The Present…

You often overlook the choicest things in life because they’re so easy to obtain – the sunrise and the sunset, the starry host on a clear night, the taste of fresh clean air, the sight and smell of flowers and trees, and the fresh rain on your face.Emmet Fox

want more

It’s easy to overlook the lovely things in and around us, because we always want more of something else. We want more because nothing truly satisfies us. We search for an elusive something, that which will eventually quench our thirst for wanting more and more. That something can be found and experienced.

receive what’s here

Let’s notice all that abounds us, the lovely family, the great health and enough material comforts to last a lifetime. Being gratified with what we have is one key to greater fulfillment now and later.

Secrets of the Universe!

Go out of your way to make others happy … to those souls who cross your path, give kindness and love.Yogananda

look beyond things

We’re taught that to know the Universe we must study the places, animals and things of the Universe. If God (Universal Intelligence) created all things including humans and did so with a grand design in mind; Wouldn’t getting to know other humans be the ultimate way to understand God’s mind and therefore the Universe?

love people (it’s also our life purpose)

Love is the currency of the Universe and the only way to get to know others is to understand their motivations. To do that we must relate to them at the deepest levels, something that can only be done in love and with love. That’s the secret to discovering the ultimate secrets of the Universe … understand humans, through love, to understand God, the master creator!

This Is It…

Breathe a prayer of gratitude. And give those you love an extra measure of affection. Life is fleeting and love is precious. Cherish both.Galen Guengerich

life is fleeting

Benjamin Zander relates a touching story in this video (must watch!). An elder sister in a train escaping Nazi Germany gets really mad at her brother when he announces that he can’t find his shoes. Unfortunately that’s the last conversation they ever have. The sister later pledges that she’ll never ever utter another sentence to anyone if she knows it can’t be the last thing she’ll ever say to that person! Imagine her anguish. Life is fleeting…

regret not later

Let’s make the most of the lovely people around us. Let’s appreciate them, love them, touch them, hug them, serve them, kiss them and let’s never say anything to them that we would regret later.

Truth Triumphs…

Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can’t murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that … let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe … the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.Martin Luther King Jr

don’t be violent with your own-self

Thoughts of resentment, dislike, revenge and the like, only hurt the one who manufactures them. The more you dwell on such thoughts, the more you hurt yourself.

faith in justice

Truth will triumph. Mend your mind and you mend your whole life! Be the loving and thoughtful gardener of the fertile soil that is your self. The first step is to forgive the perpetrator and then yourself. Now, know, that all will work out great eventually, keep the faith.

An Incomparable Jewel

When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.Jesus, Gospel of Thomas

you are what you know

What you know yourself to be is what you’ll believe and practice. Carefully examine and question all assumptions that you make about life and yourself. Are these assumptions serving you well?

child of God

You are a creation. A unique and incomparable jewel in the eye of the First Source and Center of All That Is. You’re indestructible, a pioneer, a traveler and a co-creator in this grand drama that unfolds around us. Claim your heritage and march forth in full confidence, the path unfolds as you walk boldly forward.

Allow The Energy…

I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.Oprah Winfrey

your personal calling

What do you do naturally and joyfully, which when you do it, adds energy to your being and to the people around you? That is your personal calling. You will thrive when you undertake it.

serve others

Hard work plus a focus on serving others are also important components. Without them you won’t be supporting the Universal purpose. Allow the Universal purpose to be expressed through your being!

The Power Of Curiosity

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.Ivy Baker Priest

expand your awareness

Why are we so one dimensional? We tend to see the world primarily through the narrow vision of our own being and experiences…

How does this limit us when…

  • Learning new ideas?
  • Relating with people?
  • Or understanding the world?

borrow someone’s shoes

How is it to think like another, see life like they do, interpret life like they would? What happens when we get into someone else’s shoes? I know I’m asking a lot of questions in this blog, but that’s the idea!
