How To Partner With God

There is a small opening into the new day which closes the moment you begin your plans. What you can plan is too small for you to live.  – David Whyte

plans?

We’re supposed to build plans. But do they really help or do we sell our potential short by making them?

guided

We play safe and don’t truly understand our potential. Therefore we should always collaborate with divinity even making our own day or life plans. God is intimately present. Why not involve him? Why not partner with God?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM partnering with God!

Why ‘forever’ Is For Real…

Let no one disturb you, let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God.  – Thérèse of Lisieux

impermanence

What’s lasting in our lives? Everything appears to be passing. Our sense of individuality does appear to be a constant. Will it last?

god

We will last. That’s because we’re God’s offspring. There’s nothing except God. God is having an individual and unique experience in us and as us. Life is a big party, live it up!!

How To Empathize…

Empathy is full presence to what’s alive in the other person at this moment.  – John Cunningham

great advice

This is about the best advice I’ve come across when it comes to building better relationships with one and all!

Think about it, our full attention on the other person, totally connected to the very heart and soul of that individual. What would be the world-wide result if we all did this even once a day?

3 components

  • Full Presence: We’re listening and present at all levels.
  • What’s Alive: We seek that which is beautiful and magnificent in the other. Or that which is hurting.
  • This moment: It all occurs in the eternal Now.

Imagine the sheer power of this one exercise on all aspects of our lives!

Why Ask Questions?

It is better to know some of the questions rather than to know all the answers.  – James Thurber

another quote

"He that knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a fool. Shun him

He that knows not, and knows that he knows not is a pupil. Teach him.

He that knows, and knows not that he knows is asleep. Wake him.

He that knows, and knows that he knows is a teacher. Follow him."

– Attributed to :: Omar Khayam, 13th century philosopher

questions

When we’re lost does it not help to ask rather than to assume and act as though we know? Well it’s the same way in life. To seek and find answers to life’s most difficult and mysterious questions; we must ask. If we go about thinking we already know, that would be true, except limited to what we already know! Let’s think in questions! Refine these questions. Journal all questions. We grow when we do that.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM asking questions!

Where Are All The Answers?

New souls look to secrets, rites, and rituals. Advanced souls look to science, math, and evidence. And old souls look within. Look within.  – The Universe

superstitious?

It’s hard not to be superstitious. We think we’re responsible for us in this world. And not being in control we’re often afraid and unsure. What should we do?

look within

Better advice has never been given. Better advice has never been received. Look within…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM looking within!

How To Be More Creative…

The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have.  – John Locke

pop in

There are indeed thoughts that just ‘drop’ into our minds. The valuable ones are of the kind that help us find direction, provide positive motivation, ask us to connect with someone, remind us of an important chore or reveal that idea we were searching for!

source

Where do you think these thoughts come from? I have my own theory; however the way to increase the prevalence of these thoughts, is to have a still mind through out the day. A still mind is possible when we witness all happenings and catch ourselves from being caught in the usual maelstrom that is our thoughts!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still so that I can receive valuable thoughts…
