Who’s The Truest Friend Of All?

Leave a comment

A friend-in-truth is one who does not expect you to behave better than your present consciousness allows. – Vernon Howard

understanding

Understanding where others come from, what drives them, what they believe and what’s most important to them is the greatest skill we can acquire! In the gift of understanding others lies our own happiness. Let’s become fully available to those who we rub shoulders with..

our gift

The most precious gift we can bestow is one of presence and understanding. When we understand the other, we can know that they too are a magnificent child of God and that they operate within the confines of their consciousness. This allows us to be fully accepting of them and such a genuine approach gives them greater permission to be who they are. The relationship can only deepen now which paves way for the unlimited growth of everyone involved…

How To Handle Change…

Leave a comment

Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.  – Karen Kaiser Clark

change…

‘Change is inevitable’ was the topic of a thought-provoking motivational program I viewed last night. What does this mean? How does change impact our personal and work lives? How should we approach change or in other words how should we approach Life itself?

acceptance

When we accept truth, we invite peace. There may not be peace at first but acceptance leads to a resting place from where clarity of mind emerges. With a clear mind we can assess the situation and take next steps as necessary. Once we accept the truth that ‘change is inevitable’ then we better understand that our current circumstances won’t last. When we expect change we can be less fearful. When we welcome change growth becomes possible.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM growing while changing!

Subject: Death is Not the End

Leave a comment

…death is only the beginning of an endless career of adventure, an everlasting life of anticipation, an eternal voyage of discovery.  – The Urantia Papers

death?

This morning (Tuesday, May 1st) my wife and I had the privilege to attend the funeral of our dear friends’ mom/mom-in-law. It was a somber event with hearty sprinkles of love and hope. Their ‘Mummy’ is a lovely soul who transferred a lot of joy to every life she touched. She has now taken residence beyond our plane of existence… We’ll miss her…

‘Subject: Death is Not the End’

We heard later that in the afternoon my friend had received an unexpected email from a publisher with the subject ‘Death is Not the End’!! That was a message from the other side, very heartening!! Thank you God!

There’s no end to our lives. It’s just a transition from one level of vibration to the next. There’s real meaning to our lives. Our lives continue, our relationships continue and the party goes on forever!! Let’s rejoice!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM joyous because I live forever…

What Is Faith?

Leave a comment

Infinite patience produces immediate results.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

what?

We want things now. We want people to just understand us. We want everything taken care of ASAP. We are inherently impatient. We worry about our future and think that we must figure it all out. We lack faith.

faith

To have faith is to be patient. To trust in God is to have patience. When we can let go, when we breathe more deeply, when we believe then we’re practicing ‘infinite patience’. As soon as we adopt this posture, we can rest, we’re at peace. We can more easily access our intuition when we’re peaceful, trusting and patient. Let’s develop this muscle daily!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM infinitely patient…

Why It’s All Up To Us!!

Leave a comment

Do you not realize that the hope of a better nation — or a better world — is bound up in the progress and enlightenment of the individual?  – Jesus, The Urantia Papers

up to us

Let’s focus on us. We need to change. Unless we change nothing else changes. Let’s forget about fixing others or being angry at the world and the politicians. The time is ripe, the time is now!

how to change?

Self-knowledge, an increasing self-awareness is the only way. We all want a better life and a world safe for all. Let’s put our attention squarely on self and solicit divine guidance (which is ever present). Next steps become abundantly clear when we make the firm decision to change for the better, to be more loving and to be of service to others…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM changing for the better!

How To Find The Best Career!

Leave a comment

Make a "career" of living a happy life rather than trying to find work that will produce enough income that you can do things with your money that will then make you happy.  Abraham

backwards?

We have it backwards. We want to do something so that we can get what we want and then be happy. We forget it’s about the journey not the destination alone. Along the way we get miserable, resentful and unhappy especially when we’re not noticing these emotions in our lives… What to do?

find the joy

Many years ago Marsha Sinetar wrote an amazing book called Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow. The title is self-explanatory of course. Similarly we must be happy first. We must first find the joy in our lives. We must first be thankful for what we have. We then unleash the vibrations which will attract all else that we need to persist that same joy and happiness in our lives… Simple really, and it works!!

Why We Must Flow…

Leave a comment

Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices. Just follow it… It will take you… – Sheng-yen

not us alone

One big illusion that we all live is that we are entirely responsible for our lives. Not so, let’s take this burden off of our shoulders. Life becomes easier. God has a lot vested in us and she won’t let us be alone! It might not feel like we’re being constantly accompanied and guided, but it is so, the proof is in the pudding…

flow…

Life and time carry us along. Till we think it’s all up to us, we attempt to maneuver life too much. We thrash about. Instead all we have to do is let go. The intelligence and sentience that’s built into all of Life will guide us and look after us, all of us… Don’t worry be happy!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I let go, I flow!
