Come To Be…

To come to be you must have a vision of Being, a Dream, a Purpose, a Principle. You will become what your vision is.Peter Nivio Zarlenga

your vision

  • Do you have a vision for yourself?
  • What does it look like and feel like?
  • Are you able to describe your vision in an elevator ride to a stranger?

your purpose

Purpose and vision are intertwined. Life purpose may come first, then you can create a vision and follow it. Else maybe a dream emerges first? That can lead to your vision and your life purpose.

  • What do you truly want?
  • What in life, are you aching for?
  • What’s deep inside your heart, seeking expression?
  • How long will you ignore it?

Believe But Verify

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.Lord Buddha

trust

In the spiritual economy, faith, belief in an idea or a possible reality must come first. Faith means trusting something before you see it. Buddha cautions us to ensure that our beliefs agree with our own common sense.

then verify

Faith, trust and belief lead to the experience of that in which we believe. That’s a spiritual law. Eventually your belief or trust will materialize the object of your faith.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM trusting but real.

It’s all your world. It happens all through your consciousness. It’s all your interpretation. It’s all what you experience. What’s your responsibility for your world?

Drops Of Water

Do not take lightly small good deeds,
Believing they can hardly help.
For drops of water, one by one,
In time, can fill a giant pot.

Mastermind

Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose. Eknath Easwaran

power of meditation

One benefit of meditation is that it allows you to bring your mind under your control. You are not your mind. Your mind is a tool you’ve been given. Don’t let it run your life, let it know, via mediation and practice, who the real boss is.

control your destiny

Do this by controlling your destination. Do this by directing your attention to your goals and to the projects that are important to you. Become a mastermind and thus control your destiny!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM in control of my mind. I choose my thoughts.

Self Observation

Self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening.George Gurdjieff

hypnotic state

Our lives are lived in a state that’s best described as hypnotic. Often we don’t catch a breath in our daily super busy lives. We’re not aware of where the day went, what we set out to do, what we noticed along the way if anything. There’s not likely to be a moment when we sat down and reflected on what’s going on, no chance we actually smelt a rose!

catch and hold your breath

Catching a breath is actually a great place to begin. Find times during the day when you can breathe deeply for a couple of minutes. Even hold your breath for a bit and let all the oxygen be absorbed into your lungs. Now look around, notice where you are, what you set out to do and collect your thoughts. What kind of thoughts are you creating?

Daily Affirmation: Today I am aware of my body, actions, thoughts and purpose.
