Every moment can be more wonderful than the moment before. – Abraham

our choice

We make a choice each moment. The choice is to be loving, hopeful, positive or to take an opposite stance. Being loving and hopeful makes us feel good.

Never underestimate people’s ability to misinterpret you.  – Magnus Berggren

our skin

Johan Magnusson, one heck of a dynamic personality, was leading a fun class a couple days ago, where he displayed the above quote from his mentor!

We all wear unique life-lenses. Which is why no one can fully understand anyone else. Also why misunderstandings between people are commonplace.

Why We’re Responsible…

Leave a comment

We are punished by our wrongness, not for it. – Vernon Howard

wrongness

What is wrongness? It’s incorrect thinking. Faulty assumptions. Mistaken beliefs. It’s our inability to get along with others because of our expectations of them. It’s also when we easily get disappointed. Or forget our divine heritage. Wrongness is what keeps us from being truly happy.

our thinking

Our happiness is directly affected by the quality of our thinking and the actions we take based on that thinking. We aren’t punished by divinity but by the universal laws that we might break. Ultimately we alone are responsible for our well-being.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM aware that I’m responsible!

I haven’t the slightest idea how to change people, but I still keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out.  – David Sedaris

you change

We want to change others! Whenever we make an overt or covert attempt to do that, we ensure that the recipient of our advice clams up on us. If we want to be sure that our advice isn’t heard, we should give more of it!

i change

While it’s a cliché it’s forever true that we can only change self. When we’re successful at changing self we might then inspire others to change. It’s always all about us, it’s never about others.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM going to change!

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief.
