Feeling Our Way To Mastery…

Leave a comment

You can always change how you feel, and you can always feel whatever you like.  – The Universe

feeling

Feelings define our current state of being. How are we feeling right now? Where does this feeling reside? Where does it reside in our mental and our physical body? How would we rather be?

take ownership

What faculty is it that’s evaluating this ‘feeling’? This very faculty is key to retaining authorship of our feelings and emotions. This faculty points to our center. From the vantage point of this ‘center’ we can claim ownership and mastery of our feelings. We can decide to focus on whatever we please. We can craft the thoughts that’ll serve us…

Why It’s Not Rocket Science…

Don’t let habit tell you what to do. Don’t let the past control your thinking. Accept the offer of newness in the now. Just accept. – Vernon Howard

a story from Vernon

A good and thoughtful king offered a ride in his carriage to a weary traveler on the road. Having been treated badly by evil kings, the traveler hesitantly asked, ‘Sir, what must I give in return?’ The understanding king replied, ‘Just one thing. Your acceptance of the offer.’

life artists, ‘just accept’

We are artists that paint and craft our own lives. We design and control our reactions. Let’s banish our cynicism and be more trusting of others and of Life itself. Let’s accept the obvious and seize control over our own lives by becoming more aware and accepting…

Why We Must Dream…

Leave a comment

…that you’ve got to have a dream if you want to have a dream come true.  – Denis Waitley

conflicting thoughts

Why do we hold back on dreaming? We are afraid to dream big dreams because we’re afraid to achieve the dream itself or fear that the dream will change our current lives too much! What a contradiction! We think we’re truly not capable of achieving many of our dreams which is why we don’t dwell on a particular dream for too long! Let’s examine our thinking habits and beliefs to uncover what hold’s us back…

dream!

If we can dream without hesitation and just be aware of why we hesitate then we can soar! Let’s shed our reservations and jump into waters unknown, confident that we’ll emerge stronger even if the result isn’t what we dreamed. God knows our heart and all other hearts intimately well. The eternal tapestry that he’s weaving will be beautiful and will only be more beautiful if we dream more dreams…

Leave a comment

A real leader will always follow. – Dale Carnegie

saving face…

We all have a tendency to save our own face. What if we let others save theirs’? What will that do to their self-confidence? How will they view us? What better way to build a great relationship? Let’s truly trust someone else by helping save their face…

life principles

26th Dale Carnegie Principle: Let the other person save face..

Here’s a story from the book:

Years ago the General Electric Company was faced with the delicate task of removing Charles Steinmetz from the head of a department. Steinmetz, a genius of the first magnitude when it came to electricity, was a failure as the head of the calculating department. Yet the company didn’t dare offend the man. He was indispensable – and highly sensitive. So they gave him a new title. They made him Consulting Engineer of the General Electric Company – a new title for work he was already doing -and let someone else head up the department.
Steinmetz was happy.
So were the officers of G.E. They had gently maneuvered their most temperamental star, and they had done it without a storm – by letting him save face.

Why We Must Be ‘Frisky’!

Leave a comment

Your Inner Being is just like your frisky two-year old who is eager for life experience. – Abraham

inner being

There resides within us an essence of All That Is. That infinite sparkle desires to express itself as us. It’s up to us if we’ll let that happen. It’s up to our ego if we’ll allow it. Will we allow the Creator expression through us?

frisky!

The way we allow it is by being trusting, faithful and playful. Worry or fear has no place in such a life. We live as though all’s well and all will be well. We go about discovering, creating and enjoying the life that we co-create with Divine Intelligence. Are we up to it?

The Most Important Thing!

Leave a comment

… it is only the feeling of vulnerability that ever puts you into a vibrational harmony with that which you fear. When you realize that by working to achieve your feeling of Well-being, it is then impossible for you to ever rendezvous with anything other than Well-being — that is the only place that freedom will ever be. – Abraham

joy = freedom

We must rejoice! We must appreciate all that we have and are. By doing that we’re achieving the most important thing. Why is that?

vibration

When we move in joy we’re at a very high emotional/thought level. From that place we will have the best:

  • Relationships because we don’t demand anything from anyone else. And to stay joyous we must be selfless and helpful.
  • Health because a joyous person attracts the best health possible.
  • Life in general because nothing but goodness will come our way!

When unsavory events do cross our paths, we’ll be well prepared to deal with them. How’s that possible?

To be ever joyous we have be unafraid, we have to realize that we live in a very friendly universe and know that an intelligence far greater than us is looking after us!

Why Angels Surround Us!

To accept the guidance of a seraphim rarely means attaining a life of ease. In following this leading you are sure to encounter, and if you have the courage, to traverse, the rugged hills of moral choosing and spiritual progress.  – The Urantia Papers

meaningful life

I’m enjoying reading a very touching book by Mary C. Neal M.D. ‘To Heaven And Back’ these days. Mary shares numerous events from her life where the hand-of-God is very evident. She ‘dies’ during a kayaking accident in Chile and experiences first-hand what we all will probably experience sooner or later. God and his angelic helpers are constantly around us! They’re forever working to make life more meaningful to us. Their involvement in our lives becomes more focused when we invite God into our lives.

rejoice, pray and thank!

Soon after her accident Mary tries to read a Gideon Bible at the hospital. Her vision is very blurry though so she’s unable to read any words on the pages. As she thumbs through some of the pages she’s astonished to notice that the following 3 quotes stand out very clearly:

  • “Rejoice always.” —1 Thessalonians 5:16 (ESV)
  • “Pray without ceasing.” —1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV)
  • “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God’s in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV)

What great advice for all of us! Mary’s book is highly recommended if we’re looking to be comforted about God’s involvement in our daily lives!

Daily Affirmation: Today I acknowledge my angelic helpers, thank you!!
