Your Path Ahead

Let the energy of the sun uplift you

Your path ahead looks pretty amazing.

Clarabelle

If only you could see the greatness that lies ahead for you.

Hold a future vision of living a fulfilling life with passion and purpose.

Believe that every step you take, leads you to your dreams.

As you progress through your life today, make each step count. All you have to do is focus on each single step and in no time a brighter horizon will form.

Don’t dwell on the grey skies, for then it will surely rain. Seek the blue above and let the energy of the sun uplift you.

Believe.

Clarabelle

Grey Skies Blue

Celebrate your efforts

Turn your grey skies blue.

Clarabelle

Think of one thing you can do today to turn your grey skies blue.

Be your own light of hope.

No one can save you but YOU – please read that one again.

Life can knock you down a thousand times, and it probably will. But the most important thing is for you to never accept that failure is forever.

Failure is not a word that I like to ever use, because I choose not to believe in it. I much prefer to put a positive spin on things not going your way.

Where you tried, celebrate your efforts for giving it a go. I am sure there are many valuable lessons that you took away from the experience. You might have gained a better perspective on life or achieved clarity.

If you went for it and then decided it wasn’t for you – I salute you!

The blue skies are coming.

BELIEVE

Clarabelle

The Rain

There is a lot to be thankful for.

The rain does not drench the exquisite beauty of a rose.

Even on the rainiest of days, there is a lot to be thankful for.

“The sun was forecast to shine all day today but the weather took an unsurprising turn and it rained non-stop.”

a.k.a. “LIFE”

There are just some things that we cannot control, but we can control how we respond to them. My message to you is:

“Dance in the rain, regardless.”

a.k.a “LIFE”

Respond to life with love, joy, happiness and enthusiasm. If things don’t go your way, move on swiftly with a smile and a plan.

A great life, is truly up to you.

I see you there, dancing in the rain.

Clarabelle

Focussed Energy

Are you ready?

In focussed energy, we find our future.

If you really want to change your current status, you have to channel all your energies into making that happen.

You have to go ALL IN , in order to get ALL OUT, of any unwanted situation.

It seriously is up to you and you’ve got to have real clarity on what you’re going to do everyday, in order to make that positive change.

Do the work and stay totally focussed on the goal in hand. It may also help to have an emotional trigger that will keep you on track.

Work, work, work on your plan, as much as you can, and in time, your efforts WILL pay off.

If it means, getting up at 4am every morning to fit the work in, then do it.

Your energy is so mighty and powerful, it can help you achieve so much more than you think.

Are you ready? If you are, you will feel a different person from within. You will switch into ‘gladiator’ mode and nothing will stop you until you get there.

I’m in gladiator mode, are you?

Clarabelle

Self-Success

Live in each moment

In the spirit of self-success – RISE

In the spirit of self-succes – RISE!

Be open to the abundance of opportunities around you and use your inner strength and determination to raise your game.

You deserve a GREAT life and you deserve to be truly successful in the pursuit of your dreams

If you’re really serious about it, you’ll do all that you can to ‘make it happen’.

The Universe will serve you well, if you serve you well and by that I mean, honouring your core values, every step of the way.

You will never take a wrong path by aligning to who you truly are and what you stand for.

The door to your best self is only a few steps of bravery away.

Live in each moment and commit to conquering any inner fears that come your way.

There is only ever one battle in life and that is the inner battle of where you stand and where you want to get to.

Believe me, without self-sabotage you would be there already, so I guess that’s a great place to start.

Don’t believe everything you think – especially the negative stuff, for that will only take you backwards.

Forge forward with your head held high and you will succeed.

Clarabelle

Deliver Everyday

Take charge of your thinking

Deliver everyday on becoming the best version of yourself.

Deliver by honouring your core values and serving your inner purpose.

Trust yourself to deliver on the things that matter to you and forge forward in the pursuit of your dreams.

Success is an accumulation of ‘doings’ aligned with your goals, that in time, manifests into your desired outcome.

Take charge of your thinking and channel your energies into a focussed and habitual manner that serves you well.

