, How many good things have you done in your life?, rather he will ask, How much LOVE did you put into what you did?        ~  All from Mother Teresa

MEDITATION IS A STATE OF DEEP PEACE (Video)

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.   ~ Swami Sivananda

Start out by allowing yourself to simply be and to look within yourself with mindfulness and peace.  Meditation will allow your body to become still.

Let meditation help you become more peaceful, focused, and more appreciative to everything in your life.  There are many reasons for wanting to meditate. Getting to know oneself better and to find calm and a sense of grounding are just two of them.  At its core, meditation is just about relaxing and refusing to be caught up in everyday anxieties.    Meditation sharpens skills like attention, memory, and emotional intelligence, but most of all, it helps one understand the mysteries of the mind.

Meditation helpful tips:

Count backwards from 100, restarting every time you lose track. Don’t attach to forgetting your place; simply start over and keep counting down. Remember, there is no right or wrong — it’s all mediating!

Develop a personal mantra such as, “I am grateful for …” As the Buddha said, “Better than a thousand hollow words, is the word that brings peace.” Silently repeat your mantra and allow your mind to clear as you focus on a single phrase.  You may also try repeating these helpful phrases:

May I be happy

May I be healthy

May I ride the waves of my life

May I live in peace

No matter what I am given.

Bring your awareness back to your body when you are finished. Allow this calmness and this centeredness to remain with you when you are done.

CRYSTALS AND GEMSTONES FOR HEALING

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Many believe that crystals and gemstones have spiritual and healing properties.  There is no scientific evidence that proves that it heals, but people say they’ve been healed and feel better.  Crystals and gemstones are said to have vibration frequencies, connecting the earth and an individual’s energy field.  This New Age interconnection is said to realign human psychic by directing this vibrating energy.

Crystals can be worn or placed in a location where their healing vibrations can be felt.  Crystal stones have their own color, shape, and texture, which have unique special meanings.  Choosing an energizing stone is a great way to help you get through the tough times.  You can intuitively choose which crystals to use by noticing which stones you are attracted to.  Keep your heart and hands open to allow the appropriate healing crystals to find you!

Life Will Become Exciting

Posted on by Lunar Princess

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go. ~ Dr. Seuss ~

As you follow your dreams, life will become exciting. You will start smiling often. At some point your dreams will mean so much to you that you will stop at nothing. When we pursue a dream, we are connecting with our heart’s desires. It’s a way of telling our soul “I love you.”

Live life the way it was meant to be lived.  We can’t be stagnant.  It’s time to get out of our comfort zone and move forward with our dreams. Everything is ours for the taking. In order for us to really take advantage of all we are capable of and all that life has to offer, we have to take some chances. We have to take some risks.  But the time is now… Go For It!

Soul

THE MEANING OF SOUL

Posted on by Lunar Princess

How could the soul not take flight when from the glorious Presence a soft call flows sweet as honey, comes right up to her and whispers, “Rise up now, come away.”    ~ Rumi  ~

Man is made up of physical material, the body, that can be seen and touched. But he is also made up of immaterial aspects, which are intangible — this includes the soul, spirit, intellect, will, emotions, conscience, and so forth. These immaterial characteristics exist beyond the physical lifespan of the human body and are therefore eternal.

These immaterial aspects — the spirit, soul, heart, conscience, mind and emotions — make up the whole personality. The Bible makes it clear that the soul and spirit are the primary immaterial aspects of humanity, while the body is the physical container that holds them on this earth.

In Luke 1:46-47 Mary said that her soul magnified the Lord.    “First, Mary’s spirit exulted in God; then her soul magnified the Lord. Her praise to God issued from her spirit and was expressed through her soul. Her spirit was filled with joy in God her Savior, and her soul manifested that joy for the magnifying of the Lord. She lived and acted in her spirit, which directed her soul.”

FOCUS ON WHAT’S RIGHT

Posted on by Lunar Princess

We can always choose to perceive things differently.  We can focus on what’s wrong in our life, or we can focus on what’s right.   ~ Marianne Williamson    ~

Things are not always what they seem and people, everyday, try to make you see things the way they want you to see them. You can meet someone and they can tell you everything you want to hear and there can be no truth to it, but you believe it to be so.   The way we perceive reality is colored by how we want it rather than simply the way it is.  Try to be conscious of your perception, because if you’re not, someone else will create it for you.

