Do it anyway!

Leave a comment

Always listen to experts. They’ll tell you what can’t be done and why. Then do it. 

– Robert Heinlein

When you are calm, collected and purpose driven, ideas will spring from the deep wisdom that resides inside you. Soon enough you’ll feel drawn to act. Sometimes these ideas will be derided or criticized by others. Stay your course.

Listen to all but do what keeps you true to yourself. These ideas that emerge from within reveal parts of your life purpose. You will be most fulfilled when you live this purpose.

The true joy in life…

Leave a comment

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. – George Bernard Shaw

What is a ‘mighty’ purpose that drives you? This doesn’t mean that it was be one that has world-wide reach or is earth shattering. It just means a purpose that’s very meaningful to you. Whether it’s raising a future citizen of the world or feeding the homeless.

There’s immense power in emerging out of our selfish shell, to look around us, notice our place in creation and make our own positive impact on something or someone! We benefit as does the collective, in untold ways.

Let’s all become more aware, and act!

Who are you true to?

Leave a comment

There are many who are living far below their possibilities because they are continually handing over their individualities to others. Do you want to be a power in the world? Then be yourself. Be true to the highest within your soul and then allow yourself to be governed by no customs or conventionalities or arbitrary man-made rules that are not founded on principle. – Ralph Waldo Trine

Why does outside opinion matter so much to us? Can you believe that the claim oft made by the great religious luminaries God is in your heart, is true? And that if you listen, listen real closely and with deep awareness, guidance is made available to you?

Be true.

Acceptance and expectations…

Leave a comment

Your happiness grows in direct proportion to your acceptance and in inverse proportion to your expectations. – Michael J. Fox

Wow isn’t that true?

As we accept life as it is, flow with the river that is time, we experience an equanimity, we experience peace. You can still have ambitions and goals but you don’t tie yourself to the outcome that’s all. You understand that all life and its experiences have a purpose and you try to fathom that purpose.

Top that off with having no expectations of anyone else and your life problems are solved! Doesn’t mean that you don’t tell others what bothers you, but you’re not hurt by what they say or do. How? By understanding their humanness and by knowing that you decide how you react, not they.

Need madness…

Leave a comment

You have everything but one thing: madness. A man needs a little madness or else – he never dares cut the rope and be free. – Zorba The Greek

Why are we so timid when it comes to doing what’s best for us? We go about life, daily, in a humdrum fashion thinking that we have an eternity on Earth.

Why are we so fearful of taking the next step? We make all kinds of excuses to get to the most important things in life, the one’s that need our attention next.

Why?

When we care less about others and what they think of us, we can be more of ourselves and that magical madness can start to do its wonders…

Unhook yourself.

What is success to you?

Leave a comment

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. – Thomas Edison

What is success for you? It’s very important to know what you truly value in life. That in turn will help you define what success will be for you.

Where have you found success already? Asking this question will help you realize all that you have and all that you are. Maybe you’re successful already?

What more do you seek? This question can lead you to vistas and experiences unknown right now. It can also encourage you to stay on the determined path so that you don’t give up too early.
