Thank you!!!

The words are so special since the first memory takes me back to my Nana… who used it most regularly, with a smile… For some reason… she always used it in triplicate…

Thank you… Thank You… Thank You

Last week… years after she said Goodbye in body… I heard the similar intonation from my little nephew Veer… who is all of 4years and 3months… but said it with the same sparkle in his eyes… as he said Goodnight… He also said…

Thank you Thank you Thank you

It awes me to feel the power of these two words… it always brings a smile to my face… it always brings a smile to almost any person’s face. Even my maid Durga says

“Thunk You didi…” with a broad smile on her face… when I pay her a compliment for something special she does.

How much more joy must it give to the ears of the creator when we say THANK YOU for ALL THAT we have received.

How wonderful for God to feel the joy of your voice when you as much as look to the heavens and say…

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Why then don’t we find more reasons for GOD to know we are THANKFUL? How often are we able to look at things and THANK GOD for KNOWING? How often have you said THANK YOU to the person who cleans the street? How often have you THANKED GOD for your Breath?

and do you know when your THANK YOU’s resound in God’s ears???

It is at a time when you are filled with a GREATER awareness of SORROW… a greater KNOWINGNESS of a CHALLENGE… that God hear’s you louder and clearer… for in that THANK YOU… God knows your FAITH is strong ENGOUGH to KNOW that you’re OK!!! Your Faith in his plan is far greater than your CIRCUMSTANCE. Your BELIEF in GOD’s PLAN for your LIFE brings you more joy that the PROOF of your present pain!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you…

to all the wonderful people who taught me the power of my FAITH was stronger than the present awareness of WANT!

to all the authors who wrote the books God wanted me to read…

to all the teachers who spoke of things I didn’t agree with… which made me dig deeper to find the truth of Gratitude!!

to all my friends, who walked away when I needed them the most, only so, I may walk in total confidence from WITHIN to WITHOUT!!

to all my learning moments… that kept me strong in faith even though what I held to be TRUE crumbled around me.

to all  of you who will read this and feel the need to resonate the power of THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU… in your own personal experience that you may EMERGE a Dedicated Enthusiastic Empowered and Positive person… powered by Gratitude… that you may radiate this love through your own personal experiences and spread it across the world!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

The Book of Job!!!

4 reminders later… I am beginning to read the signboard!!!

First it was my sister who spoke to me… and she described Job, as a wonderful wonderful lesson to keep oneself grounded in faith even when all else seems to crumble all around!! A subject I’d often spoken to her about and yet, reading the book of Job easily connected her to the CORE of the lesson she needed to learn

Last Sunday Rev Arun Andrews  of RZIM spoke on the subject  emphasised on the LOSSES that JOB faced and how EVEN IN THE LOSSES he praised GOD!!! As he spoke, I was wonderfully transported into the WHY of my presence at this particular service and my gratitude extended to the heavens in the sheer KNOWING that God indeed has a greater plan for my life and the purpose of this period holds SOOOO many lessons to be cherished!

On Wednesday I watched a movie on sony pix “Keeping Mum” in which the subject of a Vicar’s speech at a convention was “God’s Mysterious ways” and a rather THOUGHT PROVOKINGLY written script that stayed longer with me than the rest of the movie  

On Thursday I was speaking with Aunty Colleen… someone who is really really the one person I share so much with…. and she spoke to me about the most important part of the story of JOB… the beginning WHEN GOD and Satan discussed JOB and the end of the book… when God Blessed JOB with double of all he lost!!!

While I realise that there are more than 4 reasons for me to read the book of Job… the deeper thought is to review it from the PERSPECTIVE of Gratitude!!

Could there be a reason far greater for the many reminders for me to read this book again? … for me to read between the lines of that which is written?… for me to express a greater gratitude for my own personal growth in faith?…. Or is it just for me to understand the PHASE which I am NOW in… and learn to truly be grateful for the brilliance of faith beaming straight through history into the present moment… with a PURPOSE of RESOLUTION!!!

hold on… watch out for this space…. God’s Mysterious Ways in Dee’s life is unfolding… a truth RECEIVED and SHARED is a TRUTH lived!!!

