No One Answer!

Leave a comment

There’s never just one right answer…

And there’s never just one right question. – The Universe

settled philosophy, there isn’t

We’ll be lost if we ever think we know enough, about anything. The Universe and the Creator are infinite, time itself goes on forever, so if we’re to have any kind of a meaningful eternal existence, there better not be an ultimate truth that’s easy to reach and comprehend. Your thoughts?

q & a, plus more

Yes there’s certainly not one answer, to most questions. Questions there are many, that can be asked. In fact depending on the questions asked, the Universe responds. The question we ask determines what we see. The Universe and our existence is designed for continuous growth, discovery and adventure! Life is good, and it’s exciting!! Dream on….

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM asking more than I’m telling.

If Only …

Leave a comment

If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world. – Mercedes Lackey

your big ones

The 3 big regrets most people have (according to a study referenced in a book I was listening to this morning called ‘Flip’) are:

  1. Education: Not being able to get the experience and training you really wanted.
  2. Business opportunities: Not grabbing and implementing business ideas as they appeared.
  3. Time with family: Not loving enough and not spending time with loved ones enough.

Regret has to do with missed opportunities and action not taken. What are your big ones?

today

What are you not doing, not being, not pursuing and not living, today, that will cause you to say ‘if only’ in the future? How do you handle regrets and disappointments today? Are you happy?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM action!

Born To Be Alive!

Leave a comment

He who is not busy being born, is busy dying. – John Dillon

stagnation

Shunted growth or stagnation is the result of our disinterested outlook to life. If we thrash about life like waves, what chance do we have that our ‘life’ boat will head in a fruitful direction?

only option

The only way is the way forward. Any other direction, for too long, is just not enlivening. We can either be re-born, continuously, or we can wither away wallowing in our own ‘sorryness’ for the cards that life dealt us. What will you be; a sorry-self or a dynamic child of God who can never truly be defeated?

Daily Affirmation: Today I swim strongly, I breathe deep, I smile!

Your Body

Leave a comment

Know that your body is the temple of the living God; there you may seek communion. There you may seek counsel as to the choices to be made, the directions to be taken. – Edgar Cayce

setting the stage

Step back for a moment.

See yourself, observe your body, examine your place in your family, society and on this planet. What is your ultimate purpose? If it is to discover reality, find happiness and realize whence you came, then you must set the stage first. Setting the stage means that your mind and your body must be in good shape. How do you get there? Next steps?

making contact

If reality (God) resides within us, what do we think it/he is doing there? What does this mean to us? What if anything will we do about it? Lot’s to think and journal about!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a powerhouse of health and vibrancy!

The Quality of Love…

Leave a comment

When we come to the last moment of this lifetime, and we look back across it, the only thing that’s going to matter is “What was the quality of our love?” – Richard Bach

the being

Love is more in the being first than in the doing. That’s true of life itself. We can be in love and we can be love, when we have no resentments searing our soul, when we flow with the river of time admiring things and persons of beauty, goodness and truth. Having forgiven one and all, including ourselves, we make love’s residence, inside us, possible, we make our own healing possible.

the doing

Once filled with love, let’s place our attention on the other. How can the person in front of us, right now, be served, be loved and be cared for? That is the purpose of life itself, the discovery of love within us, the way it designs us and the relationships that result.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM love, on love will I focus.

Move From Within

Leave a comment

Move from within. Don’t move the way fear wants you to move. – Rumi

fear

Most of our daily living is on the surface. Living at the surface means reacting to life, we worry about silly stuff and we worry about important stuff. We worry about our looks, how we appear to others, about our weight, our financial well-being, about our jobs, about our relationships, about our kids and much else. When operating from the surface we get knocked by the winds and get swayed by the currents of life. We live in fear, mostly.

love and knowing

There’s a deeper way of living. This way is one of connection, to our inner self, to love, to knowing, to fulfillment and to contentment. The way to this kind of living is via self-knowledge, reflection, journaling, meditation and decision-making. This blog is devoted to exploring, exposing and living this way.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM centered, I move from within.
