Approaching Reality

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. – Abraham Lincoln

what’s real?

If you believe in God or a Universal Intelligence then you must agree that reality comes from that source. The source is reality. You must also then agree that our purpose must be to approach or to become that reality.

becoming true

To approach reality our core must be true and pure. We must not be fooling ourselves and living a lie, in any fashion. When we start to live a true life we start to approach reality. We become worthy vessels to experience the essential reality that’s already within us.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM true to self and to all others.

Define Yourself…

1 Comment

Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.  – Harvey Fierstein

‘life is pointless’

When I first read this statement in the book Bringers of the Light by Neale Donald Walsch, I was taken aback. How can life be pointless? What Neale means is that it’s up to us to give life meaning, to define our role, to decide to do what we want to do and to decide to be all that we want to be! I like that!

Come To Be…

Purpose and vision are intertwined. Life purpose may come first, then you can create a vision and follow it. Else maybe a dream emerges first? That can lead to your vision and your life purpose.

Believing they can hardly help.

In time, can fill a giant pot.

Mastermind

Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose. – Eknath Easwaran

power of meditation

One benefit of meditation is that it allows you to bring your mind under your control. You are not your mind. Your mind is a tool you’ve been given. Don’t let it run your life, let it know, via mediation and practice, who the real boss is.

control your destiny

Do this by controlling your destination. Do this by directing your attention to your goals and to the projects that are important to you. Become a mastermind and thus control your destiny!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM in control of my mind. I choose my thoughts.
