Why We Must Author Our Lives…

The rest of our life is unwritten.  – Namaste Now!

choose

We can choose to direct the remainder of our lives. We are authors of our experience to a large extent. To the degree that we believe and accept this principle will we impact our lives through our thinking and intentions.

adventure

Life is a greater adventure when we realize how much of our lives we hold in our hands. What will we choose? What will we create? And to what end? As we think through such questions we may wonder about the role ‘God’ plays in our adventure. God is the master architect of this adventure. We are fellow project managers with a purview over our own domains. To the extent that we participate in the overall march of events we will experience greater fulfillment. The Universe is infinitely creative and will take full advantage of whatever we venture to undertake!

How To Banish Worry (series)

If things go wrong, don’t go with them.Roger Babson

life

Life deals us all kinds of cards. How we pick these cards up, play with them and throw them back into the deck called Life is up to us. If our cards are ‘wrong’ we can’t let that affect us emotionally or physically.

How To Be Really Beautiful!

Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.  – A Beautiful Mind

mind & body

We put much of our attention on our bodies. And then some attention on our minds. It’s cool to be an intellectual. We want to be desirable to others and how better to do it except by being good looking and smart?

soul questions

  • How can we make our soul beautiful?
  • How can we think beautiful thoughts?
  • What does it take to have beautiful relationships?
  • How can we create a beautiful life?

What’s True Ambition?

True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God.Bill Wilson

true ambition

We all struggle with what to do in life. We want safety, assurance, fulfillment and happiness. We often end up doing that which doesn’t satisfy the soul. What is true ambition? What should we aspire to? And how?

useful and guided

Our lives will be narrow and self-centered if we only live for self. Think about it, God is the ultimate reality and if we can be divinely guided then life can be nothing but a huge success. How can we be guided by God? How can we be useful to others? With these two guiding principles life simply unfolds its treasures and lays them on our path forward…

How To Be Original!

It is the never-ceasing questioning of things as they are which makes us original authors.Vernon Howard

programmed

Are we living a programmed life? Do we react the same way every time? Do we act predictably when our emotional buttons are pushed? How are we machine-like rather than human?

be original!

We can reclaim our originality by becoming more aware. We can recognize when we’re attempting to control others by throwing a tantrum; or when we’re being controlled by others who can’t handle the way we think or the way we are. By stopping and questioning what’s going on, by attempting to understand what’s ‘real’ and by being bold enough to act as necessary we’re being ‘original’. We unleash our creative self and we stop living hypnotic lives…

How To Banish Worry (series)

Stress is an ignorant state.  It believes that everything is an emergency.Natalie Goldberg

trouble

When real or perceived trouble approaches we get stressed. We often don’t know what to do about it. This week let’s focus on another principle that’ll help us tackle worry. ’Living in day-tight compartments’ was the first principle to help us disengage from worry! Thank you Dale Carnegie for sharing this wisdom with us!

life principles

2nd Principle to Overcome Worry: Know how to face trouble a) Ask yourself, “What is the worst that can possibly happen?” b) Prepare to accept the worst. c) Try to improve on the worst.

Figuring out the worst case scenario forces us to face it. Once we face it we may find that it’s really not that bad. Next we can ‘prepare’ to deal with such an eventuality. Finally we can do what we can to improve the situation. Let’s use our thinking faculty, stop hyper-ventilating and do the best we can!

Daily Affirmation: Today I face trouble calmly!

Why We Must Create!

We were created to create, not to react!  – Neale Donald Walsch

react

We mostly react our way through life. We wait for things to happen. We bury our heads in the sand. We let things get out of hand. We don’t think that we are creators. We don’t think we’re worthy enough to be children of God!

create

But we are the offspring of the Creator, we do spring from the very bosom of the Universe and we are much more than we imagine. We must awaken to our heritage and our inheritance, we must love boldly, think like creative children and live without abandon! Let’s create beauty all around us, in our relationships and in everything that we attempt! Are we up-to the challenge?
