Which 2 Emotions?

Every human thought, and every human action, is based in either love or fear. There is no other human motivation.Neale Donald Walsch

do you buy it?

Think about it, every action or thought is motivated by either love or fear. If you cook something it’s either because you love cooking, love eating, love pleasing another being or fear another person, fear dying of hunger or some other minor fear. Try this thought experiment with any thought you think next or action you contemplate; is the motivation love or fear? If you think for example you want to complete a work assignment, it could be that you fear the consequences of not completing it or that you love your job.

what this means

So which emotion would we choose? Love of course. When we do that we align our whole self with the working of the Universal Intelligence. Synchronicity then occurs. Things just work out. We learn important lessons, with the right attitude of love, when things don’t quite work out.

As we become more aware of our seemingly inconsequential motivations behind each thought or act, we realize how important it is to direct our life to flow with love. By doing this consistently we banish fear and eventually worry, out of our life. You’re then a free, totally safe, dynamic, creative and joyful child of the Universe!!

What Did You Receive Today?

What did you do today to receive your instruction?Louis Pasteur

what to receive?

You can receive many things in the course of a day. You can receive:

  • Attention/love from others
  • Negativity from others and from circumstances
  • Ideas and opinions, clues as well

To know what to pay attention to you must be following your compass. Your compass leads you to that which fulfills you, your Life Purpose. You then know what to pay attention to, all day long.

what’s your life purpose?

  • What’s the aim for the life that you live?
  • Why do you get out of bed everyday?
  • What do you want to fulfill?
  • What do you want to create?
  • Who are you?
  • Whence did you come from?
  • Where are you headed?

The Peace Pilgrim…

The body, mind and emotions are instruments which can be used by either the self-centered nature or the God-centered nature.The Peace Pilgrim

a role model

In my very early years of enquiry into the spiritual life Mildred Lisette Norman Ryder was a major influence. She’s more popularly known as The Peace Pilgrim. Her story is an amazing one. Her life was the message, a message of finding inner peace and spreading it via contact. She walked, literally hiked, all over the United States for 28 years of her life, walking the talk instead of just talking about it! You may download or order a printed copy of her inspiring book here.

her message

Her central message is that we must be genuinely peaceful first and then that peace can be a beacon for others.

This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.The Peace Pilgrim

She speaks about 4 Preparations, 4 Purifications and 4 Relinquishments in order to achieve a peace beyond understanding one that is invincible!

Creation comes from imagination…

Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.Albert Einstein

Did he say that?

Albert Einstein was a very interesting guy. And he lived the power of thoughts. He also once said "The only real valuable thing is intuition”. How does one cultivate intuition?

What it means for us

Imagine often, imagine the best, imagine in detail and color, live the emotion of that imagination and then leave the rest for the Universal machine to deliver to you. That’s essentially how the Law of Attraction works. Understand and utilize it! Pick up positive intuitive ideas and run with them, those are thoughts that the Universal Intelligence provides as clues to us.

The purpose of life…

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.Robert Byrne

A Life of Purpose

Simple isn’t it? Why do we still feel so unfulfilled and even scared about life? How should we define or find a purpose for our lives? Is that enough?

The Trick

Purpose, like life can be addressed at many levels. Here’s an example:

  • Highest Level: To follow God’s will while serving others in love.
  • In-between level: Be a Chiropractor helping people in pain
  • Lowest Level: I will stay happy, daily.

So go find your Life Purpose/s and forget about everything else. Live it as best you can. Taking positive action; daily, bit by bit is the sure way. This blog will continue to explore ways and means to help you discover your Life Purpose!

Martin Seligman comes to mind when talking about happiness and meaning in life. He wrote the book on it! Here’s what he says:

The pleasant life: a life that successfully pursues the positive emotions about the present, past, and future.
The good life: using your signature strengths to obtain abundant gratification in the main realms of your life.
The meaningful life: using your signature strengths and virtues in the service of something much larger than you are.

Peace comes when…

Peace comes from feelings of satisfaction when working with joy, living with hope, loving with abandonment.Arnold Hutschnecker

What do we seek?

Ultimately we all want to feel peace and joy! That can only happen when we:

  • Have great satisfying relationships.
  • Meaningful work that quenches the thirst of our inner-most self.
  • Have an ongoing longer term approach to be useful and of service to others.

These 3 components are essential.

Next Steps:

  1. How can we be more complete in our relationships? How can we expect less, give and love more?
  2. What’s our Life Purpose? What’s our calling?
  3. How can we be of value to others?

Lot’s to ponder; life is good, life is meaningful!
