How We Hurt Self!

Realize that defense of your wrong position is defeat for your life.Vernon Howard

self-defeating

Our ego gets in the way. Often! Our instinctive reaction is to defend everything about us and what we say. This is actually a self-defeating habit. I’m a prime example of this proclivity in action! You might be too.

truth

Truth serves us best! We must be transparently truthful with our own selves. Defending what is indefensible makes us weaker. We get stronger the more we master self!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM more accepting of my faults and still feel good!!

How To Get It…

Remember to be aware in this moment right now.  – Rhonda Byrne

lost in thoughts

Chances are that right now we’re lost in our thoughts. This is a pattern we repeat all day long. What’s the result?

The Moment That Can Change Everything!

The Moment we’ve been waiting for just arrived!  – Namaste Now!

the moment

All our previous moments have led us to this one. Now. This really has been the moment we’ve always anticipated. Our future has arrived. What will we do with it?

In my blog yesterday I set high expectations for today’s quote. That’s what we do daily when we anticipate something in the future. Does it help or does it hurt? How can we be fully present to the most amazing moment of all time?

tough and lovely

We might be facing a tough moment. In which case let’s embrace it fully and experience it for what it is. Then let’s look around and inside us to affirm all that’s good and is working. Let’s be grateful for what this difficult moment will eventually blossom into…

If it’s a lovely moment we’re experiencing then let’s ask self: what is it that makes it lovely?

If we’re indifferent about this moment then how can we make this and every moment glorious?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM making the most of the most anticipated and amazing moment of all time!!

What Life Is All About…

Be led by joy. That’s the whole point.  – Mike Dooley

joy

We seek joy. We must be that which we seek. How can we be joy? How can we find joy in all that we do? Shouldn’t joy be our main goal?

create it

Joy comes from the meaning we give to life and its events. Why do we feel joy when we first receive the object of our desire? Why does the joy go away over time? Why does accomplishment instill joy within us? We should investigate these ideas at some length.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM joyous!

What We Must Do!

I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.  – Rita Mae Brown

not working

Life isn’t working when we spend any time being fearful, jealous, worried or hateful. Life must be challenging if we’re to grow, but it cannot be a drag, it must not be a chore!

enjoy!

God created everything. God jumped right into her creation. She and her creation are one. We are her progeny. We hail from a mighty ancestry. We are not puny. We have greatness built right into us. We cannot lose another day of our precious lives by not enjoying it. We must enjoy each day, each moment, each human interaction. Our time on this planet is limited…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM enjoying life!!

Why The Soul Must Come First!

Do not take thought for your persons or your properties, but first and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul.  – Socrates

soul

The soul (or spirit) comes first. The soul has a body, the body doesn’t have a soul. We’re so accustomed to thinking that we have a soul. Apparently it’s the other way around! That turns a few things around doesn’t it?

our job

Our job is to figure out our relationship to this soul that resides within us. The soul that has us! We must devote a significant part of our life to that end. We’re certainly not doing that right now. And it’s evidenced by the current state of world-wide affairs. Let’s attempt to become more soul sensitive…
