Love?

Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Franklin P. Jones

from where?

What does it mean to have love in your life? Love can come from near relatives including a life partner, it can come from other relatives and dear friends including pets, it surely comes from parents, it can come from non-physical sources such as God and even from deep inside you. Love is also ignitable via things (including nature) that are beautiful.

manifestation

To know what love is, one must practice it, feel it and give it away every day. If you don’t do that daily then something vital will be missing that day. Don’t let that happen to you. Experience it daily.

Daily Affirmation: I am love. I will be love, today.

Hoping For…

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.Epicurus

desire

Desire is a double-edged sword. It can lead us to what we truly need and will find fulfilling. Or it simply prolongs the torture, the torture of the never-ending quest to acquire. Are we hoping for what we already have? When you have a desire, pay attention, what deeper need are you trying to fulfill?

now

What we have now or what we are now, is the result of all our thoughts and work from the past. The present moment is all important, that’s all there is.

Be here, now. Enjoy.

Daily Affirmation: I am here, now. I have now, all I have dreamed of.

Certainty About God

Increasing happiness is always the experience of all who are certain about God.The Urantia Papers

ultimate safety

When you’re certain about God, then you’re certain about your ultimate safety in a creation that’s vouchsafed by a benevolent creator. From a long term perspective, you have nothing to be worried or concerned about.

time to focus on what’s real

When your worries diminish and you understand the futility of the rat race, then you’re free to:

  • Spend time on what will truly fulfill you, your Life Purpose
  • And things that count for the longer run, like people and relationships

Daily Affirmation: I am a child of God. God keeps me safe today and forever.

Do To Others, Do Unto Yourself

He that does good to another does good also to himself.Seneca

the fallacy

We sometimes live a fallacy that when we have a tiff with someone it’s ok to not make up and just break the chord. Actually not making up and clearing the air hurts us more. The resentment and the negativity does quite a number on us, physically, mentally and spiritually.

right action

The reverse is true of course. Any good that we do, to others, we do to ourselves. How you might ask? It’s in the vibrations we create, we generate positive vibrations when we do good, the same vibrations affect us too.

Daily Affirmation: Today I am good. In my goodness, I create positivity that impacts one and all.

Please go to this link: http://www.nexttopauthor.com/?aid=1150

And take a look at the book description and other info on this page. If you have the time please consider listening to the 3 minute video.

The contest is like American Idol, contestants make a pitch and then folks vote for them.

If you’d like to support this book idea, please vote for me! It will take some effort on your part because to enforce legitimate voting, each voter has to register, verify their email and only then does their vote count.

Your help is much appreciated. Please do suggest improvements to the general book subject, thank you!

Right Action

There is no power greater than right action in the present moment.Yoga Vasistha

right action

What is it? That which is optimum for right now, given all circumstances and antecedents. That which will produce the greatest good for you and all concerned.

present moment

Is the culmination of all that has occurred in the past and is the launching pad for what is yet to come. It’s right now, the most powerful moment of time there is. If we execute the right action in the current moment, only good things can come from it.

Daily Affirmation: I am present. I’m connected to the source of all good. I will act and do what’s right.

Do Your Own Thing

Listen to everything, forget much, correct little.Pope John XXIII

ears open

Daily life offers many treasures that we sometimes, actually often, overlook. We ignore beauty that surrounds us, we often fail to pay full attention to the person talking to us and we even ignore opportunities that come our way in the guise of trouble. Let’s keep our outlook broad and mind open, daily.

do your own thing

It’s your life, it’s the signature you decide to (de)sign on the fabric of life, don’t give up on this precious gift. We should take in all the feedback from the outside world, we should weigh it with what makes sense to our deep self, and we should do what we think is right. Here’s a test to judge what’s right. The path with more love in it, is the way.

Daily Affirmation: I am open to life fully today. I act in love.