Learning to use the POWER MANIFESTING MANTRA

I know you’ve been wondering why there hasn’t been too much activity on the DeePositive Life blog, well, here’s some really good news especially for those of you who are trying their darndest to loose some extra flab around their bones for the right reasons! I’ve been wanting to do that for years and have finally found a truly enlightened way to begin the journey of resculpting my body to feel the power and confidence of me that I’ve claimed I didn’t need till I reached within and met the really really hot young Dee who only hid behind the kgs to fight taking the step out of her comfort zone. I’ve been asked by many how I’ve enabled this change and I smile… for it isn’t the world’s greatest secret really but the greatest gift I’ve given myself to allow the beauty I know is within to begin to shine bright on the outside ;)

In my growing years… I don’t mean the physical growing alone ;) I used to defend every ounce of fat on my body and rubbished anyone who said anything contrary to what I wanted to hear… Can I see you nodding right now… ha ha ha ha… I knew I wasn’t the only one!!! Thank God I wasn’t of the variety that were made fun of and chose to run and hide for cover hoping that they’d never have to face another large joke!

I took to dancing and sports and realised even more confidently that my fat was just the outer cover to protect me from the all those who would ever be attracted to what they saw instead of being attracted to who they met. I’ve still had the pleasure of having many admirers for the sheer confident person I am, often, have had people not make a pass for the fear of getting hit below the belt… not a very pretty way to feel I guess!!

Till last year, I couldn’t have really been bothered, even with the High Blood Pressure and the lurking sugar levels… to me…. being me… meant being FAT and that is the ONLY way I really knew me… and that is the way I chose for someone else to come along and learn to love me!!

Till Gratitude taught me a new way to be… I discovered a whole new special me… and so as a part of my spiritual KNOWING ALLOWING ACCEPTING and MANIFESTING of the INNER ME… I am choosing to share the process with you… that you may find your INNER you that you want to radiate without and live a real and complete DeePositive Life on the whole. A new reason to reach deep within to find the new perspective from which this life will radiate!

I found myself wanting to know why I held on to so much of the excess weight for so many years… and longed to free myself of the bondage of being the way I am… just to open a new window of PERSPECTIVE and rejoice in the new view of me!!

I allowed the power of KNOW ALLOW ACCEPT MANIFEST to the test… and here’s what I found:

1. I KNOW I want to be a perfect me… to radiate a perfect me…
2. I ALLOWED the new thought to become my point of KNOWING!! I saw a slimmer me, a very very healthy me stare straight back at me through the eyes of gratitude and I liked what I saw… I continued to search for it everyday in Gratitude and continued to live it each day through the true feeling of Gratitude till it began to be the regular image of me that kept peeping at me each time I closed my eyes. It became such a regular feature that I began to close my eyes longer to live this moment stronger… I had ALLOWED this KNOWING.
3. I then began the next step of the process… ACCEPTING the new me… with Dedication Enthusiasm… ACCEPTED myself, accepted the compliments from others, ACCEPTED a new size of clothes, ACCEPTED a new way of dressing up, ACCEPTED that I didn’t have to hide my FAT away because I was ashamed of it… Through gratitude I learned to ACCEPT this change… from within and wanted to test it outside, I chose to see pictures of mine in which I looked really fat and learn to ACCEPT them with Gratitude as a perfect beginning to the END process. How could I ever appreciate the change if I couldn’t look at the reality with Gratitude!!
4. What I NOW KNOW, ALLOW and ACCEPT is beginning to MANIFEST… even though the weighing scale still doesn’t show it… those around me seem to see it… I feel it… my clothes KNOW it… I have started buying a size smaller and that is the true benchmark for this new beginning.

Isn’t it fascinating to simply see changes that make you feel so very very different only in a matter of days… as thoughts continue to become things… and my need to sustain this continues to become stronger… I am choosing to share this with you… that you too may aspire to make this small SHIFT in thought and CREATE a whole new reality.

For those who don’t BELIEVE, well… it’s a matter of TASTE ;) I have used this successfully because I graduated from this being a story of BELIEVING and RECEIVING to KNOWING and MANIFESTING!!! You are free to CHOOSE that which you most want to DO… let the KNOWING come from within that you may manifest it without!!

Dedicated Enthusiastic Empowered Positive!!
