Gratitude Project

Have you discovered your life’s mission and purpose? If you have, that’s awesome! If you’re like most of us, you are probably still searching for the true meaning of your life, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of. 

Each of us is a genius in more than one way. Some individuals have a special gift or form of genius that demands expression. Our life purpose is always tied to the very things we love to do.

Why else would we love those things?

For many people, our life purpose will evolve as we mature. It may appear different at different ages or stages of growth.  When we have a sense of the purpose of life in general, and our individual lives in particular, we can develop a mission – a specific task or accomplishment that we want to devote our time and energy to.

A mission defines how we will live out that life purpose.  Just how specific our life purpose and sense of mission needs to depend on each individual and what he or she feels the need for at a given time.

Do you have a specific talent or skill you feel compelled to use? If so, you need to take this gift seriously. It may already have the potential to provide you with a good livelihood if it is not already doing so. If you have something you love to do, ask yourself if you are honoring, developing, and using your talent. Don’t allow yourself to be stopped by your lack of knowledge about developing your gift, or your uncertainty about how to use it. Start to play with your gifts or talent. The Blessism for Your Life’s Mission and Purpose can also help you live a life more aligned with your goals.

Blessism for My Life’s Mission and Purpose

I bless my life’s mission and purpose and my ability to discover it if I haven’t yet discovered it. I bless my passion and my drive. I know my life’s purpose, mission, and goals are totally unique to me. I fully embrace and willingly move toward my mission and purpose every day. I know I have come into this world and into this life to perform a certain role and to achieve something magnificent. I listen to what my heart is telling me to align more fully with this mission and purpose. I look for things that motivate and inspire me and know my divine purpose is unique. I bless and acknowledge my journey towards fulfilling my mission and purpose and know that my life purpose is not fixed. My life’s mission and purpose change as I grow and as I learn more about myself. Today I honor my unique journey towards my life’s mission and purpose and strive to use my gifts and talents to help others and to make the world a better place.

Have you ever really looked closely at a kaleidoscope. If you really examine it you’ll notice it’s made up of thousands of broken pieces. The beauty comes in when all the broken pieces come together, forming a beautiful shape.

The kaleidoscope, with its ever-changing lights, colors and various shapes represents unlimited views, opportunities and the release of blocked creativity. What do you see through your kaleidoscope of life? Do you need to twist it and look through it again to see something better?

In other words, does your kaleidoscope of life contain something you don’t like or is it a panoramic view of breathtaking scenery that you cannot wait to feast your eyes upon each and every day?

Allow yourself the “possibility” to see something different through your kaleidoscope. A different possibility. A different truth. Perhaps even a different view ahead for yourself. A glimpse of light. A glimmer of hope. When you are open to a different vision through the kaleidoscope  “nothing is impossible.”

It’s about removing limitations to your creative thoughts. And it’s about believing what you actually expect to happen.  I have always loved kaleidoscopes and I love seeing the most brilliant colors and interesting patterns. What about you? Are you going to take another look?

Blessism for the Kaleidoscopic of Life 

I bless the kaleidoscope of my life. I bless the ever-changing beauty of the kaleidoscope, with its changing lights, colors, and shapes. Each of these beautiful shapes and colors represents the beauty and complexity of my life. I bless everything this represents. I bless my ultimate potential and my ultimate destiny. I see each day as a new beginning. I know the slightest movement in the kaleidoscope of my life brings in a whole new image and with that, new possibilities. I bless the creative flow and complexity of my life and commit to living in the now, knowing the kaleidoscope of my life is tumbling all the little pieces into place helping to create the magnificent pattern that is my destiny. In the wise words of Alexander Pope, I know life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived.

Do you feel like you are a joyful, happy person by nature? Some people really are. For others, this may be something they have to make a concerted effort to tap into, because their primary tendency may be the opposite.

If you don’t feel like you are happy and joyful by nature, you may want to spend some time every day tapping into and aligning with your joyful, happy self.

What would your version of a joyful happy self look and act like? Try to imagine it.

The secret of living a life where you feel inspired, happy, creative, and joyful is all about being aligned with your soul.

Many of us have this feeling deep inside that there must be more – more to life, more to us, and even more than the eye can see. You could even think of your joyful happy self as an alter ego of sorts, or someone you can tap into when you feel the need.

The more you practice feeling joyful and happy, even if it’s through something like visualizing or a daydream, the easier it will be for you to shift into your joyful happy self whenever you want.

