Lifting Our Community Up: Daily Positive Intentions
I think about our community a lot. When
I wake up in the morning, I say a small prayer for my family, the team and our community. I ask for courage, compassion, healing, strength and guidance for all of us. I
do the same right before I go to bed. I've been doing this for years (sometimes
I forget too). It helps me keep all of you in mind and I believe it aligns me
with what is important in life. e.g., it grounds me and keeps me on track, so
that I work towards the things that matter and don't spend too much time
worrying about things that ultimately don't matter.
With that in mind, I wanted to invite you to offer your daily thoughts for our community. You can share whatever feels right - whether it's a simple wish for peace and happiness, prayers/beams, or a specific intention. Positive momentum is like a snowball rolling down a hill - the more you build it, the more it grows and the more powerful it becomes.
By sharing our hopes, prayers, or any means that resonate with you, we'll create a stronger, more inclusive network of support. In whatever way you express it, let's put that energy out there for each other.
What is your message, prayer, or intention for today?

Wishing you all deep rest and peace this weekend ✨

I am hoping that 7 cups keeps on supporting and helping more and more members as each day passes!
I just hope I get better soon. I have been suffering for many many years and I pray for everyone to be free from suffering and be happy and fulfilled

Hi Glen! 😊 ❤️ Thank you for this amazing forum post! Such a great opportunity to share positive thoughts and messages with others.
In an effort to share, something that makes me really happy is creating traditions, things I do during certain times of each year. This gives me things to look forward to and it brings me joy! 😊 Doesn't have to be a big thing to make one happy and traditions can be started at any time.
Since we are still in the fall season 🍂 I'll mention, something I like to do is to make a big pot of chili on the day of Halloween. It's wonderful to share a hot meal with friends and family, share with neighbors and everyone else looks forward to it as well. 😊
After that, I look forward to experiencing the tradition of watching "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Sound of Music" as I ramp up for Thanksgiving. Sometimes I sneak an early Christmas movie in there too even before I watch those. Guilty, already watched "Elf" so far. 🎄😁
Even on the daily I know that it can be good to play a little, sing a little and laugh a little each day. We are all busy people, "adulting" and being highly responsible individuals. Nothing wrong with taking moments to seek joy and to still love that little child that still lives with in all of us! ❤️
If anyone would like to sing along today, one of my "go to's" for joy all year long is youtubing "The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music. *laughs at self* 😊 It appears as if that over the years I have become quite adept at yodeling! ha ha ha 😬 . Or, at least this is what I tell myself. Sorry neighbors. Hey, at least I give good chili!
Hoping everyone plays a little, sings a little and laughs a little today. ❤️
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
Enough of struggle and live life fully
I wish for each one to find a way towards their inner fulfillment -there's no greater wealth than that. There's stress, worry, and fear in this world. There are moments of relief and comfort moments, but overall, we are accompanied by very many fears and there is little peace. That is what keeps us running for security and perfect delight -something that is perhaps not available anywhere? But wait! It's available. Not in the world outside; as I turn inward, I discover it.
"Earlier I was looking to change the world, better the humanity. Now, I look to change myself and beautify my mind, and that, in turn, inspires and attracts a beautiful surrounding too -people are moved by the peace and bliss I radiate. The bliss that I could tap into by turning inward and practising a quieter and calmer mind." {Describing the ideal state I want to be in, not a description of the current me😛 Having an ideal helps though!}
So my wish is that all may find a path that goes towards the reservoir of infinite inner bliss!

My intention is to take care of myself as when I take care of myself I can be there for others. To be kind, to be compassionate and empathetic towards others, lastly to take care of my cats.
