What Is God’s Will?

Leave a comment

The will of God is the way of God, partnership with the choice of God in the face of any potential alternative.  – The Urantia Papers (130:2.7)

god’s will?

What is God’s will? Believers often struggle with this question. Without a palpable connection with the center, how will we know? Which path on the fork should we take?

god’s will

The higher moral choice, the choice which provides for the highest good to the largest number of people, the way of love, is God’s will. In other words ‘what would God/Jesus/Buddha do’ in any situation?

What’s Nagging Us?

The problem is you were meant for growth and you’re not growing.  – Vernon Howard

missing

We don’t feel we’re in control of our own destiny and happiness. Something is amiss, what is it? What are we lacking?

grow

Change is ever present. And growth is the very hallmark of life and the universe. If we don’t grow mentally and spiritually we stagnate and something deep inside us, our soul, feels the discontent. The ego senses that same discontent. The way around it is to actively seek growth and not get used to living in our comfort zone. Meaningful growth then is the key to banishing this feeling!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a growth agent!

How To Reach Personal Bliss!

Leave a comment

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then … make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.  – Deepak Chopra

up to us

Our happiness, fulfillment and destiny are truly in our own hands. If there’s one essential lesson we must learn during this lifetime, it is this. We must look within for all answers and resolutions… we may blame others at the peril of our own well-being.

equanimity

If we watch our thoughts we’ll notice our constant need to control others, get approval for what we do and how we look and a penchant to decide who or what is good and bad. Equanimity of thought is key to equanimity of mind!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM just an observer…

What’s The ‘Correct’ View?

Leave a comment

The distance separating our eyes means that there is a difference between the view each produces – thus there is no single “correct” view.  – Seen in Microsoft’s Research Building…

perspectives…

Each eye sees a different perspective and yet the brain brings it all together. Each human and group sees things differently. What is the value of these diverse perspectives? Who or what brings them together?

impact

How should our daily life be affected once we realize there is no ‘correct’ view? And that there are innumerable views?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM ‘viewing’ life differently!

How To Be Happy!

Why Not Go Against The Grain?

Leave a comment

There are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction.  – Franz Kafka

flowing

Mostly it’s a great strategy to just flow with the river. Stay in the moment and enjoy life as it passes through us. Most things get accomplished and one feels at peace. Life is good!

jump

Sometimes it’s necessary to alter course. It might make sense to jump ashore or take a sudden detour. We should watch that we don’t fall asleep while ‘flowing’ with the river!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM alert for opportunities!
