An Incomparable Jewel

January 14, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty. – Jesus, Gospel of Thomas

you are what you know

What you know yourself to be is what you’ll believe and practice. Carefully examine and question all assumptions that you make about life and yourself. Are these assumptions serving you well?

child of God

You are a creation. A unique and incomparable jewel in the eye of the First Source and Center of All That Is. You’re indestructible, a pioneer, a traveler and a co-creator in this grand drama that unfolds around us. Claim your heritage and march forth in full confidence, the path unfolds as you walk boldly forward.

Allow The Energy…

January 13, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you. – Oprah Winfrey

your personal calling

What do you do naturally and joyfully, which when you do it, adds energy to your being and to the people around you? That is your personal calling. You will thrive when you undertake it.

serve others

Hard work plus a focus on serving others are also important components. Without them you won’t be supporting the Universal purpose. Allow the Universal purpose to be expressed through your being!

Where do you look?

January 12, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others. – Kung-fu-tse (Confucius)

chutzpah

We most often have the attitude that essentially we know the answer. We know what makes us happy, we know what to do with our relationships and we know how to figure things out. This is despite many of us having a low self-esteem. Why is that?

humility

Humility will work better. Be curious about life, don’t be a know-it-all. Ask questions instead. And know that you have an inner-guidance system that will guide you unerringly, if you only listen. Guided from within, with an attitude of humility stay curious about everything outside you. Your happiness is not to be found where the grass is greener.

The Path To Wisdom

January 11, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom. – Lord Buddha

what’s the way forward?

It’s the path that leads to most happiness for you and those around you. That way can only be discovered through wisdom. Wisdom comes from knowing thyself. Which in turn is accelerated by meditation!

the thing to do

Is to just be. Learn how to do that via meditation or stillness. Look here.

The Power To Just Be…

January 10, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

What is life if, full of care; We have no time to stand and stare? – W.H. Davies

must figure it out

We lead a hypnotic existence most moments in the day. What does that mean? We’re lost in our thoughts, trying to figure everything out. What to buy, how to deal with certain individuals, what does s/he think of me, I’m over weight, I must do this or that….

just be

Notice your breath, know that you can rest and just life be. You can decide to be instead of do. Notice how that can be so relaxing, when you can flow with the river that life is and not care or worry. You owe it to yourself.

The Power Of Curiosity

January 7, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning. – Ivy Baker Priest

expand your awareness

Why are we so one dimensional? We tend to see the world primarily through the narrow vision of our own being and experiences…

How does this limit us when…

Learning new ideas?
Relating with people?
Or understanding the world?

borrow someone’s shoes

How is it to think like another, see life like they do, interpret life like they would? What happens when we get into someone else’s shoes? I know I’m asking a lot of questions in this blog, but that’s the idea!

Your Responsibility

January 6, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. – Maria Robinson

can’t go back

This week’s quotes are all about beginnings given this is the start of a brand new decade!!

Although we love to dwell on the past, do so only while reminiscing pleasant memories, stay away from the unpleasant kind. You create your own thoughts, learn to control their quality and output!

positive beginnings

The thoughts you dwell on are actualizing your present and creating your future. Choose them wisely, realize your creative abilities as a child of the Universe. Dwell on positive emotions, life is too short. Craft your life with intent and design, that’s how it works!
