Love Is All We Need…

If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don’t have it, no matter what else there is… it’s not enough.Ann Landers

no brainer

Love is all we need. Knowing that a spouse, sibling, parent, our child, loves us… is simply enough to keep us going! We know why we toil. We do it for love.

what next?

Our concept of love must expand. Can we be examples of brotherly love to one and all? It’s a sure ticket to pure happiness and fulfillment. Try it and see!

Simplicity

The more simple we are, the more complete we become.Auguste Rodin

what is simplicity?

Simplicity is when we just are, our minds are not constantly racing and figuring things out. We accept people and situations at face value. We have few needs and are not shaken when things don’t happen as expected.

completeness

We are complete when life is simple. Why? Because we’re not running crazily after undefined goals. We’re happy with what we have and what we are. We know there are still destinations to reach and values to become; however each moment is replete, life is good and all is well.

On The Balcony!

When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.Albert Einstein

our worrisome lives

Seems like we flit about daily doing a thousand things while worrying about a million things! Why? Can we possibly slow down? How can we banish worry?

take the balcony view

When you’re on a balcony you can see more, you have a larger perspective and can act accordingly. That’s what’s needed for our own lives. When we just pause, when we consider the longer term, when we simply sit back and listen, we have a much better chance of figuring out the higher, more universal point of view.

Melt the Snow!

One kind word can warm three snowy peaks.Japanese proverb

a little goes a long way

A sincere smile, an acknowledgement via the eyes, a warm hand-shake, a heart-felt pat on the back and meaningful hug, can all go a long way to mend a relationship and to make a connection. Let’s be aware of the messages we send to others, in the way we use our body!

envision the future

Whenever disturbed, think of the future you’d rather have. Keeping that warm/fuzzy in mind, give your own self a smile, an acknowledgment or a hug. Know that you’re ok and are loved by a universal intelligence, just as you are.

Smile :-)

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.  – Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

our job

Is to be happy first, then enable happiness in others. Yes that’s our job on this planet. Often our happiness only results when making others happy. Ponder that.

our body language

Goes a long way in speaking to who we are and what we bring. A smile is a habiliment that can be most effective in informing others that we’re friendly. Being friendly makes us happy, as it does others.

The Magnet

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first…Yogananda

form a habit

Most of us think of us first. What if we formed a habit of thinking about others first? It needs to be a new habit; we’ll need new neural pathways that allow us to think in this fashion!

and expect not

Leave the rest to providence. Do for others because you want to, don’t expect the same from them. You’ll suffer otherwise.

It’s Right Here!

The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are.John Burroughs

running away?

Why is the grass always greener on the other side? Why do we always look for fun and excitement out there? What are we running away from? Pause to consider.

instead

What might be needed is a new pair of eyes, daily. We must figure out a way to renew our pledge to be learners, to be child-like, to feel wonder and excitement about what we have, about opportunities that abound us and for what is still possible.
