Vision

. Do not let your vision

be limited by another persons

vain attempt to explain how

humanity works in God's world.

Allow your minds eye to see

what ever your Higher Power

has put into your imagination.

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them, and try to follow where they lead." ~ Louisa May Alcott

Have the faith to conceive even though you may not yet have the strength to believe.

"Cynic, n: a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are,
not as they ought to be." ~ Ambrose Bierce

Do not be the cynic or the critic, allow others to explain their visions to you

and then take what you want and leave the rest. Everything has a negative and

a positive, a sunny side and a dark side, the good and the bad, believe what

you feel is the next right thing, the vision that your Higher Power has given you.

A Higher Power has given everyone the ability to envision things, so that we

may all strive to make something more of ourselves.

"Champions aren't made in the gyms.
Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -
- a desire, a dream, a vision."                             ~ Muhammad Ali

An idea is a single thought, a single step, whereas a vision is the complete

stairway into the unknown. Do not step blindly, use the direction, the will

of a Higher Power, to build a stairway that will rise to the occasion.

Today, do not limit your vision, dream large.

Today, may all your visions be of charming sights.

Today, have the courage to live your dreams.

Happiness is a vision from God.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Ownership

Ownership is not a right that can be demanded,

ownership is a privilege that must be earned.

Work for it.

People, places and things. Mind, body and soul.

Friends and lovers are partnerships in which

we must take responsibility for partial

ownership.

Work at the relationship, do not just keep score

 

and do only your half of the work, know that

 

some days you may have to work harder than

 

 others and some days you may have to do all of the work.

"When you make a commitment to a relationship,
you invest your attention and energy in it more
profoundly because you now experience
ownership of that relationship."                              ~Barbara De Angelis

Do not let yourself be abused, the friend or lover must know how you feel about

their efforts when you feel they are falling short.

If all of the time in the relationship is spent on judging each others efforts,

the effort should be made to change ownership.

Never own a relationship to the point of jealousy.

 If you take ownership and deal with things that are bothering you,

then, by the very process of dealing with them, they very often will go away.

Places can be owned, but know in your heart that a

Higher Power made this world for all to enjoy.

Practice stewardship and share your space with

those who have a like mind to conserve and preserve.

Things which are owned are not a substitute for self esteem.

Keep your pride in balance and own only what you need.

Mind your mind, ownership of your thoughts and actions

is key to living a life that is happy, joyous and free.

"Freeing yourself was one thing;
claiming ownership of that freed self was another."   ~Toni Morrison

Think good, think positive, live good and prosper.

You own your body and keeping a sound mind in a

healthy body leads to a life that is to be enjoyed.

You do not own your soul.

Take ownership of all the aspects of your life,

the people, places and things, the mind and the body,

and your soul will be content to do the will of your Higher Power.

Your soul is the enjoyment of life that completes the Universe,

the responsibility of making this world a better place for all,

no matter who thinks they own what.
 
Ownership is respecting yourself, others and your Higher Power.

Laugh, love and let your heart dance, for you own this moment.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