Tell yourself that for just one week you will be very excited, very happy and very ecstatic for everything good you have in your life. A good meal, nice clothes, a job, friends, a car, television, air conditioning, the people who are a support system to you… the list goes on. See how difficult it is to be grateful repeatedly. Observe how it’s so easy to criticize routinely, but so difficult to appreciate with equal frequency. If you change that pattern, you change your life… question now is, do you want to?

Our Life's Path

THE JOURNEY

Posted on by Lunar Princess

If love fails, set yourself free, let your heart spread its wings and fly again.  Remember you may find love and lose it, but when love dies, you never have to die with it.  The strongest people are not those who always win, but those who stand back up when they fail.

Somehow along the course of life, you learn about yourself and realize there should never be regrets, only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you’ve made.  Life is the journey, do the best you can and don’t dwell on what has happened in the past but appreciate the experiences you have had, for that is what life is all about.

We at www.secretserendipity.com believe we can only live in the present, and while doing that, we will enjoy the journey.

Tree

THE SPIRITUAL POWER OF TREES (Audio)

Posted on by Lunar Princess

The strength of a tree grows with time, shaped by winds, rain and it’s natural surroundings. Branches grow left, right and above as roots stabilize and feed from below in the earth. They grow and reach new heights as they adapt to the environment, and renew themselves over time. The tree can be a part of a large forest or it may stand alone. Lean against a sprawling, fully-grown oak, maple, or any of the many stately trees in your area, and feel its peace envelope your body.

In Greek mythology, the oak tree was a symbol of Zeus, the God of Thunder. The commanding power of these trees symbolize physical strength and morale. The vitality of trees can affect our mental, emotional and spiritual energy. Both beautiful and symbolic, trees are formidable and can influence our spiritual lives. Take a moment to experience the spirituality of the tree. Take the time to appreciate the spiritual strength of trees and their part in soothing the human spirit.

The roots, trunk and branches of the tree represent the underworld, earth and heavens. Feel the joy and excitement of sitting under a beautiful tree on a glorious spring day and say a prayer or send positive intentions for the health of both the tree and yourself. Everyone loves trees, how could they not.

“For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfill themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured. And every young farm boy knows that the hardest and noblest wood has the narrowest rings, that high on the mountains and in continuing danger the most indestructible, the strongest, the ideal trees grow.” ~ Hermann Hesse, Wandering ~

We at www.secretserendipity.com love trees and all the beautiful, living things in nature.

 

Angels

SIGNS FROM GOD SHOW US THE WAY

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Monthly Horoscopes – –

Daily Astrology – –

The Universe tries to offer guiding signals that we often miss or neglect if we’re not tuned in.   When the Universe responds, it will not always be obvious. You have to keep your eyes peeled for little signs here and there that guide you to where you want to be.

Angels are among us. Their very name means “messenger” and we can be assured that when they are here, they have come for a certain purpose.  Angels are always memorable because they never forget what really matters.  Angels have many duties to carry out. They protect, guide, encourage, and assist people. They are God’s secret agents, not seeking to draw attention to themselves, but to do God’s bidding. When we connect with an Angel, we will find that every situation becomes a magical one, with a constant flow of joy and healing energy all around us. Then we will find that we, too, act as angels in human form, here to assist God’s will, so that heaven can be manifested here on Earth.

Pay attention to your feelings.  Your body is a miracle in itself.  It is a compass that steers you toward that which is aligned with your soul and guides you against that which is out of alignment.

When you are given the things you asked for, be thankful for them and show your gratitude in your actions. And don’t forget to give thanks for everything else you have, whether you asked for it or not.

“Rarely do we realize that we are in the midst of the extraordinary. Miracles occur all around us, signs from God show us the way, angels plead to be heard, but we pay little attention to them because we have been taught that we must follow certain formulas and rules if we want to find God. We do not realize that God is wherever we allow Him/Her to enter.”

“Fortunate are those who take the first step. Someday people will realize that men and women are capable of speaking the language of the angels – that all of us are possessed of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that we can perform miracles, cure, prophesy, and understand.” ~ Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra ~ I Sat Down and Wept ~

Never underestimate a familiar scent. Familiar smells evoke forgotten feelings or may be a medium used to help retrieve an emotion to help with decision-making. These scents can often link us to the answer we’re searching for. And, usually, it’s a reminder of someone, or of an emotion it evokes. Perhaps it’s the scent of the perfume your grandmother used to wear, seemingly out of the blue, in a place that is unlikely to carry that scent. Or the smell of a flower that takes you back to a certain memory, one that needs to be remembered and considered, and possibly pertaining to your question you’d made to the Universe.

