Why We Suffer…

Fill your mind with the meaningless stimuli of a world preoccupied with meaningless things, and it will not be easy to feel peace in your heart.  – Marianne Williamson

focus

We’re focused on meaningless stuff and activities. That’s the reason we suffer. As we become aware of this constant chatter, ongoing inside the head, we start to quiet our mind. Just by being more conscious! As we become more still, the peace and joy that resides within us, has a chance to emerge, and it does!

affirmations

Today I AM focused on meaningful things. I catch myself when I dwell on useless stuff. I AM a child of God and will act like one!

What To Plant?

With life as short as a half-taken breath, don’t plant anything but love. – Rumi (the untold story)

planting seeds

We are planting seeds constantly via our thoughts and actions. Let’s focus on planting love-filled seeds. Why? Because ‘love’ is the very basis of life and our Universe. It’s the life-blood of existence, let’s focus today on what’s truly real!

affirmations

Today I AM love itself. I allow love to flow through me as I interact with everyone around me. In this way I can more easily do ‘God’s will’…

For The New Year!

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.  – Edith Lovejoy Pierce

born again!

Let’s throw off the assumptions that chain our lives. Let’s be born again! Resolve to think afresh and anew. We won’t accept limitations that others place upon us. We are creative and unique beings like no other in all time and space! We will claim our uniqueness, stamp life with our signature and relish our personal impact! Each moment we breathe is like no other before it. Each day is new. We can’t let the failures of the past hold us back. We will start designing our future life, today, NOW!

affirmations

2015 is the year for new beginnings! And so it shall be! I AM renewed and ready! Everything good continues to flow to me. All is well.

How To Find Eternity…

God exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is.  – Marianne Williamson

now!

All we have is now. All that we do, can only be in the present moment. And for that reason when we’re thinking and processing in our minds, we can’t really be doing anything else. We can’t be smelling the roses, we can’t really be listening to another, we can’t even listen to the signals our own body or soul might be sending our way!

Let’s pay attention to all the thoughts we’re processing, all day long. As we bring our attention to that constant activity, it will begin to slow down. We then create spaces between our thoughts that allow for peace, intuition, joy and direct perception possible. We start living a richer life.

affirmations

Today I AM present here and now. I AM with God. I know peace and joy. I AM content and peaceful.

How To Generate Peace…

There is no peace without forgiveness.  – Marianne Williamson

forgive!

How many resentments can we harbor? We pay a price for each resentment that we make our own. We can never truly rest or be peaceful until the psychological baggage of any resentment is resolved. And that transaction is completed only when we truly forgive.

Here’s a secret. God’s love and forgiveness can’t be felt in our heart until we can completely forgive all those who might have hurt us in anyway. It makes for a major spiritual block. Try this right now, in your mind find someone who irritates you or who you haven’t forgiven yet. Now visualize them and completely forgive them if you can. If you do, you’ll immediately feel a very palpable peace (a lightness) descend into your heart.

Forgiveness is the first step to peace, even to effective meditation. Ideally we should forgive daily.

affirmations

Today I AM forgiving everyone and everything that ever bothered me! I AM a forgiving machine. I feel lighter. I feel loved. I AM safe.
