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?

Become The Goal!

Don’t just pursue your goal…inhabit it. Wear it, act it, live it, taste it! Get committed—take action! – Gary Ryan Blair

your goal

  • What’s on top of your mind? If it’s a concern or worry, drop it.
  • What do you truly want? If it’s utterly selfish, consider dropping it.
  • What were you designed to do and to be? Ponder that.

become it

Your goal, immediate or long term, brings meaning to life. Once you decide the meaning you’re going to give to your life, its time to jump into action. Action brings clarity and further direction… what are you waiting for??

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.

Size matters not.Master Yoda

yoda a role model is

Yoda the Jedi Master in the Star Wars series of movies is a diminutive fellow who understands and channels the good side of the ‘force’. In the movie he’s a prime example of the fact that size does not matter! Neither does wealth, influence or stature, in an ultimate sense.

what matters

You do.

As do others.

Eternally…

Ponder that…

Gita: The Joy Within

2.55 When a man surrenders all desires that come to the heart and by the grace of God finds the joy of God, then his soul has indeed found peace.The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2)

let it be

If there’s one mantra that works most of the time it is ‘Let it be’. The directive above allows us to find peace. Desires may not be bad, however they do keep us from discovering peace, now.

the joy of God

When we surrender desires; the desire to do something, be something or acquire something, our thoughts can begin to settle down. Our minds slowly become still. God and his joy can be experienced when that stillness is discovered. Try it, just 5 minutes morn & eve, you won’t be disappointed…

Daily Affirmation: Today I let be.

No End …

There is no end to you; there is no end to me; because there is no end to Him.  -  a teacher

our origin

God thought us up. We take from his consciousness, his creativity and his dreams! That’s the way we’re made in God’s image. We are truly children of God, and brothers/sisters to each other.

never ending story, it is

We’re meant to last forever. Rejoice, we’re watched and ultimately safe, abandon all worry and fear, rest easy. Life is good…

Daily Affirmation: Today and forever I AM!

Fear Not

My God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me, I cannot know for certain where it will end … but I will not fear, for you are ever with me.Thomas Merton

the road ahead

How often do we fret about what can go wrong? How often do we fear the future? Let’s become aware of when we do this. Awareness casts the limelight on this tendency, it allows us to reflect on the eternal now and on our constant companion.

our constant companion

Truly, God is with us, at all times and in innumerable ways. When we accept this Universe fact in faith, it becomes real, it becomes more palpable. The fear flees, we’re at peace. We know it when we experience it. The experience is not forthcoming if we don’t invite it.

Daily Affirmation: Today I walk with God.
