How Not To Resist Life…

Leave a comment

Life changes for the better when we realize that we don’t have to know everything and we don’t have to pretend we do. – Simon Sinek

know it all

We strut around as people who know it all. If you have a question we can answer it for you! If you don’t know the right answer we can correct you. Unfortunately this pose hurts us more than it helps…

no pretensions

What if we took the opposite tack? That we don’t know much, others will give us the answer, the Universe will lead us forward and that all is well…

Now suddenly the burden is off our shoulders. People like us more. Delicious ‘coincidences’ start to occur. And Life provides all the clues and answers we need. This way of being is the Natural way and it really works, let’s try it today!

How To Be Big!

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion!  – Rumi (the untold story)

small?

We’re often afraid of life itself. We go about protecting our turf. We care too much about our reputation. We’re not adventurous enough. We don’t act like God’s kids…

we’re the universe

The Universe, God, finds expansion through us. It creates via us. He expresses through our life. If we’re small so is he. We must expand, joyously, without reservation and fearlessly! It’s our birth-right-responsibility!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM creative beyond self-imposed limits!!

You make the big time where you are!  – Frosty Westering

frosty

I met Brad Westering last week at Garfield High School. Somehow we ended up discussing a great man, Frosty, Brad’s dad. Frosty died last month and I realized while chatting with Brad that he was one of the most ‘alive’ people while he walked this planet. Read his obituary.

“Did you know one of the most remarkable American coaches died on Friday?

…and while he lived, oh boy, was he alive.”

the big time!

We all want to be happy. But happiness is not a destination, the wise say, it’s the journey itself. With his actions Frosty made it abundantly clear that if we can’t make the most of where we are then we’ll never make it. What sage advice from a sage like person!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM making it big right here!.

Our vocation is not just a job. It’s something much grander than that. It’s our Life Purpose. We’ll never be fulfilled if we don’t discover that which we were made to be so that we could serve others…

The world’s never needed us more. Within our minds and hearts reside the perfect solutions to the myriad needs of our society. Will we rise to the challenge?

How To Live A Miraculous Life!

Leave a comment

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.  – Albert Einstein

routine

Our routine ways cause us to live a very routine life. One that begs for excitement and new things. Which is why we yearn for vacations, fun times and want to buy new stuff. Our daily existence becomes very ordinary.

extraordinary

There is another way to live. One where each moment and each breath is brand new. One in which we never get bored. Where we welcome each moment. And where life is fully embraced because each moment truly is a miracle. Daily life then becomes extraordinary…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM living an extraordinary existence!

What Comes First?

Leave a comment

The money isn’t the means to the happy life. The happy life is the means to the money. – Abraham

money

Most of us seek more money and wealth. It’s our means to be more secure, less afraid and to do with life what we please. Fame and fortune is what we all secretly want.

loa

The Law Of Attraction states that we ought to dream about and visualize what we want. It also states that these dreams will all come true as long as we don’t construct psychological barriers against them. These barriers consist of opposing views and beliefs that are mostly sub-conscious ideas. The ideal way to overcome these barriers is to feel good right now. If we can dwell on pleasant thoughts and focus on being happy now then everything else will fall into place. Let’s have faith, let’s be happy, now.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy NOW!
