I HAVE mentioned many times that every day I listen or read material that will add value to me, because that is the only way I can add value to others.
The late Dr. Wayne Dyer’s teaching is brilliant. One of my mentors, Les Brown, always made reference to him, so I researched his work.

Recently, I have been listening and reading a lot more of his materials and will share some with you today on “Transforming Your Life. “
Transforming your life is a very powerful and exciting thing to undertake. Think about this word transform and break it down into two words.
The second word is ‘form,’ it means the physical world we live in and all the boundaries that we experience in our lives.

Trans is the prefix put in front of form. Trans mean to go beyond, to soar above, to go past.
So transform means going beyond the limits of your body. Transformation can happen at any moment in your life. We can change our lives in a moment by changing the way we think and the words we speak.
Our internal dialogue has an enormous effect on every aspect of your life.
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at, change.” – Wayne Dyer.
Know in your heart that there is an invisible intelligence in everything. You have the power to make contact with this Divine Intelligence and create a life of bliss.
There is something divine that flows through all this. You have greatness and an energy that is so powerful that it flows through you and everything you come into contact with. Know it and begin to trust it and you will experience transformation in your life.

The doorway to a higher level of awareness in your lives opens inward. Most of us spend our lives facing the wrong way for the solutions to our problems. Where inward in the quiet empty space within is where the universal intelligence lies; it is where your essence as a human being is.
You need to begin looking forward at who you are and why you are here, instead of outward at the physical world or anything in it. This is your sacred quest. Begin to look inward every day.

Become aware that they are no accidents in our universe. Everything and everyone that shows up has something to teach you. Make this a day of appreciation and bewilderment.
Appreciate everything you come into contact with instead of judging and questioning.
Draw your inner energy from the beauty that surrounds you. When you do so, this energy reception will become a source of strength and sustenance in your life.
As you begin practising beauty-appreciation and seeing it in all things you encounter, including all people as you begin to see the fullness of God in everyone rather than something to judge, you will find a new kind of bliss in your everyday life.

Be peaceful, experience silence, meditate, and really listen to God. The result will be that you will find the solution to each of your problems within yourself — be it related to relationships, finances, health, or self-image.
All within yourself, the peace and the quiet and the solitude all come from an understanding that God wants us to be silent and listen to him sometimes.
Just for one moment today you may experience a peaceful moment and so within you may have a new experience in your life.

Forgive yourself for your transgressions. See that mistakes are lessons for you to transcend. Release yourself from the tyranny of self-recrimination. Make the decision to be free.
Everything that has ever happened in your life has happened for a reason and when you are filled with an absence of self-forgiveness of what you should have done…all of these things are messages you are sending to the universe.
Everything you have done or experienced is over and you have learnt from it, so forgive yourself and move on with your life.
When you seek happiness for yourself, it will always elude you. When you seek happiness for others, you will find it yourself.

I can attest to this, because I am happiest when I see the joy in someone‘s face because of a deed I have done.
Attempt to remove all enemies from your thoughts. The same intelligence that flows through you flows through all human beings. When you know that, you are connected to all, you cannot fathom striking out at others, let alone feeling hatred for them.
We all are here for a reason. God wants us to love and care each other.
We all have to live in this world, so why not encourage this practice? We can all live in a peaceful world.

Writing this article this week has assisted me with some things I am going through in my life and I was beating myself up for too long, saying to myself: “Sonia, you should have known better,” but I have certainly learnt from it and I need to move on.
Let’s continue to motivate and inspire each other.
