Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live. – Jonathan Edwards

intention

When we intend to do something, that gets the ball rolling. The deeper and more meaningful our intention, the bigger the impact of our original intention on our lives. Resolve to live big, fearlessly and with vigor!

When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true. – Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist

align with universal forces

Imagine aligning your intention with God’s intentions! That’s the trick to happiness and success in any endeavor. Realize that the Universe is run by an intelligent force. Consequently everything that’s occurring must have a purpose; align with the larger purpose and then the whole universe will conspire with you!

Banish All Negativity

1 Comment

It’s the simplest properties that will help you clear yourself of negativity … The profound power of a simple prayer. The strength of a deep breath. The gentle guidance of good music. – Jeffrey Wands

become aware of the negativity

We think incessantly and we mostly think unconsciously. Because of that proclivity we often don’t know what we’re thinking. Catch yourself starting a negative chain of thoughts. Understand where and how a negative thought popped in. Once you do that, you’re awake and in the moment. Now you’re fully equipped to take charge of your mind, just the way it ought to be!

now use what’s already around you

Notice the beauty around you, appreciate it. Start listening to your favorite music. Make a prayer for strength and power. Take full advantage of your awake, conscious state. You are now in control of your emotional well-being!

The Next Step?

Leave a comment

The fool wonders, the wise man asks. – Benjamin Disraeli

ask first

We often ask ourselves; what should I do next? That’s a great step forward, we must ask first. What then? Often we keep asking and nothing seems to happen? What’s going on?

then observe

Nothing seems to happen because we’re expecting a certain answer! And we only look for that particular answer and glaze over everything else.

We need to be free of any expectations, and once we’re free, just look!

Look for signs from the Universe. They come to us in an infinite variety of ways, through people, situations, inanimate objects, you name it. Observation is key.

now act

Once you observe something that appears to be a sign. Take the action that’s called for. If you do; more signs will appear, they always do. You’re now actively on your journey of self and Universe discovery!!

What’s Your Opinion?

Leave a comment

Don’t seek reality, just put an end to opinions. – Sheng-ts’an (Zen Monk)

what do you seek?

And how do you go about it?

stop separating

Notice how you think. You often examine one object, situation or person then compare it with something else. This constant comparison is a major cause of the constant chatter in our minds.

Recognize that, find peace.

Truthful To The Core

Leave a comment

Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others. – Wilfred Peterson

with your own self first

This quote goes to the heart of truthfulness and consistency. If we watch ourselves, we’ll notice our various attitudes towards our own selves. Get to know yourself. And then notice when you’re being unkind to your self. You may do this when you don’t think you can achieve something; or when you think your body’s ugly. You judge thy own self constantly.

and then it follows

Which gives you license to judge others and be unkind to them in different ways. If you’re gentle with your self, consistency demands that you then be gentle with all others. That’s Truth in action.
