Where is your faith?



Hengchen Dai, University of Pennsylvania, recent work on a phenomenon she calls the fresh start effect shows that calendar events and special occasions in our lives demarcate the passage of time (e.g., the beginning of a new week/month, a promotion, a birthday) and generate fresh start feelings, which motivate aspirational behaviors such as exercise and dieting. She is also seeking to understand the importance of breaks through a study using archival data from a healthcare setting. In this project, she has demonstrated that taking sufficient breaks from work helps healthcare workers adhere to professional standards (specifically: sanitizing their hands), while the fatigue generated as work shifts progress increases employees’ propensity to “cut corners.”

One of the greatest struggles to overcome when trying to change your ways is the very first one — the act of getting started. PVRguy



Attraction, repulsion....if either one causes stress, doubt, anxiety....
....question your story and see who you would be without it.~ Grace Notes


"Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form." ~ Eckhart Tolle


Look upon the world as if everything is ONE with you. There are no opposing forces. There is no separation. There is nothing to fight or battle with. ACIM Lesson 29 - God is in everything I see. Emma Curtis Hopkins taught ‘God is good; God is everything; so everything is good”.

It is said that if our intention is to help others…we will never have any regret. Regret is a result of trying to make “me” happy. ~ Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche Don't just build a living, build a life! Goodlifeproject Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche: Enlightenment in the Age of Disruption


When their little boat was storm tossed, the disciples were frightened and
cried, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Jesus calmed the wind and waves
and said to the disciples, “Where is your
faith?”
Where is your
faith?

Many have faith in fear and worry more than in God. Do we give way to fear
in the face of threatening circumstances? It would almost seem as though
some people have more faith in the certainty of disaster than in the
certainty of God’s love, care, and protecting presence.
Where is your
faith?

You place your faith where it belongs. You have unshakable faith in God,
and you stand by your faith. Your faith is in the power of God at work in
all persons and in all conditions to restore, to bless, to heal, and to
transform.
Where is your
faith?

Say it aloud in positive affirmative prayer: “
I expect a miracle!”
Positive Christianity. The worldwide PRAYER PLACE inside the Internet. Welcoming all faiths, excluding no one.

“I wasn’t really going for it.  I was just studying it.  Then EVERYTHING changed for me - and I do mean EVERYTHING changed when I decided to focus ENTIRELY on having FAITH IN GOD.” Jennifer Hadley Move on from gathering spiritual information and quit living in your head.


Great are your aspirations. Realize them by affirming silently: “God is my Strength and my Life.”ECH

Remember: Expect Miracles!
