Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.  – Maya Angelou (her last tweet)

maya

Maya Angelou just passed into the next realm. God bless her. She was a spiritual being with a lot of great advice and example for all of us.

‘Tall and regal, with a deep, majestic voice, Angelou defied all probability and category, becoming one of the first black women to enjoy mainstream success as an author and thriving in virtually every artistic medium. The young single mother who performed at strip clubs to earn a living later wrote and recited the most popular presidential inaugural poem in history. The childhood victim of rape wrote a million-selling memoir, befriended Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela and the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and performed on stages around the world.’ – MSN News

How To Partner With God

Leave a comment

There is a small opening into the new day which closes the moment you begin your plans. What you can plan is too small for you to live.  – David Whyte

plans?

We’re supposed to build plans. But do they really help or do we sell our potential short by making them?

guided

We play safe and don’t truly understand our potential. Therefore we should always collaborate with divinity even making our own day or life plans. God is intimately present. Why not involve him? Why not partner with God?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM partnering with God!

Let no one disturb you, let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God.  – Thérèse of Lisieux

impermanence

What’s lasting in our lives? Everything appears to be passing. Our sense of individuality does appear to be a constant. Will it last?

How To Empathize…

Leave a comment

Empathy is full presence to what’s alive in the other person at this moment.  – John Cunningham

great advice

This is about the best advice I’ve come across when it comes to building better relationships with one and all!

Think about it, our full attention on the other person, totally connected to the very heart and soul of that individual. What would be the world-wide result if we all did this even once a day?

3 components

  • Full Presence: We’re listening and present at all levels.
  • What’s Alive: We seek that which is beautiful and magnificent in the other. Or that which is hurting.
  • This moment: It all occurs in the eternal Now.

Imagine the sheer power of this one exercise on all aspects of our lives!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM fully present to the other person…

Why Ask Questions?

Leave a comment

It is better to know some of the questions rather than to know all the answers.  – James Thurber

another quote

"He that knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a fool. Shun him

He that knows not, and knows that he knows not is a pupil. Teach him.

He that knows, and knows not that he knows is asleep. Wake him.

He that knows, and knows that he knows is a teacher. Follow him."

– Attributed to :: Omar Khayam, 13th century philosopher

questions

When we’re lost does it not help to ask rather than to assume and act as though we know? Well it’s the same way in life. To seek and find answers to life’s most difficult and mysterious questions; we must ask. If we go about thinking we already know, that would be true, except limited to what we already know! Let’s think in questions! Refine these questions. Journal all questions. We grow when we do that.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM asking questions!