You won’t achieve what you want by delivering on this once or twice a week. Your success will be determined by the work you put in everyday and that is an absolute fact.

If you want to get real results, act accordingly and know the fruits of your labour will appear in good time.

Keep at it my friend.

Clarabelle

True Blessing

Remember how special and unique you are

Life is a true blessing.

There is no greater gift than the gift of life but often we don’t appreciate this absolute miracle.

When times are tough, we often focus on how hard this is for us and we forget to see life’s beauty for what it truly is.

Remember how special and unique you are and no matter how difficult life gets, know you are so much stronger than any challenge that comes your way.

Stay you……always.

Clarabelle

Beautiful Day

Beauty is everywhere

When the sun sets on a beautiful day, remember you are part of that beauty.

Beauty is everywhere, but it is never anywhere without you. Read that one again!

I wish for you, everyday, to exude your natural inner beauty.

Clarabelle

Colours

Let the world see you shine

Breathe in the colours of life.

You only have to look up to the sky to see beauty at its best.

You only have to feel with your heart to believe that you’re on the right path.

Be grateful for the abundance around you and offer out your love everyday.

You are special, unique and wonderful in every way – let the world see you shine.

Clarabelle

Care

Care about caring

If you care, you’ll get there.

Care about what you’re doing and where you’re going.

Care about the things that are important to you.

Care about caring and you’ll not only get there in a better way but you’ll be the better person for it.

Care because you want to.

I care that you are here and I am grateful.

Clarabelle

The Beauty of Life

Never rush the process of life

Savour the beauty of life.

To get the best out of a joyful life and all its magical wonders, one must savour each beautiful moment.

Never rush the process of life and the abundance it offers you. Take time to relax in its self-healing powers and float in its waters of love.

Life is not a sprint to the finish line, it is a treasured, slow walk along the white sandy beach, soaking up the wonderful energies of the warm sunshine.

Baby steps will take you anywhere you want to go.

Clarabelle

Patience is Underrated

Patience is beyond valuable

Patience is underrated, make sure you get some of that.

Patience is beyond valuable on your journey of life.

Develop your patience so you can face any tough situation going forward in your life.

This one I’m working on and it’s a whole lot harder than you think.

How’s your own patience?

Clarabelle

Self-Mastery

Flourish in your own magnificence

Be a weapon of self-mastery.

Once one conquers thyself miracles happen.

Your goal on this journey of life is whatever you want it to be and I guarantee you that you’ll get there so much faster if you focus your mind on mastering thyself.

The greatest version of you is waiting to be unleashed and only you my friend have the key.

Keep on keeping on and flourish in your own magnificence.

Clarabelle

You Give

We all grow in different ways

You give, you grow, you live.

Giving is an ultimate part of living. We all grow in different ways but a better way to flourish is my giving yourself to others in a purposeful and meaningful way.

Give a little of your time, love, service and knowledge and you will surely blossom like a beautiful flower under the brightest sun.

Giving is living and growing is showing that everyday.

Clarabelle

Do It for Yourself

It’s time for you

Do it for yourself.

It’s time to stop the excuses for not taking important action.

It’s time to face what needs doing – head on.

It’s time to believe in yourself and your capabilities.

It’s time to show yourself how you can turn things around.

It’s time for YOU.

Clarabelle

Believe

What will it take?

You’re better than you believe.

Maybe it’s truly time now to really start believing in yourself.

Think how different your life could be if your self-belief reached greater heights.

What will it take from you to believe in yourself more?

Remember your experience and what you bring to the table.

Clarabelle

Master Your Mind

Soar to your dreams

Master your mind and see your success elevate to the greatest heights.

Your mind is so powerful – it can make you or it can break you.

Think of how you can use your mind’s power in such a positive way in your life.

Visualise what a great life looks for you and see yourself there, embracing every moment.

Engage your mind in thoughts of strength, abundance, achievement, success and watch how your behaviour changes for the better.

Always engage your mind in thoughts of gratitude for all you have now and in advance of amazing things to come.

Make today and everyday a ‘master your mind day’ and you will soar to your dreams and more.

Clarabelle

Positioning is Key

A whole lot of magic right there.

