The Perfect Gift

Leave a comment

The only gift is a portion of thyself. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

lost in fog

We’re lost in a material fog. One which focuses mostly on our needs. Also one which keeps us inside our heads.

gift yourself

Let’s get out of our heads, drop into our hearts and live through that unfathomable gateway! Now let us put our attention on others. What do they truly need? A true need can only be met by another person, not a thing. Let us be that person to others, let us give of our own selves.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM the gift, I listen and I serve.

Rule # 6

Leave a comment

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It’s jolted by every pebble on the road. – Henry Ward Beecher

build the springs

We must have our own unique life philosophies to handle life’s jolts. The best one is Rule #6. Don’t take yourself or life too seriously, figure out a way to lighten up and enjoy yourself. How can you remind yourself of Rule #6, often?

seek joy

Joy can only come from a light-hearted approach to life. It can only come when life and its circumstances are composed of fun and frolic. How do you seek joy in your life?

Daily Affirmation: Today I am joy. I am fun itself. I have a thick skin!

Direction creates

Leave a comment

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!

Love?

Leave a comment

Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. – Franklin P. Jones

from where?

What does it mean to have love in your life? Love can come from near relatives including a life partner, it can come from other relatives and dear friends including pets, it surely comes from parents, it can come from non-physical sources such as God and even from deep inside you. Love is also ignitable via things (including nature) that are beautiful.

manifestation

To know what love is, one must practice it, feel it and give it away every day. If you don’t do that daily then something vital will be missing that day. Don’t let that happen to you. Experience it daily.

Daily Affirmation: I am love. I will be love, today.

Leap And Grow…

Leave a comment

All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience. – Henry Miller

real growth

Is only possible when we leap off the cliff in this fashion. We do grow incrementally as well, however the growth achieved by just jumping off is more exhilarating and gratifying. I relate to this quote; I just joined a new job and feel that I won’t get anywhere without jumping right in, without fear.

banish fear

Fear is the enemy to banish first. Next listen in on the small talk inside your head. What messages are you constantly programming into yourself? Watch the negative ones, replace them with something more fitting your amazing personality.

Daily Affirmation: I am capable. I fear not, I grow by leaping, knowing that I am safe.

True To Self… (Next quote on Monday April 5th!)

Leave a comment

This above all: to thine own self be true. – Polonius, Hamlet, William Shakespeare

mother of all quotes!

This is indeed the grand daddy of all quotes. It succinctly encapsulates all that we, as humans, need as a reminder, and as direction in our lives.

what it means

To me the quote means that we must grow to truly understand ourselves. Not just our superficial self, its selfishness and its shallowness. But also our deeper self, our value to the Universe and to each other. With this increasing self-knowledge we’ll know what to do for our own happiness without trampling over others’ needs. When true to our deep self, we can only bring happiness to others around us.

Daily Affirmation: Today I am true to myself. I’m being responsible for my own deep needs while being of service to others.
