What Do We Most Want To Feel?

Leave a comment

If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to be so, not because they are rich. – Charles Wagner

seeking wealth?

We all seek wealth, success, recognition, a feeling of accomplishment and much more! What are we truly seeking? What is it that we want to feel? What has been most important to us in our lives?

the feeling

What we’re really seeking is the feeling we get from accomplishing or having the things that we seek. For example we seek wealth to feel important, to feel loved and/or to feel secure. It’s important to understand what is it that we seek to feel. Once we clarify that we’ll know what kinds of goals to set, how to use our core values to set such goals and therefore how to be happy and content as we move through life!

How To Move To Now!

Leave a comment

Move away from the mental how to the spiritual now. – Guy Finley

mental how

We live constantly in our minds. We manufacture about 70,000 thoughts a day! When we’re thinking, we are not in the present moment.

spiritual now

By becoming aware of our thoughts, our breath, our body, our emotions and of what’s going on we can move into the spiritual now. It really is that simple. Takes practice of course. We must build the new muscle. We must breathe with full consciousness. We must understand the movement of thoughts. We ought to know how our emotions get triggered. And we must value being in the present!

What’s Real In Our Lives?

Leave a comment

Have we done anything lately that’s worth remembering? – Questions…

mostly stuff

While all we see around us is real and beautiful, it’s only just stuff. The house is stuff, the car is stuff, the clothes are stuff, the career and the business is also stuff. Time spent figuring our the next purchase or corporate maneuver is likely of no eternal import.

relationship memories

Put people together and sparks begin to fly! And that’s good and bad sparks. That’s the real stuff. The meanings and values that emerge from relationships and engagements is what we’re really here to create. We’re here to create memories. Which is why every interaction with every human being can be a holy experience. What if all life on our planet was lived with that perspective!?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM focused on people not stuff!

What Questions Must I Ask?

Leave a comment

What do I intend to do about that? – Neale Donald Walsch

questions!

Neale calls them the 3 persistent questions and the 4 fundamental questions of life, reproduced below! We started with persistent question #1 here: What Is It That? Fundamental question #4 is presented above.

what next?

This has been a journey in self-enquiry. It’s a journey that can never end because our selves are deeper than we can imagine. We’re a fragment of the divine creator of it all. We have the ability to co-create with God and it’s up to us what perspective we adopt while on this journey. An adventurous and hopeful perspective will serve us well, because All Is Well and it’s never been otherwise. Rejoice and be happy!

THE THREE PERSISTENT QUESTIONS

1. How is it possible that 6.9 billion people can all claim to want the same thing (peace, security, opportunity, prosperity, happiness, and love) and be singularly unable to get it?

2. Is it possible that there is something we do not fully understand about life, the understanding of which would change everything?

3. Is it possible that there is something we do not fully understand about ourselves, about our own life and its purpose, the understanding of which would shift our reality and alter our experience for the better, forever?

THE FOUR FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS OF LIFE

1. Who am I?

2. Where am I?

3. Why am I where I am?

4. What do I intend to do about that?

Daily Affirmation: Today I ask … what’s next for me?

How To Be Anger Free!

Leave a comment

Anger always comes from frustrated expectations. – Elliott Larson

expectations

If there was one thing we could fix that would guarantee our happiness it would have to be our expectations from life, of others and self. We suffer in direct proportion to our expectation from any event. How many movies have we enjoyed when we didn’t expect much from them? How many restaurant experiences have been so-so because we expected more? What about spouses and kids? Are we suffering daily because of what we expect from them?

easier said

It’s all easier said than done of course. So how can we get going on this path? By watching our thoughts, our beliefs and therefore our expectations constantly. If we’re sick and expect the whole extended family to drop everything and tend to us then we’re guaranteeing our disappointment. Instead expect little. One might say that if we expect little from Life we’ll get less from it. That might be true. We might expect a lot from life and not tie our happiness to the outcome in that case. Seek God’s will instead. At the end of the day all we can do is give life our best shot…

How To Have a Happy New Year!

Leave a comment

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. – Edith Lovejoy Pierce

our life is up to us

Let’s throw off the assumptions that chain our lives. Let’s be born again! Resolve to think afresh and anew. We won’t accept limitations that others place upon us. We are creative and unique beings like no other in all time and space! We will claim our uniqueness, stamp life with our signature and relish our personal impact!

each day, each year, is brand new

Each moment we breathe is like no other before it. Each day is new. We can’t let the failures of the past hold us back. We will start creating our future life, today, NOW!

Daily Affirmation: 2012 will be my best year yet!!
