I don’t want to expand Liara’s post anymore. Hers is equally brilliant.

Thank you for sharing this. Makes us realize that life isn’t so bad as we perceive it. At the end of the day, what matters most is positive thinking (no matter what situation we are in) and FAITH in GOD.

It’s pretty amazing how one’s enthusiasm can come through in the form of the written word. I’m so glad you sense that with my words. I’m thankful I have the gift of writing and that blogging has given me the means to share my love, enthusiasm and sense of wonder with people.

I love that story! I’ve had a few experiences like that – you show up for one thing but it actually leads you to something else, usually something you were looking for or something you needed but couldn’t find or even something you didn’t know you needed until that moment! I love it – this sort of thing never fails to awe me.

That’s what I love about the universe, Higher Forces – they never fail to put me in a state of wonder when something magical like that takes place.

Like I said before, I’ve been to your website but I’m not clear as of yet what your industry is? The title of your blog is “Dream Builders” so I imagine you’re a person who helps people build dreams? Tell me more.

And also tell me what kind of a contractor did this woman end up becoming? I’m fascinated with your story.

I agree every individual is being prepared for experiences he or she has not foreseen. I recall an experience in my own life when I went to a lab to get some photos developed. On that particular day, the developing machines were “down” and a technie was there working on the systems. Being friendly as is my nature, I struck up a conversation with this guy. We moved on to speak about my work and it turned out his ex-wife had experience and interest in my industry. That woman has since become one of my contractors. She is a wonderful employee. I had never foreseen finding a new contractor when I went to that lab, and yet, looking back, my communication skills had been preparing me to uncover that opportunity which continues to be mutually-beneficial.

Wow, you really outdid yourself here! What you did was to take my list and bring it to another level. Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to immerse your body, mind and spirit into this little exercise.

Life is indeed a matter of perception.

1.As you deal with situations, remind yourself the results do not determine what matters. You do.

2. As you realize lessons are available to be learned behind every person you meet, learn to see a reflection of yourself that you are not yet seeing.

3. As you are saying “What can I learn from this?,” remember you have been here before and already know what to do.

4. As you are building faith, consider you have no reason to hope for better because this is as good as it gets.

5. As you rediscover your passions, do nto forget to cherish all you are; capable, talented, loving, successful.

6. As you visualize your ideal life, do yourself a favor and look into the mirror. You are already there.

7. As you co-create with God, remind yourself that you are a divine being who underestimates your power.

8. As you grow to value adversity, stop trying to measure the nature of priceless wisdom.

9. As you realize you are always training for something, learn that humbleness can always expand.

10. As you grow to recognize “ah-ha moments,” evolve such that you never take any experience for granted.

11. As you move from believing in coincidence to perceiving synchrony, be generous and share the joy.

12. As you grow to take life less seriously, move to see you constantly transform your emotions in new ways to become more fully present ‘in the now.’

13. As you move to thank people more freely, do not forget to feel grateful for your own self-evolution.

14. As you grow more patient, remind yourself that unlimited opportunities to build patience come to those who know impatience.

15. As you realize you are making a difference with everything you do, learn to be less hard on yourself. You are more than enough, more than adequate already.

16. As you prioritize your own integrity, recognize this is a milestone as you move into the future with new hope, courage and enthusiasm.

17. NOt all fear is bad. It gauges what you do not want and helps you confront what really bothers you.

18. As you move to reduce your comparing and judging, you are facing sources of suffering that are not helping you and strengthening from within.

19. As you realize perceived failure is a great teacher, then you will be more likely to sense character-building strategy rather than demoralize or belittle these experiences in your own life.

20. As you recognize your life has purpose, you are gradually calming down, learning to think and realizing anything can happen based on how you think.

Yes, the Secret really made an impact in terms of clarifying everything I’ve been doing without realizing what it was called. When the Secret came out, I was like “Oh so that’s what it is!”

Glad you liked the list. I look at it from time to time to remind myself of the items on the list when things are a little crazy.

Love the list.
