You can be an inspiration for someone who is experiencing difficulties by not lowering yourself to their sadness, but by lifting them up through the light of your joy.

You will always know if you are being the light of inspiration by how you feel. If you can maintain your good feelings, the light of your joy is shining and bright. The moment you begin to feel heavy or not good you will know that the negativity of the problem is affecting you, and you really must step away and restore yourself to feeling good.

You have nothing to give anyone unless the joy within you is radiating outward.

"Like a stone thrown into the water, thought produces ripples and waves which spread out over the great ocean of thought. There is this difference, however: the waves on the water move only on a level plane in all directions, whereas thought-waves move in all directions from a common center, just as do the rays from the sun." WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) Thought Vibration

What is it you really want? What is the outcome you want? Your job is to hold to the outcome of what you want, and to feel the outcome as though it is here now. That is your job. The HOW it will come about is the Universe's work. So many people trip up on this and try and work out the how. Here is a simple example. A person wants to go to an expensive college, and so they try to work out how they will get the money for college. But the outcome is to be at the college. The person must focus on being at that college - that is their work.
Focus on the outcome and allow the Universe to use its infinite ways to make it happen.

The Universe is completely and utterly in love with you. No matter how many mistakes you make, no matter where you are in your life, no matter what you think of you, the University loves you for all eternity.

When you are out of harmony with the law, you experience lack in your life, but that is just the experience you are creating. The Universe is continually giving, and so you must learn how to tune yourself with the harmony of the Universe. And the perfect melody is this: good thoughts, good words, and good actions.

Begin your day by feeling grateful. Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the refrigerator that keeps your food cold, the car that you drive, your job, your friends. Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities, services, and electrical appliances that make your life effortless. Be grateful for the magazines and the books that you read. Be grateful for the chair that you sit on, and the pavement that you walk on. Be grateful for the weather, the sun, the sky, the birds, the trees, the grass, the rain, and the flowers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

It is important to remember that you are vibrating a frequency every second. To change the outside circumstances and shift your life to a higher level, you must change the frequency on the inside of you. Thoughts of goodness, words of goodness, and deeds of goodness lift your frequency higher. The higher your frequency, the more good you bring to you.
