How To Find More Meaning In Life!

Leave a comment

The more meaning we find in life, the more meaning we find in life…  – NamasteNow!

true happiness

True happiness is a product of finding enduring meaning in life. Meaning can certainly evolve and grow, but meaning we must have if we are to be happy campers on this planet! What is it that truly drives us? Are we being truthful when we say it’s the nice things like ‘family’, ‘relationships’, ‘fun’ etc.? Discovering what drives us will lead us to uncover meaning in our lives.

find meaning

We must spend time ruminating and acting on what drives us. An example is discovering that to be happy in a job we must work with like-minded individuals. Once we figure that out we ought to seek job opportunities that allow us to do just that. Once we start becoming happier at our jobs we are more likely to discover greater meaning in other aspects of life. One feeds the other, find meaning in one aspect of life spurs finding meaning in the rest of our lives! Let’s go seek more meaning!

Love People, Use Things!

What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things.  – Anon (Radhanath) 

love things?

Do we love things more than people? We all do some of that and probably more than we should. People and relationships ought to be our most important focus in life. Relationships are the only ‘real’ thing that we’ll take with us beyond this physical life…

love people…

We can never be poor if we focus our lives on loving others. Imagine that! Love family, friends, folks at work and everywhere else! Won’t that guarantee a successful life? With loving relationships comes happiness in every aspect of life. What could possibly be lacking?

Why Life Is A Mystery…

Leave a comment

When we’re in tune with the unknown, the known is peaceful. – ‘Yogi Tea’ Fortune

unknown

Given that we experience so little of the known light/audio spectrum it’s obvious that we know very little of this universe. It’s mostly unknown. That is what makes us fearful and it is also which makes life so interesting. If it were all known then truly life wouldn’t be worth living. Just like we couldn’t enjoy Christmas everyday, we couldn’t bear to live in a universe that’s all known.

in tune

So how do we become peaceful travellers through this most amazing and enthralling experience we call Life? I believe the best way to do so is to practice the following:

  •  Trust in faith that a great and loving intelligence is the creator and upholder of all that we see.
  •  Know that everything, ‘good’ or ‘bad’, is creatively used by God for everyone’s ultimate good and
  • Spend time connecting with this loving presence through various means.

Do you think we get messages from the Universe wherever we go? Last week, while on vacation, one of us got the above ‘fortune’ at a Chinese restaurant. How appropriate for all of us!

make music, now!

How long will we hold back? When will we express the gifts that we’ve been blessed with? Do we even know what our gifts are? When will we leap? What’s stopping us? What music can we make today??

Why Love Is The Answer…

Leave a comment

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.  – William M. Thackeray

love

People will irritate us. They will be selfish and thoughtless. They will often disappoint us. Relationships will sometimes result in sorrow. Let’s love anyway…

more love

To love is the highest action we can undertake. Being love is the highest way to be. Love is the fabric of this universe, it’s the defining principle and very purpose of all life. Nothing can go ‘wrong’ when we love in response to anyone and any situation.

Live Life King Size…

Leave a comment

Believers react to this temporal life as if immortality already were within their grasp.  – The Urantia Papers

faith

This is faith. To believe in the ultimate triumph of the life we live on this planet. To know that we’re safe, that we’re guided and that everything is working for an ultimate good. To trust in the goodness of this Universe. And to accept that God loved us before we got here. All is well.

live life king size

So how does our life, our attitude and our experience change, if we live as though we are immortal? When will we realize that we’re no paupers but are princes and princesses in a kingdom that our Father runs? When will we kick fear in its figurative butt? When will we start celebrating life, daily?
