How To Increase Understanding…

To understand is to forgive, even oneself. Alexander Chase

understand

Do we understand why the person who irritates us acted in that fashion? Do we understand why we got irritated, what was it exactly? 

With deeper, below the surface understanding we can truly know another, their real motives. With careful observation we can also uncover our own tendencies and motives. We can then be forgiving towards one and all, including ourselves. Not being able to forgive is the biggest hurdle to living a spiritual and peaceful life!

affirmations

Today I AM listening and understanding. I watch and observe. I forgive and move-on. I AM happy.

Are We Irresponsible?

In a world of infinite possibilities, it is irresponsible to be pessimistic. author unknown

infinite

Sometimes, many times, things the way they happen, blow our minds away. Many things are possible that we can’t even imagine. Unlimited are the possibilities for things to improve and for conditions to change. Let’s not short-change the world and us by thinking small. Let’s just dream it and do it!

affirmations

Today I AM dreaming big and dreaming possibilities. Then I AM acting on such possibilities. The Universe is unlimited and so is my capacity!

How To Move Forward…

Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in. Leonard Cohen

perfect?

We’re not perfect. They’re not perfect. Our ideas aren’t. Our plans will never be perfect. Let’s do what we can today, let’s move forward, otherwise we’ll never get to where we want to go!

affirmations

Today I move forward! I AM not perfect and don’t need to be. I progress as I go along. Life works out great!

How To Smell A Rose!

Only that day dawns to which we are awake. Henry David Thoreau

awake?

It could be an entire day before we realize it’s gone! Does that happen to you?

We must become aware of ourselves as we pass through a unique day, that’s made up of unique moments and experiences. If we are constantly manufacturing thoughts about what’s going on with us or who’s doing what to us, then we won’t awaken to that day or moment.

The only way to smell the rose is to awaken fully to the rose (not thoughts/concepts about it) and experience it fully for what it is.

affirmations

Today I AM here. I AM present. I experience life as it is and not via my thoughts about life. I AM happy.

How To Help Others…

If you’re wanting to be of an advantage to others, be as tapped in, turned in, turned on as you can possibly be. Abraham

show up!

If we want to help others, we must show up strong! We can’t be weak and expect to impact others in a positive fashion.

affirmations

I AM strong for my loved ones today! I AM available to them and as loving as possible. Through my positive attitude I AM an advantage to everyone I touch!

Where Are We Headed?

The human race must become reconciled to a procession of changes, adjustments, and readjustments. Mankind is on the march toward a new and unrevealed planetary destiny.  – The Urantia Papers

change!

Change, lot’s of it, is here to stay! Let’s reconcile to it, keep the faith and hold steady. We’re part of history making moments…

affirmations

I AM ready for change. Change is in my blood and I welcome it. I stay in love and ready to serve…

Are We Creative?

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties. Erich Fromm

creative?

Don’t think you’re creative? Any thing that we do in our own unique way and is beautiful or good, whether it’s a piece of art or an artful way we converse or understand others, is being creative! Most of us, knowingly or unknowingly convince ourselves that we’re not creative, the truth is quite the opposite, give self some credit!

We can be more creative. Especially when we stay more in the moment (not overcome by the chatter inside the mind), playful and are not ruled by our biases and expectations. Our biases, expectations, assumptions and certainties about anything limits our creativity.

affirmations

Today I AM creative because I was born that way. I AM constantly creative because I AM open-minded and can flow in the moment. Great ideas come to me and I can easily make amazing connections between things. I AM getting more creative by the day!
