Why We Must Dream…

…that you’ve got to have a dream if you want to have a dream come true.  – Denis Waitley

conflicting thoughts

Why do we hold back on dreaming? We are afraid to dream big dreams because we’re afraid to achieve the dream itself or fear that the dream will change our current lives too much! What a contradiction! We think we’re truly not capable of achieving many of our dreams which is why we don’t dwell on a particular dream for too long! Let’s examine our thinking habits and beliefs to uncover what hold’s us back…

dream!

If we can dream without hesitation and just be aware of why we hesitate then we can soar! Let’s shed our reservations and jump into waters unknown, confident that we’ll emerge stronger even if the result isn’t what we dreamed. God knows our heart and all other hearts intimately well. The eternal tapestry that he’s weaving will be beautiful and will only be more beautiful if we dream more dreams…

…that without knowing who you are and why you are here, life has no meaning.Neale Donald Walsch

26th Dale Carnegie Principle: Let the other person save face..

Here’s a story from the book:

Years ago the General Electric Company was faced with the delicate task of removing Charles Steinmetz from the head of a department. Steinmetz, a genius of the first magnitude when it came to electricity, was a failure as the head of the calculating department. Yet the company didn’t dare offend the man. He was indispensable – and highly sensitive. So they gave him a new title. They made him Consulting Engineer of the General Electric Company – a new title for work he was already doing -and let someone else head up the department.
Steinmetz was happy.
So were the officers of G.E. They had gently maneuvered their most temperamental star, and they had done it without a storm – by letting him save face.

Why Not To Be Disappointed…

…disappointment is your thought that God doesn’t know what God is doing…Neale Donald Walsch

life

Life is what it is. What we think about it and how we react to it is up to us. To respond with wisdom takes understanding of who we are and where we fit in…

understanding

We live in a dark world. Dark because we don’t know much about our spiritual origins, we know not how all this fits and we generally don’t know where we’re headed. What’s the purpose of all that’s happening?

According to The Urantia Papers, we’re in the dark because Urantia, our planet, is under an information quarantine from the rest of the Universe! There’s a time coming, soon, when this veil will be lifted and we’ll know more about our place in this amazing universe!!

Why We Must Be ‘Frisky’!

Your Inner Being is just like your frisky two-year old who is eager for life experience.Abraham

inner being

There resides within us an essence of All That Is. That infinite sparkle desires to express itself as us. It’s up to us if we’ll let that happen. It’s up to our ego if we’ll allow it. Will we allow the Creator expression through us?

frisky!

The way we allow it is by being trusting, faithful and playful. Worry or fear has no place in such a life. We live as though all’s well and all will be well. We go about discovering, creating and enjoying the life that we co-create with Divine Intelligence. Are we up to it?

Why We Must See Beyond

All things are sacred in the lives of those who are spirit led.  – The Urantia Papers

real goal

What’s our true goal in life? Is it to keep our current job, get the next promotion, maintain a certain lifestyle, stay healthy or what? Shouldn’t our goal be more transcendent than just that? If so, what should it be?

spirit

All life, everything we experience, was authored at the spirit level. If all man made things were first conceived as mere thoughts, then shouldn’t it follow that all of life was conceived by a creator? If so, then shouldn’t we attempt to understand the very fiber of this creation, wouldn’t we want to reach the very creator?
