How To Be A Master!

Leave a comment

Always  direct your thoughts to those truths that will give you confidence, hope, joy, love, thanksgiving, and turn away your mind from those that inspire you with fear, sadness, depression.  – Bertrand Wilbertforce

master?

You are thine own master or at least ought to be! Our whole life flows from our thoughts and what we do with those thoughts. Let’s be cognizant of our primary role in our own life.

thoughts

It all starts with our thoughts. Know whence they originate; under what circumstances; what we do with them; and how they might control us. Let’s become conscious of our thoughts and enable control over how each day and the rest of your life turns out!

How To Live An Eloquent Life!

Leave a comment

Be patient. Be wise in your counsel and eloquent in your lives.  – The Urantia Papers

be patient

What does it mean to be patient? To me it means being patient first with self. We shouldn’t have expectations that create a life that’s too hectic, one that allows not for true rest and reflection. It also means be patient with all others; don’t want others to live at the same pace we want to live. It means being patient with all other things in life. Flow with life; don’t feel anxious when things don’t transpire just the way we expect them to. Try to see the purpose in everything.

eloquent life

We should be wise in our counsel to others; give advice only when asked for it; and apply our words to the person and the situation. Eloquence in our lives comes from living the life that we preach or aspire to. Let others imbibe in what we most want them to know through how we live our life. Words are not necessary.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM living eloquently!

How Gratitude Transforms!

Leave a comment

Remember, if you are criticizing, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. If you are complaining, you are not being grateful. If you are feeling tension, you are not being grateful. If you are rushing, you are not being grateful. If you are in a bad mood, you are not being grateful.

Gratitude can transform your life. Are you allowing minor things to get in the way of your transformation and the life you deserve? – Rhonda Byrne

really?

When we complain we’re focused on lack. When hurrying we’re saying we don’t have enough time and that an opportunity is slipping away. When angry we’re really saying that things aren’t right. And when tight-fisted we’re declaring that we don’t have enough. What’s our general attitude towards life?

thankful

When we’re grateful, we’re truly happy with things as they are. We’re patient, faithful and expectant of the finest. It really is up to how we think and approach life! What a great reminder, thanks Rhonda!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM supremely grateful!

How Straight Are You?

Leave a comment

One cannot think crooked and walk straight.  – Anonymous

short break

See you back on Monday, April 14th!

inside out

How do we set our inside right? That has to be the first order of business, in the business of life. Our life will faithfully reflect how we think on the inside. We need to be good inside out. It must happen on 3 levels. I call it the MBS System, the Mind, Body and Soul System.

Soul: We ought to discover our Life Purpose. The path to which is led by self-knowledge. .

Mind: Our thoughts must be congruent with our highest desires i.e. our Life Purpose. We can’t think thoughts that don’t support our mental, spiritual or physical well-being and expect to be happy campers.

Body: To live a Soul purpose and be of a sound mind, our body must be in good shape.

Our whole being must move in tandem for us to be fulfilled. All this can be quite over-whelming because hardly anyone is living in this wholesome fashion. The secret is to take small tri-pronged steps, daily and watch our life unfold!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM straight inside and out!

What Is God Thinking?

Leave a comment

I want to know how God created this world. I want to know His thoughts...  – Albert Einstein

god’s thoughts?

If God created all reality; he is the very source of all that is. It would be rather cool if we knew his thoughts; his purpose for all that’s going on!

our purpose

I believe that at the individual level it’s quite possible for us to know of God’s plans. I also believe that it’s part of our purpose, maybe even the purpose for us to find our place in God’s universe and clarify our relationship with the Godhead.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM seeking God’s thoughts as they relate to me!

For Who Does The Bell Toll?

Leave a comment

Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.  – John Donne

life is fleeting

John wrote this in the 17th century probably referring to the church bells that tolled during a funeral. We can make a lot of this beautiful quote. Let’s not lose another moment to indecision, hate, callousness or despair. We never know when the bells might toll for us. Let’s wake up, realize the power that resides inside us, claim it, smile and march into the day, we can take it on like a true child of the universe. Nothing holds us back, except us.

meaning

The meaning we find in life is our own work; it involves our unique interpretation of what’s going on. When anything happens it’s up to us what we make of it. Watch self as we create our inner universe, be aware of how we paint an event or happenstance. We create our life, each moment. When the bells toll; we decide what that means to us.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM living life without regrets!

What Is Zen?

Leave a comment

Don’t seek reality, just put an end to opinions.  – Sheng-ts’an (Zen Monk)

reality?

We seek to understand by building up thoughts and opinions about everything we see and experience. That’s our way to comprehend what’s going on. Is there another way?

direct experience = zen

What if we experienced everything without building words about it inside our heads? For example when we see a bright drop of moisture on a verdant leaf, we absorb the experience as is. We don’t start saying to ourselves words like “Oh how beautiful is that! How green and lovely. So much more nicer than the fall season.” etc.. We put an end to the never ending opinionating and achieve greater clarity of mind and therefore peace. We experience reality.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM experiencing things as they are!
