Megs ’s Comments (group member since May 17, 2013)

Megs ’s comments from the Goals: Visualization and Attainment group.

Whether within our own thoughts, spoken or written, words have the power to transform the world we live in.

Language is at its best when used to inspire others to find the best in themselves.

I remember the times I used to sit with my grandparents and they would share with me their experiences and words of wisdom. They would tell me what lessons life taught them and what they learnt on the way. Most of them have been lost, since it's been years and I hardly remember them now!! But it crosses my mind now and then that I should have kept a journal, some record of all that they told me..

There are also times when I come across some very good quotes while reading a book. I usually bookmark it, but then soon forget about it.

So for this reason I am starting this thread so I could not only keep a record of all the good words I hear and read about...including my favorite quotes...but also share it with you all...You never know which one's have the power to transform your life!!



Post here the words, quotes or your own beliefs/experiences that may be an inspiration to others..

Sometimes one word/sentence can brighten your day!!!

I am glad to hear that you have it all under control. Any time any second of the day you want to talk to somebody...I would be glad if you'd consider me there.

I can understand the concept of cleaning up negative people from life. I have recently cut ties with some people who meant the world to me...two of them were my childhood friends, they have been in my life for over 18 years...it hurts bad. It is important to stay happy and positive though..one negative thought or energy source attracts a thousand more of their kind....and I think I heard it somewhere that life is too short to waste it on things and people that don't matter....

You have already told me that you focus on staying positive..There is this thread.."The gratitude journal" where you can focus on all the good things in life and remember them everyday..here is the link!! It might help you feel the positive energy you already have in you....:D:D

I feel an energy today, it feels like something good is coming my way. I feel energized. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful for this hope for a better future. I a grateful for every little thing that made me smile today. I am grateful that I was there when my little puppy stood up and walked for the first time.

I am grateful for this beautiful day. Thank you..:D

I also have a terrible story with my mom. But I have become so jaded in life there just is not much forgiveness left in me..."

I am so sorry to hear that Savannah!! Family have the power to hurt us in a way no one else can....

It can be very hard to forgive certain things and certain people. Though I really hope you have come to terms with the circumstances and they don't hurt you or define/affect your actions or judgement of other people, else it would do more harm to you than it would do to them. That would not be right.

I live by the power of positive thinking in my day to day life."

It's great to see you hear Savannah..
That's very good.. Being positive is very important...I hope you like it here...surf around!! See if there is anything you like...and if you would like to share something from your side...please go ahead...:D:D

I feel it makes one very humble and giving, it makes a person feel happy and fulfilled...that feeling of loving somebody and being loved in return gives a sense of satisfaction. It is like a beautiful journey that encourages us to hope for a better tomorrow....!!

I am grateful to be healthy and alive.
I am grateful to have an amazing brother..
I am grateful to be a person who has dreams and hope for a better tomorrow.
I am grateful for air, water, food and love in the world....
I am grateful to have friends who are concerned about me..

It is a beautiful day today for me...!!! I am grateful to be happy!!!

I feel anger because it hurts that she doesn't even try....I think I need to stop looking for ways to fix this...and focus on moving on. I can forgive...and just feel sad!! I think I can....

That's a nice video!! A very nice one...

Thanks Katya. Thank you so much. :D

That's beautiful Katya. I am speechless.

I feel so angry most of the time at my mom. She was never there. Now sometimes, some days in years..she is! It's hard to understand when she tries to act like nothing happened or that she was always there. I never really say anything..but usually inside...I am not unaffected. I don't see her apologizing ever, and when I try talking to her..it's always the same..."You don't understand..it's not about you." Maybe someday...we will work it out too...your story gives me Hope....!!! Thanks Katya...means a lot.

And I am sorry for your loss. I can see just by your words that your mom was a beautiful person!!

Ohhh!! I think the idea is to forgive and move on. To try not to let them have any power on you again...

There is nothing wrong with wanting the most we can get out of life. It is okay to want money, it is okay to want nice things. It is okay to refuse to settle for mediocrity and just good enough. We deserve happiness and we have every right to pursue it.

But in this pursuit of our ideal life, we can often lose sight of all the wonderful things we might already have. We put all our focus on the things we do not yet have. This I think decreases your happiness in the present moment and you forget to appreciate all the wonderful things you do have in your life.



Expressing sincere gratitude can be difficult because we take for granted many of the things that we should have profound gratitude for. We take them as a given and we do not realize how great it is to have these things. Of course we would realize it if they were taken away the next day. I am talking about food to eat, having a place to live, your freedom, your health, friends, family and so on...



So my friends no matter what is happening right now, no matter how many things you can point to that seem to suck in your life at this very moment, you need to move your attention to the things to be grateful for, no matter how insignificant they may seem compared to your problems now. It is all a matter of perspective and you can choose to feel good even if your logical mind cannot see anything to feel good about right now...




Use this place to express gratitude for all the things in your life. No matter how insignificantly little they might be. Try doing it every day. Try to thank the universe for all the good things you have in your life....it will start your day at a positive note!!!

"I AM GRATEFUL FOR ______________"

LOVE is by far the greatest and most powerful force known to man!!



How do you think Love changes things? Did it change you or people around you? Did it change how you feel everyday in the morning when you wake up, or every night when you go to sleep?

Feel that love now and share with us how do you think LOVE changes things? Tell us what it changed for you...or just share with us how it makes you feel..powerful?elated?

P.S.: While you do it, I hope you feel the power of that love in you and it makes you smile through the rest of your day!!!

You are working on it as in..don't you like that you forgive people easily and move on??