The most important thing to remember is to listen to your gut feelings and what resonates with you. Sometimes you just feel that instant ‘yes’ or instant ‘no’ from your gut feeling. It may defy logic, it may not make any sense whatsoever but you know that the Universe (or God) has given you the intuitive discernment to just know what a certain course of action to take is.

I’VE LEARNED — ABOUT GIVING AND RECEIVING

Posted on by Lunar Princess

I’ve Learned:  That you should never say no to a gift from a child.  Giving is a natural and a spiritual process. Receiving plays a major part in that process because the giving is not complete until the gift is accepted. Never refuse to accept a gift from a child.  Giving is the gateway to receiving.  Accept the gift so the giver will be blessed.   It is never about the value of the gift.  Instead, it is the principle of giving that blesses the person.

The receiver of the gift needs to accept the gift to help the giver be blessed.  When a child gives you a gift, no matter how small the gift is, do not refuse it.  It is always better to give than to receive because what the giver gives is multiplied back many times.  Children learn from giving.

GINGER – For Good Health

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Ginger has been used as a natural remedy for many ailments for centuries.  Now, science is catching up and researchers around the world are finding that ginger works wonders in the treatment of everything from cancer to migraines.  A study conducted at the University of Michigan found that ginger powder induces cell death in all ovarian cancer cells to which it was applied. Of the 115 different chemical components found in ginger root, the therapeutic benefits come from gingerols, the oily resin from the root that acts as a highly potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Dr. Oz says, “By opening up the lymphatic channels and keeping things clean, ginger prevents the accumulation of the toxins that make you susceptible to infections, especially in the respiratory system.”

Ginger is thought to slow the growth of colorectal cancer cells, and just as effective as vitamin B6 in the treatment of morning sickness.  Ginger has been shown to be an effective remedy for the nausea associated with motion sickness, an anti-inflammatory, and as a natural painkiller.  A study done on diabetic rats found that those rats given ginger had a reduced incidence of diabetic neuropathy.  Ginger has long been used as a natural treatment for colds and the flu.

There are so many good reasons to include ginger in your diet.  We at www.secretserendipity.com enjoy ginger as a tea.

Be Happy

RESOLUTIONS FOR A NEW YEAR

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Monthly Horoscopes —

Daily Astrology —

January 1st is the first day of the rest of your life. It is a symbolic day for renewed optimism for a better life and a better you. Let everything from the past go, clear your plate as it is time for a fresh start. If this last year was not one of your best, try to be positive, hold your head up high and make all attempts to get back on track. See failures as opportunities to improve yourself and become stronger. Things do go wrong, starting over is a standard reality for many of us. Think of this coming year as if it will be the best year of your life.

It’s time to enjoy life. We only get one chance at a good, happy life. Life is not about the accomplishments, it’s about the journey, and the relationships that we make along the way. Experiences make us happier than things, especially when they include great friends. People with a wide circle of friends usually live longer. Make the effort to be a better friend. Good friends are there for each other even when times are tough. Make sure the people you hang around with are positive and interesting people who will inspire you to live a richer life in the new year.

Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. ~ Buddha

True happiness is a state of mind. We decide whether or not it becomes a part of our life. Gratitude is our shortcut to happiness. Start each new day with a smile. Smile freely throughout your day. People who smile make those around them feel good about themselves. When you smile, the world smiles with you.

When weather permits, take time out to walk in nature, even if only for a couple of minutes. Walking outside is great for your well-being. Fresh air will put the brain into a state of meditation. Taking time for walking outdoors makes people 50% happier than working out in a gym. Walking is a very powerful stress buster.

January is the perfect time to evaluate your life and see where improvements can be made. Work out what makes you happy as life is what you make of it. If you start looking for the good around you, instead of focusing on the bad, you will be much happier. One of the things that gets in the way of enjoying life is thinking too much about the past and then worrying too much about the future. The more you stay in the moment, the more enjoyable the moments become.

True Happiness is the secret to Enjoying Life!

