How To Cure Envy!

While you might, from time to time, envy others, it’s precisely during those moments when you might ask yourself whether or not you’d actually like to be them. The Universe

be them?

What a great question. Do we actually want to be anyone else, really? In other words lose self and totally become someone else? I don’t think so. Then why envy others? We’re not them.

affirmations

Today I AM me! I like myself. I love my life. I love my surroundings. I love my friends and adore my family. I love my body. I fully accept myself and am deeply thankful.

What’s The Grandest Adventure?

There is no adventure in the course of mortal existence more enthralling than to enjoy the exhilaration of becoming the material life partner with spiritual energy and divine truth...  – Jesus

a story

One of the young men who worked with Jesus one day on the steering paddle became much interested in the words which he dropped from hour to hour as they toiled in the shipyard. When Jesus intimated that the Father in heaven was interested in the welfare of his children on earth, this young Greek, Anaxand, said: “If the Gods are interested in me, then why do they not remove the cruel and unjust foreman of this workshop?” He was startled when Jesus replied, “Since you know the ways of kindness and value justice, perhaps the Gods have brought this erring man near that you may lead him into this better way. Maybe you are the salt which is to make this brother more agreeable to all other men; that is, if you have not lost your savor. As it is, this man is your master in that his evil ways unfavorably influence you. Why not assert your mastery of evil by virtue of the power of goodness and thus become the master of all relations between the two of you? I predict that the good in you could overcome the evil in him if you gave it a fair and living chance. There is no adventure in the course of mortal existence more enthralling than to enjoy the exhilaration of becoming the material life partner with spiritual energy and divine truth in one of their triumphant struggles with error and evil. It is a marvelous and transforming experience to become the living channel of spiritual light to the mortal who sits in spiritual darkness. If you are more blessed with truth than is this man, his need should challenge you. Surely you are not the coward who could stand by on the seashore and watch a fellow man who could not swim perish! How much more of value is this man’s soul floundering in darkness compared to his body drowning in water!”

affirmations

Today I AM a living child of God. I feel God’s direction and am a willing partner to the divine energy that’s always available to me. I AM a force for love and am kind to all who show up in front of me. Life is an adventure and I move forward with the courage that only a child of God can have!

Best Quote Ever?

I will live for love and the rest will take care of itself.  – Marina Keegan

only love

I was reading this story on Marina. And then her essay here. A remarkable soul who made some indelible imprints on Life before her unscheduled departure. She wrote some beautiful words. And might have uttered the finest quote ever, see above. The quote says it all, how to live life on a daily basis, especially when we’re confused and don’t know what the heck to do. If we live for love, the rest will indeed take care of itself. Living for love is open to our interpretation. And that’s the beauty of life! Here’s another one of her quotes:

Let’s make something happen to this world.

 

affirmations

I AM here for but a few days. Let me make my life count. Let me love and love deeply. Let me pay attention to Now. Who knows where I’ll be next. I AM present and a force for love, here and now…

How Not To Be Hurt!

Understanding abolishes hurt feelings forever.Vernon Howard

understand

Our ego gets hurt. Our ego isn’t us. It’s just an artificial construct that serves a practical purpose. We come from God, that’s our nature. When someone hurts or attempts to hurt others, the other person doesn’t have to accept that ‘act of war’. It’s up to us to use our wisdom for our own benefit. We choose to be hurt or to be peaceful. How will we use our thoughts today?

affirmations

Today I see things as they are. I don’t allow myself to get hurt. I see where the other person is coming from. I know it all works out. I trust God with my life. I AM very thankful.

How Good Is Our Life?

As in a story, so is life. Not how long it is, but how good it is. That is what matters. William Butler Yeats

life

In our daily lives we often talk about our ‘standard of living’ or ‘quality of life’. These measures don’t actually look at the soul quality of our lives. Are we really happy? What’s causing dissatisfaction on a daily basis? Where and how are we growing? What’s the quality of our relationships?

affirmations

Today I think about my life. I focus on activities that bring me joy. I pay special attention to people who matter to me. I regard relationship activities more than mundane ones. I understand where I must grow. I forgive my past and my current foibles. I AM God’s child and can always start afresh. I forgive others. I feel good about my life. Let’s go!!

How To Achieve Our Destiny!

Destiny is not a matter of chance;

it is a matter of choice.

It is not a thing to be waited for;

it is a thing to be achieved. 

William Jennings Bryan

destiny

It’s our life and our destiny that we control; by our thoughts, determinations, agreements, affirmations, assumptions, desires, habits, actions and goals!

Let’s talk about agreements today, what are they? They are larger assumptions that we live by. An example might be: ‘My parents divorced when I was a kid, no one really loves me, not even God’. Another one could be: ‘I’ve failed in many of my major endeavors in life, I can’t make a success out of anything’. Such basic but major assumptions define, to a large extent, what we’ll experience in life. We do learn a lot from adversity so is it worthwhile to try and create a perfect life? God does want us to be happy but she also wants us to grow as humans into reliable and mature beings. So in my opinion the attempt to use the ‘Law of Attraction’ to create an ideal life is a little misplaced. A truly fulfilling life can only be obtained when our life is in lock-step with the Universal Mind, God’s Will. Living with God as our partner is to actually fulfill our destiny. Let’s ponder that…

affirmations

Today I know I AM loved and cherished by God. My life and every decision I make is worthwhile. I make great choices and take care of my physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Everyone adores me because I care for them and am selfless in my actions towards them. Life has never been better and I welcome a constant partnership with God as I take each step forward. Thank you God, I appreciate it all!
