Why We Are Human Beings…

We work to become, not to acquire.  – Elbert Hubbard

beings

As someone wise has said before, we are human ‘beings’ not human ‘doings’. All that we undertake is to become something more, to grow, be different, wiser and happier. We can only acquire soul qualities during this lifetime, nothing material can cross beyond the veil.

values

So let’s be very clear about why we work. We are spiritual beings doing spiritual work on this planet. We are God’s children at play. Where will we find our joy today?

Why We Are A Gift!

"Be yourself" is about the worst advice you can give some people.  – Tom Masson

LOL!

When people are hard to get along with, are they really being themselves? Probably not. We’re constantly being what we’re not, often just to please others… Nevertheless the exhort to ‘Be Yourself’ is never bad advice.

be a gift

We are universally unique personalities. No one else in all of time and space can be us, ever. We are a gift from God. Let’s uncover this gift and make it available to others!

How To Spot Beauty!

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.  – Kahlil Gibran

pessimist?

How much of the positive, the true, beautiful and good do we pay attention to? When will we be the true authors of our lives?

beautiful!

Life is beautiful! It’s time we assert control over our own thinking. It behooves us to be happy, and it really is up to us…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM noticing and smelling the roses!

Why We’re Responsible…

We are punished by our wrongness, not for it.Vernon Howard

wrongness

What is wrongness? It’s incorrect thinking. Faulty assumptions. Mistaken beliefs. It’s our inability to get along with others because of our expectations of them. It’s also when we easily get disappointed. Or forget our divine heritage. Wrongness is what keeps us from being truly happy.

our thinking

Our happiness is directly affected by the quality of our thinking and the actions we take based on that thinking. We aren’t punished by divinity but by the universal laws that we might break. Ultimately we alone are responsible for our well-being.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM aware that I’m responsible!

Where Are We Looking?

To find that which we need, we must know where to look.  – Namaste Now!

where?

I was scrambling. I knew I was looking in all the right places but where did it go? No matter where I looked I just couldn’t find it!

waking up

And then I woke up. I was looking for my ‘precious’ phone and it was exactly where it was supposed to be. As I got out of bed a realization dawned. First, we must look for that which we need, not just for what we want. Second, we won’t find it unless we know where to look. Deep fulfillment can never be found in making more money or buying the next gadget. It’s found somewhere else. Where?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM looking for the Real!

How To Be Free!

We first make our habits, then our habits make us.  – John Dryden

chained by habits

Habits are unconscious imperatives that run our lives. We live very habitually. Even the way we think is run by habits. Long held beliefs and assumptions are habits of the mind. We are not free.

freedom

Freedom comes from fresh thinking and living. Living that’s not hobbled by dead habits. Fresh living is when we live in the moment and perceive what’s actually going on. Our memory bank no longer runs our lives. We can then be free!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM perceiving things as they are.

How Naked Can We Be?

Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.   – Warren Buffett

hiding?

Why do we hide what we are? Why do we find it so hard to be vulnerable with others? What are we trying to hide even from God?

humanity

To discover truth we must become more real. Let’s stop the constant effort to be who we’re not. And embrace our humanity to become free!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM who I AM.
