Quotes - 2010

Learning From The Unpleasant

I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers. – Kahlil Gibran

our perspective

Same here, I’m too am ungrateful for these learning opportunities and great teachers who pop in appropriately into our lives! What keeps us from having the right perspective?

defending the ego

It’s because we’re always in defensive mode. We want to convince others of our wisdom and smartness. We can’t stand not being right. If someone is being unkind or intolerant, they must be wrong.

The Universe and Life are not against us. This is a grand drama with amazing purposes, quite unknown to us, that’s being played out. It doesn’t serve us to have the wrong attitude. We ought to be humble and learn from what Life arranges for us!

Secrets To Great Relationships

Let people live in your heart. – Toshiro Kanamori

operate from the heart

The best way to great relationships is to allow everyone to live in your heart. That’s where true understanding and love live.

the 2 secrets

The other secret to great relationships is to always address the spirit/soul inside each human. When you address the ‘highest’ in others you often get the highest back!

Whenever conferring with another, either face to face or across the miles, whether a human being, departed spirit, or sentient tree, always speak to the highest within them. – The Universe

You Never Die

I want to go on living even after my death,
And therefore I am grateful to God
For giving this gift…
Of expressing all that is in me. – Ann Frank

you’ll be forever

That’s Eternity’s promise to you. What do you make of it? How would life change?

the goal

A corollary to living forever is that everyone around you is also precious. Imagine living, without fear… of any kind. That’s the goal. To live fearlessly, loving others, expressing the Universe in all our ways.

Reacting To Negativity

From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. – Anais Nin

stuff happens

Negativity abounds, sometimes we feel that untoward incidents are becoming a norm in our lives. What’s the best way to react? How can we be in control instead of letting incidents control us?

create instead

The very act of pausing, thinking twice and then choosing a higher response is creativity in action! When you pause, pray for guidance and direction. You have the power to design your response, exercise this prerogative!

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!

Quotes - 2010

Where do you look?

What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others. – Kung-fu-tse (Confucius)

chutzpah

We most often have the attitude that essentially we know the answer. We know what makes us happy, we know what to do with our relationships and we know how to figure things out. This is despite many of us having a low self-esteem. Why is that?

humility

Humility will work better. Be curious about life, don’t be a know-it-all. Ask questions instead. And know that you have an inner-guidance system that will guide you unerringly, if you only listen. Guided from within, with an attitude of humility stay curious about everything outside you. Your happiness is not to be found where the grass is greener.
