Why Not Go Against The Grain?

There are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction.  – Franz Kafka

flowing

Mostly it’s a great strategy to just flow with the river. Stay in the moment and enjoy life as it passes through us. Most things get accomplished and one feels at peace. Life is good!

jump

Why Action Is King…

The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. – Kung-fu-tse (Confucius)

the happy one

The happier person pays attention and listens more than he talks. This person is moved by a vision for the future and not by the fear of what could go wrong. Such a person is deliberate and calm. He’s self-assured and at the same time believes in the goodness of the divine.

act we must

Sometimes action could mean not doing something. Like not speaking when we think we should. Action of the positive kind achieves results that are desirable. The right action produces joy and happiness. How are we acting today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM acting to achieve what I really want.

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!!

Why We Must Keep Learning…

In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.  – Eric Hoffer

who are we?

Are we learners or defenders? Do we defend what we already know so that we can be right? Is our ego often in the way? How can we reengineer ourselves? How can we be more open-minded? How can we listen more?

become a learner

If we don’t become learners, we’ll steadily atrophy into what we already are. Life by definition is constant change. We must change, learn, improve, get better or we’ll be dinosaurs…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a learner!

How To Find Peace…

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.  – Mark Twain

thought jungle

By letting our mind rule us we cede our peace to an automaton. We own our mind, it’s not the other way around. We must assert control…

peace

Peace is within our reach when we can be relaxed and think only those thoughts that are essential. Which means we don’t let our mind go wild and instead direct it to do its job. It can be done, and it’s mostly a shift in perspective!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a mind-master!

How To Live Life In Faith!

Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly … all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.  – Pope John Paul II

fear

In some way or another we experience fear daily. It’s important to recognize when that occurs so that we can assert our faith in the goodness of the Universe and move through each day in confidence!

faith

There’s no deliverance from fear without faith. The entire creation nestles firmly on God’s palm. We’re safe in his love and care. He hears every leaf rustle and knows us intimately. Once we recognize his ever-presence, fear has no place in our lives.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM fearless because I know my place in the Universe!
