What’s The Best Advice?

Leave a comment

Be truthful, gentle and fearless.  – Mahatma Gandhi

life

Life has a way of fulfilling all our needs. When we trust it, it delivers. From something apparently minor like the quote for today’s blog to something ‘big’ like a relationship, Life delivers it all! It will deliver it if we’re patient and don’t rely excessively on self to figure it all out!

truth

Life gushes through us when we embody Truth. Truth is the doorway to an effortless collaboration with divinity on a daily basis. To live truth we must be fearless. Who can harm us? We’re the children of the ‘Most Highs’. We have nothing or no one to fear! Gentleness enables us to listen. When we listen for the truth we can be fearless…

What’s The Path?

Leave a comment

Don’t you see that the roads to Mecca are all different? – Rumi

it’s spiritual

Life isn’t all that it appears to be. It’s not about being ‘successful’ as society defines it. Life has a spiritual underpinning. If we don’t consider the spiritual, we miss the big reason why the Universe and we exist.

the path

The stairway to heaven is different for everyone. If God wanted everyone to be perfect he would have made us so. If he wanted us to have all the answers we would have already had them. If God wanted us to follow a single path to increasing awareness and joy then it would be emblazoned across the sky. Blasphemous to many but just like we’re truly unique individuals, we must follow very different paths to Reality…

How To Get A 2nd Chance!

Leave a comment

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.  – Viktor Frankl

just grab it

We can decide today, right now, that this is our very first day alive. Imagine that! A decision is all it takes. Then we can do all that we would have done if we had a 2nd chance to fix something. A positive intent is crucial when undertaking such an exercise!

perspective, change it

We live in a world of thoughts. We manufacture reality, much of it, all in our heads. We may author something quite different from our default. We can design the future we want by simply deciding to look at things differently. That’s our prerogative and we must employ it!!

Why You, Why Now?

Why you? …there’s no one better. Why now?…tomorrow isn’t soon enough. – Donna Brazile

YOU

We are unique stamps on space and time. No one like us was ever born nor will ever appear. We shouldn’t be allowed to feel poorly about self. We come from on High. Rejoice!!

NOW

Never was a better time invented. It all coalesces into right now. This is it. It always was and it always will be, now. Let’s seize the moment!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM it and it is NOW!

Why We Must Go Crazy…

Leave a comment

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.  – Roald Dahl

nonsense!

Let’s stop being uptight. Let’s loosen up! Let’s go a bit crazy, just like kids do, at least once in a while! Life is meant to have fun! Let’s do it!!

creativity

By going crazy we expand our horizons, we see things from a different perspective and we loosen things up a bit! We can more easily tap into our own wellspring of creativity. We’ll also release some stress. What’s stopping us??

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM craaazzzyyy!!!

Why Time Is Priceless…

Leave a comment

An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can’t buy that inch of time with an inch of gold. – Chinese Proverb

time

Each breath that we breathe uses time. Time is as precious as our breath. It allows us to be all that we can be. It enables self-expression in a billion different ways. It’s the palette that God uses to paint this ever unfolding and infinitely multifarious painting. Time can be deeply experienced in the eternal now.

value it

We must value this amazing resource. We don’t always have to fill it with stuff to do. Sometimes we can just sit and be. Time then becomes a means to approach reality. Let’s experience this mystery, in our own way, and make most of it!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM mindful of time!

What Does Matter?

Leave a comment

The only thing that matters…  – Neale Donald Walsch

what matters?

A lot of what we do on a daily basis may not matter much from an eternal perspective. Does career matter? Does the decision for our next car matter? Does making the right college choice really matter?

soul’s agenda

If we think that there’s much more to life and reality than meets the eye then the ‘agenda’ for our life must be a spiritual one. If we think that God created everything then our perspective has to be more than a material one. If we believe that we live forever then certainly our ‘soul’ must have a lot to say about our life on this planet!
