How To Paint Life…

Leave a comment

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.  – Randy Pausch

what is

The real power to move forward comes from first accepting what is. When we’re ok with what is, we’re free to look ahead and design our future.

attitude

Our attitude determines how we feel and therefore what we can accomplish. It’s forever true that ‘Attitude is the mind’s paintbrush, it can color any situation’. How will we ‘play’ the hand we’ve been dealt today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM childlike in my attitude!

Where Does Boredom Come From?

Leave a comment

Boredom is a sign that your heart is about to be exposed. – Contemplative Photography

run away

We run away from self. We want to constantly be on our smart-phones, on Facebook, email or online. What are we running away from? Boredom is our excuse to keep running away from self.

be

What would happen if we just sat and faced deeply what’s attempting to emerge from inside us? What if we allowed our self to get bored? What would result from such an experiment?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM refusing to get bored!

Four Words That Can Transform Our Lives!

Leave a comment

True goodness is like water in that it blesses everything and harms nothing. And like water, true goodness seeks the lowest places, even those levels which others avoid…  – Read The Urantia Papers

how can I help?

The other day a friend shared this amazing article: ‘Three Words That Will Transform Your Career’. The concept is very simple and a Universal Truth. We become successful in our lives to the degree that we’re useful to others.

true goodness

We can be supremely happy when we’re truly good. ‘True goodness’ comes from becoming cognizant of God’s wishes for his creation. That’s only possible when we’re like water itself. Purifying and blessing all in our path and hurting no one. Like water we shouldn’t care if we do the most menial chore for the ‘lowest’ or poorest person. Our life motivation should be to help others be happier. That’s true goodness.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM being truly good!

Where Peace Abounds…

Leave a comment

Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.  – Rumi (the untold story)

our mind

Where is our mind right now? Is it exhausting on the worries of daily life? Is it being scattered by the routine that runs us?

still

Beauty and love abound. It’s the very undercurrent of all that is. This magical world is cleverly hidden under the hubbub of the mind and this world. It emerges just as soon as the mind becomes more still. It’s us who fail to notice and enjoy the ever-present peace underneath it all…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still…

Do This To Make Life Flow!

Leave a comment

All you have to do is know where you’re going. The answers will come to you of their own accord. – Earl Nightingale

where?

As children of God we’re meant to make decisions. No decision is truly wrong. We should decide where we’re headed and soon as we do that the Universe goes into action!

flow!

Now all we have to do is stay open to clues which the Universe will start providing. The ‘answers’ do indeed come our way. We can simply flow in time and without anxiety. Life is good…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM deciding to flow with life!

Why We Must Trust First!

Leave a comment

The more you trust folks, the less they let you down! – Notes from the Universe

attitude

It’s all about our attitude. That’s what the Universe and its energies respond to! What we believe is delivered to us. It’s not what we say we believe. It’s what we demonstrate by our thoughts, assumptions and actions that constitutes what we truly believe. In other words the Universe will call our bluff, we can’t fool it. We must be what we say we are…

be

If we trust first then trusting relationships show up. If we dis-trust then the universal mechanism responds to make that a reality. If we believe that it all works out, it does all work out in our lives. We must love first to experience love in our lives. We must be first what we desire.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM trusting and loving, first!

How To Change What-Is…

Leave a comment

Offer a vibration that matches your desire rather than offering a vibration that keeps matching what-is.

  – Abraham

what is

Often we’re not happy with what is. Our relationships are in a mess, the health is off and things are just not right. How can we change the status-quo? The wise admonish us to be happy now, but how?

gratitude

There’s only one guaranteed way of getting there. And that is to acknowledge the biggest and the smallest things that are working for us, right now! Let’s express gratitude for everything from our eye-sight, the beautiful sunshine to the relationships that are working. Let’s be continuously thankful and experience our ‘vibration’ change, and that’s an end in itself…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM joyous about what’s working!
