FEEL GREAT

Sometimes a simple quote, vid or photo, will uplift one's spirit, brighten one's day, or just remind one to be grateful for all the goodness in one's life, in the world, in this magnificent Universe. Therefore, I invite you to read on, watch, listen, learn and know that in my highest thoughts, heart, soul and every fibre of my being, I support and encourage us all in the fulfillment of our fondest desires.

-DOMINIQUE STARR"SHINE" PRESTON

My daily prayer:

My prayer is of gratitude and thankfulness for my perfect health: my ability to see,

hear, walk, talk, think, run, smell, taste, read, write; for my perfect wealth: my ability to

love, laugh, cry tears of joy, appreciate beauty, feel bliss, ectasy, joy, grace, glory, child-

like wonder and awe, splendor, create a fabulous life, world, reality for myself; for my

perfect life: the best shelter, the best food, the best clothing, the best transportation, the

best of everything. I give thanks for the best of everything for myself and all creation. I

bless my life, my health, my wealth, my finances; I bless all creation. I am grateful.

-StarrShine

This song deeply reflects my wish for all creation.

Thank you Rascal Flatts.

Om Shanti, StarrShine

In being given life, we are all granted the incredible gift of unlimited potential.

Not only is this fact no longer solely the possession of esoteric societies,

both science and religion are seemingly close to reaching a consensus re: same.

We all have the ability to create realities for ourselves

which elate us, inspire us, which yield daily dividends of joy.

I am grateful for the worldwide dissemination of this knowledge.

I also extend my gratitude to those who consistently remind us that

our ability to create joy for ourselves is not only very simply done,

it is never too late to do so. Namaste...

-StarrShine

"Sometimes your joy

is the source of your smile,

but sometimes your smile

can be the source of your joy."

-Thich Nhat Hanh

Smiling, a simple act, yes?

Yet, it is also a very powerful act of creation.

Thank you, Thich Nhat Hanh.

-StarrShine

What emotion can change the warp and weave,

the very shape, color and texture of one's life?

*******GRATITUDE********

Thank you Charles Haanel, Rhonda Byrne,

Oprah Winfrey, TI, (yes TI - I want this message to reach

across generations)...and the list goes on.

Gratitude Symbol

"Be thankful for what you have;

you'll end up having more.

If you concentrate on what you don't have,

you will never, ever have enough."
-Oprah Winfrey

"What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got

you know what I'm saying. Stop lookin' at what you aint got

and start being thankful for what you do got...Live Your LIfe!"

- TI

Might as well have fun with this gift,

our present. Don't you think?

Woooohoooo!!! I love my life!

-StarrShine

"...it takes just as much energy to be
miserable, so why not be happy?"
-Dustin Lindgren

Every day, without fail,
I set my intention to be cheerful and enthusiastic
as I go about my day.
-StarrShine

"If we are ever to enjoy life, NOW IS THE TIME -

not tomorrow, nor next year, nor in some future life

after we have died. The best preparation for a better

life next year is a full, complete, harmonious, joyous

life this year. Our beliefs in a rich future life are of little

importance unless we coin them into a rich present life.

Today should always be our most wonderful day."
-Thomas Dreier

Create your life one day at a time, using the concepts of quantum physics

and the power of your mind to alter and shape reality. Explore the dvd

"Ramtha: Create Your Day - An Invitation To Open Your Mind"
(An exquisitely simple, yet brilliantly done film-StarrShine)

Learned at the Ramtha School of Enlightenment

Dr. Dispenza gives us, yet again I must use the

word simple, formula to take charge of what we

experience daily. If you haven't watched the film

"What the Bleep Do We Know?", I highly recommend

you do so, at your earliest opportunity. My warmest

thanks to the creators of the "What the Bleep."

-StarrShine

"...you are a primary existence.

You are a distinct portion of the essence of God,

and contain a certain part of him in yourself.

Why then are you ignorant of your noble birth?..."
-Epicetus

Join nothing if you so choose,

but do be bedazzled by the wonder of us.

Thank you, Deepak.

-StarrShine

Go to Dr. Joe's website to see microphotography of

new connections happening in the brain. Awe-inspiring!

To learn more, check out Dr Joe's dvd "Your Immortal Brain,

Mastering the Art of Observation." I loved every minute of it

He completely breaks it down to the ground for the lay

person, much like my favorite Theoretical Quantum Physicist,

Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., aka Dr. Quantum. Thank you, Dr. Joe.

-StarrShine

"In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves.

The process never ends until we die.

And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility."

-Eleanor Roosevelt

On Consciousness

For years, I read every book I could get my hands on,

starting with Carlos Castaneda's superb work with Don Juan Mateas,

which delved into the matter of Consciousness. Dr. John Hagelin's

discourse which follows is the cleanest, most brilliant, theory I have

heard to date. Enjoy! - StarrShine

Can you wrap your head around this?

If so, are you as blown away as I am when

you feel your mind opening to the mysterious

grandeur of life? Booooooooooooooom!

-StarrShine

About Choices:

When I was a teenager, I heard of the discovery that the act of observation by

scientists affected the results of experiments. I clearly remember being awed by the

news and wondering what, if any, affect the news would have upon our daily life.

(I was also reading everything I could get my hands on written by Carlos Castaneda at the time.)

