What’s The Winning Life Formula?

March 28, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

If we can go through life armed with humor and the realization that we are love, we’ll already be ahead of the game. Add a box of good chocolates into the mix, and we’ve really got a winning formula! – Anita Moorjani

formula?

There is no life formula. One that we may use anytime and anywhere? Whether we’re young, old, black, brown, rich or poor? Or is there?

maybe!

We are on this planet to live a joyful life. We must be joy, we must be love and we must touch others in that vein. Good dark chocolate won’t hurt either! What happens when we combine joy, love and good chocolate? Can that be our life motto?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM chocolaty love!

Why The Future Sucks!

March 17, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

The present moment is a living rainbow. – Guy Finley

the future

The future sucks because it never delivers on its promises. It suckers us into believing that something most amazing will eventually happen and that it will be the thing we’ve always wanted. Inevitably we’re left wanting and desperate at the very doorsteps of this tyrant we call the future…

the present moment

Now, on the other hand, is beautiful. The most precious gifts are bestowed to us in the present moment. But we scarcely pay attention. This time that’s upon us is beautiful beyond comparison. It really is like the rainbow in all its colorful splendor rising from one end of infinity and descending into the other. Let’s pay more attention to it.

How Not To Be Irritated…

March 13, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

We’re agitated when we resist what is. – Namaste Now!

agitation

When things don’t happen the way we want them to happen we become irritated. It’s the assertion of our will or ego that causes this irritation. Let’s examine when and why we get agitated. What didn’t happen or isn’t happening that’s causing us to be irritable? Dispassionate awareness of that situation will tend to calm us down…

allowing

The way to peace and wisdom is to let Life be what it is. This doesn’t mean we don’t plan or act to design our future. It just means that when we’ve done our best, we let the chips fall where they will, and be ok with that. There’s incalculable intelligence behind what’s going on, let’s not underestimate it!

How To Be Still!

March 10, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking . . . in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet. – Franz Kafka

deep being

We’re being called to listen and to be, with full intention and attention. This deep level of being allows us to be one with all that is. In this foundational repose we’re fulfilled and want for nothing.

deep stillness

This deep stillness is a level of being that can be reached daily and with life changing impact. We stir the love that lies dormant inside us. We awaken to the full possibility of life, joy, success and happiness. Life, which is always abundant can now be claimed by us, to do with it what the Universe pleases.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still and fulfilled!

How To Stay Awake!

March 6, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn. – Henry David Thoreau

slumbering

We slumber, and do so collectively. We have mechanical thoughts, robotic likes and dislikes, we’ve mostly made up our minds and are barely aware of the present moment. We move about in a hypnotic daze.

awake!

We must awaken. Awaken to the richness of the current moment. To the opportunities that show up if we only pay attention. To possibilities that lie dormant unless we open up to them. We must recognize that we’re sleeping before we can awaken!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM projecting my full attention into NOW!

The Art Of Allowing…

March 3, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

You deserve your good thoughts about them. This is what the Art of Allowing is. – Abraham

others

We spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about others and what we don’t like about them. When we hold negativities about others we suffer. And we don’t ‘allow’ them to be who they are.

the art of allowing

Intellectually we all understand why we must let others be. But we still can’t do it. We must let go in order for that to happen. We let go when we stop manufacturing justifications about why we don’t like them…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy about them and me!

Why Time Is Priceless…

February 24, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can’t buy that inch of time with an inch of gold. – Chinese Proverb

time

Each breath that we breathe uses time. Time is as precious as our breath. It allows us to be all that we can be. It enables self-expression in a billion different ways. It’s the palette that God uses to paint this ever unfolding and infinitely multifarious painting. Time can be deeply experienced in the eternal now.

value it

We must value this amazing resource. We don’t always have to fill it with stuff to do. Sometimes we can just sit and be. Time then becomes a means to approach reality. Let’s experience this mystery, in our own way, and make most of it!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM mindful of time!
