How To Get A 2nd Chance!

Leave a comment

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.  – Viktor Frankl

just grab it

We can decide today, right now, that this is our very first day alive. Imagine that! A decision is all it takes. Then we can do all that we would have done if we had a 2nd chance to fix something. A positive intent is crucial when undertaking such an exercise!

perspective, change it

We live in a world of thoughts. We manufacture reality, much of it, all in our heads. We may author something quite different from our default. We can design the future we want by simply deciding to look at things differently. That’s our prerogative and we must employ it!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM trying on the ‘2nd Chance’ perspective!

What’s THE Secret To Happiness?

Leave a comment

Happiness is a state of being, and comes from the inside of you. By the law of attraction you must become on the inside what you want on the outside. – Rhonda Byrne

inside first

The thought creation must come first! The feeling that would normally accompany the manifestation of that thought must appear alongside the thought. If we want strawberry ice-cream we must imagine having that ice-cream, complete with the experience and the taste of the ice cream on our tongue, the more detail the better! Imagine the exact circumstances, the bowl, the color of the bowl, the ice-cream brand, the sweet cold aroma of fresh ice cream, the spoon used, the time of day, the exact setting etc… Because we’re fellow creators with the Creative Force the Universe is compelled to respond…

the real secret

The real secret isn’t about manifesting what we desire into our lives; even though the Law of Attraction does deliver, it’s about experiencing happiness. So the trick is to imagine the highest, which is happiness. So imagine and feel the happiness and the rest shall follow.

Better still imagine happiness for the whole world! Imagine being an instrument of God that does his will on this planet. When we desire everyone’s happiness we seek the highest for everyone collectively. That then is the real secret. Seeking God’s will for us as we become his instruments in our daily lives!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM, and we are, happy!

Why We Must Go Crazy…

Leave a comment

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.  – Roald Dahl

nonsense!

Let’s stop being uptight. Let’s loosen up! Let’s go a bit crazy, just like kids do, at least once in a while! Life is meant to have fun! Let’s do it!!

creativity

By going crazy we expand our horizons, we see things from a different perspective and we loosen things up a bit! We can more easily tap into our own wellspring of creativity. We’ll also release some stress. What’s stopping us??

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM craaazzzyyy!!!

Why Time Is Priceless…

Leave a comment

An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can’t buy that inch of time with an inch of gold. – Chinese Proverb

time

Each breath that we breathe uses time. Time is as precious as our breath. It allows us to be all that we can be. It enables self-expression in a billion different ways. It’s the palette that God uses to paint this ever unfolding and infinitely multifarious painting. Time can be deeply experienced in the eternal now.

value it

We must value this amazing resource. We don’t always have to fill it with stuff to do. Sometimes we can just sit and be. Time then becomes a means to approach reality. Let’s experience this mystery, in our own way, and make most of it!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM mindful of time!

What We Must Remember

Leave a comment

Feeling fearful? Be love-full instead. Want to be fearless? Then love-more… – NamasteNow!

the 2 motives

For everything that we do or desire there are only two motivations. One is fear, rather common. And the other is love, more desirable. We want a mate because we fear being alone. Or we want a life partner because we want to share our life with someone amazing. We look for a job because we’re fearful of our economic status or we want one so that we can pursue our passion. In essence it’s either a negative or a positive outlook.

choose love

It pays to notice what moves us. What’s the over-whelming motivation that drives us? If it’s not positive or based on ‘love’ then we can fine tune it. We can do it because it’s our mind, it’s not an entity in itself. We can choose loving motivations and thoughts. We can banish all semblance of fear by doing that…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM loving more…

What It Takes To Be Sane…

Leave a comment

They are sane who never feel persecuted, never feel left out and never feel hurt by anyone or anything.  – Vernon Howard

sanity?

To be sane takes a sane mind. A sane mind is peaceful and remains unaffected by others and circumstances. A sane mind is not serious. It’s playful. It loves to have fun. It’s also curious. It doesn’t get bored.

take it easy!

When we take our selves too seriously we will be hurt. When we put too much attention on us we think life is all about us. It’s little wonder that we get hurt. When we feel important we’re bound to feel left out. Instead let’s stop defending ourselves, let’s stop being aggressive in getting back at others. Let’s breathe deeply and take it easy. We’re good as is. Let the rest of the world fight imaginary emotional battles.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM taking it easy!
