Thank you for the sun.

Before I start my day.
I think of all the good things…
That will come my way. – Chris Cade

What’s The Real Secret?

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

an inside job

The thought creation must come first! The feeling that would normally accompany the manifestation of that thought must appear alongside the thought. When we do that as fellow creators with Divinity 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 at one level 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 her will on this planet. When we desire everyone’s happiness we seek the highest for everyone collectively. That then is the highest secret. Seeking God’s will for us as we become instrumental in serving others!

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

How To Live Completely In The Moment

Leave a comment

It lives completely in the present, and perceives nothing more than what is at this moment. – Alan W. Watts

consciousness!

Our ‘primary consciousness’ only knows the present. Our mind generates thoughts about everything. That generation of thoughts takes us away from the primary moment which is now.

thoughts!

Our thoughts try to continually process what has already happened or try to predict what might happen. When we drop into fully experiencing what’s going on especially with our full mind, body and soul, thoughts disappear. The essential trick to being fully present is to be able to control the generation of thoughts…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM experiencing what’s going on!

Why Can’t We Be Happy Now?

Leave a comment

If to enjoy even an enjoyable present we must have the assurance of a happy future, we are “crying for the moon.”  – Alan W. Watts

future now

We can’t be happy now because we want our future to be happy. We dwell in that future. We lose now. We can’t truly be happy now because we’re ever anxious about our future.

no guarantees

We live in a world of constant change. Nothing about the future can be guaranteed. We’re incapable of knowing much about the future. Our only choice then, is to embrace now, be happy now, right now…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy, now…

Don’t Like Your Life?

Leave a comment

Step #1 for changing the entire world, is falling in love with it as it already is. Same for changing yourself. There’s no step #2.  – The Universe

circumstances

We all experience circumstances that are not ideal for us. Many of us hate our jobs. How can we improve things? How can our life be better?

love what is

Like begets like. So if we love everything about today then that ‘happiness’ vibration is repeated into future aspects of our lives. The real trick to a happier future is to be happy now!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy, period!

Why Perspective Matters…

Leave a comment

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

the small picture

We’re head-deep into maya, or what we may call the ‘small picture’. Our view and experience is extremely circumscribed. We’re boxed in by our culture, our country, our gender, our thoughts (assumptions/biases) and by matter itself. What’s the divine purpose behind this setup?

the big picture

Only by glimpsing the big picture can we hope to feel better about all that goes on in our lives and around the world. That glimpse is more easily caught when we believe in a Creator in whom we have faith. Faith and hope are the vehicles which can bring us peace in the current moment. Once we find that peace then healing (of any sort) can start to take place. And only then can we glimpse Life’s purpose…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM hopeful!
