Why Enough Is Enough!!

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. – Corrie ten Boom

stop worry!

We’ve all been worrying too much and for too long! Worry saps us of our power to keep moving forward. It freezes us into our comfort zone. We lose our love for life and essentially stop living!

enough!

Enough is enough! Let’s breathe deeply in, stand up and throw off the shackles of worry that bind us. We are children of the Divine. That’s no small thing. Nothing of eternal import can ever hurt us, we are designed to create and flourish, forever! Nothing can stop us, especially if we go hand-in-glove with God. Let’s do this together, banish worry and declare freedom!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM free because I worry not!!

Why It’s Crucial To Be Open Minded!

The voice of wisdom is silent, except to the open mind. – Summum

answers

We seek answers to the many mysteries that we encounter through the course of our lives. If there’s intelligent design behind Life and the Universe, which appears to be the case, then it makes sense that divinity will have provided clues to why things are the way they are. How do we discover such clues?

an open mind

It takes an open mind. We all think that we’re open minded. In fact we know that we’re open minded! Is that really the case? Certainty of belief illustrates that we’re not open minded! How can we start to be more open minded?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM open to all possibilities!!

What Does Love Have To Do With Anything?

Every human thought, and every human action, is based in either love or fear. There is no other human motivation.  – Neale Donald Walsch

love or fear?

Think about it, every action or thought is motivated by either love or fear. If we cook something it’s either because we love cooking, love eating, love pleasing another being or fear another person, fear dying of hunger or some other minor fear. Let’s try this thought experiment with any thought we think next or action we contemplate; is the motivation love or fear?

love alone

So which emotion would we choose? Love of course. When we do that we align our whole self with the working of the Universal Intelligence. Synchronicity then occurs. Things just work out. We learn important lessons, with the right attitude of love, when things don’t quite work out. As we become more aware of our seemingly inconsequential motivations behind each thought or act, we realize how important it is to direct our life to flow with love. By doing this consistently we banish fear and eventually worry, out of our lives. We’re then free, totally safe, dynamic, creative and joyful children of the Universe!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM choosing love as my sole motivator!!

Why It’s All A Gift!

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

small picture

We’re head-deep into maya, or what we may call the ‘small picture’. Our view and experience is extremely circumscribed. We’re boxed in by our culture, our country, our gender, our thoughts (assumptions/biases) and by Life itself.

big picture

Only by glimpsing the big picture can we hope to feel better about all that goes on in our lives and around the world. That glimpse is more easily caught when we believe in an intelligence in whom we have faith. Faith and hope are the vehicles which can bring us peace in the current moment… Once we find that peace then healing (of any sort) can start to take place.

Dale Carnegie, Quotes - 2013

How To Deal With Trouble…

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence. – Og Mandino

blessed

Trouble hits us often. If it doesn’t we’re adept at creating some. We forever compare self to others and easily find ways to not be happy. What would happen if we spent more time dwelling on the positive, the true, the good and the beautiful? How would our lives change?

We must focus on the positive for two main reasons! It makes us feel good right now and it raises our vibrations so that we attract what’s best for us. Let’s remember to overwhelmingly underscore the value our unique selves bring to world. We are God’s offspring and are here for good. We never die and true happiness is our birthright.

How To Understand Life…

If you do not know how to explain life you need only relax and let True Life explain itself to you. – Vernon Howard

the big questions

Why do we exist? What is Life all about? What part do we play here? Where are we headed? How can we be happy? What’s the best way to live?

q & a

We ask and Life will respond. Any question asked earnestly and with humility will be answered if we’re patient and open minded. We shouldn’t come from the perspective that we know our way around and can figure everything out. A ‘know it all’ attitude keeps us from the Truth. We must be open enough to see what’s being revealed. And revealed it must be. We are the creator’s offspring and are born with innumerable privileges. We refuse to realize what we have. The trick is to ask and then observe…