The Blessism for aligning with your joyful happy self will make you feel great! When it comes down to it, feeling happy and joyful is a choice you make, and you can bless and honor that.

Blessism for Aligning with Your Joyful, Happy Self

I bless my ability to align with my joyful, happy self. I no longer allow other people to steal my joy. I protect myself and my energy. I bless all those times in which I may not have felt happy or joyful. I bless and honor the unique journey I have taken through life. I commit to doing those things that light up my soul. I am making decisions so that I can bring more joy into my life. I know I deserve to feel happy. I deserve to feel joyful. Every day I align with this happiness and joy more and more. Feeling happy and joyful is a choice I make, and I bless and honor that. I am ready to jump-start and align with my joyful self. This is my divine right. I know I am responsible for my own happiness and my own joy. I cannot look for happiness or joy within someone else if I don't first experience that joy within myself.  I choose to focus on happiness and joy today and that’s enough.

How would define intuitive guidance? You can view intuitive guidance as the information available to you before your mind steps in and manipulates it in some way. The mind manipulates it by placing its judgments and/or interpretation of what is experienced and sensed. Intuitive guidance can show up in many different forms and it can also be filtered through many spiritual modalities. When I think of intuitive guidance, I definitively consider the empathic aspect of guidance, or the feeling 

There are many ways to connect with intuition and tap into it for personal growth. Our intuitive guidance can help us make decisions, get information on what’s going on emotionally, physically or spiritually, and it can also help give our lives meaning. Some ways you can practice connecting with your intuition are writing and journaling, mindfulness and meditation, Walking out in nature, or even doing something physical like yoga. The more you quiet your mind and “listen” to your intuition, the more it will speak to you. The Blessism for Intuitive Guidance can also help you tap into this wonderful power as well.  

Blessism for Intuitive Guidance

I bless my intuition and intuitive guidance. I bless my internal voice. I follow the wisdom of my inner voice that so lovingly guides me with love and light. I listen to this internal voice with my heart and my feelings. I know my intuitive guidance is a connection to the infinite wisdom accessible to me. I honor and bless my intuition and my innate intelligence. I bless my ability to connect with my intuitive guidance. I know I cannot solve problems at the same level of thought that created them. I know my intuition is something I already possess. It is available to me whenever I need a source of guidance. I bless my intuition and know the more I tune into it and listen to it, the more my intuitive skills will sharpen. I pay attention when I get intuitive nudges. I listen to my body, soul, and my internal sensors. I am connected to my inner knowing. I am guided by my intuitive self. I bless and invite this inner guidance and inner vision in and know when I trust my intuition, I am always guided by love.

What is your heart’s deepest desire? How can you nurture your heart’s desires more?

Our lives can get very complicated making it difficult for us to move and breathe. So many of us feel stuck in our circumstances, whether that means stuck in a situation, stuck in a relationship or stuck within a certain frame of mind. This can be so overwhelming that you end up not working on yourself or your goals at all because you have no idea where to start or what to do. If you try and work on too much at once, you become easily overwhelmed and fail.

To discover our heart’s desires, we have to develop the ability to hear and trust our hearts. We need to quiet our anxious minds, tune out the distractions of daily life, silence the clamoring voices of others. We have to make sacred space to listen to the longings, the callings, the singing of our hearts and souls.

So what are some other ways you can discover this? One way is by engaging in a daily mindfulness or meditation practice. Going within and quieting that self-talk is a beautiful way to connect within. Another way to discover your heart’s desires is to get really clear on what makes you thrive. In other words, ask yourself if your dreams and desires and goals are truly aligned with your passion and your soul? Do the things you engage in feed your soul or drain you? If you feel like you aren’t thriving in life, the Blessism for Nurturing and discovering your heart’s desires is a great one to practice.

Blessism for Nurturing and Discovering Your Heart's Desires 

I bless my ability to nurture and discover my heart’s greatest desires. I honor my heart’s ability to hold an open space for healing today. May the doorway to my heart and my greatest desires always remain open. May I hold a space for love to heal. I bless my capacity to trust I am in the right place at the right time. I bless my ability to create a sacred space to listen to the yearnings of my being. As I quiet my mind, and tune out the distractions, I awaken to my heart’s greatest desires more and more. I bless this process of discovery. This is my greatest gift. I bless my ability to open my heart and hold a space for my desires to flow in. I believe in myself and my dreams. I long to awaken, realize, discover, and know myself fully and completely. As I engage in this process, I am patient with myself. I allow my deepest emotions to come forth. I listen to my intuition. I allow my soul to speak. I am grateful for this ability, and I bless and nurture myself today and every day.

