I read the coolest thing on my "Just for Today" calendar.

It said, "I remember today is like a blank canvas. Every action, thought, and feeling adds to the canvas. What will I paint today?"

There's something powerful to think about.

Are we painting happy thoughts or negative thoughts?

Are we painting complaining words or affirming words?

What vision are we placing in our mind of where we'd love to be?

Or are we staying stuck in the past where we're unhappy?

Your life is a painting. It's a canvas.

You get to be the creator of your own experience.

Each day is a fresh start, and we have the power to choose what we place on our life’s canvas.

Whatever you focus on will come to fruition.

Not sure what you’ve been focusing on? Just take a moment to look around.

Your life is a reflection of your inner thoughts, beliefs, and actions.

It can be a hard fact, but it's true.

So today, ask yourself: What kind of masterpiece will you create?

This is your life, your blank canvas, and your opportunity to paint a vision of joy, abundance, and fulfillment. 

Do you ever fall into the trap of thinking about terrible "what ifs"?

What if this doesn't work out?

What if I can't ever meet anybody?

What if something terrible happens?

What if I can't find the house that I love?

These thoughts consume us and take up so much energy. 

The Flip Side

Here's a suggestion. Let's shift the perspective to a new set of empowering questions:

What if I was successful?

What if I found that perfect house?

What if this relationship did work out?

What if I was highly successful in everything that I would love?

It takes the same amount of time to go into the worry of "what ifs" of the tragic as you can go into the "what ifs" of success.

So today, really think about, What if life worked out exactly the way that I would love?

Give that thought energy.

As I often say, God gives us everything we want. God always says "yes," but it's what you have faith in, because that's what you focus on. So try shifting to the positive possibilities.

What if I was successful?

I hope you have an amazing day!

Today I want to talk about increasing your sense of deserving because the Universe can only bring to you what you feel you are worthy of receiving. 

When we place limitations on ourselves that tells the Universe to place limitations on what we would love to manifest.

In order to increase our sense of deserving, we can:

First, make a list of 20 successes you have experienced in your lifetime. They need to be both big and small. It can range from…I got my degree to I fed my kids today, or I got out of bed when I didn’t feel like it. Then every day, write AT LEAST one success you have had recently. 

Second, surround yourself with people that are supportive and believe in you 100%. I encourage individuals to dream bigger than they ever have before, and if you tell others this, they may say it isn’t possible. You want to surround yourself with people that believe ANYTHING is POSSIBLE.

Third, let go of your negative thoughts. We tend to love others so much more than we love ourselves. So today, start talking to yourself the same way you would talk to a loved one.

I hope you will utilize these suggestions because they will increase your sense of deserving which will lead to greater and faster manifestation.
