You know that I love the good stuff, the positive stuff and the things that will add value to our lives so here I am again giving you just that. I do a lot of reading and was reading something today from a book that I have been adding to my day for over 8 years. The book is Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach. There is a powerful message here and if you want to please read on for my favorite parts of one of her writings.
Authentic success is having time enough to pursue personal pursuits that bring you pleasure, time enough to make the loving gestures for your family you long to do , time enough to care for your home, tend your garden, nurture your soul.
Authentic success is accepting your limitations, making peace with your past, and reveling in your passions so that your future may unfold according to a Divine Plan. It's discovering and calling forth your gifts and offering them to the world to help heal its ravaged heart. It's making a difference in other lives and believing that if you can do that for just one person each day, through a smile, a shared laugh, a caress, a kind work, or a helping hand, blessed are you.
Authentic success is not about accumulating but letting go, because all you have is all you truly need. Authentic success is feeling good about who you are, appreciating where you' ve been, celebrating your achievements, and honoring the distannce you've already come. It is bestowing love with every task you undertake.
And this is all of our life in a nutshell..... Authentic success is being so grateful for the many blessings bestowed on you and yours that you can share your portion with others. It is Living each day with a heart overflowing.
