What Else?

Take advantage of the ambiguity in the world. Look at something and think what else it might be.  – Roger von Oech

self-hypnosis

We go about hypnotized. We’re lost in our thoughts, we even forget we breathe and seldom do we watch where are our feet tread. Consequently we cannot take full advantage of our life situation.

think differently

We must live in the moment; when we do that we can be fully awake and alive! Our power of observation becomes keener, we notice more and can make grander connections. We become more aware of people and the subtle messages they send. We can be more creative with things and relationships. Life is then truly fulfilling and adventurous!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM fully engaged.

Quotes - 2010

Receiving Help

We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey no one can take for us or spare us. –Marcel Proust

our journey

It’s true that no one can live our life for us even if we wanted that. That surely is part of the grand purpose of our existence. Experiencing life in our unique ways, becoming wiser, adding to God’s own experience in this eternal adventure that’s afoot, is some of the journey…

ask and receive

Turns out that even though we must live it ourselves and make our own decisions, help is available. The Universe is truly a synchronistic playground. We play, we fumble, we learn, we grow and we find our way. Just like children, we get help when we ask for it. Ask, and thou shall receive. That utterance by Jesus is literally true. What kind of help will we seek today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I ask for the help I need.

Quotes - 2010

Believe, You Must

Skywalker: "I don’t believe it".
Yoda: "That, is why you failed".

 

belief expands

Ok so why does believing first, work? When we believe, when we have faith, we expand our mind and its horizons. It’s like studying a map before venturing on a mountain adventure. We know in advance that a path exists or is possible and that does the trick. When possibility doesn’t exist in our minds, we often don’t see it even when staring at it.

growth and expansion

We grow only when we have faith and belief. The child when learning to walk will put her foot forward even though she has never walked or has already failed at previous attempts. Something inside her tells her, it’s possible… When something becomes possible in our mind, the Universe swings into action. It’s God’s purpose to further creation, through us, in our unique ways…

Daily Affirmation: Today I embrace possibilities.

Thoughts R Us!

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!

Quotes - 2010, Stillness

Sight or Vision?

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.

Quotes - 2010

You Are Not a Formula!

Always in motion is the future – Master Yoda

formulas

We all seek formulas in life. Examples of formulas may be:

  • Routines that we build into our daily lives
  • Special prayers that are repeated to effect changes
  • Superstitions that are employed
  • Special spiritual or life approaches that appear to work

Formulas do work sometime; especially for the short term and for machine oriented situations. We are not machines though.

in motion

Life, and the future, is ever in motion. Formulas bind and restrict. How can we stay flexible? How can we dynamically adapt to life? How can we move with the waves of life, ever towards greater fulfillment and happiness?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM flexible in thought, word and action!