Do you feel as if you are spirituality enlightened?

Spiritual enlightenment is an elusive term. It is our belief that the individual consciousness extends far beyond our physical lifespan. Spiritual enlightenment involves coming to see, know and develop working relationships with the eternal Spirit-Self that exists within you. If you would like to expand your sense of spiritual enlightenment, then you have come to the right place.

While there are many different names for that all-knowing Godlike power, one name that resonates with me is the power of GRACE.

The Power of Grace encompasses many things including: 

For me, this acronym has it all. One of the best things about Blessisms are all the different ways you can use them. You can pray with them, meditate with them, or even read them like an intention or affirmation. You could even use them as part of your daily spiritual practice. The Blessism for the Power of GRACE is a wonderful way to acknowledge that deeper connection within you and around you.

Blessism for the Power of G.R.A.C.E.

I bless and honor the power of grace in my life. I strive to be grateful, rejoiceful, aware, conscious and empowered. I bless and acknowledge there are universal forces that are focused on ME RIGHT NOW!  This Universal Force I call “The Power of Grace.”

I acknowledge I am the object of your positive attention and I'm appreciating your continual gaze on behalf of my well-being. I know no matter where I am, no matter where I am going, no matter what I am doing, and no matter who I'm doing it with I will be in conscious awareness that you too are there with me appreciating me, supporting me, assisting me, acknowledging me, inspiring me and guiding me, and having fun with me. I acknowledge this power of Grace within me. This power always supports me, assists me, inspires me, shows me, helps me, guides me, and is fully aware of me. Through the Power of Grace, I am deeply loved. I am uplifted. I am guided. I commit to getting into an endless loop of this acknowledgement. I bless this divine power and thank this divine power for what it brings me each and every day.

How is your journey of life unfolding at the moment? Are things on track or do you feel like you need some new directions? Change does not often come quietly. If you are going through an upheaval it be a sign from the Universe that things are changing, for the better! 

When you break your bad habits and change your priorities, you give yourself room to grow. As you change, you may also learn that the role you once claimed, isn’t what you are any longer.

You may also begin to realize that you are in fact meant to do something much, much greater. I truly believe that each of us is already on our divine path. You already have everything you need, or at the least the resources to get you there. Your path will always be revealed exactly when you need it. The more you connect with your innate intelligence and your intuitive guidance, the more signs from the Universe, or from Spirit, you will notice. The Blessism for Faith in the Unfolding Journey of Life is a beautiful one to practice if you feel like you need some extra guidance.

Blessism for Faith in the Unfolding Journey of Life

I bless the unfolding journey of life today. I have faith that everything I need is being revealed to me from a higher creative power. My path will always be revealed exactly when I need it. This is a journey of discovery. I am honored and blessed to be traveling on this beautiful road of life. I know my ultimate destiny and divine path are continually unfolding and I trust my journey is unfolding as it should be. I bless this creative process and have complete faith in this process. I allow life to flow with grace and ease. I surrender to my highest and best good and know that that the next step of my journey will reveal itself to me when I am ready and open to receiving this intuitive guidance. I bless and reconnect with my inner wisdom and my intuitive guidance and release anything that may still be holding me back. That is my greatest treasure.

What does the term enlightenment really mean? While there are most likely many different definitions, what’s true for one person may not be true for you. Many of us spend our entire lives on the path to enlightenment. If you feel like you are on the road to enlightenment, you may have noticed some things shifting in your life. 

For example, you may find you have new priorities now. A spiritual awakening will definitely change your life. It may also change your personality, your attitude, and even your priorities. Things you once spent most of your time doing may now seem pointless. This may even mean something as drastic as quitting your job or opening a new business. 

Another common things you may notice is that you’re starting to see what truly matters in life. This may cause you to search for a deeper sense of meaning or life purpose. What you thought you could be is only a fraction of who you’re really meant to become. A spiritual awakening makes you become much more aware of your divine path and purpose in life.

You may also find you’re drawn more to nature. This might mean you find yourself walking outside more, or seeking out a quiet spot in the woods. You might also begin to feel an intense connection to nature that takes you away from the things that used to bother or distract you. As your passion for the outdoors grows, you’ll grow more interested in conserving the planet for future generations which could also lead to other lifestyle changes, as well.

In the end, true enlightenment may be very simple: The ability to live in a world where all that is present is love. The Blessism for Enlightenment is a wonderful simple practice you can engage in as often as you like.

