Living With Honor

Leave a comment

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. – Socrates 

be our pretensions

Love this quote because it’s not asking us to not be what we pretend to be, but it asks us to consider being what we pretend to be! That would be honorable indeed because we would then be true to our core.

true inside out

So let’s examine our day, our thoughts and our beliefs. What do we pretend to be? Do we pretend to be a good listener to our spouse and kids? Then let’s start listening. Do we pretend to be a conscientious worker, then let’s lose that pretense and make it real. Do we pretend to be devout and religious? Let’s connect with God directly and live by spiritual principles… Find the pretense and make it real!

Sight or Vision?

Leave a comment

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.

Fear Not

Leave a comment

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.

A Lion You Be

Leave a comment

He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the world’s meshes, as a lion from its cage. – Vivekananda

see yourself, how?

Our self-view is a key determinant of what we get out of our life experiences. How do you view yourself? What technique do you use to step back to ascertain your self-view?

a lion

Truly we are lions. We are lions because of our heritage. We come from the infinite. Ponder that.

We are also lions because of our destiny. We grow, slowly, into and towards the source of all that is. Feel the power, be bold!

Where?

…that all you have to do is know where you’re going. The answers will come to you of their own accord.  – Earl Nightingale

where to?

Where art thou headed?

proceed with confidence

Having faith that we’ll be provided with all that we need, including direction and resources, is key. We are like babes in the wilderness, there’s not that much we can do to protect ourselves. So what do we do? We keep trekking forward, believing that all will be well!

Daily Affirmation: Today I move forward in faith.
