Slow And Steady…

March 7, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

There is a secret bond between slowness and memory, between speed and forgetting. – Milan Kundera

haste makes waste

We’re always in a hurry. To get where? To do what? Are we missing the journey while trying to get to the destination? It’s a habit we’ve formed. We ought to break it.

slow and steady

Let’s slooooow down.

Put reminders for yourself to pause and examine your mindset. Breathe deeper, don’t let life pass you by.

Daily Affirmation: Today I will remember to breathe slow and deep. I will pause to experience life.

Contentment Is…

March 4, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. – Lao-tzu

look around

Life is bountiful. All we need are eyes to see and senses to sense it all. When our inner-most recesses are in silence, we can appreciate it, a whole lot more.

and within

The source of all joy, peace and contentment lies within us. Once we figure out how to tap into that, then all that we already have and already are, is supremely satisfying! Life is good, right now.

Daily Affirmation: Today I will notice the bounty that exists around me and in me. I will revel in the blessings I already enjoy! Thank you!

Growing Or Shrinking?

March 3, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Every moment of one’s existence, one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit. – Norman Mailer

what’s going on?

Here’s a great opportunity to become more aware of self. Just like every thought eventually comes from either the emotion of fear or love, similarly you’re either shrinking into yourself or growing out, blossoming!

blossom out!

Notice where you’re at, at any given moment, then choose, intentionally, to banish any fears or doubts, then adopt a higher more lovely thought about your self or where you’d rather be. Choose well.

Daily Affirmation: Every time I breathe, I grow in confidence and ability. In all the good things of life, I’m unstoppable!

You Are Safe!

March 2, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

You may be surrounded with small enemies and be retarded by many obstacles, but the big things and the real things of this world and the universe are on your side. – Jesus, The Urantia Papers

our fears

It’s our insecurities that keep us from being joyous, right here and now. Our planet is very confused, we scarcely have any idea about where we came from and what our destinies might be. Most religions are helpful but only to a point. We’re often left to our own devices to figure this out. And that’s scary.

ultimate safety

There’s a divine intelligence that authored this Universe and it’s beings. We’re ultimately safe. Accept this truth, through faith.

Affirmation: I accept that a divine thread runs through all life and all experiences. I am safe today and tomorrow.

Change Happening!

March 1, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Change is the law of life. – John F. Kennedy

understand the law

Notice the change that’s always in motion. The day passes, we grow older, the keys on a keyboard slowly smoothen out, the sensitivity of our senses and our own awareness of things itself is constantly in flux. So why do we want everything to stay the same [don’t want change]? And what about our desires for new things and experiences all the time [want change]?

the ‘you’ that doesn’t change

If everything’s changing, what is it that’s not changing? The constancy comes from our individuality. Even though we ourselves change and grow all the time, there’s a part of us that instills a sameness to us. Under normal circumstances, whether we awaken from sleep or regain consciousness after losing it, there’s always the ‘us’ that’s there. That’s the lens from which we view all our experiences and changes. It’s the same perspective that can help us stay in the ‘now’ moment. The more we’re in the now moment, the better prepared are we for life as it happens to us.

Affirmation: Today I will stay centered as much as possible. As change occurs I will simply notice it.

Recommendation: Getting in the Gap

Finding Real Security

February 28, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

True security is found in an inward relationship with Reality, not in an outward relationship with a man. Self-change toward lasting happiness proceeds from the inner to the outer. – Vernon Howard

where to look

Here Vernon is talking to a woman who was asking him about relationship issues. We must peek inside first. We must seek that which we already possess. No one or no thing outside can guarantee us long term peace and fulfillment.

awareness

Getting to know ourselves, what we like, dislike, how we operate, what keeps us ticking etc. is of primary importance. This is a path that leads to a deeper relationship with the source of wisdom, that’s inside us.

Daily Affirmation: Today I will listen first and then talk. I will understand my real motivations behind any action. I will pause, then act.

Create Your Life

February 25, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out who you are, seek to determine who you want to be. – Neale Donald Walsch

discover or create?

Do we discover and uncover our selves or do we create our selves? Depends on what you think your deep self is. The Eastern way to see it is that our inner-self is perfect, waiting to be uncovered… Another way to think is that we’re born with a tabula rasa and it’s up to us to create a life.

how about both?

I believe that it’s both paradigms working at the same time. We have an eternal component within us; that’s the potential we’re trying to actualize. As we do that, we grow our own selves, we create our own lives.

Daily Affirmation: Today I take full responsibility for creating my life. I will co-create with my divine inner-self to increase truth, beauty and goodness in the universe.
