I was watching Rev. Kathianne Lewis, pastor of the Seattle Center for Spiritual Living, on the internet the other day, and heard an affirmation that is now stuck to my bulletin board above my desk:

I AM WILLING TO LIVE A LIFE IN WHICH THERE ARE NO COMPLAINTS!!

Have you noticed how much we humans complain!?!? About our health, our wealth, our jobs, our mates, our children, our parents or ourselves? At first I took that affirmation to be about other people - “I am willing to live a life in which no one complains around me.” But the affirmation wouldn’t let go. Remembering “they” are my mirror, I ordered my-not-so-silent witness (grin) to do some research work. I found when I was using the words “if only”, “why didn’t”, “why doesn’t” or “should” I was in the middle of complaining!! I also realized that complaining is just another form of blaming!

The word complain comes from the old Latin meaning “to lament.” It seems we spend a lot of time “lamenting our fate” when in Truth, we are where we are in life because we chose what we are experiencing. Perhaps we didn’t choose it consciously, we might have chosen by not choosing something different.

The motivational author, Brian Tracy, writes: "I found every single successful person I've ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear specific unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore.”

I AM WILLING TO LIVE A LIFE IN WHICH THERE ARE NO COMPLAINTS!!

Absolutely!! This means not only do I not have complaints – there are no complaints around me as well. I choose to take responsibility for my experiences! I live a life of gratitude for all that I have, all I am and all that will be!!

Dr. Holmes writes: "When the time comes that nothing goes forth from you other than what you would be glad to have return, then you will have reached your heaven."

Thank You Divine Mind!! Blessings, Rev. Angelica

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

Divine Mind is infinitely intelligent and unconditionally loving. It is absolutely everywhere present, including within me. This Mind is my mind, and is powerful beyond measure.

I celebrate the power of choice as I call it forth consciously. I accept both Love and Law flowing through me revealing my perfect Truth. I choose to have any inner conflicts that have shown up in my life as lack, limitation, not enoughness or victimization, be transformed by my knowing Truth. I declare I live a life without complaints. I choose love, joy and perfect harmony with my world. I choose to live my true nature – the nature of The Divine.

These choices fill me with gratitude and a deep inner peace fills my heart and mind. Today is a good day to be alive! And so it is.
