Why We Must Go Crazy…

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.  – Roald Dahl

nonsense!

Let’s stop being uptight. Let’s loosen up! Let’s go a bit crazy, just like kids do, at least once in a while! Life is meant to have fun! Let’s do it!!

creativity

By going crazy we expand our horizons, we see things from a different perspective and we loosen things up a bit! We can more easily tap into our own wellspring of creativity. We’ll also release some stress. What’s stopping us??

How We Hurt Self…

No man is hurt but by himself.  – Diogenes

suffering

When we suffer we do so of our own accord. Tragedies aside, we choose our mood, temperament, perspective, assumptions, thoughts, our actions and therefore design our daily well-being.

habitual thinking

Like physical habits we generally think habitually. Catching self as we cruise down the well travelled lanes of thought is important. Such awareness allows us to think afresh and be childlike!

What Should We Do Next?

The fool wonders, the wise man asks. – Benjamin Disraeli

ask & observe

We often ask ourselves; what should I do next? That’s a great step forward, we must ask first. What then? Often we keep asking and nothing seems to happen? What’s going on? Nothing seems to happen because we may be looking for a particular answer… We need to be free of any expectations, and once we’re free, we must observe!

Look for signs from the Universe. They come to us in an infinite variety of ways, through people, situations, inanimate objects etc… Observation is key!

now act…

Once we observe something that appears to be a sign lets take the action that’s called for. If we do; more signs will appear, they always do. We’re now actively on our journey of self and Universe discovery!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM asking and acting!

Why We Must Author Our Lives…

The rest of our life is unwritten.  – Namaste Now!

choose

We can choose to direct the remainder of our lives. We are authors of our experience to a large extent. To the degree that we believe and accept this principle will we impact our lives through our thinking and intentions.

adventure

Life is a greater adventure when we realize how much of our lives we hold in our hands. What will we choose? What will we create? And to what end? As we think through such questions we may wonder about the role ‘God’ plays in our adventure. God is the master architect of this adventure. We are fellow project managers with a purview over our own domains. To the extent that we participate in the overall march of events we will experience greater fulfillment. The Universe is infinitely creative and will take full advantage of whatever we venture to undertake!

Quotes - 2012

How To Be Original!

It is the never-ceasing questioning of things as they are which makes us original authors. – Vernon Howard

programmed

Are we living a programmed life? Do we react the same way every time? Do we act predictably when our emotional buttons are pushed? How are we machine-like rather than human?

be original!

We can reclaim our originality by becoming more aware. We can recognize when we’re attempting to control others by throwing a tantrum; or when we’re being controlled by others who can’t handle the way we think or the way we are. By stopping and questioning what’s going on, by attempting to understand what’s ‘real’ and by being bold enough to act as necessary we’re being ‘original’. We unleash our creative self and we stop living hypnotic lives…

Why We Must Create!

We were created to create, not to react!  – Neale Donald Walsch

react

We mostly react our way through life. We wait for things to happen. We bury our heads in the sand. We let things get out of hand. We don’t think that we are creators. We don’t think we’re worthy enough to be children of God!

create

But we are the offspring of the Creator, we do spring from the very bosom of the Universe and we are much more than we imagine. We must awaken to our heritage and our inheritance, we must love boldly, think like creative children and live without abandon! Let’s create beauty all around us, in our relationships and in everything that we attempt! Are we up-to the challenge?

How To Improve Character…

 

inherited urges

We are animals who are becoming children of God. We battle animalistic urges daily. Whether it has to do with an appetite, anger or jealousy, we must assert control!

moral character

The way we react to life and events is akin to using the chisel on a sculpture. That sculpture, a masterpiece, is us. That’s how we artistically design our lives. Are we willing to take on that responsibility?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a designer of my moral nature!
