How To Give Advice!

We would not spend any time trying to convince anybody of anything because if they’re not asking, your answers are just irritating. Abraham

telling

Here’s the bottom-line, people don’t like to be told anything. It’ll help our relationships if we hold this cardinal rule front and center. Only give advice when asked for it!

 

affirmations

Today I listen more than I tell. I only give advice when asked for it. I care for others and love them.

Why Love Is Hard Work!

Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new. Ursula K. Le Guin

hard work!

Maintaining relationships built on love is very hard work. If we want our family to stay together then we must work on that relationship diligently and daily. If we want to maintain faith in God and not suffer from fear and isolation, then we must maintain our prayer relationship with God on a daily basis. All love requires work and we must remember that!

affirmations

Today I AM willing to work to experience love in my relationships. I refuse to take any relationship for granted. I AM ready and loving!

How To Be Happier!

Your happiness grows in direct proportion to your acceptance and in inverse proportion to your expectations. Michael J. Fox

acceptance/expectations!

Wow isn’t that true? When we accept life as it is, flow with the river that is time, we experience an equanimity, we experience peace. We can still have ambitions and goals but we don’t tie self to the outcome that’s all. We understand that all life and its experiences have a purpose and we try to fathom that purpose. In addition, when we have no expectations of anyone else our life problems are solved! Doesn’t mean that we don’t tell others what bothers us, but we’re not hurt by what they say or do. How? By understanding their humanness and by knowing that we decide how we react, not they.

affirmations

Today I AM accepting life just as it is. I AM accepting everyone just as they are. I expect life to be great, that’s all, without being specific. I AM happy and I deserve to be!

A Perfect Gift?

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.  – George MacDonald

gift

Everyday living, slowly turns our thoughts and actions, harsh and selfish. That’s if we don’t tend our garden within, water it and nourish it. The way to nourish our inner life is by:

  1. Becoming aware of our thoughts as much as possible.
  2. Being aware of what we put into our minds, like the stuff we read and what we think.
  3. Allowing peace and love to sink in via meditation, prayer and Now time.
  4. And by consciously giving loving thoughts and crafting acts of love and service towards others.

It’s all about cultivating loving awareness and making it a gift to others…

affirmations

Today I AM love itself. I dwell in love and pay attention to others. I nourish my relationships with buckets full of love and care. And I listen…

We learn most from our learning partner. In most cases this learning partner is our life partner or spouse. We can’t really escape the lessons we’re here to learn…

How To Move On!

You actually don’t have to lie in it just because you made your bed.  – Neale Donald Walsch

move on

Sometimes we can get married to the past and the situation that we created. Let not our ego dictate where we might go from here. The first step is to become aware of what we’re doing to self. Next we simply decide to let go and move on. We free ourselves when we do that!

affirmations

I AM letting go today! I AM not tied to decisions or mistakes I made in the past. I AM seeking a fresh start and loving those who are around me. I AM happy and that’s my future!
