What Is Faith?

Leave a comment

Infinite patience produces immediate results.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

what?

We want things now. We want people to just understand us. We want everything taken care of ASAP. We are inherently impatient. We worry about our future and think that we must figure it all out. We lack faith.

faith

To have faith is to be patient. To trust in God is to have patience. When we can let go, when we breathe more deeply, when we believe then we’re practicing ‘infinite patience’. As soon as we adopt this posture, we can rest, we’re at peace. We can more easily access our intuition when we’re peaceful, trusting and patient. Let’s develop this muscle daily!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM infinitely patient…

Why It’s All Up To Us!!

Leave a comment

Do you not realize that the hope of a better nation — or a better world — is bound up in the progress and enlightenment of the individual?  – Jesus, The Urantia Papers

up to us

Let’s focus on us. We need to change. Unless we change nothing else changes. Let’s forget about fixing others or being angry at the world and the politicians. The time is ripe, the time is now!

how to change?

Self-knowledge, an increasing self-awareness is the only way. We all want a better life and a world safe for all. Let’s put our attention squarely on self and solicit divine guidance (which is ever present). Next steps become abundantly clear when we make the firm decision to change for the better, to be more loving and to be of service to others…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM changing for the better!

How To Find The Best Career!

Leave a comment

Make a "career" of living a happy life rather than trying to find work that will produce enough income that you can do things with your money that will then make you happy.  Abraham

backwards?

We have it backwards. We want to do something so that we can get what we want and then be happy. We forget it’s about the journey not the destination alone. Along the way we get miserable, resentful and unhappy especially when we’re not noticing these emotions in our lives… What to do?

find the joy

Many years ago Marsha Sinetar wrote an amazing book called Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow. The title is self-explanatory of course. Similarly we must be happy first. We must first find the joy in our lives. We must first be thankful for what we have. We then unleash the vibrations which will attract all else that we need to persist that same joy and happiness in our lives… Simple really, and it works!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM joyful first and foremost!

Why We Must Flow…

Leave a comment

Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices. Just follow it… It will take you… – Sheng-yen

not us alone

One big illusion that we all live is that we are entirely responsible for our lives. Not so, let’s take this burden off of our shoulders. Life becomes easier. God has a lot vested in us and she won’t let us be alone! It might not feel like we’re being constantly accompanied and guided, but it is so, the proof is in the pudding…

flow…

Life and time carry us along. Till we think it’s all up to us, we attempt to maneuver life too much. We thrash about. Instead all we have to do is let go. The intelligence and sentience that’s built into all of Life will guide us and look after us, all of us… Don’t worry be happy!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I let go, I flow!

Where’s The True North?

Leave a comment

A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never quite sure. – Lee Segall

the north?

How do we decide what’s right or wrong? On what basis do we make daily decisions? What makes us choose one fork on the road over another? What guides some of our momentous life decisions? How can we be more decisive? How can we think more clearly?

the north

We must discover a way, a mechanism, a philosophy or a means to help us think better. Guidelines might come from our ‘religion’, our society and family. Prayer, stillness and journaling are excellent ways to gain a deeper knowledge of self. Truly understanding what drives us, i.e. our values, is yet another way. It’s crucial that we understand what’s most important to us and why…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM aligned with my true north!

Why Slow And Steady Wins…

Leave a comment

I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.  – Abraham Lincoln

take it easy

We are all in a daily rush to get nowhere…

reflection

When we…

  • Take it easy
  • Breathe more deeply
  • Reflect more than we do things
  • Ponder instead of running to places

Then we get to the heart of life, we truly live in the moment and all our experiences become more meaningful. Let’s slow down…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM reflective and thoughtful…

How To Be The Greatest!

Leave a comment

He who would be greatest among you, let him become server of all. – Jesus, The Urantia Papers

forget the norm

Forget what society tells us, forget what we’ve been raised to believe, instead listen to what Spirit urges us to do…

Spiritual realities underscore our total existence. Our existence is like the visible spectrum of light. It’s such a tiny portion of the total light spectrum, which is like the Spirit world. Amazing things and much greater pursuits are in store for us once we’re done with this short but intense life experience on our planet.

follow the spirit

Deep inside us but also in the periphery of our thoughts sits the Spirit. It’s constantly looking to impress upon us these greater realities. It tries and sometimes succeeds. When we experience ‘peace beyond all understanding’ then we’re following the leading of the Spirit. Spirit always leads to greater service and love towards one and all!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a loving servant of all!
