We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.  – Edith Lovejoy Pierce

our life is up to us!

Let’s throw off the assumptions that chain our lives. Let’s be born again! Resolve to think afresh and anew. We won’t accept limitations that others place upon us. We are creative and unique beings like no other in all time and space! We will claim our uniqueness, stamp life with our signature and relish our personal impact!

each day is new!

Each moment we breathe is like no other before it. Each day is new. We can’t let the failures of the past hold us back. We will start designing our future life, today, NOW!

Daily Affirmation: 2014 will be my best year yet!!

What’s Your Opinion?

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

mind

Our mind loves to compare.

comparison

Notice how we do that. We examine one object, situation or person then compare it with something else. This constant comparison is a major cause of the constant chatter in our minds. Let’s recognize that, and find peace.

Where To Find Peace?

Leave a comment

There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost.  – A Course in Miracles – ACIM

running?

We’re constantly running, just like our thoughts. Our thoughts are like the waves of an ocean. A deep calm lies under the apparent turmoil on the surface.

peace

We can readily access this peace. A first step is to become a watcher of our thoughts and not get carried away with them. The witness of these thoughts can be at peace. Try it…

Leave a comment

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.  – Jack Kornfield

self

What do we tell ourselves? What’s the story we repeat? Are we masters of our own thoughts? Do we take care of our physical and mental self?

others

What do we say about others behind their backs? What do we do for others? Do we know now why we’re happy or not?

How To Be A Designer!

Only those who give over all desire to reject can know that their own rejection is impossible.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

designers

Mind is the laboratory and thoughts the instruments we use to create our life. Once we know how much our thinking impacts our life we realize the importance of designing our thoughts! Let’s be artists and paint beautiful thoughts for us and everyone else…

boomerang

How do we view life? How do we approach and judge people? The way we show up is how life shows up for us. The way we judge others (the energies we unleash), we are judged too, in other words ‘what goes around comes around’. Our judgmental thoughts follow the trajectory that we’ve triggered which is why we must design even our judgments!

Who’s Calling The Shots?

Leave a comment

Compel your lower nature to obey your higher nature...  – The Urantia Papers

hi or lo?

The lower nature is that which frets, worries, fears, feels less than, is jealous, always wants more and never satiated.

The higher nature is that which loves, is kind, serves, is confident, has faith, is peaceful, thoughtful, deliberate, motivated, and has a higher purpose.

who’s the boss?

We are and can be victims of genetics and generational, racial and national thought patterns. It can be tough to fight these built-in inertial forces. Because we are will creatures, it’s our prerogative and should be our life-goal to grow and design our life. Which is why we have a mind that’s really under our control. If such is not the case then how can we assert control? Who’s the boss?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM the boss!

What Are We Afraid Of?

Leave a comment

We yearn for a moment’s peace and quiet, only to turn on the radio, make a phone call, or run an errand as soon as an opportunity for solitude presents itself.  – Ronnie Polaneczky

afraid to die?

We fill our life with motion. Incessantly. Why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ponder

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it’s because we’re running away from ourselves. We do need action in life, just not constant action. At some level we’re afraid of facing our deep, apparently lonely, self. We feel more alive when we’re moving. Life is movement. When we’re still and without interaction; at a very deep level, we fear our mortality…

pause

Let’s pause; focus on our breathing. Slowly, find self calming down. Our mind will want to race, let it, don’t attach any attention to it or to its production, which are thoughts.

Once we start getting used to being still, at rest, a peace will start to descend, actually emerge from within. Then we will know that we’ve never been alone.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM pausing…
