What Are The 3 Commandments?

Leave a comment

To live without judgment, to give without expecting and to love for no reason… – The Universe

the ‘trifecta’

Living without judgment seems impossible. Heck we can’t stop judging our own selves let alone others! Giving without expecting is another seeming impossibility! Why can’t we just focus on self? Loving for no reason, you must be kidding, after all that they did to me??

sainthood

Yes the goal is to become saints. Why, you might ask? Because in the short and the long run saints are happier than mere mortals. Don’t we want to be full of joy and happiness?

Why We Matter More Than We Know…

Every cell, every human being, is of equal importance and has work to do in this world. – Peace Pilgrim

self-esteem

If all self-esteem issues would disappear we would have world peace! Self-esteem is the main cause for all conflict. We want to control others so that they do what we want them to do so that we feel better and important. The world is all about us, where we came from, what we perceive and what we would like to see happen…

we matter

We matter more than we can realize. We matter to God, which is why he made us universally unique. God loves us. We matter to the Universe because without variety life would be boring. We are not boring. And we matter to Life because it would be incomplete without us. We complete everything. Once we realize this we have our work cut out for us…

Why We Must Face Shame!

Leave a comment

If we’re going to find our way back to each other vulnerability is going to be that path. – Brene Brown

vulnerability

On Tuesday I shared some thoughts on Brene Brown and her talk on vulnerability. Here’s her next TED video which delves deeper into vulnerability by tackling ‘shame’ head-on! Real good stuff. Forces us to become more real, with self and others, check it out!

shame

According to Brene Brown guilt is ‘I did something bad. I made a mistake.’ While shame is ‘I am bad. I am a mistake.’ Women most often feel shame when they cannot do it all or can’t do it perfectly. Men feel shame when they think ‘I am weak’. It’s important to recognize shame when we experience it so that we don’t brush it aside. It pays to shine a light into a dark corner inside us. Because then we can be more human, more vulnerable and therefore more lovable and loving…

Why Beliefs Are Important To Watch!

Leave a comment

When your beliefs match your desires then your desires must become reality.  – Abraham

match

Most of us are not quite sure if the Law of Attraction works or if it works 100% of the time. The stuff of the Universe comes from thought and we are the wards of the Eternal. Our thoughts have immense power. What we see happening around us, the good and the bad, is directly or indirectly caused collectively by us. Whether we can consciously use the Law of Attraction to our ‘advantage’ really depends on what deep assumptions and beliefs we hold. If we want great relationships but deep down don’t think we’re worthy enough to have them, then such relationships won’t be showing up for us.

creative responsibility

We have a great responsibility on our shoulders. If we don’t want more of what the world is experiencing right now then we must choose our thoughts with care. We ought to target our desires to match with those of the Universe. This ensures that our entire world moves forward in way that benefits everyone and not just some of us. This also ensures that we live a more fulfilling life i.e. our ‘Life Purpose’!

Why We Must Be Vulnerable!

Let ourselves be seen.

Love with our whole hearts.

Practice gratitude, lean into joy.

I am enough.

– Brene Brown

brene brown

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!

more real

By becoming more 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…
