Bad Luck

Leave a comment

Bad luck is universal. Don’t take it personally.  – Solomon Short

bad and good

Bad and good is often in the eye of the beholder and in the way the chips ultimately fall. What’s bad for us today may turn out to be good for a larger group of people than just you and I, even for you and I. Luck is often a matter of expectation. The thoughts and expectations that consume us daily resolve into our life today and tomorrow…

taking it personally

The world is not all about us. When others are unkind, it’s not about us, it’s mainly about them. We lash out at others, get angry and make judgments because of our own universe of thought and experiences. When good comes our way it’s ok to take it personally, although when it goes away we’ll feel sadder. When ‘bad’ comes our way, then certainly it’s not about us. Let’s accept reality for what it is and figure out a way forward…You are not alone.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my good luck.

Emotional Hurt

Leave a comment

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind and has given up worrying once and for all.  – Ovid

what hurts you?

We carry a lot of emotional baggage. People and circumstances have hurt us. Actually they’ve not hurt us, we’ve allowed hurt to occur. Self-knowledge is key to uncovering such issues.

awareness & acceptance

Two ways out of it are awareness and forgiveness. Awareness of what actually happened and our part in the allowing the hurt. Forgiveness can be understood as acceptance. We accept how a certain person is, they are what they are, we let them be, we accept them for what they are and move on.

Daily Affirmation: Today I understand how I allow myself to hurt.

It’s Me Not Them…

Leave a comment

Only when we learn to channel the energy we direct toward winning over others into winning over ourselves can we begin to develop our humanity. – Daisaku Ikeda

focus inwards

There’s a time and a season for everything, isn’t there? There’s a time to be outward looking, which is ideal when we’re giving or learning. We shouldn’t be looking elsewhere for approval or recognition. Then there’s time to be inward looking, reflective and thoughtful, finding and executing on opportunities to improve ourselves.

win over self

The biggest life quest is over self. It’s true understanding of our inclinations, motivations and failings. Then it’s a fine balance to improve ourselves without self-excoriation and without putting ourselves on a guilt trip. We must be patient with ourselves just like God is with us, her children.

Daily Affirmation: Today I win over self.

Thoughts R Us!

Leave a comment

Tell me to what you pay attention, and I will tell you who you are.  – José Ortega y Gasset

our attention

We are creators of our own universe. The creation occurs through the vehicle of our thoughts, intentions, expectations and actions. Whatever we dwell upon, materializes in some fashion. It pays to pay attention to our attention.

TIE (thoughts, intentions, expectations) + Action

So the formula (TIE + Action = Creation), while hard to implement, is very simple in concept. Focus attention on that which we want. If we spend more time worrying, we fuel those vibrations to attract more of their kind. If we’re joyous and carefree, we’ll attract a life that’s filled with joy and a lack of things to worry about. Where are you putting your attention today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM creatively attentive!

Become The Goal!

Leave a comment

Don’t just pursue your goal…inhabit it. Wear it, act it, live it, taste it! Get committed—take action! – Gary Ryan Blair

your goal

  • What’s on top of your mind? If it’s a concern or worry, drop it.
  • What do you truly want? If it’s utterly selfish, consider dropping it.
  • What were you designed to do and to be? Ponder that.

become it

Your goal, immediate or long term, brings meaning to life. Once you decide the meaning you’re going to give to your life, its time to jump into action. Action brings clarity and further direction… what are you waiting for??

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my goal!

Sight or Vision?

Leave a comment

Sight is a function of the eyes, but vision is a function of the heart. – Proverbs

seek the higher

There’s the higher and the lower. Sight is from the body (lower) and vision is of the Soul (higher). There’s spirit (higher) and that which flows from it, matter (lower). Directions (lower) are how we get to a destination, and purpose (higher) is why we want to get some where.

vision

What’s your vision for your life? We tend to spend more of our time on daily activities. We have little time or inclination to raise our sights and look beyond what we need to ‘do’ for the short term. Sight is seeing what needs to be done in the immediate future, vision is knowing where life itself, is headed. Sight is more doing, vision is more being. To see we can keep moving, to have vision we must be still.

Daily Affirmation: Today I look beyond what I see.
