Real Wealth

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.  – Oscar Wilde

transient stuff

Stuff doesn’t last. Which means its value is worth questioning. Which also begs the question: What does last?

real value

Does our awareness, our identity, our personality, last? That’s left to what we believe, one might say. It’s my experience that with belief, faith, comes the slow realization that we’re part of something infinitely larger, a loving presence. This presence deepens with the practice of Stillness. Such an experience constitutes personal proof that we last, forever. If we last then so do others. Relationships then are of paramount and lasting value.

Daily Affirmation: Today I value people.

Visualize!

Visualization, that seeing of that which is not yet, is essential for the attainment of all the good that man may aspire to. – Tehilla Lichtenstein

visualize what?

Visualize that which you want to realize in your life. Not that which you’d rather not see. Caught in our fears and insecurities we often dwell more on that which shouldn’t be, rather than that which ought to be. Visualize, preferably, the highest good for the most people concerned.

how?

Feel the end result, see it as clearly as you can, smell it, touch it, experience it fully, live it. Employ all your senses and imagination. Repeat a couple times a day, no more, then let go…

An Example: Visualize your house bustling with family, enjoying the laughter, the fun and games, see light, smell the aromas, experience the happiness, notice that health and prosperity abound…

Daily Affirmation: Today I visualize happiness.

Become Visionary!

With vision there is no room to be frightened. No reason for intimidation. It’s time to march forward! Let’s be confident and positive! – Charles R. Swindoll 

what’s stopping us?

Why does fear have such a hold on us?

Imagine living a life without fear of failure or without the deep fear of extinction that we all carry around with us…

How can one live a fearless life?

positivity conquers

We are a bundle of vibrations. From the smallest cell in our bodies to the highest thought, it’s all energy and vibration! We must produce positive vibrations, we must dwell in positivity, we must repel negative ones coming from people around us. The way forward can only be good, it can only be discovered in confidence and it can only be created out of vision. Allow the creativity and vision that craves expression through you, a unique and magical child of the Universe, to burst forth!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM magically creative!

Gita: Evenness Of Mind

2.47 Set thy heart upon thy work, but never on its reward…

2.48 …Yoga is evenness of mind – a peace that is ever the same. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2)

thy work

God instructs us to understand what work is ideal and to devote all effort to it. We’re reminded not to worry or focus on the end result. Control of the mind and protection from its inconsistencies is the goal.

evenness of mind

In most chapters The Gita reminds mankind to cultivate a balanced and even state of mind. One which allows us to stay connected to the divine inside us and one that allows us to stay unflustered.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still and balanced.

The Real Secret

Go out of your way to make others happy. You cannot please everybody, but to those souls who cross your path, give kindness and love. – Yogananda

the secret sauce

The real secret to life is to focus not on ourselves but others. We feel happy when we make others happy, and that raises our own vibrations. Higher, more positive vibrations translates into all-around goodness for us!

a balancing act

Life is a series of balancing acts. On one hand we must love ourselves and pay attention to what works for us. On the other hand we can’t find true happiness without being selfless and of service to others around us.

Daily Affirmation: Today I seek out service opportunities.

Self vs. Success

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. – Maya Angelou

all about us

Success is all about us. It’s about how we perceive our inherent value and the world outside us. If our general outlook is negative or critical, how can we not be critical of self? How can happiness (and success), then, have any chance of finding us?

like yourself

At the end of the day, literally and figuratively, if we’re not happy in our own skin, not happy with our selves, we’re not successful. Let’s grab success by its horns by appreciating what we are, what we have, what we do!

Daily Affirmation: Today I like myself, no strike that, I love myself!

True To Design

Most people are other people.  Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.  – Oscar Wilde

who are we?

How much of us, is truly us? How much is borrowed? Wholesome manners and attitudes are worth imitating, nothing much else is.

discover you

We are truly unique, a creation of the Infinite, impossible to replicate in all of time and in all space.

Ponder that.

Why did God create us to be so?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my own expression.
