Life Is Beautiful!

The moment one gives a close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world unto itself.Henry Miller

pure attention

Pure attention is what it takes to truly live in the moment. Without attention we live a hypnotized life. One in which we’re constantly lost in our thoughts. What do we miss when we live completely inside our head?

pure beauty

Life is beautiful. And yes it’s in the eye of the beholder. Actually it’s in the consciousness of the beholder. If the beholder doesn’t behold, does the beauty still exist?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM empty in mind. I enjoy the wonders around me!

Your Word

Hold firmly to your word.Maimonides

promises

Promises that you make to others and yourself are important. They represent a creation that emerges from you. They reflect intention and thought. The words you speak to yourself, become your life programming. Often these words and promises are uttered by you even when you’re not fully conscious of them. So watch what you create, watch what words you use and watch carefully what you explicitly or implicitly promise others or self!

flexibility

Hold to your word but not to your own detriment. Stay flexible. As you become more aware of the words that you create and the self-programming that you allow to happen, become increasingly intentional about it. That way you’re aware of what you do to yourself, you’ll know where flexibility is necessary or where you must keep your word.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my word. I will watch what I feed myself.

Your Greatest Accomplishment

The greatest accomplishment began as a decision once made. – Michael Rawls

By Itself…

Who is there who can make muddy waters clear? But if allowed to remain still, it will gradually clear itself.Lao-tsu

let it be

The mind, when allowed to run amuck, can play quite a number on us. Controlling it is not super easy. Stillness helps, especially over time. During the day, even during your meditation, the technique that works best is: Just let it be. If some idea comes knocking at your order, refuse entry. If the idea forces itself in, let it do what it wants but don’t engage. Just let it be. Eventually it’ll get the message and let you be. Peace results.

affects everything else

Once you have peace and can perceive reality, everything else is positively affected. You can see things and face reality squarely. If you erred in your interaction with another person, you’ll know it. You can make better decisions, better relationships and maintain the joy which results from the peace.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM letting go. I flow with life.

Pray For Power!

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks.Phillips Brooks

pray for understanding

We are hard pressed to ever understand the big picture, the larger goal, the eternal purpose, so let’s pray for the ability to understand what’s going on. Pray to understand our role in how life unfolds for everyone we interact with.

pray for steadfastness

As we gain understanding, we ought to pray for the strength and resolve to continue. We should proceed with the intention and expectation that all will be well. Under the direction of such an intention, we must keep moving towards the North.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM resolute, I know I must plow on!

Bathe Daily!

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. Zig Ziglar

hard work

Life is hard work. We’re essentially a tabula rasa when we’re born. Everything that we do, makes us, every habit, every project, achievement, goal etc. We literally build our inner ‘soul’ through our persistence and hard work.

daily reminders

Because nothing much is free in life. We must remind ourselves daily to:

  • Pray: Connect with our spiritual source. Motivate ourselves.
  • Thank: Be thankful for all we have and are.
  • Love: Love all, including self.
  • Set Goals: Live life on purpose.
  • Exercise: Our mind, body and soul.

Daily Affirmation: Today I sharpen my saw. I focus on what’s important.