Blessism for Enlightenment

I bless my journey to enlightenment. I bless the path to remembering who I am and finding my true self. I bless my journey back to love. I strive to live in a world without the distortion of the ego and without mental attachment. I bless my ability to live in a world where all that is present is love. I know I am always on the path to enlightenment, and I celebrate that. I fully understand that enlightenment is the realization that the only NOW, the present moment, is the only moment there is. I bless my ability to see the truth of my being and to break free of my ego state of consciousness, which is controlled by my thoughts through worries about the past or the future. I seek to live a life free of resistance. I bless my ability to be at peace with myself and I bless my journey and know my path to enlightenment is solely unique to me. I bless the idea of enlightenment and seek to move from where I am into a higher vibrational state of alignment where my true self and my higher self reside.

Have you ever stopped to think about what your divine destiny is? Are you currently living your destiny or is it something you still hope to achieve? Stephen Covey once said, perhaps the most important vision of all is to develop a sense of self, a sense of my own destiny, a sense of my own unique mission and role in life, and a sense of purpose and meaning.

Imagine if you could get up every day clearly envisioning your ultimate potential and enjoying every aspect of life as you progress toward your ultimate vision. Imagine being able to powerfully express yourself. What if you could really understand your true identity, vision, and mission in life? Wouldn’t that be great?

What if you could begin every day of the rest of your life in the highest possible state of mind, enjoying peace, tranquility, and self-assurance as you follow your vision, knowing you are fulfilling your mission in life? How would that feel? 

It truly is possible – IF you know how. The Blessism for your Divine Destiny is a wonderful one to use to help you manifest your ultimate destiny.

Blessism for Divine Destiny

I bless my divine destiny today and the divine being within. As Stephen Covey once said, perhaps the most important vision of all is to develop a sense of self, a sense of my own destiny, a sense of my own unique mission and role in life, and a sense of purpose and meaning. Accessing and encouraging my human potential for greatness is one of my greatest pleasures in life. I know my ability to be effective as an individual is no longer an option, it is the key to my ability to Sur-Thrive. I bless my ability to move beyond mere effectiveness. I bless my ability to expand my consciousness and achieve my divine destiny in everything I do. I bless my ability to make a significant contribution in life and to live a happy, healthy, fulfilled life of purpose. I bless the divine being within me and the yearnings of my soul. I bless my ability to access the highest level of consciousness and awareness available to me in my highest and greatest good.

Are you consciously creating your life, or simply walking through it?

What is the difference between someone who is merely sleepwalking through life and someone on a more spiritually aligned path?

The big difference is those who are awakening are consciously creating their life as opposed to merely existing in it.

So, what are some other signs that you are awakening or on a more spiritual path?

While everyone has their own opinion, as to what encompasses a spiritual awakening, there are some common things you may start to notice.

Number 1 – You have experienced some kind of massive shift or change in your life, that caused you to re-think everything. This might mean the job you are working at is no longer tolerable, or your relationship is no longer tolerable.

Number 2 – Old friends or acquaintances suddenly drop out of your life. This is another sign that your energy is expanding and you are shifting into a higher level of consciousness. If this has happened to you, don’t worry, new people will start appearing in your life as you regain your sense of self. You may also start avoiding negative or critical people who used to be in your circle of friends.

Number 3 – Certain foods become intolerable. Let’s say, for example, you used to be a junk food junkie, or you loved sweets. You may wake up one day and find you no longer desire them. You may also be much more attracted to healthy, whole foods that match your awakened energy.

Number 4 – You have a strong desire to engage in some kind of self-reflective practice. This might mean you start journaling, listening to high-energy podcasts (like ours), start meditating more, or simply have a desire to move away from your high-energy life.

If any of this applies to you, give yourself a big hug! You are on a very exciting path! Keep going! Today’s Blessism is all about conscious creation and it can definitely help you on your journey of awakening.

Blessism for Conscious Creation

I bless my ability to consciously create my life. I know continuous effort, as opposed to mere strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking my greatest potential. Through my effort and conscious creation, I deliberately choose what I want from life and take the steps I need to pull that reality into my own. I know that to achieve my goals, I must align myself and my consciousness with those things I desire. I bless my ability to use my emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and actions to create my world. I am a divine being perfectly capable of this beautiful power. I bless my ability to nurture my desires and become fully conscious of what I think, feel, and believe. I bless my ability to direct my thoughts, words, and actions so they are in perfect alignment with my ideal life. In the wise words of Rumi, “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” That is the art of conscious creation.
