What Is The Root Of All Evil?

Leave a comment

Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.  – Virginia Satir

root of all evil

Our expectations about life and people are the real problem. When people don’t behave as we expect them to or when life doesn’t turn out as we desire, we throw a tantrum. Our false expectations, in other words, cause us to suffer.

life is

Only when we adopt the stoic quality to accept life as it is can we begin to find the peace that we deserve. Our reaction to life is in our hands. Our reactions, our attitude, our perceptions and assumptions are directly tied to how we experience life. Design them and we’re able to control our level of happiness. It’s simple to understand but hard to practice. But practice we must!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM accepting of life as it is!

Eyes Of Fear?

Leave a comment

… it is never safe to look into the future with eyes of fear.  – Edward Harriman

fear?

How do we conduct ourselves through the day? Do we worry that things may go wrong? Do we try to save every penny? Do we worry about contracting disease or exposing self to germs? What’s our general outlook?

hope, faith, love

What’s the opposite of this mode of living? What if we were hopeful instead of fearful? Hopeful that today will turn out great. That we’ll be safe and healthy. That we’ll be loved and lack nothing. We must become aware of how we approach life, because that’ll guide what experiences we draw to self. Hope for the future, faith that all will be well and love for all including self will design our joyous future…

Why It’s Time To Grow Up!

Leave a comment

I am not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.  – Fritz Perls

expectations

The single factor that guarantees relationship problems is ‘expectations’. What do we expect from others? From our spouse or our boss? What should my sibling or parents be doing for me? In the same vein, how do we fall short in others’ eyes? What pressure do we feel, daily, to measure up to what others may want from us?

maturity

Let’s all grow up. Let’s not tie our happiness to what others must do for us. Let’s feel at ease about what we think we must do for others. Let’s do for others all we can in love and for no other reason.

The Essential Secret To Health & Happiness!

Leave a comment

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.  – Buddha

fear and worry

Our biggest enemy is fear. It drives a lot of our behavior. We regret the past and apply too much emotional energy thinking about it. We should only allow pleasant reminiscing. And we should try not to dwell on what may go wrong.

namaste now!

The finest way to live is to inhabit the current moment and do so filled with love. That is this blog’s core message. Live intensely in the present moment, fearlessly, full of love, expecting goodness and while being of real value to others. If there ever was a formula for life this is it…

How To Find Peace…

Leave a comment

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. – Ecclesiastes 3

pace of life

We are all in a hurry. Our lives are nothing but a flurry of activities. Where are we going and what are we accomplishing? If we’re to find lasting peace and enduring happiness we must answer these questions…

target peace

God is in charge. It’s his creation. We’re his children. Everything in nature get’s accomplished yet nature is never in any kind of a hurry [quote]. We hurry because deep inside we worry. We hurry because we think it all has to be done today. We also hurry because we think ‘who else will take care of it’?

If we want to live in peace we must want it badly enough. We must design peace into our daily routine. We must slow down, breathe deep, let things be and flow with life. We must live the faith that God is in charge…

How To Restore Self…

Leave a comment

All forgiveness is a gift to yourself.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

expectation = resentment

We build resentment daily. Mostly with others, when they don’t quite do what we expect them to do. And with self because life (or the day) isn’t going quite as we expect it to. Resentment with self is very subtle and we have to pay special attention to unearth this self-hatred…

gift to self

Forgiving others and self just once or occasionally isn’t enough. It’s a daily muscle we must develop. When we forgive daily, especially during prayer, we’ll feel an amazing lightness of being. Consequently we’ll be more joyous and healthy!

Why We Are Wizards…

Leave a comment

Be in awe and wonder at the magnificence of you!  – Rhonda Byrne

self-loathing

What don’t we like about ourselves? Our skin, our hair, our bodies? Our background, our parents, our upbringing? Our relationships, our jobs, the country? Where do these thought patterns emerge from? The more we revel in these vibrations, the more of the same is pulled into our experience… Why, you might ask? Because we are children of the Creator and thoughts are the magical incantations we use to create reality. We are wizards indeed…

love you

These thought patterns are alterable. We can select patterns that’ll support our well being. We can start appreciating what we have and what we are. We then activate the very spells that’ll paint the new reality. We attract all that is good into our lives…

Daily Affirmation: Today I love because that’s the highest of all vibrations!!
