Why We Must Loosen Up…

Sit loosely in the saddle of life.  – Robert Louis Stevenson

easy

If we grasp too tightly we’ll get tired, be stressed and miss out on what else is going on. We must let go and start to flow. The journey is the end.

children

Let’s be like children. We play and then we rest. Life happens and we still get to grow and have a blast! What else is there?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM flowing through life!

What Will I See Today?

I could see peace instead of this.  – A Course in Miracles – ACIM

what do we see?

What we see is up to us. Often we only see what we’re conditioned to see. When we invoke our divine gift of self-consciousness and self-awareness we can make wonders happen in our lives!

choose peace

If we’re at peace within then that’s what we’ll reflect and project outwardly. On what will we focus our attention today?

Our Destiny

There are only two types of people. Those you now love. And, those you will love.Mike Dooley

now

Most animals love their offspring and would do anything to protect them. Loving the people we know already is far easier than loving those we don’t know yet.

eventually

We’re destined to love everyone. Everyone. If there was ever an ultimate goal this is it. This is a ‘life purpose’ that’s applicable to us all. The sooner we understand this idea, embrace it and apply it the better it’ll be for everyone!

Why It Never Ends…

It never does end...  – Namaste Now!

never ends

Life and all relationships are eternal. They’re forever. That’s assuring and scary at the same time. Scary because some of our relationships aren’t ideal and we might dread having them forever!

learning

Unless a relationship is abusive we shouldn’t run away from it. The reason we’re in any situation is to capture valuable learning from it If we leave a relationship before learning what we must, our ‘’freedom’ will be short-lived. It’s best we try and understand why we’re experiencing what we’re going through…

How To Paint Life…

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.  – Randy Pausch

what is

The real power to move forward comes from first accepting what is. When we’re ok with what is, we’re free to look ahead and design our future.

attitude

Our attitude determines how we feel and therefore what we can accomplish. It’s forever true that ‘Attitude is the mind’s paintbrush, it can color any situation’. How will we ‘play’ the hand we’ve been dealt today?

How Do We Fix This All?

The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility.  – Vaclav Havel

mess

The world is a huge mess. Poverty, inequality, unhappiness, confusion and much more…Where do we even begin? It all just sounds too overwhelming.

here

The process can start right here though, within us, in our hearts and in the hearts of everyone around us. In reflection we can understand what’s right and what’s not. In our humility we can set out to understand our neighbor, first. And collectively we can realize our responsibility towards all that works and doesn’t on our shared planet. It’s at the level of the heart that problems and solutions must be grasped.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM grasping it all via my heart…
