How I Can Change You!

I haven’t the slightest idea how to change people, but I still keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out.  – David Sedaris

you change

We want to change others! Whenever we make an overt or covert attempt to do that, we ensure that the recipient of our advice clams up on us. If we want to be sure that our advice isn’t heard, we should give more of it!

i change

While it’s a cliché it’s forever true that we can only change self. When we’re successful at changing self we might then inspire others to change. It’s always all about us, it’s never about others.

Where Are We Looking?

To find that which we need, we must know where to look.  – Namaste Now!

where?

I was scrambling. I knew I was looking in all the right places but where did it go? No matter where I looked I just couldn’t find it!

waking up

And then I woke up. I was looking for my ‘precious’ phone and it was exactly where it was supposed to be. As I got out of bed a realization dawned. First, we must look for that which we need, not just for what we want. Second, we won’t find it unless we know where to look. Deep fulfillment can never be found in making more money or buying the next gadget. It’s found somewhere else. Where?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM looking for the Real!

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with.  – Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

lonely?

We all feel lonely at times. Often it’s because we can’t stand to be with self. We want to stay distracted by watching TV or playing on our phones.

treasure

Inside us is a veritable treasure. A treasure that will never get discovered if we keep running away from self. We must be still and like self enough to be with it. Then the doors to the vault start opening!

How To End Conflict

Conflict cannot survive without your participation.  – Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

conflict

Seldom is our mind at peace. We have conflicting thoughts, worry about our future or think about what’s not working in our relationships. How can we be at peace?

the tao

The Tao provides an answer. We can refuse to go along with our unsettling thoughts. We can decide not to participate. We can let go and be. We must be the masters of our own thoughts. There is no other way.

How To Be Free!

We first make our habits, then our habits make us.  – John Dryden

chained by habits

Habits are unconscious imperatives that run our lives. We live very habitually. Even the way we think is run by habits. Long held beliefs and assumptions are habits of the mind. We are not free.

freedom

Freedom comes from fresh thinking and living. Living that’s not hobbled by dead habits. Fresh living is when we live in the moment and perceive what’s actually going on. Our memory bank no longer runs our lives. We can then be free!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM perceiving things as they are.