Never underestimate the power of positioning – “POSITIONING IS KEY”.

If you blend positioning with insightfulness, then that’s a whole lot of magic right there.

Are you in the right position for success?

What insights can you make today to help you succeed in the future?

I believe, with the right positioning and insightfulness, it will stand you on the edge of glory.

Where are you standing?

Clarabelle

Grow

Use your strengths to achieve greatness

Use what you’re good at to grow.

Everyone is good at something, so why not put your special talent, skill or experience to good use.

Get a reward from being good at what you’re good at.

Use your strengths to achieve greatness.

I know you know what that is for you and surely now is a good time to make it happen.

Go go GO FOR IT!

Clarabelle

Horizons

Champion your greatness

Expand your horizons like never before.

It’s a big wide world out there – make sure you keep on walking.

Even when you take baby steps forward towards your dreams, goals and aspiration – it’s still progress!

Champion your greatness and unleash your potential into the world.

Clarabelle

In the Light of Day

When faith meets love

Poetic heart,
shining bright,
in the light of day,
on a starry night.

You give me hope,
and help me grow,
you let me see,
what I should know.

Times gone by,
tells the story,
when faith meets love,
wisdom and glory.

I hear your words,
gently talking,
guiding me forward,
to keep on walking.

Clarabelle



Lucky You

Get excited about life

Daily affirmations can be so positively powerful and can make a dull boring day, come alive with contagious enthusiasm.

“I am so lucky, everything is working out for me.”

Find an empowering, upbeat affirmation that gets you excited about life and all its opportunities.

We are here, experiencing everything life has to offer – we truly are the lucky ones!

Clarabelle

Transformational Energy

Everything is energy

Transformational energy, starts with you.

It’s your focus, commitment and positive energy that will help you make any personal transformation that you want.

Everything is energy and you must channel it in the right direction for you.

A thought is energy and it’s your inner power that can magnify this into reality.

So the question is . . . . What do you want to transform in your life?

See yourself there.

Clarabelle

New Year Hearts

A celebration of life

Happy New Year wonderful you. Here is my first poetic verse of 2023 to you.

New year hearts,
sharing the best,
travelling together,
north, south, east, west.

A world of kindness,
where all do care,
a celebration of life,
I'll meet you there.

Where love is forever,
and happiness lives,
encouraging greatness,
and everyone gives.

May this New Year,
show you the light,
of how special you are,
wonderful and bright.

Clarabelle

No Excuse Year

Achieve brilliant things

Make 2023 your year for no excuses.

Excuses are old news, they drain you from good energy and hold you back from moving forward.

Excuses will never get you anywhere you truly want to go in life.

May 2023 be your ‘no excuse year’ and may you put your positive action into achieving brilliant things that make you feel super happy inside.

You’ve got this – this year and every year.

Clarabelle

Rise Higher

Opportunities are everywhere

May your thinking rise higher than the morning sun.

Today, think big things! Think so big you even astound yourself.

When you raise your thinking to another level, something extraordinary happens and you become connected to a new field of opportunities.

The higher your thinking, the more tremendous the opportunities.

Rise high wonderful you and make 2023 your best year yet!

Clarabelle

The Purest Light

Let you shine

The purest light exudes from you.

As soon as you realise even the sun cannot compete with your own beautiful light, the greatest things begin to happen for you.

Your pure light can permeate any problem, challenge or worry and all you have to do, is let you shine.

Yes indeed – LET YOU SHINE – today and everyday.

Clarabelle

The Magic of Life Itself

Truly ‘live’ your life

In life we see death, In death we see life.

The quote above may seem a little bit morbid at this time of year and I definitely don’t want to bring any darkness into your life today.

I want you to think about how this quote speaks to you. In my own mind, it creates a sense of appreciation and gratitude for the now and the magic of life itself. It pushes me to see ‘LIFE IN LIFE’ and to cherish that each and everyday.

Truly ‘live’ your life and know what that means for you.

As 2023 approaches believe in life, believe in your magnetic energy and believe in your self-power.

Clarabelle

Now is Forever

There is no greater presence than now

I want you to really think about the above quote and what it speaks to you.

