Why It’s All A Gift!

Leave a comment

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

small picture

We’re head-deep into maya, or what we may call the ‘small picture’. Our view and experience is extremely circumscribed. We’re boxed in by our culture, our country, our gender, our thoughts (assumptions/biases) and by Life itself.

big picture

Only by glimpsing the big picture can we hope to feel better about all that goes on in our lives and around the world. That glimpse is more easily caught when we believe in an intelligence in whom we have faith. Faith and hope are the vehicles which can bring us peace in the current moment… Once we find that peace then healing (of any sort) can start to take place.

How To Deal With Trouble…

Leave a comment

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence. – Og Mandino

blessed

Trouble hits us often. If it doesn’t we’re adept at creating some. We forever compare self to others and easily find ways to not be happy. What would happen if we spent more time dwelling on the positive, the true, the good and the beautiful? How would our lives change?

3rd Basic Technique to ‘Cultivate a Mental Attitude that will Bring You Peace and Happiness’ : Count your blessings — not your troubles..

We must focus on the positive for two main reasons! It makes us feel good right now and it raises our vibrations so that we attract what’s best for us. Let’s remember to overwhelmingly underscore the value our unique selves bring to world. We are God’s offspring and are here for good. We never die and true happiness is our birthright.

How To Understand Life…

Leave a comment

If you do not know how to explain life you need only relax and let True Life explain itself to you. – Vernon Howard

the big questions

Why do we exist? What is Life all about? What part do we play here? Where are we headed? How can we be happy? What’s the best way to live?

q & a

We ask and Life will respond. Any question asked earnestly and with humility will be answered if we’re patient and open minded. We shouldn’t come from the perspective that we know our way around and can figure everything out. A ‘know it all’ attitude keeps us from the Truth. We must be open enough to see what’s being revealed. And revealed it must be. We are the creator’s offspring and are born with innumerable privileges. We refuse to realize what we have. The trick is to ask and then observe…

Why We Must Be Gentle…

Leave a comment

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.  – Mahatma Gandhi

others

We must not lose faith in anyone around us. We’re all diamonds in the rough and still have a lot of polishing to endure. Until we emerge brilliant we ought to be patient with the other sparklers around us!

us

This principle applies to us foremost. Do we feel disheartened when we fail to live up to our own high standards? Does that lead to giving up on our efforts? Do we excoriate ourselves often? Can we cut our own self some slack? It’s time we became gentle towards self so that we can then be gentle towards all others…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM gentle inwards and outwards!

What Do We Constantly Give Out?

Leave a comment

You are always getting back the essence of what you are giving.  – Abraham

vibrations

What vibrations do we emit? Are we fearful? Jealous? Insecure? Feel poor? Or are we happy, fulfilled and content? How do we view others? Do we appreciate them or focus on finding their faults? Are we thankful for what we have already? How do we show up everyday?

awareness

Becoming aware of what vibrations we’re generating is the surest way to ensure our happiness now and later. Once we’re aware of our attitude and disposition we can assert control over our present. We then automatically design our future!

How To Handle Ingratitude…

Leave a comment

An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they come from. – Timothy Dexter

ingratitude

We suffer because of our expectations of others. We expect others to be thankful for all that we do for them. Are they always thankful? Of course not. So what should we do? How can we protect our own sanity?

life principles
