Begin Something New…

The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings. – Dave Weinbaum

you are already creative

We hesitate to move forward with our great ideas because we don’t trust our selves. We don’t think we’re creative; we stymie our future by thinking less of our selves. Give your self permission to think and know that you were born creative. And with that creative mindset figure out…

your next step

Imagine you’re that artist you want to be, the business magnate in the making! With such a perspective, what would you do next? Taking those small, definitive steps daily, will surely get you to a place far better than if you continue to live your life in a humdrum fashion.

Come on, get up, take that first step in the journey of a thousand miles, you’re a capable, effective and creative child of the Universe, there’s no stopping you!

Creation comes from imagination…

Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions. – Albert Einstein

Did he say that?

Albert Einstein was a very interesting guy. And he lived the power of thoughts. He also once said "The only real valuable thing is intuition”. How does one cultivate intuition?

What it means for us

Imagine often, imagine the best, imagine in detail and color, live the emotion of that imagination and then leave the rest for the Universal machine to deliver to you. That’s essentially how the Law of Attraction works. Understand and utilize it! Pick up positive intuitive ideas and run with them, those are thoughts that the Universal Intelligence provides as clues to us.

Life is an adventure!

Life is either a great adventure or nothing. – Helen Keller

How is life for you?

Helen’s is a beautiful thought because life cannot be meaningful, fulfilling or fun unless it’s an adventure. When it’s not an adventure life is oppressive, tiresome, never-ending and scary.

It’s what you make it.

You make it with your essential beliefs about life and your attitude. Do you believe that life is fair? Do you think you reap what you sow? Do you think anything is possible in life and that you can achieve anything you put your mind to?

The Universe responds in like terms. Your assumptions about life create the life you’re living, one of your own choosing.

If you don’t like what you live or what you see around you, look within! So grab this moment, be curious, feel wondrous, act silly and giggle.

Love.

Quotes - 2009

Open thy self…

Open all your pores and bathe in all the tides of nature. – Henry David Thoreau

Open up to the Universe!

To enjoy daily life we must get out of our mind that’s constantly chattering away. We must move away from the constant attention we put on our own selves. And the way to do that is to look without and to open ourselves to the wonders and beauty out there!

How will you do it?

Most of the time we’re in our mind/brain, thinking. See with your heart instead, actually put your attention on the heart and experience the world that way. Notice the bright yellow of a daffodil or the deep blue of the sky; open your heart while you do that, feel the feeling of that. Enjoy the sweet aroma of the crisp Autumn air. Employ all your senses as fully as possible. That’s the trick!

Creativity through flexibility…

Be clear about your goal but be flexible about the process of achieving it. – Brian Tracy

We must know where we want to go. With our selves, family, our work and even our being. Why with our being? Because doing goals are different from being goals. A doing goal is like: I want to be able to do 50 pushups daily within 3 months. A being goal example is: I want to not get irritated every time my kids want my attention.

With our goals defined; we ought to stay flexible about the process, the how! Why you ask? For 2 reasons:

  1. By staying flexible, you stay open minded to other interesting ways to get to your goal. You are more likely to notice signals that Life sends your way!
  2. You allow the Universe to play its role in helping you achieve your goals. If you define the specific steps for your success the Universal Mind may not be able help because your plans don’t match with the grander plans afoot.

Your job is to create. Create in your mind first, stay flexible, notice the signs, take action, presto!

Be silly…

If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done. – Ludwig Wittgenstein

Being silly is all about being playful. Play leads to creativity. Creativity occurs more readily in the fertile soil that silliness and play create!

It appears that God him/herself created it all in an amazing never ending playful burst. Which is reason enough for us to do the same thing. Reason enough to never worry about life, but instead to spend the eternal Now moment in love, play and endless fun!

How silly are you?

The creative act…

The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality overcomes everything. – George Lois

What is creativity? Creativity comes from an original thought and takes the shape of seeing Beauty in a new way, expressing Truth as no one else has and experiencing Goodness in unique ways.

How can one be creative? By not being a slave to habit; especially not a slave to habitual thinking.

What’s the way out? See things and people as they are, don’t paint it/them by brushes of thought you’ve always thought about it/them. See it new, see them afresh. Don’t let your habitual thoughts define the rest of your life, be creative instead!
