A Facebook friend shared this amazing TED video with me. Brene a social researcher discovered that to live deeply we must become more vulnerable. Watch the video and share your thoughts!

By becoming open and vulnerable, we become more real to self and to others. We expose our humanity. This allows us to love more deeply. When we love in that fashion we experience a joy that’s uncommon and we become naturally thankful for all that we are and have. Then it’s clear that we are loved and enough just the way we are…

How To Be More Peaceful…

Leave a comment

Trust creates peace.  – ‘Yogi Tea’ Fortune

what’s missing?

Something is definitely missing in our lives. What is it? We search for it incessantly and we don’t quite find it. We look for it in relationships, in cars and gadgets, at work and in our hobbies but that ‘something’ stays mostly elusive! What is it? What is it that’ll help us be at peace and fulfilled?

trust!

An ultimate answer will never be forthcoming! Why? Because life, God’s creation, is endless and eternal, just like God. We can continually progress as we move along; we’re never ‘there’ though. But there is something we can attain while on the journey. And that’s peace. How can we start feeling this peace? Via trust and faith. We must trust, that as children of the ‘most high’ we are safe, all is well and that all will be well. Such peace is accentuated via stillness.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM trusting that all is well!

How To Be Wealthy!

Leave a comment

Contentment is the greatest wealth.  – The Urantia Papers

wealth

  • How do we define success for ourselves?
    What is true wealth?
    How much is enough?
    What do we truly ‘need’?
    What do we ultimately seek?

wealth

The very source of it all, the fountain of truth, the satisfaction of all our true desires, our eternal guide and our ultimate goal resides quietly within our hearts. It yearns to make contact, but often cannot because of the electro-chemical nature of our minds. It also does not because we don’t seek it. It never forces, but gently prods if we only listen. Stillness helps us make contact.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM content, life is good!

How To Develop A Thick Skin

Leave a comment

If you can’t take it you won’t make it.  – Vernon Howard

thick skin?

Why are we so sensitive? When someone does something that irks us or concerns us we must not think that it’s all about us. The world is not focused on us. Others are fighting their own battles and see us through their unique lens.

must grow up!

We need to grow up and take it on our chin. We must not get depressed or hurt at every thing that doesn’t go our way, we must be brave and recognize the situation for what it is. If we can stay objective about what’s going on we’ll emerge as masters!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM taking it and not flinching!

How We Hurt Self!

Leave a comment

Realize that defense of your wrong position is defeat for your life. – Vernon Howard

self-defeating

Our ego gets in the way. Often! Our instinctive reaction is to defend everything about us and what we say. This is actually a self-defeating habit. I’m a prime example of this proclivity in action! You might be too.

truth

Truth serves us best! We must be transparently truthful with our own selves. Defending what is indefensible makes us weaker. We get stronger the more we master self!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM more accepting of my faults and still feel good!!
