here's my latest motto for soul prosperity: clean, tidy, and awake!

as if mottos and formulas and slogans and mantras really made a dent in anyone's consciousness. guess what, skeptical friends, they do! billions upon billions of minutes and dollars invested in advertising prove this. so the adoption of personal mantras is kind of our very own tailor-made marketing plan...to sell the idea of soul prosperity to ourselves. and i believe it's time for me to buy.

clean, tidy, and awake vs. dirty, messy, and asleep

clean vs. dirty, tidy vs. messy, awake vs. asleep
clarity, discipline, and wisdom are beautiful things indeed, gems in my psychic crown. and i have so much farther to go. the regret does threaten me at times--how could i possibly have made this or that ridiculously bad choice in life, and wasted time and energy that can never be reclaimed, and contributed such profound negativity and debris to the world's soul? even typing it out like this gives me a lump of grieving in my throat. but onward and upward, moving and grooving like water, which leads me to the next of my latest personal mantras...

clear, flowing, always changing vs. clouded, clogged, and stagnant
yikes, those last three choices aren't too appealing at all. and yet we gorge ourselves on this diabolical feast laid out for us by Chef Stealer, Chef Killer, and Chef Destroyer. it's a feast guaranteed to keep us in a state of haze and maze. water is the great reminder of this need for unencumbrance, casting off excess, existing in a perpetual ballet of renewal.

let's reprogram and embrace prosperity of soul. 3 John 2 in the Bible (right before the books of Jude and Revelation) says it best: "beloved, i wish you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." sign me up, i'm on my way!
