Secret Of The Universe

the secret

Here’s the biggest secret. You can be most happy and successful if you believe and you practice that:

  • The person you’re with at any moment, might provide you with that which you most need. That could be words of advice, clues about something or simply direction for your life. That person might reveal the ‘Secret of the Universe’ to you, so listen deeply.
  • The situation or experience you’re living through is exactly what is necessary for you. Pay attention, what you most need will come out of what’s going on in your life right now.

If you live as though the person you talk to or the situation you’re living through will reveal the biggest secret of the Universe; you will achieve unending success of the highest order.

a daily day?

Are you having a daily kind of a day? In other words are a lot of your days similar to one another? Why is that? For those who haven’t seen the movie, ‘The Ground Hog Day‘ was a comedy in which Bill Murray (as Phil) keeps waking up to the same day over and over again, the same events happen to him repeatedly, imagine that!

To each moment in time. Each moment in time is unique, never was, never will be again. What kind of perspective will help you get over the tyranny of a ‘Ground Hog Day’?

Direction creates

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going.Napoleon Hill

know it or just act

Knowing who you are and where you’re going is a very powerful statement to the Universe. A strong will, a steady mind and a firm decision creates waves and parts the way. Serendipity springs into action and you start to sail into propitious situations. Even acting the part works, try it!

no wrong decision

Know that in the eternal scheme of things there’s no worldly decision you can make that is wrong. If it’s ‘wrong’ according to you and others; then you’ll learn from that action. If it’s ‘right’ then you’ll reap its benefits. So don’t hesitate, decide and act…

Daily Affirmation: Today I am decisive. I will move to create momentum!

Life Is Good!

Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.Abraham Joshua Heschel

we’re blessed

We’re blessed because we live. Compare your lot, whenever in doubt or whenever you’re sulking. In most comparisons you’ll come up better. Even if you don’t, remind yourself, ‘this too shall pass’, look forward with positive expectation instead.

enjoy

Life is a gift, we must enjoy it. We must be happy. Which means we can’t lose any moments in life  being sad, feeling hurt or not talking to someone. Rejoice in who and what you are, in what you have and in what you’ll yet be!

Daily Affirmation: I am Life. I rejoice in all that I am and have, thank you!

The Holodeck Perspective…

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?Robert Schuller

what?

  • Quit your job? And start living the life of your dreams?
  • Confess love to those you’ve always loved?
  • Never have fear about anything again?
  • Be happy?
  • Travel?

you never do fail

From one standpoint you never do fail, even when you think you do. I call this the Holodeck Perspective. In Star Trek the Holodeck was a large room where the computer created a virtual reality based on your request. The simulation was so real that you could actually forget that you were living that simulation. Life is like that. In an ultimate way, we’re always safe, we feel the pain and the gain right now, but nothing we do on this planet can eternally harm us…

Once we remind ourselves that this is a Holodeck experience (even though our relationships and experiences are real); we need not be afraid of failure; we need not be afraid of anything or anyone!

Daily Affirmation: I am eternally safe today to pursue my dreams. I will handle all that life throws at me.
