How To Live A Life…

What was the quality of [our] love?  – Richard Bach

the only question

The only question worth asking at our deathbed will be this one. The only question which we’ll be faced with, after we die, will be this one.

love

God created the universe for his children. Life is all about people. People equal relationships. The very underpinning of any relationship is love. Love is the only thing that matters…

Why ‘forever’ Is For Real…

Let no one disturb you, let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God.  – Thérèse of Lisieux

impermanence

What’s lasting in our lives? Everything appears to be passing. Our sense of individuality does appear to be a constant. Will it last?

god

We will last. That’s because we’re God’s offspring. There’s nothing except God. God is having an individual and unique experience in us and as us. Life is a big party, live it up!!

How To Empathize…

Empathy is full presence to what’s alive in the other person at this moment.  – John Cunningham

great advice

This is about the best advice I’ve come across when it comes to building better relationships with one and all!

Think about it, our full attention on the other person, totally connected to the very heart and soul of that individual. What would be the world-wide result if we all did this even once a day?

3 components

  • Full Presence: We’re listening and present at all levels.
  • What’s Alive: We seek that which is beautiful and magnificent in the other. Or that which is hurting.
  • This moment: It all occurs in the eternal Now.

Imagine the sheer power of this one exercise on all aspects of our lives!

Why Joy?

He simply said, “Choose joy.”   – Jeff C. Olsen

mood

We choose our mood. Period. Through our general temperament we also attract what eventually shows up in our lives. That’s how important it is to manage our moment-to-moment mood and temperament.

joy

The mood with the highest vibration is one that can be described as ‘love-filled joy’. That’s our goal, for every day and in fact for every moment. How can we get there?

How To Handle Any Situation…

I knew that there are no accidents in this life. That everything happens for a reason. Yet we always get to choose how we will experience what happens to us here.  – Jeff C. Olsen

life

Life happens, some ‘good’ and some ‘bad’. When a child can’t find their toy we as adults can see that it’s not a huge problem, but the child can’t see that. We also hope that the child can grow from such an experience and that’s where the incident might be valuable.

choice

With some experience the child learns that losing a toy is not a life-ending situation. Often the toy can be found or a new one might appear instead. The child learns that there might not have been a real need to overreact Smile! The choice on how we react and process any incident is always up to us.

What’s Life All About?

I realized that no one ever really dies. We always live on. I had experienced a God as real and tangible as we are. He knows our every heartache, yet allows us to experience and endure them for our growth. His is the highest form of love; He allows us to become what we will. He watches as we create who we are. He allows us to experience life in a way that makes us more like Him, divine creators of our own destiny.  – Jeff C. Olsen

Bio

In 1997, Jeff experienced a horrific automobile accident which inflicted multiple life threatening injuries, including crushing both his legs. His left leg was amputated above the knee. The most devastating outcome of the accident was the loss of his wife and youngest son, both killed instantly. At that time, Jeff had profound experiences, which deepened his spirituality and gave him insights and gifts not common in today’s world. He found the courage to carry on, heal, care for his living son and eventually thrive in his career and community contributions.

discover you

Few people suffer as much as Jeff did. I just finished reading his book and it’s a must read in my opinion here’s why:

  • Think life is tough? Some others have had it much ‘worse’.
  • Don’t know how to find joy in daily life? Then read a story like Jeff’s.
  • Don’t know where life is taking us? Get some clues by reading near-death accounts on this site http://www.nderf.org/ and this one http://ndestories.org/.

Why We Must Ask…

And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.  – Luke 11:9-10

living universe

We live in a dynamic, living and orderly universe that’s driven by love. God is present and will engage more fully with us when we ask.

ask

Ask we must. We are growing and learning in this nursery world of souls. The Universe will respond to each request and the answers and gifts provided will be what works best of us and the rest of the world. There are no mistakes made and it all ends well, without fail. Have no fear.
