How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? – bing

blog series

I found a bunch of thought-provoking questions on the web today and I thought that they would make a great blog series as well, so here they are!

what age?

What age will we be if we didn’t care? What age will we be today, if appearance, wealth or reputation didn’t matter? What age would we choose if we could choose a new age? How old are we? How young can we be?

Daily Affirmation: Today I choose my age!

The Essence Of Being Present!

Leave a comment

So much of modern life is a feverish anticipation of future activity and excitement. We have to learn to step back from this into the freedom and possibility of the present. – Fr. Bede Griffiths

ok to anticipate

We anticipate and we dream; we are ever waiting for something to happen. It’s actually a great tendency because the place from where these anticipated moments arise is the same one from where hope and creativity emerge.

fully present

So it’s quite ok to dream and to anticipate as long as we do it with a whole heart, immersed in the experience, fully enjoying the moment as it unfolds. And that’s the trick to stay in the moment even when dreaming of the future!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM fully here and there.

How To Partner With God!

Leave a comment

9.26 He who offers to me with devotion only a leaf, or a flower, or a fruit, or even a little water, this I accept from that yearning soul, because with a pure heart it was offered with love.

9.27 Whatever you do, or eat, or give, or offer in adoration, let it be an offering to me; and whatever you suffer, suffer it for me. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 9)

our motive

God recognizes our motive. There’s nothing we can give him except for our recognition of his primacy and his deep involvement in our lives. So when we acknowledge him and want to express it; anything that we offer is more than acceptable. No need to fast, or suffer, nor will any bribing work! That’s because God knows us intimately. He comforts us when we’re afraid and even recognizes why we are superstitious. But we needn’t be afraid, God underscores it all!

seeking partnership

God seeks an active partnership with us. The way to approach the creator is to do so actively; even moment to moment. One purpose of life is to increase our awareness of ‘All That Is’; such awareness increases dramatically when we live in the moment. We can more easily live in the moment when we involve God in our daily events. This is a great way to live a holy and spiritual life! Being in partnership with God can be simple!

Daily Affirmation: Today I partner with the Creator!

Why We Must Stop, Drop & Roll!

Leave a comment

Learn to pause… or nothing worthwhile will catch up to you. – Doug King

fire!

We are people on the go! We wake up in a hurry, go to school/work in a hurry. We do this while breathing hard and fast, thinking quick thoughts and never stopping to smell the rose. Let’s Stop, Drop & Roll!

stop, drop and roll…

When there’s a fire everyone’s advised to Stop, Drop & Roll! We can do the same in daily life, because right now our rushing through the day has reached emergency proportions.

  1. Let’s stop. Center in the moment.
  2. Drop. Let’s sit down somewhere if possible.
  3. Roll. Enjoy the moment completely, roll in the hay, smell the roses!

When we do that we can more easily connect to Universal Currents, we can tap into our Center and be poised to live our Life Purpose!

Daily Affirmation: Today I pause and breathe in deeply.

How To Get Our Point Across…

Leave a comment

I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think. – Socrates

telling doesn’t work!

How many times do we argue, tell, inform, convince and even shout but no matter what, the other person never listens or appears to listen? Why is that? How can we get through to other folks? How can we make them listen and act?

make ‘em think

No one likes to be told. Everyone has an ego to protect and that appears to be the biggest challenge. Another factor is that we often don’t speak the others’ language. The language of their experience and outlook. If we can’t understand their perspective, their motives and goals we won’t be able to get through effectively. The way to get across is to ask thought provoking questions or use other means to allow for thinking to blossom. This exact technique works for self too; if we journal actively, think about stuff and ask important questions we can start to connect, to our deep self!

Also notice the book recommendation below Smile. ‘Parenting with Love & Logic’ techniques are universally applicable!

How Can Life Be An Exciting Adventure?

Leave a comment

We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it’s all about. – Joseph Campbell

the outer

We’re mostly focused on topics of ‘outer value’. We dwell on questions like: ‘How do others view me?’, ‘How can I get there?’, ‘How can I get ahead?’, ‘What’s in it for me?’ etc.

the inner

Being alive to ‘inner values’ is to be intensely present in the current moment while being aware of true goals. When we know our Life Purpose (true goals) and can flow through the day living in the moment then we’re on the right path! Along the path we’ll meet folks who are like-minded and find opportunities that’ll help us grow. Life then is an adventure, jump on!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I focus on what’s truly important.