Today, we know this discovery correlates to the thoughts of what we desire to

experience, the choices we make in re: those desires, and the expectation

of those desires being fulfilled. Ergo, we receive that which we expect to receive.

Passivity regarding the choices we make in life is no longer an option for anyone

who desires to live a fulfilling life. Choose wisely.

And be aware that refusing to make a choice is still a choice.

"You gotta be big enough to be small enough

Lisa Nichols, Founder of Motivating the Teen Spirit, made a choice to follow her passion.

On Confidence and Courage

"Confidence comes not from always being
right but from not fearing to be wrong."
-Peter T. Mcintyre

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear,
but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he
who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
-Nelson Mandela

One of my heroes, thank you President Nelson Mandela.

Warren Macdonald is another shining example of the indominable spirit which resides in US, all of us, every living one of us. Ten months after losing both legs due to a climbing accident, Warren climbed Tasmania's Cradle Mountain using a modified wheelchair and the seat of his pants. A year later he became the first double above-knee amputee to climb Federation Peak in South West Tasmania, Australia, one of the wildest places on Earth. Watch his video, below; read his book, "One Step Beyond". And if you ever find yourself feeling sorry for what you perceive as the hand "Life" has dealt you, come back, watch his video again. Then look inside yourself and know, we are powerful beyond measure. Thank you, Warren.

I've heard the phrase"the sky is the limit," innumerable times in my life.

Even as a child this sentiment puzzled me. For setting the sky,

although vast and beautiful, as a limit, still sounded restrictive to me.

Why should there be ANY limit? I've never understood it. I have always

inherently known that there is NO LIMIT to what we can do. Haven't you?

"Anything is possible.
You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance
or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance,
but you have to believe, and you have to fight."
-Lance Armstrong

Regarding Our Genius

"I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know.
Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly."
-Buckminster Fuller

Thank you Max Planck, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr

Like Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, and Missy Elliott, to name a few, it is my supposition, my humble opinion, that Jay-Z is a musical genius.

Originally from Marcy Houses housing project in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City, Jay-Z is one of the most financially successful hip hop artists and entrepreneurs in America. (Wikipedia)

I daresay confidence and a firm belief in his unlimited potetinal played a huge part in propelling him from his materially humble beginnings to, as former President of Rocafella Records, Def Jam Records and current President of Roc Nation, the pinnacle of his profession. Equally as important as his financial and professional success, is his apparently genuous happiness with his life.

We are all extraordinary beings, with massive talent in at least one area.
I celebrate our genious and wish us all lives of clarity regarding our
particular talents, as well as lives of beauty, peace, love, light and laughter.
-Shanti, shanti, shanti...StarrShine

I believe we all have the ability to tap into
the knowledge of every genius who ever
graced this earth, as well as every one extant today.
-StarrShine

Thank you Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. DuBois, Langston Hughes,

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Lloyd Hall, Valerie Thomas, George Washington Carver,

Benjamin Banneker, Madam C.J. Walker, Garrett Morgan, Elijah McCoy, Charles Drew, George Carruthers, Paul Robeson, George Alcorn, Daniel Hale Williams, Thomas Mensah, Lewis Latimer, President Barack Obama...and the list goes on and on.

"If Heaven is a state of mind,

I choose to live in the Kingdom of Heaven now.

Climbing the stairway to heaven - yeah bebe :-)"

Regarding Kindness: I think the Dalai Lama's

concise statement says it all.

"Be kind whenever possible, it's always possible."

-Dalai Lama

In the spirit of Whoopi's above sentiments,

I found the following posted by my FB friend,

Josie L., who wanted to help shine some light

with Wilson Phillips' divine song "Hold On."

You rock, Josie!

"Whoever is feeling down..wish I could help

but here's a song you can listen to" :) -Josie L.

Hold on to that which sustains you, be it

your faith, your dreams, your goals
and remember that which doesn't kill
you, makes you stronger. Hit it Kanye!!!

This is one of my all time favorite quotes,

which surely speaks to how to "hold on" to

the ideal of creating a joyful life for oneself.

Until I read a biography about Satchel Paige,

I never knew whom to credit it. Now I do! :-)

"Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching."

-Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige

On not giving up, ever:


Stay open to being able to feel child-like wonder and awe,
to the limitless possibilities of goodness flowing into your life.
- StarrShine

"Always aim at complete harmony
of thought and word and deed.
Always aim at purifying your thoughts
and everything will be well."
-Mahatma (Mohandas Karamchand) Gandhi

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
-Helen Keller

Truly, I agree with Ms. Keller.
How many of us bemoan the memories
of what we once had, rather than looking ahead
at what we can still create, experience, enjoy?
And in trying, if we fail, so what?
Never, ever give up on yourself.
-StarrShine

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
The most certain way to succed
is always to try just one more time."
-Thomas Alva Edison

"I have failed many times, that is why I am a success."
-Michael Jordan

"Do the one thing you think you cannot do.
Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time.
The only people who never tumble
are those who never mount the high wire.
This is your moment. Own it."
-Oprah Winfrey


I love this being, Oprah Winfrey, for all the goodness
she has brought and continues to bring into the
lives of millions of her fellow brothers and sisters.
-StarrShine


And then there is Nick. Yet another shining example of
the beauty of remaining strong and grateful
for what we do have in our lives.
Thank you, Nick...StarrShine
