Where Does The Buck Stop?

Leave a comment

You are the center of divine operation in your life, and your partner is the Universe. No one can get in the way of your creation. – Rhonda Byrne

the center

God’s focus is on us! We are supremely valuable to her, we may be able to do without her for some time but she can’t do without us even for a moment! Can we believe that? Our self-worth suffers tremendously when we don’t accept this essential spiritual fact in faith. And herein lies the key to ‘peace beyond all understanding’.

god child

We are God children. We’re God’s children. All humans are our siblings. We live a spiritual life even when we don’t realize it. We’re responsible for our own well-being. Nothing stands between us and God, between us and true happiness, between us and a most fulfilling life, nothing!

Why We Must Take Bold Steps!

Leave a comment

Standing in the inspiring vision of my future, I boldly take every step – large and small – with courage and intent. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

future

What is the most amazing future we can imagine for self and the world? To what material, mental and spiritual heights can we scale? What can we dream up next? When will we start acting like the children of God that we are already?

courageous intent

We can do all that’s good for others and self through courage and intent. Courage allows us to take the first and consequent steps. We can be focused on the goal and know that God gently holds us in his palm. Intent is essential because that’s the co-creation the Universe seeks from us. God is unable to act in the realm of the human without our active participation. He provides all the building blocks and we may join the fun with just a dream in our hearts! The divine play is then in action!

Dale Carnegie, Quotes - 2011

Why Sincere Appreciation Works!

Leave a comment

The way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement. – Charles M Schwab

appreciate

We all have a big need to feel important. By making the other person feel important we can build amazing relationships. Dale Carnegie states that the 2nd principle in winning people over is to ‘Give honest, sincere appreciation’.

sincerely

Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

If we make the soul-effort to find that which is great and noteworthy in the other individual we can honestly point that out and make the other person feel important. Only goodness can come from that!

Dale Carnegie, Quotes - 2011

Why Judging Doesn’t Help!

Leave a comment

God himself, sir, does not propose to judge man until the end of his days. Why should you and I? – Dr. Johnson

relationships

I just started reading this classic by Dale Carnegie (linked below) and the first principle he shares on how to build great relationships is ‘Don’t Criticize, Condemn or Complain’! We are complex beings, a muddle of ego, emotions and opinions, we do have to tread carefully when attempting to build long term relationships! When we put someone down by telling them exactly why they’re wrong we rarely achieve the goal of nurturing great relationships. Criticism puts the recipient into a defensive mode and their hurt ego cannot easily respond back positively.

judge not

Why should we judge anyway? Putting self into that mode transports us into that negative vibration and makes life for us more like the recipient of our judgment. Have we observed how often we experience that which we noticed or ‘judged’ in another’s experience? Why is that? The more we stay in a positive vibration, the better it simply is!

Daily Affirmation: Today I judge not!

What It Takes To Be Real!

Leave a comment

They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. – Carl Buechner

from the heart

Let’s be real. When we listen, let’s really listen, when we help, let’s help with all our heart and soul, and when we say something, let’s really mean it. That’s the essential trick to making a lasting impact on any person!

eternal

When we’re being real and operate from the heart we have an eternal impact on the people and events we touch. How, you might ask? It’s my firm belief that the only things of spiritual import, events to do with people and relationships, last forever. How can we make every interaction eternal?

What Habits Do To Us!

Leave a comment

Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you. – Elbert Hubbard

habits die hard

We’re creatures of habit. All our habits spring from the realm of thought and energy which is why they’re so hard to unseat!

  • Assumptions: What do we assume about self, others and life? For example do we assume good health?
  • Beliefs: What do we believe about the universe, where we come from and where we’re going? Do we believe that we’ll always have enough?
  • Attitudes: How do we approach tasks, our future and people? Do we have a ‘can-do’ attitude?

How can we examine our base habits?

create

We can’t always choose. We’re born into a whole set of familial vibrations that initially make up our assumptions, beliefs and attitudes. Slowly we build life habits that predict the rest of our lives.

As we become aware of our life programming we have the creative opportunity to replace habits that don’t work with ones that do! Will we master self or allow habits to master us?

Why We Must Drink Sunshine!

Leave a comment

Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. – Elbert Hubbard

the way to be

We are children of God. We can walk upright and be confident in our spiritual birthright. All is well for those who walk daily with God.

soulful existence

By putting soul into all that we do, including our greetings, our smiles and our interactions with others, we become active conduits for God’s grace and love. That’s our purpose.
