Who’s The Truest Friend Of All?

A friend-in-truth is one who does not expect you to behave better than your present consciousness allows. – Vernon Howard

understanding

Understanding where others come from, what drives them, what they believe and what’s most important to them is the greatest skill we can acquire! In the gift of understanding others lies our own happiness. Let’s become fully available to those who we rub shoulders with..

our gift

The most precious gift we can bestow is one of presence and understanding. When we understand the other, we can know that they too are a magnificent child of God and that they operate within the confines of their consciousness. This allows us to be fully accepting of them and such a genuine approach gives them greater permission to be who they are. The relationship can only deepen now which paves way for the unlimited growth of everyone involved…

How To Master Life!

The process of Mastery, then, is one of acceptance. It is a quiet embracing of what is. It is a non-resistance. It is a gentle walking into the moment, knowing that it holds for us, always, what is best for us [in] all ways. – Neale Donald Walsch

one answer

If there was ever one answer to the question, ‘How should one live daily’, it would be: ‘Embrace what is’…

let it be = mastery

We must recognize what is and embrace it fully. Then, while being led by Spirit, we can do all that might be necessary and possible. It’s like swimming down the river, flowing with it, without thrashing about, gently changing course towards one edge or the other… In this state we’re peaceful and we don’t compare our progress with any other swimmer because we know that the river itself is headed to the Ocean…

What Do We Prioritize?

An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can’t buy that inch of time with an inch of gold.  – Chinese Proverbs

most important?

What do we hold most important? What do our daily actions tell us about what’s most important to us? Are the two (our values & actions) congruent with each other? If not why? What are the gaps? What’s holding us back?

action

Once we know our values (most important to us) we must act. We must actualize those values into our lives. We must experience them. If family’s most important, as an example, then let’s:

  • Show that by spending more time with family
  • Prove it by being completely present with them
  • Express it by loving them unconditionally

What Makes A Strong Character?

…the measure of your human strength of character is your ability to resist the holding of grudges and your capacity to withstand brooding in the face of deep sorrow.  – The Urantia Papers, (156:5.17)

relationships

The biggest problem building and repairing relationships has to do with our holding of grudges and resentments. How often do we behave like little kids, getting mad with others and with life? How long do we stay in such moods? When do we plan to stop throwing these tantrums Smile?

life is short

Life is extremely short. We get reminded of this reality quite often. Notice the person who died suddenly leaving her family behind. Also notice folks who are terminally ill. Life on this planet is not guaranteed. The only thing we can guarantee is our own attitude towards life. We can only control our own thoughts. When we forgive others, life and our selves, we feel better and buoyant!  When we let go of resentments we free ourselves and give self full permission to live! We end up with healthier minds and bodies. We are happier! What’s stopping us??

How To Guarantee Happiness!

2 Comments

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don’t over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness. – Leo F. Buscaglia

expectation

You know and I know that our expectations of others are rarely realized! Ever wonder why? That’s not brain surgery either. We are us and they are them. They are their own people, they’re unique, they think differently and view the world quite differently. No wonder they deliver actions quite differently from what we expect! So what to do?

become real

Be real with self first. Know that we must work on self. Be forgiving when others don’t deliver as expected, they’re on their own journey. Cut them some slack, actually cut them infinite slack (the way to peace!)…

Be real with them. Genuinely love them, truly listen to them and without fear share self with them. If they don’t respond as expected (!), wait patiently, continue working on self!!

You Are Perfect Love!

You have so little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect love is in you, and so you seek without for what you cannot find within. – A Course in Miracles

who are we?

If there’s a God, if there’s Universal Intelligence, then that which created us supports us, keeps us safe, loves us, guides us, inspires us and leads us forward…. A spark from God is at our core. Our challenge is to seek that spark; the first step in that direction is to accept that such a thing is possible…And that is Faith.

love r us

As we discover the center from which we emanate, we realize that love is the very currency of this Universe. We can choose love or we can choose fear at any juncture, those are our only 2 choices. Let’s choose the way of love, acceptance, forgiveness, peace, adventure and joy!!

How To Escape Hell…

May those whose hell it is to hate and hurt be turned into lovers bringing flowers. – Shantideva

hell

It’s hell when…

  • We have no control over the negativity of our thoughts
  • We aren’t loved or believe that we aren’t loved
  • We flounder about not knowing where life is heading

We choose whether we live in this kind of hell; it’s up to us. There is a way out…

love

The way out is through love. If we’re unable to feel love in our being it’ll be hard for us to make the right decision about important matters. To enjoy the love that pervades this Universe we may do the following:

  • Forgive: We must forgive everyone and everything. Truly forgive any wrongs, real or otherwise, done to us
  • Allow: Once we forgive we can take the next step. We must make the decision to allow the divine to express itself through us
  • Receive: Then all we have to do is be still and receive. Divine intelligence does the rest. Love flows into us and expects expression
  • Express: We must express that which we receive. Love (God) desires expression through us. We must give it away to grow it and to keep experiencing it.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a weapon of love…