There is no greater presence than NOW and no greater answer than NOW.

As soon as you become solely aware of this power, a positive internal shift begins to happen.

Time begins to slow down and eventually doesn’t exist. Worries become non-existent and joy becomes more of a priority or just IS.

Life changes thought or thought changes life? – that won’t matter anymore, because your true presence will thrive in natural flow.

You may never get to experience pure reality but one thing is for sure, if you do miss out on this one absolute truth, you truly haven’t lived.

Life doesn’t have to be as complicated as we make it. Calm waters make more impact than stormy seas.

I invite you to ponder in the stillness of life today.

Clarabelle

Thee Perfect Christmas

Share the best of you always

For me, Christmas is all about family and enjoying special quality time with them.

It’s the simple things over the Christmas period that can bring the greatest joy.

Things like going for a walk in the countryside, playing good old fashioned board games and enjoying a warm cup of hot chocolate whilst laughing and talking with the family.

A magical Christmas is in these miracle moments and, in my eyes, there is no fancy gift that could really replace that specialness.

Be mindful this Christmas to stay present in each precious moment rather than focussed on the presents at the bottom of the Christmas tree.

The New Year is nearly upon us, so why not use the Christmas holidays to think about creating your perfect year ahead then move into the “doing” zone on 1 January 2023.

Share the best of you, always!

Clarabelle

Take Yourself Home

It’s time to come home to you

It is in the depths of darkness we find our magical light.

Take yourself home – not to a place or to familiar people – I mean, take yourself home to you.

Remember what makes you tick and what makes you feel alive. It’s easy to get lost in the crowd and do what everyone else is doing but what if that’s not really you?

Maybe it’s time to take your foot off the gas and stop to think about you, what you’re doing and where you’re going?

Being true to yourself is much more difficult to achieve on the hamster wheel of life – that’s why you must break out of that cycle and take a breath for you.

It’s time to come home to you and it’s time to make the time for it.

You’ve got this!

Clarabelle

This Christmas

I wish YOU a magical Christmas

As Christmas falls upon us and 2022 comes to an end, may you be mindful of the positive changes you made this year and focus all your wondeful efforts into making 2023 your best year yet!

Reality is now – I’ll say that one again – REALITY IS NOW – so do your best to truly live in the present moment, whilst holding a better future in your heart.

We all have something that we want to improve in our lives but please don’t make the chasing of these changes, make you unhappy in the present.

Each present moment is to be savoured and enjoyed, without bringing in hurtful pasts or desired futures. When you are mindful of the now, you get to embrace the specialness of life.

Life isn’t always rosey, we all know that! We have all felt the feelings of loss, hurt, disappointment, sadness, stress and everything in between on this roller coaster of life and it ain’t pretty. Don’t let your imagination be flooded with worry of something that has not happened yet and indeed may never happen. Instead, try to feel the real beauty and true meaning in those thankful moments that make us feel blessed and forever grateful to experience the magnificent wonders of the world.

You are one of those amazing wonders and I wish YOU a magical Christmas, successful 2023 and prayers of hope that you realise how truly special you are.

Be the Christmas Miracle.

Forever grateful for your presence, love Clarabelle

Shining Star

You are the magic

The midnight sky, is vast and black, yet stars appear and light comes back.

Keep on dancing your way through life and don’t let anyone dim your beautiful light.

Remember, you are the magic and it’s time to release your power.

There is challenge, there is change but most of all there is choice. May you choose to adopt the right daily habits that will serve you well and lead you to your dreams.

You truly are a shining star!

Clarabelle

Faking Happiness

Know what makes your heart sing.

You can’t fake true happiness, for real happiness exudes a different kind of energy from within and feels truly magical.

Faking happiness, although it might seem like a good idea to please others, will never match up to authentic happiness and will leave you feeling out of sync with who you really are.

