A child of God…

Difficulties may challenge mediocrity and defeat the fearful, but they only stimulate the true children of the Most Highs.The Urantia Papers, (48:7.7)

You are a child of God, a product of the Universal Mind. God would not have created us without a grand purpose.

If we remind ourselves of this essential truth often, we will be unafraid to face life, its challenges and be motivated to take anything on! This is the secret that will pull us out of the doldrums and activate us for the destiny that we are designed to undertake.

Unlock the path…

Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality.James Womack

Commitment is the key to getting the self moving.

Commitment to what though? Are you careful about what you commit to? If not you’ll be spinning wheels that don’t need spinning. You’ll be detracting from your ‘Life Purpose’ or that which you were designed to do and be. Which means that any activity not aligned with your Life Purpose will be an energy drain at the very least or worse, one that takes you away from a fulfilling/happy life.

How will you discover your Life Purpose?

Our human journey…

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.Stephen Covey

Our quest, then, ought to be, to discover this spiritual life that we all have but often neglect. There’s a force inside us, a living, that desires to be uncovered and latched on to. Once we discover it and ride on its coattails, we can be like the carefree birds, that live daily and then die, but never ever worry about life.

We go on, forever that is. Let’s discover what this grand drama is all about, find our part, play it, to our best ability, live life as its meant to be lived!

Direct your thoughts…

Always  direct your thoughts to those truths that will give you confidence, hope, joy, love, thanksgiving, and turn away your mind from those that inspire you with fear, sadness, depression.Bertrand Wilbertforce

You are thine own master. Your whole life flows from your thoughts and what you do with those thoughts. Remember your primary role in your own life and its execution.

It all starts with your thoughts.

Know whence they originate; under what circumstances; what you do with them; how they might control you; become conscious of your thoughts and enable control over how each day and the rest of your life turns out!

Highest attainments…

Reason, wisdom, and faith are man’s highest human attainments.

The Urantia Papers, (103:9.6)

These attainments have nothing to do with career, business or fame, at least directly; instead they involve those aspects of life that we will carry with us even beyond this life!

These 3 areas cover the major aspects of life:

  • Reason: Is about developing your mind and intellect. Reason guides us regarding the things of this world. A well developed intellect is essential for any kind of worldly achievement. Reason is about IQ.
  • Wisdom: Wisdom is all about finding truth, dealing with others and relationships. And thus is a crucial quality to have, it’s about Emotional Quotient or EQ!
  • Faith: Opens the door to everything else that’s essential to our lives. It’s the path to a life of religion; knowing God or Universal Mind, it leads to the very source of everything. Faith is eventually about LQ, Love Quotient, because the real fruit of ‘true religion’ is the blossoming of a pure love, from within.

Questions to ask…

It is better to know some of the questions rather than to know all the answers.James Thurber

This is another bit of amazing advice! When we’re lost does it not help to ask rather than to assume and act as though we know? Men appear to do the latter more than women when lost driving apparently :)!

Well it’s the same way in life. To seek and find answers to life’s most difficult and mysterious questions; we must ask. If we go about thinking we already know, that would be true, except limited to what we already know!

Think in questions! Refine these questions. Journal all questions.

We grow when we do that.

Another quote:

"He that knows not,
    and knows not that he knows not
        is a fool.
            Shun him

He that knows not,
    and knows  that he knows not
        is a pupil.
            Teach him.

He that knows,
    and knows not that he knows
        is asleep
            Wake him.

He that knows,
    and knows that he knows
        is a teacher.
            Follow him."

All we need is love…

The general thing to remember is that politicians need love.Dick Simpson

So do we. Everyone needs love and needs to be appreciated. We live our entire lives seeking love, adoration and appreciation from our lovers, parents, siblings, teachers and friends. Once examined we realize that this quest for love is the driving force in our lives and underlies all ambitions.

What does this mean to you?

What happens when we recognize this need in every person (including family) we meet, daily?
