Pray For Power!

Leave a comment

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks. – Phillips Brooks

pray for understanding

We are hard pressed to ever understand the big picture, the larger goal, the eternal purpose, so let’s pray for the ability to understand what’s going on. Pray to understand our role in how life unfolds for everyone we interact with.

pray for steadfastness

As we gain understanding, we ought to pray for the strength and resolve to continue. We should proceed with the intention and expectation that all will be well. Under the direction of such an intention, we must keep moving towards the North.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM resolute, I know I must plow on!

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. – Zig Ziglar

hard work

Life is hard work. We’re essentially a tabula rasa when we’re born. Everything that we do, makes us, every habit, every project, achievement, goal etc. We literally build our inner ‘soul’ through our persistence and hard work.

daily reminders

Because nothing much is free in life. We must remind ourselves daily to:

  • Pray: Connect with our spiritual source. Motivate ourselves.
  • Thank: Be thankful for all we have and are.
  • Love: Love all, including self.
  • Set Goals: Live life on purpose.
  • Exercise: Our mind, body and soul.

Daily Affirmation: Today I sharpen my saw. I focus on what’s important.

The New Religion

Leave a comment

Teacher, let’s you and I make a new religion, one good enough for India and big enough for Rome … – Ganid to Jesus (The Urantia Papers)

background

According to the Urantia Papers Jesus spent many months with a couple of visitors from India during his ministry around the middle-east, much before his crucifixion. Ganid the son of an Indian trader, got quite close to Jesus. It’s an account worth reading here!

the new religion

Here’s my take on the tenets of the ‘new religion’ that’s 2000 years old. It’s still ‘new’ because no large group of people has ever practiced it in its pure form. If we did, the world would change. It’s a religion that requires no earthly authority. It’s all between you and God.

  1. God is within you: Tap into that presence via meditation and prayer. Reflect on what this truly means. The God of this whole creation, resides within and shares your life with you! You are very valuable.
  2. God is within everyone else: Treat everyone accordingly. God is the common thread between all of us. That makes us all brothers and sisters. How can this truth guide us daily?
  3. Love is the answer: Relationships are of utmost importance. Anytime you don’t know what to do, ask ‘What will love do in this situation’? Anytime you don’t know how to be, be love. Focus on the right goals in life.

Daily Affirmation: Today I move in God’s presence, I see and acknowledge God in everyone.

Your Future Now

Leave a comment

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time. – Winston Churchill

your attention

According to one interpretation of quantum physics, you, just by paying attention to something or some event, affect it. Your attention and focus are very powerful tools in your arsenal. How do you use them?

right now

By paying full attention to all the life happening right now, you affect your entire future. This enables you to live a fully conscious life, not an accidental one. The current moment is most precious. How are you living it?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM creating my future. I pay attention to Now.

Self Importance

Leave a comment

You can do important work if you do not become self-important; you can do several things as easily as one if you leave yourself out. – The Urantia Papers

self

When we have a balanced concept of our own selves, we can handle life and its vicissitudes just fine. We know how to be happy or at least we know what to do to be happy. If we have low self-esteem, we wallow in self-pity and we tend to lash out and blame others. We aren’t happy with who we are and that colors our world-view.

getting in our own way

There’s another way we can get in our own way. It’s when our ego gets too big, we deem ourselves so important that the self becomes the end itself. We focus on our needs constantly, we do that to the detriment of everything else important to our lives. If we leave ourselves out of any situation or undertaking, we can be far more efficient.

Daily Affirmation: Today I focus on others and the job at hand.

Come To Be…

Leave a comment

To come to be you must have a vision of Being, a Dream, a Purpose, a Principle. You will become what your vision is. – Peter Nivio Zarlenga

your vision

  • Do you have a vision for yourself?
  • What does it look like and feel like?
  • Are you able to describe your vision in an elevator ride to a stranger?

your purpose

Purpose and vision are intertwined. Life purpose may come first, then you can create a vision and follow it. Else maybe a dream emerges first? That can lead to your vision and your life purpose.

  • What do you truly want?
  • What in life, are you aching for?
  • What’s deep inside your heart, seeking expression?
  • How long will you ignore it?

Daily Affirmation: Today I create my life through my vision & purpose.
