Hoping For…

Leave a comment

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. – Epicurus

desire

Desire is a double-edged sword. It can lead us to what we truly need and will find fulfilling. Or it simply prolongs the torture, the torture of the never-ending quest to acquire. Are we hoping for what we already have? When you have a desire, pay attention, what deeper need are you trying to fulfill?

now

What we have now or what we are now, is the result of all our thoughts and work from the past. The present moment is all important, that’s all there is.

Be here, now. Enjoy.

Daily Affirmation: I am here, now. I have now, all I have dreamed of.

Do To Others, Do Unto Yourself

Leave a comment

He that does good to another does good also to himself. – Seneca

the fallacy

We sometimes live a fallacy that when we have a tiff with someone it’s ok to not make up and just break the chord. Actually not making up and clearing the air hurts us more. The resentment and the negativity does quite a number on us, physically, mentally and spiritually.

right action

The reverse is true of course. Any good that we do, to others, we do to ourselves. How you might ask? It’s in the vibrations we create, we generate positive vibrations when we do good, the same vibrations affect us too.

Daily Affirmation: Today I am good. In my goodness, I create positivity that impacts one and all.

Only One Path …

Leave a comment

So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind, while just the art of being kind, is all the sad world needs. – Ella Cox Wheeler

many paths

There are indeed enumerable paths. Which one is right or best? Many people believe that you’ll do just fine no matter which path you choose. In reality there are as many paths as there are people. 

one needed

The path of kindness and compassion is a sure winner. When we cultivate these traits we start to embody pure love (God). Being good just becomes easier. We then instinctively know what to do in each situation. Still very hard to do, but at least now we have a shot?

Daily Affirmation: Today I will exude peace, love, kindness and compassion. Each action today will be from goodness, with the aim to serve others.

Feeling Blue?

Leave a comment

I just believe that optimism is the best policy. But, sometimes it’s difficult to be optimistic when you feel a little down. At those times, I’ve found that a small act of kindness, whether it’s performed by you or someone else, can really help boost your mood up. – SaraVera

feeling down?

When you feel down, the first step is to fully become aware of this feeling. Where is it in your body? Try to trace your thoughts back to how it all started. This will help you build a practice to uncover how and when you get the blues.

be kind

One great way to get out of the blues is to help someone who needs your help. Even allow someone else to be kind to you. Try not to snap back at such an individual, receive their help graciously. Smile.

Daily Affirmation: Today I will watch as I become sad. I will take back control of my mind. I will be loving and kind, to myself and others.

Growing Or Shrinking?

Leave a comment

Every moment of one’s existence, one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit. – Norman Mailer

what’s going on?

Here’s a great opportunity to become more aware of self. Just like every thought eventually comes from either the emotion of fear or love, similarly you’re either shrinking into yourself or growing out, blossoming!

blossom out!

Notice where you’re at, at any given moment, then choose, intentionally, to banish any fears or doubts, then adopt a higher more lovely thought about your self or where you’d rather be. Choose well.

Daily Affirmation: Every time I breathe, I grow in confidence and ability. In all the good things of life, I’m unstoppable!

You Are Safe!

Leave a comment

You may be surrounded with small enemies and be retarded by many obstacles, but the big things and the real things of this world and the universe are on your side. – Jesus, The Urantia Papers

our fears

It’s our insecurities that keep us from being joyous, right here and now. Our planet is very confused, we scarcely have any idea about where we came from and what our destinies might be. Most religions are helpful but only to a point. We’re often left to our own devices to figure this out. And that’s scary.

ultimate safety

There’s a divine intelligence that authored this Universe and it’s beings. We’re ultimately safe. Accept this truth, through faith.

Affirmation: I accept that a divine thread runs through all life and all experiences. I am safe today and tomorrow.

Finding Real Security

Leave a comment

True security is found in an inward relationship with Reality, not in an outward relationship with a man. Self-change toward lasting happiness proceeds from the inner to the outer. – Vernon Howard

where to look

Here Vernon is talking to a woman who was asking him about relationship issues. We must peek inside first. We must seek that which we already possess. No one or no thing outside can guarantee us long term peace and fulfillment.

awareness

Getting to know ourselves, what we like, dislike, how we operate, what keeps us ticking etc. is of primary importance. This is a path that leads to a deeper relationship with the source of wisdom, that’s inside us.

Daily Affirmation: Today I will listen first and then talk. I will understand my real motivations behind any action. I will pause, then act.
