Why We Are Like Seeds…

Leave a comment

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.  – Oliver Wendell Holmes

seeds

We are like seeds. A seed comes with all that it needs to grow into a mighty oak. It dances with Nature to extract water/sunshine and provides life-giving fruit and shade. Let’s discover the seed that we are, deep inside. Once we make contact we’ll have the means to be rejuvenated and motivated like never before! We will grow like a strong oak and know self. We will then give to those around us, in ways no one else can.

affirmations

I AM a child of God. I AM a son of the Universe. Seeds of greatness, loveliness, creativity and goodness lie inside me. Today I water these seeds with the right thoughts and actions. I AM thrilled with my life. All is well!

What Did We Not Do?

Leave a comment

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for things we did not do that is inconsolable. – Sydney J. Harris

regret?

Other regrets come from ways we couldn’t be. And I think these regrets are worse. However if we find our Life Purpose and know how to be blissfully happy then any regret can be minimized. Regrets that we harbor cost us deeply. They stifle our growth and keep us from moving forward. This is also true of people (self included) or situations that we haven’t been able to forgive. Take this quote with a grain of salt! Understand that we must try and be all that we’re capable of and at the same time we don’t want regret to sully your life experience today! We have an eternity ahead of us to get it all done!

affirmations

Today I AM happy that eternity smiles at me. I have all the time I need to get it all done. I’ll have opportunities beyond my earthly life if some business is left unfinished. All wrongs and all regrets will be erased by time and by God. I rest easy and everything gets handled easily. Life has a great way of working out when I have the right attitude. My life is beautiful!

How To Deal With Irritating Folks!

Leave a comment

If some one irritates you, causes feelings of resentment, you should sympathetically seek to discern his viewpoint, his reasons for such objectionable conduct. If once you understand your neighbor, you will become tolerant, and this tolerance will grow into friendship and ripen into love.  – The Urantia Papers

peace among all

Understanding and love among all is the only way the planet will eventually find peace. How will such a thing happen? Not by God doing it for us or by some other magical means. It must be achieved little by little and one person at a time. It will only happen when you and I change. When such a change becomes apparent to our family and neighbors, they will wonder what it was that changed us! Then the virus of love and understanding can spread to them and eventually to all we touch, which is the entire planet! This is the prescription for love, peace and happiness that we all seek!

affirmations

Today I AM love. My interactions with everyone else are based on this love. I truly listen to all. I understand them and their situations. I AM slowing creating heaven out there by being peaceful and loving in here. I AM not judgmental, I understand that everyone’s walking their own path. I notice God’s handiwork in everyone’s life. I AM blessed!

Why Here, Now?

Leave a comment

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And Tomorrow is only a Vision;
But Today well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

– Kalidasa

here and now

This is it, today and now is all we have! We live our entire life, our existence, our dreams and sorrows; all during today.

We often spend time regretting the past or reliving it. We also spend time worrying about the future. While it’s good to learn from past mistakes and great to plan ahead, lets not miss out on the priceless opportunities that ‘Now’ has to offer. The ever present and eternal Now is where reality intersects with consciousness, which is the real YOU.

Be Here Now, Now Be Here. – Ram Dass

affirmations

I AM Now present, here. I inhabit Now and relish time as I experience it. Life itself flows through me and my experiences as I travel through time and space. I AM in a boat. The boat is constant within itself yet it flows down the river of time. The Lord of the Universe cradles me in his palm. The Mother looks after my every need. All is well in this eternal garden of Truth, Beauty and Goodness…

How To Handle Fear

Leave a comment

Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop.  – Krishnamurti

the ‘lovely’ cycle

The big life inhibitor is fear. When fear is present love cannot exist. When love isn’t present our connection to ‘that which underlies it all’ cannot exist. That creates a vicious cycle. The more we fear or focus on fear, the more fearful we become. Instead lets focus on creating the virtuous cycle of love:

It begins with our attitude toward ourselves and the world. We must accept ourselves; love our selves. That allows us to have a positive outlook toward others. Positive energy and circumstances begin to flow into our lives. This starts to build and sustain the ‘lovely’ cycle.

affirmations

Today I AM reigniting my faith in Goodness. I know I AM loved and because of that I like myself. I AM valuable just the way I AM. God created me for a reason. I embrace that reason, which is me. I love everyone in turn. Love is the currency of the Universe!

Where’s Home?

Leave a comment

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself. – Maya Angelou

homing device

We have a GPS built into us. It’s a homing device. It leads us home whenever we pay attention to the signal. We can be home no matter where we are physically. We can reach home no matter how we feel emotionally. Are we using this technology?

affirmations

Today I AM tuning in. I stay calm and peaceful. In this quietude I can hear the voice of Spirit guiding me gently forward. This “still, small voice” reveals to me how to show up in any situation. It advises me to be love and to be a servant of all. I AM blessed.

How We Think Matters…

Leave a comment

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. – William Shakespeare

our thoughts

A big root of all unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life is our judgmental way of looking at ourselves, others and the world around us. Which is why it pays to watch our thoughts as much as possible. Most times we lose ourselves in our thoughts. We become our thoughts. Become aware of the fact that we are experiencing our thoughts, we are not our thoughts. The latter is what we experience mostly.

As soon as we separate our conscious, witnessing mind from the constant chatter, we are able to tune into a timeless wisdom and peace. This experience expands in proportion to the time we spend in such moments, called Now.

affirmations

Today I AM the master of my thoughts. I create them, I choose them, I don’t let them run wild. I AM a designer of my thoughts and therefore my experiences. I know I AM a child of God and am responsible for all creation within my realm. I AM thankful for it all.