We at www.secretserendipity.com believe that happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does. Take time to enjoy the happiness that comes your way. The grass is always greener where you water it.

Man Waiting

WAITING

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite.  Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance.  Everyone is just waiting.  ~ Dr. Seuss

Can you really do anything about waiting in lines? Not really, but the New York Times offers one final bit of advice for dealing with them: The dominant cost of waiting is an emotional one: stress, boredom, that nagging sensation that one’s life is slipping away. The last thing we want to do with our dwindling leisure time is squander it in stasis. We’ll never eliminate lines altogether, but a better understanding of the psychology of waiting can help make those inevitable delays that inject themselves into our daily lives a touch more bearable. And when all else fails, bring a book.

And in the end, it is not the years in your life that count.  It’s the life in your years.  ~ Abraham Lincoln

It seems like we spend so much of our life just waiting.  Let us make the best use of the time we have, and live in the today.  Follow us at www.secretserendipity.com as we travel in the now.

15 REASONS TO BE THANKFUL ON THANKSGIVING

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Thanksgiving is all about family and friends, coming together, celebrating the grateful feelings that we have in our hearts and all the blessings we have received throughout the year. It is special for everyone. You don’t have to believe in any particular religious creed to express gratitude for all the good in your life. Thanksgiving is also the holiday dedicated to eating food.

The turkey is the main attraction, usually accompanied by stuffing, cranberry sauce, a green bean casserole, creamy mashed potatoes and gravy, a fancy Jello salad, and is usually followed by a slice of pumpkin pie.

Thanksgiving is the day for giving thanks. Here is a list of our top 15 reasons for which we are thankful.

1) Freedom Despite frustration with politics. I’m thankful to be living in the U.S. I’m very thankful for the men and women — and their families — serving in our military.

2) Friends and family. I’m thankful for new relationships and connections this past year — both online and right here at home. Of course, I love my long-time friendships as well.

3) Healthy Children. Children from families who eat together on a regular basis are more likely to have family support, positive peer influences, and positive role models. The world of tomorrow will inherit the children of today.

4) Nature. I’m thankful for the beautiful world around me — for the changing seasons, the brilliant colors, the promise of coming spring.

5) Finding money in your pocket. Money that hasn’t been budgeted for, remembered, or owed. It is disposable income in the truest sense of the phrase.

6) A pet. Having a pet helps you stay connected to life. They are great companions and the perfect best friend. They are always around when you need them and provide constant and loving companionship. They ask for very little in return, they just want to be where you are.

7) Your health, even on days when it isn’t perfect. Being healthy means that your body is functioning as it should, without pain or discomfort. When we are in good health, we can enjoy all the good things in life, in moderation, without guilt or shame.

8) Your support system. It can be people at work, at home or spread out all over the country. Knowing there are people who are there for you can make all the difference. They are people who will lift you up and give you whatever you need with only a moment’s notice.

9) The healing power of music. Music has the power to heal and to join people together in peace. The spirit of music is within us all. Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

10) Laughter. It makes us happy and healthy. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded. Nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a shared laugh.

11) Desserts. To live without them is to live in a colorless world. Eating desserts means that you have a good sense of what you want. We feel like we are feeding our soul with food that makes us feel like we’ve finally found Heaven. Desserts make life more enjoyable.

12) Police Officers, Firefighters, and all First Responders. These brave men and women risk their lives daily to save the lives of others. They work long and crazy hours around the clock, and rush to scenes helping complete strangers without thinking twice. They put themselves on the front line of dangerous and traumatic events every day.

13) Love. Love is accepting difference. It is letting each one be who they are without fear of censure. Love is an unselfish, loyal concern for the good of another. It is a wonderful feeling.

14) Good food and Clean Water. Good food gives us the energy we need to survive. Fresh water is one of our most vital resources. The quality of our water is directly linked to the quality of our lives. Without good food and clean water, the body cannot grow or perform at its best, our organs stop working, and the body eventually dies. We are blessed to have the best of both.

15) Money. Money is great because it means that life is not a constant effort at keeping our heads above water. When we have money, we are able to live life to the fullest, enjoy adventures, and make the most out of life.

We at www.secretserendipity.com are grateful to people who make us happy. Happy Thanksgiving, My Friends.