In order for you to feel truly happy, you’ve got to know what makes your heart sing. What things do you like doing that makes your heart smile? Below are four of my favourite things that fall exactly into the wonderful “happiness” category:

  1. Giving to others and sharing kindness – I always get much more happiness giving to others than receiving and I know that will never change for me. I love to see other people happy, smiling and embracing joy.
  2. Creative writing – this brings me inner contentment and happiness – when I write I feel connnected to who I really am but it has to be for the benefit of others – or it doesn’t quite feel the same.
  3. Singing – I know I don’t sing enough and I really love singing and songwriting – both of these acts feel like magic to me and make me so happy. This is something I will do more of in 2023 – so watch this space!
  4. Spending time with my nieces and nephew – one of the greatest gifts of them all that gives complete joy and natural happiness.

So I invite you to welcome authentic happiness into your life today and every day so you can embrace the true joy of who you really are.

Light Up . . .

Your heart knows

Light up the world with your heart.

Your heart knows what’s good for you because it lights up so strongly with an everglowing abundant energy.

Do more of what makes you truly shine from within.

I see you.

Clarabelle

Live Your Best Life

I see you there, living the life of your dreams

Live Your Best Life

It’s easy to say these words, so easy but to truly live these words, well that indeed is another story.

If you’re currently not living your best life, think about what living your best life would look like for you.

Remember, the power is in you and if you really want it enough, then make a plan and do the work everyday that needs done to enable you to get there.

So, know where “there” is and hold that purposeful vision so strong, because when you hit some tough spots along the way, you’ll have full reason to keep charging forward.

So, wonderful you, what are you waiting for, get to work now and by this time next year, you’ll be so much closer to your desired results, or, better still, you’ll be there already.

I see you there, living the life of your dreams and I know you see it too.

Wings of Energy

Nature’s magic

The stunning beauty of nature, takes my breath away every single time.

This is not imagination, this is not a dream, these captivating moments surround us everyday.

It’s only when we really stop and look, we see it for what it truly is.

May you embody yourself in a few moments of stillness today and embrace the fullness of nature’s magic.

We are all truly blessed.

Thank you for being here, as always.

Love Clarabelle

Sunset amber
Glowing bright

A Heart That Gives….

Sharing with you today.

I woke up during the middle of the night the other day and this quote below appeared in my mind. I have no idea, where those lovely words came from but I know I just had to share it with you today.

“A heart that gives, is a heart that grows.”

Stay Strong

Move on up, inspire your mind

Hello wonderful you! It’s Youtube Tuesday and today’s original video poem is all about STAYING STRONG.

but stay strong,
find the inner strength to carry on.

You are loved,
have faith, believe,
you are special,
focus and achieve.

but many are ajar,
maximise your potential,
you’ll go really far.

The world is on your side,
so fill your heart with pride.
Move on up, inspire your mind,

you’re one of kind.

Equilibrium Upset?

Cherish your beautifully balanced equilibrium

When something or someone upsets your equilibrium, it’s important to reset your inner balance as soon as you can.

An off-balance internal system can throw out your whole day and keep you from moving forward.

Try to move on from the situation as quickly as possible or indeed “park it” until you’re ready to deal with it.

I know when my equilibrium is out of balance, I struggle to focus on the ‘job in hand’ and make any valuable progression.

Sometimes, all you need, is a well-deserved “time out” away from the person or situation, in order to give your body and head, space to think or perhaps – not to think!

To sit and dwell in an uncomfortable environment that upsets you even more, is absolutely not what we are trying to do here.

So next time you feel your harmonious field becoming disrupted, do your best to get away from that situation super fast.

You can deal with it, when you’re ready and not before then.

So cherish your beautifully balanced equilibrium and never give anyone or anything the power to knock it out of sync.

May your day be joyous and balanced.

Create ‘flow’ in your life

Hello wonderful you! It’s Youtube Tuesday and today’s original video poem is all about embracing your beautiful attitude of gratitude.

May today’s video remind you of everything you have to be thankful for.

Be Grateful for Life

Be Grateful for Life

Create ‘flow’ in your life,
let worries melt away,
yesterday has gone
but the learning can stay.

Tomorrow is not here,
live for today,
enjoy each precious moment,
in every way.

Be grateful for life,
the moon and the sun,
be grateful for your family
and everyone.

Smile at your neighbours
and the stranger on the street,
for your smile is contagious,
to all that you meet.

