How To Use Our Imagination!

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination.  – Mary Oliver

imagination

Our thoughts and how we think are the tools we need to design our lives as well as our days. If we can be fully present and really observe what goes on around us, we can never be bored. In that state of ‘presence’, when our heart becomes our eyes, we can be effusively creative.

affirmations

Today I AM experiencing life through my heart. My heart takes over my brain, and I experience life anew!

Are We Creative?

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties. – Erich Fromm

creative?

Don’t think you’re creative? Any thing that we do in our own unique way and is beautiful or good, whether it’s a piece of art or an artful way we converse or understand others, is being creative! Most of us, knowingly or unknowingly convince ourselves that we’re not creative, the truth is quite the opposite, give self some credit!

We can be more creative. Especially when we stay more in the moment (not overcome by the chatter inside the mind), playful and are not ruled by our biases and expectations. Our biases, expectations, assumptions and certainties about anything limits our creativity.

affirmations

Today I AM creative because I was born that way. I AM constantly creative because I AM open-minded and can flow in the moment. Great ideas come to me and I can easily make amazing connections between things. I AM getting more creative by the day!

Why Be A Butterfly?

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. – Rabindranath Tagore

how do we live?

Straddled by thoughts and resentments of the past? Or buried by anxious thoughts of the future? Both? There has to be a better way! Be like a butterfly!

We are beautiful, let’s recognize that beauty and then find and appreciate beauty all around us, just like a butterfly! Flutter about in total delight, stay in the moment, smell roses and make nectar out of all that’s beautiful around. Forgive the past (including the personalities) and worry not about the future, it’ll take care of itself!

affirmations

Today I AM a butterfly. I care not for yesterday, nor do I think of the morrow. I have faith, I choose the beautiful and the sweet. My life is delightful!!

Who’s In Charge?

The older I get, the surer I am that I’m not running the show.  – Leonard Cohen

universal intelligence

There’s a greater intelligence, there’s a source from which all things, concepts, values, life and meaning proceed. At certain times of our lives or even during the course of a day, we can feel it, we can sense the underpinning of it all.

the trick

    The trick is to recognize that power, realize that it runs through us and everyone else. Consciously accept it and allow it a free run in our life. Application of faith will be necessary initially. Things start to happen when we do that. Let’s try it.