Hug

THE POWER OF A TOUCH

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.  ~ Leo Buscaglia ~

“Touch is without a doubt one of the most, if not the most powerful means of communication we have available to us as human beings” says James Smith, counselor at Willow Tree Christian Counseling in Northern Ireland. “We may speak, express ourselves through words, tone and the volume of our voice, or body language, however nothing comes close to touch.”

A touch doesn’t only have to mean being touched. Giving touch in healthy ways, from a hug to a handshake to a pat on the back, benefits you—and the person on the receiving end. And you don’t have to be in a relationship to do it. Even a quick touch like a high-five (for those friends who hate to hug) can be beneficial. Touch doesn’t have to be person to person. Use your down time to groom or pet your dog or let your cat nap in your lap as you make phone calls.

WHAT IS SERENDIPITY?

Posted on by Lunar Princess

Serendipity is a spiritual belief.  A situation is considered serendipitous when you find something unexpected and beneficial, even though you were looking for something else.  It is those wrong turns in your life that in hindsight, you realize how fortunate you were to have made them.  We usually don’t realize that an event is serendipitous until years later.

Trust the Universe.  Know that things happen the way they are supposed to happen.  Expect your unexpected good will happen.  The Universe wants us to be successful and sends us messages everyday to help guide us in our journey.  Many of these messages are serendipitous.  Be open to receive them, trust your angels, smile, and things will go your way.

Follow us at www.secretserendipity.com for we believe that serendipitous events are unlimited!

DON’T QUIT

Posted on by Lunar Princess

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, when funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh.  When care is pressing you down a bit, REST, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns, as every one of us sometimes learns.  And many a failure turns about, when he might have won had he stuck it out.  Don’t give up though the pace seems slow.  You may succeed with another blow.  Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint of the clouds of doubt.   And you never can tell how close you are,  It may be near when it seems so far.  So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit.  It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.  ~~ Author Unknown ~

A HEALTHY LIFE

Posted on by Lunar Princess

If we want to be productive and healthy, we must take care of our minds, bodies and spirits.  It is important to have balance in our lives.  We must choose to be productive, for being productive is healthy, and doing good, meaningful work that fits our talents can keep us alive and healthy for a lifetime.

Doing what you love to do, and doing it well, and helping other people learn, succeed and do what they love to do brings benefits back to you.  It doesn’t matter what it is you do so long as it is not destructive to others, and you feel good about what you are doing, and making your contribution.

We are all in it together.  It doesn’t matter how small or large of a part we play, as long as we are doing something.  Don’t look around at others to do your part.  Do your fair share, help others do theirs, and enjoy the rewards of a healthy, productive, long life.

SELF-CONFIDENCE

Posted on by Lunar Princess

We all strive to be self-sufficient.  Human nature tells us that we always want to figure everything out for ourselves.  That is a great way to be, it is the key to self-confidence.  Once we understand that, trying to do everything ourselves can also stifle our progress.

No one is good at everything.  We all are good at something, and can appreciate that others are much better a some things than we are.  Whatever it is that we are trying to accomplish, we realize that someone else already knows how to do it well.  Let’s save all that time and frustration that we would have used by getting them to either teach us how to do it, or help us do it.

The quickest path to success is to stick to doing the things you are good at and have others help you with the rest.  Realizing the wisdom of this approach is one of the main reasons why so many people are able to succeed.  Do your best, always be open to learning more, help others, and don’t be afraid to accept help when needed.  Remember to never abuse a friendship and try and return the help a bit more than you received, for then everyone wins!

Carnelian is the stone of pleasure and intense emotion.  Carnelian is found primarily in India as well as various sites in South America.  The most favorable pieces are a deep red to a red orange hue.  Carnelian has a long and storied past, and was once considered strictly the property of the noble class.  People holding a high social status were often buried with this gem stone.  The Carnelian stone is thought to have the powerful strength and stability of the sun, and the intensity of the energy that is found within.  Keep a carnelian stone with you and feel the energy flow.

Carnelian is an energy booster.  It helps the insecure person to find strength within then so they can come into their own.  Carnelian has been used as a “wish stone” for eliciting pleasure, emotional conquests and for stimulating sexual energy.  Carnelian is often used to rejuvenate souls that have become dormant and nonsocial.

If your life needs a boost in any way, consider carrying a Carnelian stone with you, either in the form of a pendant, ring, or the stone loose in your pocket.  Follow us at www.secretserendipity.com as we discover the road to a more productive, satisfying life.