Happy is the heart,
that glows from within,
embrace life and love
and forever you’ll win.

Do the work.

Imagine what’s beyond your dreams – visualise it now!

Please don’t wait for dreams to happen for you, you’ve got to do the work day in and day out.

You may not feel like working towards your dreams everyday, but believe me, that’s how you will achieve them.

Keep on dreaming but keep on putting the work in daily.

You’ve got this my friend.

The Happier Side of Life

Life brings a roller coaster of changes that we are often not prepared for.

What do I know about what you’re going through right now? I have no idea if you’re feeling good or lying low but I do know that life brings a roller coaster of changes that we are often not prepared for.

We all have an emotional response to what’s going on around us and some of us are better at controlling that emotion or how we react to it.

There are so many different factors that determine how we respond to any given situation and I bet you, if you’re having a particularly bad day, you won’t respond the same way as you would, if you were having a good day.

Let’s keep it simple and say a bad day may equal a bad response and a good day may equal a good response. Therefore, if you want to respond better to challenging situations that come your way, it’s better to focus on the things that will help you have good day.

We can’t control other people and what they do but we can do as much as we can for ourselves to have a better kind of day.

Lately, I’ve been trying this out for myself and through my own daily efforts, I have managed to have more good days and good reponses than not so good ones. Below is a short list of some of the things I have been doing:

Reduced my intake of refined sugar. Although I really do love sweets, cakes, biscuits, chocolates and all that lovely stuff, I noticed it was having a detrimental effect on my mood. I certainly had more of a short fuse when sugared up to the max with these delicious fancies. By cutting these out of my diet for the last four months I have noticed a positive difference in my mindset and mood.

Cut out caffeine. Caffeine has always been a tricky one for me, I love to love it but hated the brain crash when the caffeine wore off. This, so called crash put me into a low and cranky mood and I didn’t like that one bit. So I decided, let’s cut this stuff out of my diet and see how it goes. I must say my mood has definitely uplifted and my energy levels are higher and more constant throughout the day.

Got myself back in the gym. I stopped the gym for about a year and I did notice the negative changes in my body because of it. So, I started going back to the gym 2-3 times per week and this also had a positive impact on my energy levels and mood.

Running. I love to run but again, like the gym, I stopped it for a while and I’ve got to say, I really missed my running. Running makes my whole body feel good and alive, so I make sure I run at least twice a week to get the full goodness from it.

Writing. I love writing on this blog and creating poems but I stopped for about four years and that wasn’t good for me – I was unhappy with not satisfying my creative side. So I started writing on this Clarabelle blog about five months ago and that makes me feel on top of the world.

Went on holiday. I hadn’t been on a proper holiday for a number of years and it was well overdue. This holiday really did refresh my body and mind and reminded me of how good it is to ‘getaway’ every now and again.

Positive Relationships. I started focussing on having more positive and meaningful relationships that fulfilled me and inspired me to be a better person and reach for my goals. The power of having these good relationships in your life are highly impactful and can be a real gamechanger in terms of your own love and happiness.

Sleep. One of the most important factors for me in having a better day is by getting a good night’s sleep for at least 8 hours every night. I love my sleep and never feel guilty about putting my head to rest and going for a well deserved nap. Give me a great night’s sleep and I’ll be on point the whole day through.

Water. Since I stopped the caffeine, I don’t drink fizzy soda drinks or anything like that anymore. I mainly stick to sparkling and still water and aim to drink about two litres of this beautiful stuff everyday.

Motivation. I love listening to a little bit of motivational talks everyday, it just keeps my head in the right space. Every morning I listen to “7 Good Minutes” on Spotify and it really does have a positive impact on my focus and mood throughout the day. I always say to myself, “if they can do it, I can do it” – it’s powerful stuff!

There are so many other factors that I could add to the above list, like being around family, going for walks in nature, being by the sea, watching a beautiful sunrise or sunset, doing more fun things and the list goes on.

It really all comes down to choosing to do those things everyday that will help you be a better you and ultimately have better days. I am sure most of us, if not all, would rather be around a positive, good energy person that handles most challenges well and chooses to live on the happier side of life.
