The Secret To Happiness Is…

Leave a comment

The secret of happiness is, find something more important than you are [and] dedicate your life to it.  – Daniel Dennett

a secret

When we find passion in something that’s greater than us several things will start happening:

1) We’ll need help from others, it’s unlikely that we can land the vision all by ourselves

2) God and his angels will jump in to help us because our effort will likely benefit humanity at large

3) We won’t be focused on self. Selfless behavior produces happiness

4) We will live joyous lives because we’ll be making others’ lives better

affirmations

I AM focused on ideas that help others. I work on that which is greater than I. It’s all about others. I serve the great Spirit and am open to its guidance. I imagine a world where we’re all serving others. I imagine a world that’s rapidly transforming because of the force of love. I imagine a joyful planet in the near future…

How Not To Be Hurt!

Leave a comment

Understanding abolishes hurt feelings forever. – Vernon Howard

understand

Our ego gets hurt. Our ego isn’t us. It’s just an artificial construct that serves a practical purpose. We come from God, that’s our nature. When someone hurts or attempts to hurt others, the other person doesn’t have to accept that ‘act of war’. It’s up to us to use our wisdom for our own benefit. We choose to be hurt or to be peaceful. How will we use our thoughts today?

affirmations

Today I see things as they are. I don’t allow myself to get hurt. I see where the other person is coming from. I know it all works out. I trust God with my life. I AM very thankful.

How We Declare War!

Leave a comment

Just don’t love war anymore. You’re all engaged in it, and you know what warfare is. It’s attacking, it’s an attempt to hurt, injure and kill, and it’s getting wounded in return. You are engaged in violent inner warfare. – Vernon Howard

war

It’s war, pretty much all the time. We fight through the day. We fight life. We struggle. We fight to be heard. We engage in war when others don’t understand. We hurt others when they hurt us. Even when we stop interacting and employ emotional blackmail, it’s war. We’re always fighting. How can we stop? Let’s let go and flow with life, trusting that Universal Intelligence is taking care of everything, and us!

affirmations

I AM throwing down arms today. I will let God manage my life and my relationships. I AM showing up in love. I will flow through life today and accept all that happens in my stride.
