Why We Must Take Bold Steps!

Leave a comment

Standing in the inspiring vision of my future, I boldly take every step – large and small – with courage and intent. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

future

What is the most amazing future we can imagine for self and the world? To what material, mental and spiritual heights can we scale? What can we dream up next? When will we start acting like the children of God that we are already?

courageous intent

We can do all that’s good for others and self through courage and intent. Courage allows us to take the first and consequent steps. We can be focused on the goal and know that God gently holds us in his palm. Intent is essential because that’s the co-creation the Universe seeks from us. God is unable to act in the realm of the human without our active participation. He provides all the building blocks and we may join the fun with just a dream in our hearts! The divine play is then in action!

Why We Must Drink Sunshine!

Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. – Elbert Hubbard

the way to be

We are children of God. We can walk upright and be confident in our spiritual birthright. All is well for those who walk daily with God.

soulful existence

By putting soul into all that we do, including our greetings, our smiles and our interactions with others, we become active conduits for God’s grace and love. That’s our purpose.

What’s The Finest Gift We Can Give?

Leave a comment

17.20 A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 17)

why?

Why do we give? We give because we want the recipient to love us and appreciate us. God first gave of herself and when we’re attuned to her we’re compelled to give as well. A gift lands softly in its spot when it’s enrobed in love and fulfills the true needs of the receiver. Such a giver requires nothing in return.

the finest gift

A gift of true understanding and of loved filled service to another is the most we can ever give. Most people are crying out to be understood, to be heard. No one can ever be in our shoes so we’re desperate to be appreciated for what we are. A nonjudgmental gift of true listening, one that overflows with love is the finest gift possible.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a giver of love and appreciation.

How To Get Used!

Leave a comment

I never once went for money, I just said Use Me, show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what can I do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself. – Oprah

larger purpose

True fulfillment in life is simply not possible when we’re focused on self. The very reason the Universe exists is to mature young souls and have us connect to the larger spirit fabric. We start to do so via family and friends; this process must continue until we enlarge the concept of family and brotherhood to everyone on this planet. The Universe is focused on evolving and growing souls for a purpose that we cannot quite fathom just yet…

submission

The essential trick to true success then is to simply give up! Not give up as in not do anything or give up as in stop being creative and innovative. But we must give up our need to control our life. We must submit to the divine will. Divinity is wiser than we can imagine. When we submit our will to it; all that is good for us plus more is accomplished. We have to listen and act while being creative…We have to learn to get used by God. He knows us well.

Daily Affirmation: Today I submit to God’s will for me.

What It Takes To Be Cool…

Leave a comment

Try to be like the turtle; at ease in your own shell. – Bill Copeland

like a turtle

‘Slow and easy wins the race’, not only that but such a turtle doesn’t quite care what others think of him. He’s going to take it easy, be determined, plow along at his own pace and not care a bit about what others think about his life or his body. He’s cool.

how?

For us to be like turtles we have to first be convinced about our own value. Where does such high self-esteem come from? It might have come from our parents, it might come from our friends, from our work and certainly from our accomplishments. For those who believe in God it can be simpler. As a child of God, a universally unique and creative off-spring of the ‘One’, we can find solace in the fact that we’re loved and cared for more than we can ever imagine. Once we accept this fact in faith, we can use prayer, reminders and affirmations to drill it into our psyche! Hello cool Turtle!

Why It’s Possible…

Leave a comment

What I most want you to dream of, are possibilities that thrill you.

What I most want you to feel, is happy.

And what I most want you to know, is that you’re loved.

Always and forever… – The Universe

possibilities

According to some, God and the Universe are exploding the full potential and possibilities inherent in the individual nodules of creativity that are us! The realms of time and space are teaming with life, and in wonderment of all that is possible. When we dwell in a state of possibilities, we’re likely living to our full potential. And then all is well and functioning just as it should!

happiness and love

If we’re not happy, why is that? If we can’t experience love then no wonder we’re not happy. If we’re fearful of life and the future then what’s the meaning of this all? If we but realize that we are the very children of the Infinite One, then what can we even worry about? We are princes and princesses who live like paupers not realizing that our divine inheritance surrounds us. Let’s wake up to this liberating realization!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a crown prince/princess!

What Needs To Change?

Leave a comment

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. – Og Mandino

what?

Be~Zen~Do is the overall change methodology that I’m proposing. To start on this journey we must know what it is that we want to change. It’s like knowing our destination before we can start using a GPS device fruitfully. As stated previously we do often know what we want to change. How confident are we that we’ve nailed exactly what needs to change? As an example we might think we want a promotion at work. And consequently we might consider changing our work pattern to gain that promotion. But what if that’s not what we truly seek? What if we really need deeper fulfillment in the form of another vocation all-together? If we get a promotion instead we might be moving farther away from what we truly desire and need to change!

next…

Our main effort should be to go after what truly needs to change.

  1. Do we need to change a job, a vocation, or should we be working on changing our perspective?
  2. How should we think about approaching change?
  3. What do we need to transform?

More on this next time!
