What’s The Most Important Occupation?

Leave a comment

Let the beauty you love be what you do. – Rumi (the untold story)

occupation

What do we do when we’re bored? How do we fill our ‘free’ time? What is it that takes us away from the preciousness of the current moment? Where does our mind tend to lead us? Who would we rather follow?

love

What would happen if we only sought after Truth, Beauty and Goodness? What if our only aim was to love? Such a pursuit would guarantee a peace that passes all understanding. Love, being the very underpinning of all reality, would carry us forward. We would have naught to worry about. Love would nudge us gently into experiencing Life fully.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM love itself…

How To Enhance Every Aspect of Life!

Leave a comment

…the quality of one’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their endeavor.  – Vince Lombardi

responsibility

We are responsible for our own happiness, our relationships and all that we experience. It really is up to us. When we can fully internalize this truth and take full responsibility for our lives, we’ll be happier human beings…

excellence

How can we be excellent in everything that we do? How can we be amazing at relationships for example? Does it take excellent listening skills, an ability to understand another’s perspective and knowing how to set expectations? Does it also require that we look at others as real human beings rather than objects? The answer to the preceding questions is ‘yes’ of course, but there’s always more… Our decision to be excellent will lead to experiences which will help us understand all we need. Truly the entire creation is marching towards excellence…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM excellent in all aspects of life!

Who Was Frosty Westering?

Leave a comment

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!

This One Secret Does Wonders!

Leave a comment

Many of the moments ahead will be marvelously disguised as ordinary days…  – Douglas Pagels

ordinary?

Life is ordinary if we deem it as such. In the daily routine our life becomes just that, another routine. We wake up and head to work or do our usual thing very hypnotically. We tend to anticipate better times ahead therein losing the magic of the moment!

the secret

The secret is to pretend that each moment is a gift. It is. We should stop taking each moment for granted. Using each moment to the fullest may mean pursuing our dreams, going for a hike or just watching a movie with family. Let’s imbue each precious moment with the importance it does have. Let’s fully inhabit each moment, this moment, now…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM living each moment!

Does It Bring Joy?

Leave a comment

We do not count the success of a life by its length; we count it by its joy.  – Abraham

joy!

The measure of joy in our lives is the only true yardstick for how successful we’re being in our lives. Do we have joy in our lives? Then that’s all that matters…

joy?

Does our job bring us joy? Do our relationships? No matter what we undertake we must ask this important question: Does its pursuit bring us joy? If we’re not creating joy within and outside us then we must reposition our efforts!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a creator of Joy!!
