Why We Must ‘Act’!

You are quite capable of reacting in a happy and healthy manner to everything that happens to you.Vernon Howard

react

We are creatures of habit, so we almost always react to most life situations. Especially as they relate to folks near and dear to us. Why is that?

act!

It’s funny, if we breakdown the word re-act, it connotes a meaning quite opposite of how it’s used [a thought-provoking sidebar]! Let’s act while being fully present and conscious of what we’re doing. That way we’ll design a far superior outcome than the most likely one!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM designing life events!

How To Create Light…

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.  – Proverb

negative?

The problem with complaining and negativity is simple. It forces us to spend time at the level of the problem, at a lower frequency and often leaves us feeling sorry for our selves. Let’s seek the light instead, heck let’s create some!

create light

How can we create light in any given situation? Lets become aware of what we’re thinking about the situation. If our analysis is turning negative, we should note how the thinking is affecting us in the moment. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t analyze and critique when necessary. Lets ensure that the thought spiral isn’t taking us down with it. Instead we can bring ‘light’ to the situation or person by reminding ourselves that thoughts matter. We control the vibrations we dwell in… Let’s step back and view (shine a light) from a ‘higher’ vantage point.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM creating light!

Why We Should Listen…

Learn to listen, and reality will show you…  – Vernon Howard

listen?

How much do we truly listen? Forget listening to others, how much do we listen to nature and to reality around us? How quiet can our minds become?

stillness

Stillness is the fertile ground upon which deep listening can be based. When our minds are calm and collected we’ll hear the lightest whispers and sense the deepest colors. We’ll be connected to ‘All That Is’ and in that eternal moment we’ll be at peace.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM listening and at peace…

Why We’re Never Far…

…the door is wide and open, don’t go back to sleep…  – Rumi (the untold story)

strangers

We’re strangers in our own home. We’re so near the nectar yet we either don’t look for it or don’t know where to alight.

lost in thoughts

Let’s not be worried about the future nor sad about what could have been. Life is happening right now. If we get too lost in our thoughts we’ll pass by the door that’s ‘wide and open’…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM entering the temple inside me!

How To Eliminate Fear…

Where love is, fear cannot be…NamasteNow!

fear

A friend shared the following via Whatsapp the other day: ‘Life begins where fear ends’. In the ensuing discussion I asked him: ‘how does one end fear’? That has to be one of the most important questions that we ought to answer for our selves.

love

Truly where love exists there’s no place for fear. We might feel fear the moment after we’ve experienced pure love, but the two cannot co-exist. That explains why the masters exhort us to love one another. If we can focus on and cultivate love then there’s not going to be much fear in our lives…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM loving…

Be happy, for your only function here is happiness.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

why

Why are we not happy? Let’s watch our thoughts and determine what takes us away from happiness, now. Worries about the future? Regrets of the past? Low self-esteem? Lack of fulfillment? All of the above?

our job

God is pure joy. We are his children. We deserve to be joyful. That’s our job and it sure is our destiny. So?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my pure joy!

Where To Look?

If you listen for God’s voice, He will tell you where to throw your net.  – Joyce Meyer

God’s available. He’s always listening. He cares. He wishes to participate in our lives.

Let’s invite him into our lives. How? By first acknowledging that he’s there. And then by involving him in our daily lives. His voice will guide us.
