Positive Affirmations & Positive Sayings

Tucked away in my heart is a beautiful gift. It is the passion that my Creator wove within my soul. This is a tremendous gift because it means that I have been given desires and talents that are unique to me.

I have special abilities, exceptional thoughts, and precious truths. When I decide to honestly recognize my passions, I allow worldly happiness to enter my life.

There may be times when I keep my passions hidden. Occasionally, I may forget to indulge my passions or to recognize the value they bring to my life. I may even try to hide my dreams because I fear criticism from others.

But I realize it is useless to deny or hide my passions because they intertwined in my soul. When I ignore these thoughts, feelings and desires, I deny myself a chance at achieving worldly happiness.

My passions make me feel alive. By utilizing my passion, I feel complete. When I actively develop pursuits that bring me fulfillment, I am invigorated. I know that I am living my life’s purpose.

Whether I am learning a new recipe, singing a beautiful song, writing in my journal, allowing myself to experience nature, or finding new ways to bring joy into children’s lives - these pursuits make me whole.

My passion is my pathway to worldly happiness so I am always looking for new ways to incorporate my passion into my life. My Creator has given me a gift, and my gift to my Creator is to use my passion to reward others and myself.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What is my passion?
2. Have I kept this passion hidden? If so, why?
3. How can I acknowledge my passion?

I allow new expressions of love in my life without hard feelings because my relationships are fluid and constantly evolving.

I know that personal growth involves change and that one member of a relationship cannot change without affecting the other. And I see this as a good thing.

I cannot hang onto the status quo simply because it is predictable. Instead, I must keep myself open to the new shape of my relationships and trust that our love will flourish as we continue to grow.

Some who needed me in the past may not need me as much now. This is good! This is a sign of growth. I am open to this growth and will not try to keep those I love dependent on me, so that I can continue to receive the expressions of love that I have been used to.

I will trust that growing people are happy people, that happy people are loving people, and that the love I gave will come back to me twenty-fold.

I think of a child, bringing me dandelions. If she brought them to me as a teenager, would they even mean the same thing? What about as an adult?

I may miss the toddler with the fistful of sunny weeds, but would I really want to keep her so young and so helpless? No! I must allow her to move on into something deeper, something more complex.

The same is true in all my relationships. I give myself permission to let go of one form of love so that I am able to receive a newer and better expression of that love.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How have my relationships changed over time?
2. What benefits have I received because of my willing to let others grow and change?
3. Am I hanging onto an expression of love in my life that would be better turned loose?
