How To Find Peace…

Leave a comment

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.  – Mark Twain

thought jungle

By letting our mind rule us we cede our peace to an automaton. We own our mind, it’s not the other way around. We must assert control…

peace

Peace is within our reach when we can be relaxed and think only those thoughts that are essential. Which means we don’t let our mind go wild and instead direct it to do its job. It can be done, and it’s mostly a shift in perspective!

A Time To Fly…

Time is swift, it races by; Opportunities are born and die… Still you wait and will not try – A bird with wings who dares not rise and fly.  – A A Milne

time

When we breathe we use time. Time slips through our fingers like water but is also ever-present like air. We get older everyday but the present moment never fades. What’s our relationship with time?

fly

What does success means to us? We must know what it is to fly. We are birds. We should fly to soaring heights. What exhilaration and sights will we experience today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM flying!!

The Art Of Allowing…

If you cannot be a poet, be the poem. – David Carradine

creativity

Actually anyone can be a poet. Or an artist. It starts with first accepting that we are artists already and that it’s not the domain of a gifted few. Once we’re convinced of that then art will flow through us. Our artistic capability is directly proportional to our allowing ‘Source’ to flow through us…

the art of allowing

By allowing the art of the great Artist to flow through us we become his poem. That is the sole purpose of life.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM God’s work of art!

How To Live Life In Faith!

Leave a comment

Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly … all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.  – Pope John Paul II

fear

In some way or another we experience fear daily. It’s important to recognize when that occurs so that we can assert our faith in the goodness of the Universe and move through each day in confidence!

faith

There’s no deliverance from fear without faith. The entire creation nestles firmly on God’s palm. We’re safe in his love and care. He hears every leaf rustle and knows us intimately. Once we recognize his ever-presence, fear has no place in our lives.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM fearless because I know my place in the Universe!

Does It Bring Joy?

Leave a comment

We do not count the success of a life by its length; we count it by its joy.  – Abraham

joy!

The measure of joy in our lives is the only true yardstick for how successful we’re being in our lives. Do we have joy in our lives? Then that’s all that matters…

joy?

Does our job bring us joy? Do our relationships? No matter what we undertake we must ask this important question: Does its pursuit bring us joy? If we’re not creating joy within and outside us then we must reposition our efforts!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a creator of Joy!!

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.  – Marianne Williamson

joy

We’re responsible for our own joy. We should be living joyful lives, daily. What’s stopping us?

Why Be Thoughtful?

Leave a comment

Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christ-like, for His heart was meek and always thought of others.  – Mother Teresa

thoughtfulness

Life is about others. It’s not about us. For increasing happiness and greater fulfillment we must devote a large portion of our personal and work time to others. It’s the key to all goodness.
