Our Finest Gift To The Universe…

Leave a comment

It’s the way you think. That’s your purpose…. Think as only you can think, which will lead to feelings that only you can feel, from which connections will be made, lives will be changed… – The Universe

our unique gift

Our biggest gift and therefore our gift to the Universe is that we’re uniquely endowed creatures! We also live forever. Comprehend that….

the way we think

If we treasure our uniqueness we would never be guided by peer pressure! We would be our own people, confident in our interpretation of life and giving our best self and ideas for everyone’s long-term benefit.

Daily Affirmation: Today I gift my uniqueness to the world!

What Question Will We Ask Today?

Leave a comment

The question! … Always live within the question! It is when you think you have all the answers that expansion ends, growth stops, and your arrogance begins. What question do you wish to humbly ask today? – Neale Donald Walsch

arrogance

We live arrogantly. We think we know and have answers. In this arrogance we lose because this very attitude keeps us from learning, from looking, from observing, from listening and from growing as personalities.

ask

What would happen if we were ever curious, much like children? Think of a child who’s always asking her parent about anything and everything. That kind of child-like curiosity and humility is what guarantees our growth and therefore our happiness. It’s the same attitude that will help us uncover our Life Purpose and raison d’être!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM curious like a child!

Why Thoughts Matter

Leave a comment

There are no idle thoughts. – A Course In Miracles

thoughts separate

When we’re lost in our thoughts two things are going on. One is that we’re not aware of our connection to source and therefore unable to access our higher mind. The second is that we’re creating our future without being conscious of that fact.

thoughts create

By practicing stillness and by purposefully building a habit to stay in the moment we pave the way for greater creativity and clarity in life. Creativity is not just about creating art but , more importantly, it’s about making our life itself a work of art. Because ‘there are no idle thoughts’ let’s be more intentional on how we think. Let’s partner with the ‘higher mind’, while staying more in the moment, and design the life that we deserve.

Gita, Quotes - 2011

When There’s Nothing Else to Know…

Leave a comment

7.1 Hear now, Arjuna, how thou shalt have the full vision of me, if thy heart is set on me and if, striving for Yoga, I am thy refuge supreme.

7.2 And I will speak to thee of that wisdom and vision which, when known, there is nothing else for thee to know. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 7)

for the asking

The goal of the ages is obtainable just for the asking. This book reveals that when the pupil is ready the teacher appears; when we ask we’re given. That’s especially true if we seek the ‘kingdom of God’ within because then everything else that’s spiritually necessary to achieve this ultimate goal is added onto our lives.

the greatest knowledge

The greatest knowledge is that which:

  • Allows us to live happy and fulfilling lives today
  • Helps us understand reality and our place in it
  • Clarifies for us where we’re headed

According to this ‘bible’ of the Hindus, when we seek ‘Yoga’ (union) with ultimate reality (God) then we start a chain of events that ultimately leads us to the very doorstep of All That Is.

Daily Affirmation: Today I seek God.

How To Walk The Talk …

Leave a comment

We all have to start with ourselves. It is time to walk the talk. Take the journey of making very difficult decisions. Start removing things from your life that are not filling your cup and adding things that bring joy in to your life. – Lisa Hammond

truth

Being true to self is super tough. It’s so hard to look at self with objectivity. How can we do it when we live in ourselves? But that is what’s required if we’re going to progress in our relationship to self, to others and to the world.

reflection

With reflection comes greater self-knowledge. Journaling on deep-soul questions is an amazing way to reflect, here’s a blog I had written on it. As we reflect through journaling and meditation we grow. That in turn allows us to simplify our lives. A simple life is a joyous one.

Daily Affirmation: Today I reflect and simplify.

Why Change Our Perception?

Leave a comment

Inside yourself or outside, you never have to change what you see, only the way you see it. – Thaddeus Golas

change others!

We are driven. Driven to mold others in our own image. We know all the answers, we can help others be better and we know how to help others end their suffering. Heck we even know how the world can be a better place, we just know it all Smile!!

change self

Love the quote above! If we changed the way we view self and the world, we’d be a lot happier. The way to see an object is to see it as it is, not color it with our past experiences of it. The way to see people is to see them as they truly are and to recognize the magnificence that they often hide. The way to see our selves is to see with a soft, loving and forgiving gaze, knowing that we shall triumph and that all will be well!

Daily Affirmation: Today I truly see.
