Emotional Hurt

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind and has given up worrying once and for all.  – Ovid

what hurts you?

We carry a lot of emotional baggage. People and circumstances have hurt us. Actually they’ve not hurt us, we’ve allowed hurt to occur. Self-knowledge is key to uncovering such issues.

awareness & acceptance

Two ways out of it are awareness and forgiveness. Awareness of what actually happened and our part in the allowing the hurt. Forgiveness can be understood as acceptance. We accept how a certain person is, they are what they are, we let them be, we accept them for what they are and move on.

Daily Affirmation: Today I understand how I allow myself to hurt.

It’s Me Not Them…

Only when we learn to channel the energy we direct toward winning over others into winning over ourselves can we begin to develop our humanity. – Daisaku Ikeda

focus inwards

There’s a time and a season for everything, isn’t there? There’s a time to be outward looking, which is ideal when we’re giving or learning. We shouldn’t be looking elsewhere for approval or recognition. Then there’s time to be inward looking, reflective and thoughtful, finding and executing on opportunities to improve ourselves.

win over self

The biggest life quest is over self. It’s true understanding of our inclinations, motivations and failings. Then it’s a fine balance to improve ourselves without self-excoriation and without putting ourselves on a guilt trip. We must be patient with ourselves just like God is with us, her children.

Daily Affirmation: Today I win over self.

Quotes - 2010

Believe, You Must

Skywalker: "I don’t believe it".
Yoda: "That, is why you failed".

 

belief expands

Ok so why does believing first, work? When we believe, when we have faith, we expand our mind and its horizons. It’s like studying a map before venturing on a mountain adventure. We know in advance that a path exists or is possible and that does the trick. When possibility doesn’t exist in our minds, we often don’t see it even when staring at it.

growth and expansion

We grow only when we have faith and belief. The child when learning to walk will put her foot forward even though she has never walked or has already failed at previous attempts. Something inside her tells her, it’s possible… When something becomes possible in our mind, the Universe swings into action. It’s God’s purpose to further creation, through us, in our unique ways…

Daily Affirmation: Today I embrace possibilities.

Gita, Quotes - 2010

Confused Living

2.62 When a man dwells on the pleasures of sense, attraction for them arises in him. From attraction arises desire, the lust of possession, and this leads to passion, to anger.

2.63 From passion comes confusion of mind…

– The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2)

what do we seek?

Evenness of mind, steadiness of thought and pursuit of higher goals is what The Gita suggests for individuals. When we pursue material goals, our sole occupation often becomes such goals, such goals can never be satiated.

disappointment results

Instead we ought to figure out, what we truly need and want from our lives. If God exists, our ultimate goals must be spiritual in nature. What one high goal, spiritual in nature, can we set for ourselves today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I rebalance my priorities.

Thoughts R Us!

Tell me to what you pay attention, and I will tell you who you are.  – José Ortega y Gasset

our attention

We are creators of our own universe. The creation occurs through the vehicle of our thoughts, intentions, expectations and actions. Whatever we dwell upon, materializes in some fashion. It pays to pay attention to our attention.

TIE (thoughts, intentions, expectations) + Action

So the formula (TIE + Action = Creation), while hard to implement, is very simple in concept. Focus attention on that which we want. If we spend more time worrying, we fuel those vibrations to attract more of their kind. If we’re joyous and carefree, we’ll attract a life that’s filled with joy and a lack of things to worry about. Where are you putting your attention today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM creatively attentive!

Become The Goal!

Don’t just pursue your goal…inhabit it. Wear it, act it, live it, taste it! Get committed—take action! – Gary Ryan Blair

your goal

  • What’s on top of your mind? If it’s a concern or worry, drop it.
  • What do you truly want? If it’s utterly selfish, consider dropping it.
  • What were you designed to do and to be? Ponder that.

become it

Your goal, immediate or long term, brings meaning to life. Once you decide the meaning you’re going to give to your life, its time to jump into action. Action brings clarity and further direction… what are you waiting for??

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my goal!
