What Is True Responsibility?

With great responsibility, comes great power. The more you accept of the first – for your happiness, unhappiness, and all else – the more you are given of the latter. – The Universe

responsibility

The word ‘responsibility’ pretty much defines what we’re to do! We are to respond to life’s situations knowing fully well that we author and authorize our own happiness. We decide how we feel and react to any circumstance.

power

Real power is when we know how to be happy, truly happy, through our own choosing. It’s up to us. Let’s be the change we seek in others!

What To Expect?

If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail. – Heraclitus

getting surprised

The call of adventure, the mystery of the unknown, the scenic view around the next bend of the road, the birthday present wrapped in shiny paper, what would life be without pleasing surprises? How can we be surprised by life all the time?

in the moment

What would happen if we lived truly in the moment and not be straddled by the hurts or memories of the past nor worried about the future? What would be the result of a fearless expectation of the unexpected? A rich hope for that which may happen at any time? What if we expected amazing surprises every day of our lives? What kind of life would that be?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM expectant of the unexpected!

What Are We Doing About Love?

Who do you love? What are you doing about it? – Questions…

who do we love?

Let’s be very clear about this. Who do we love? Why? To what end? Why is this love important? When we love them what do we feel? What do we want to feel? To what extent have we expressed this love?

expression

Expression equals creation. Until we express something into reality, all we have are thoughts and emotions. It takes thoughts to kick off a creation, but express we must to complete the cycle! Let’s put into expression, in 2012, our love for all who are important in our lives. Can we pledge to that?

Daily Affirmation: Today I express my love!

What Do We Most Want To Feel?

If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to be so, not because they are rich. – Charles Wagner

seeking wealth?

We all seek wealth, success, recognition, a feeling of accomplishment and much more! What are we truly seeking? What is it that we want to feel? What has been most important to us in our lives?

the feeling

What we’re really seeking is the feeling we get from accomplishing or having the things that we seek. For example we seek wealth to feel important, to feel loved and/or to feel secure. It’s important to understand what is it that we seek to feel. Once we clarify that we’ll know what kinds of goals to set, how to use our core values to set such goals and therefore how to be happy and content as we move through life!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM content!

How To Move To Now!

Move away from the mental how to the spiritual now. – Guy Finley

mental how

We live constantly in our minds. We manufacture about 70,000 thoughts a day! When we’re thinking, we are not in the present moment.

spiritual now

By becoming aware of our thoughts, our breath, our body, our emotions and of what’s going on we can move into the spiritual now. It really is that simple. Takes practice of course. We must build the new muscle. We must breathe with full consciousness. We must understand the movement of thoughts. We ought to know how our emotions get triggered. And we must value being in the present!

Quotes - 2012

How The Self Flowers…

As surely as the beauty and fragrance of summer’s first rose waits in the silence of her still dormant seed, within me sleeps the eternal flowering of (what) I am. – Guy Finley

cultivate

Just like a physical garden we must cultivate and irrigate the inner patch. We do that by staying more in the present and by developing the stillness muscle. Just 5 minutes, twice a day allows us to connect to the center within. With regularity that connection grows stronger and stronger until it bleeds over into most of the day.

i am

A sense of peace emerges. We naturally fall in love with life and with everyone we meet. We now tend to see beyond self. We feel that there’s more than our selfish life. We want to know how to connect to a ‘noble cause’, we feel desirous of discovering our ‘life purpose’. We now understand that the ‘more’ that we’ve been seeking in the past is spiritual in nature and involves the well-being of society. Conscious life now truly begins.

Quotes - 2012

What’s The Ego?

The ego lives by comparisons. It cannot survive without judgment. – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

ego

It’s that part of us that makes life possible. It’s the practical aspect of self that allows us to make decisions daily. Its job is to preserve the self and it does so in a very mechanical and selfish manner. The ego compares and judges constantly. It does that to preserve self in relation to others. For the ego more is always better and being right is always preferable.

transcending ego

Knowing who the real master is, is to know how to transcend the ego. When we reflect or step back we’re allowing more than the ego to operate. Acknowledging that there’s a greater mind than ours, that greater things are afoot and that a master designer rules the foundational realms, is to know how to transcend the ego.

We decide, we choose our thoughts and therefore are we masters of our self and our ego!
