Rule # 6

Leave a comment

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It’s jolted by every pebble on the road. – Henry Ward Beecher

build the springs

We must have our own unique life philosophies to handle life’s jolts. The best one is Rule #6. Don’t take yourself or life too seriously, figure out a way to lighten up and enjoy yourself. How can you remind yourself of Rule #6, often?

seek joy

Joy can only come from a light-hearted approach to life. It can only come when life and its circumstances are composed of fun and frolic. How do you seek joy in your life?

Daily Affirmation: Today I am joy. I am fun itself. I have a thick skin!

Direction creates

Leave a comment

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going. – Napoleon Hill

know it or just act

Knowing who you are and where you’re going is a very powerful statement to the Universe. A strong will, a steady mind and a firm decision creates waves and parts the way. Serendipity springs into action and you start to sail into propitious situations. Even acting the part works, try it!

no wrong decision

Know that in the eternal scheme of things there’s no worldly decision you can make that is wrong. If it’s ‘wrong’ according to you and others; then you’ll learn from that action. If it’s ‘right’ then you’ll reap its benefits. So don’t hesitate, decide and act…

Daily Affirmation: Today I am decisive. I will move to create momentum!

Life Is Good!

Leave a comment

Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy. – Abraham Joshua Heschel

we’re blessed

We’re blessed because we live. Compare your lot, whenever in doubt or whenever you’re sulking. In most comparisons you’ll come up better. Even if you don’t, remind yourself, ‘this too shall pass’, look forward with positive expectation instead.

enjoy

Life is a gift, we must enjoy it. We must be happy. Which means we can’t lose any moments in life  being sad, feeling hurt or not talking to someone. Rejoice in who and what you are, in what you have and in what you’ll yet be!

Daily Affirmation: I am Life. I rejoice in all that I am and have, thank you!

Daily Adventure

Leave a comment

Adventure isn’t hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply… – John Amatt

always seeking adventure

We’re born seeking adventure. Adventure springs from our curious nature. We’re curious as babies because we want to poke our fingers into everything. Slowly we tend to lose our innocent curiosity and our spirit of adventure transforms itself into the desire to acquire. We want to acquire new things, relationships and experiences because we seek that which is new or that which is different, what we seek is adventure.

an adventure POV (point-of-view)

How can we stay interested in daily life? It can only be done if we view each day, our normally mundane day, as a brand new one! That’s when our ‘adventure POV’ can kick in, and we can enjoy life fully. We seek adventure, keep that in mind, as you pursue your day. How does your attitude, your way of looking, help you embrace adventure?

Daily Affirmation: I am adventure. Today I see life creatively, I enjoy every moment.

Hoping For…

Leave a comment

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. – Epicurus

desire

Desire is a double-edged sword. It can lead us to what we truly need and will find fulfilling. Or it simply prolongs the torture, the torture of the never-ending quest to acquire. Are we hoping for what we already have? When you have a desire, pay attention, what deeper need are you trying to fulfill?

now

What we have now or what we are now, is the result of all our thoughts and work from the past. The present moment is all important, that’s all there is.

Be here, now. Enjoy.

Daily Affirmation: I am here, now. I have now, all I have dreamed of.

Do To Others, Do Unto Yourself

Leave a comment

He that does good to another does good also to himself. – Seneca

the fallacy

We sometimes live a fallacy that when we have a tiff with someone it’s ok to not make up and just break the chord. Actually not making up and clearing the air hurts us more. The resentment and the negativity does quite a number on us, physically, mentally and spiritually.

right action

The reverse is true of course. Any good that we do, to others, we do to ourselves. How you might ask? It’s in the vibrations we create, we generate positive vibrations when we do good, the same vibrations affect us too.

Daily Affirmation: Today I am good. In my goodness, I create positivity that impacts one and all.
