Every Day…

Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in every day. – From the blog ‘Positively Present’

challenges abound

Life was designed to be full of challenges. Apparently it helps us grow, for some future unknown purpose. Is there meaning or a grand purpose to life as we live it?

seize the good

To maintain our sanity and to keep plowing on, we have to pick the pleasant from that which isn’t; the good from the bad; the silver lining from the dark rainy clouds. We must focus on the present while applying learning from the past and planning just enough for the future.

Questions and Perspective…

Mark well three things, and thou wilt not fall into the clutches of sin. Know whence thou art come, whither thou art going, and before whom thou art destined to give an account and reckoning. – The Talmud

heading where?

Where is all this headed to? Where am I going with my life? What happens to all of us when we die? What will the coming decades on Earth be like?

purpose?

Why? Why is there suffering? How to find happiness? Why is life like this? What’s my life purpose? Why is there anything at all?

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!

It’s a Partnership!

Allow yourself to pray. It is not enough to want or to intend or to meditate. You must pray. You must talk. You must ask. You must believe. That is a partnership. – Gary Zukav

god is a person

The Universal Energy that created the ear, can it not hear? The Force that created emotions, cannot it not feel? The Energy that enabled us to have relationships, can it not have relationships itself?

build a partnership

If God is a person, we must talk to him. We ought to talk to him like we do with those we know intimately. We must trust that God hears and we must build a relationship. No formula, then, is necessary, just be natural.

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.
