What Did You Want To Be?

What did you want to be when you grew up?  – Internet

intention

Intention is the seed that eventually germinates to produce the tree in the shape of our dream. So we must keep dreaming. Have we ever had a deeply held intention that didn’t become real?

growing up

By the way, did we actually grow up? Some dreams shouldn’t be realized until we grow up. If they do then that leads to unsavory situations. Who knows maybe that was Life’s design?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM pondering intention and wisdom!

What’s The Path?

Don’t you see that the roads to Mecca are all different?Rumi

it’s spiritual

Life isn’t all that it appears to be. It’s not about being ‘successful’ as society defines it. Life has a spiritual underpinning. If we don’t consider the spiritual, we miss the big reason why the Universe and we exist.

the path

The stairway to heaven is different for everyone. If God wanted everyone to be perfect he would have made us so. If he wanted us to have all the answers we would have already had them. If God wanted us to follow a single path to increasing awareness and joy then it would be emblazoned across the sky. Blasphemous to many but just like we’re truly unique individuals, we must follow very different paths to Reality…

The Art Of Allowing…

You deserve your good thoughts about them. This is what the Art of Allowing is.  – Abraham

others

We spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about others and what we don’t like about them. When we hold negativities about others we suffer. And we don’t ‘allow’ them to be who they are.

the art of allowing

Intellectually we all understand why we must let others be. But we still can’t do it. We must let go in order for that to happen. We let go when we stop manufacturing justifications about why we don’t like them…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy about them and me!

How To Get A 2nd Chance!

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.  – Viktor Frankl

just grab it

We can decide today, right now, that this is our very first day alive. Imagine that! A decision is all it takes. Then we can do all that we would have done if we had a 2nd chance to fix something. A positive intent is crucial when undertaking such an exercise!

perspective, change it

We live in a world of thoughts. We manufacture reality, much of it, all in our heads. We may author something quite different from our default. We can design the future we want by simply deciding to look at things differently. That’s our prerogative and we must employ it!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM trying on the ‘2nd Chance’ perspective!

What’s THE Secret To Happiness?

Happiness is a state of being, and comes from the inside of you. By the law of attraction you must become on the inside what you want on the outside.Rhonda Byrne

inside first

The thought creation must come first! The feeling that would normally accompany the manifestation of that thought must appear alongside the thought. If we want strawberry ice-cream we must imagine having that ice-cream, complete with the experience and the taste of the ice cream on our tongue, the more detail the better! Imagine the exact circumstances, the bowl, the color of the bowl, the ice-cream brand, the sweet cold aroma of fresh ice cream, the spoon used, the time of day, the exact setting etc… Because we’re fellow creators with the Creative Force the Universe is compelled to respond…

the real secret

The real secret isn’t about manifesting what we desire into our lives; even though the Law of Attraction does deliver, it’s about experiencing happiness. So the trick is to imagine the highest, which is happiness. So imagine and feel the happiness and the rest shall follow.

Better still imagine happiness for the whole world! Imagine being an instrument of God that does his will on this planet. When we desire everyone’s happiness we seek the highest for everyone collectively. That then is the real secret. Seeking God’s will for us as we become his instruments in our daily lives!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM, and we are, happy!

Why You, Why Now?

Why you? …there’s no one better. Why now?…tomorrow isn’t soon enough.Donna Brazile

YOU

We are unique stamps on space and time. No one like us was ever born nor will ever appear. We shouldn’t be allowed to feel poorly about self. We come from on High. Rejoice!!

NOW

Never was a better time invented. It all coalesces into right now. This is it. It always was and it always will be, now. Let’s seize the moment!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM it and it is NOW!

Why We Must Go Crazy…

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.  – Roald Dahl

nonsense!

Let’s stop being uptight. Let’s loosen up! Let’s go a bit crazy, just like kids do, at least once in a while! Life is meant to have fun! Let’s do it!!

creativity

By going crazy we expand our horizons, we see things from a different perspective and we loosen things up a bit! We can more easily tap into our own wellspring of creativity. We’ll also release some stress. What’s stopping us??

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM craaazzzyyy!!!
