Why Action Is King…

July 15, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. – Kung-fu-tse (Confucius)

the happy one

The happier person pays attention and listens more than he talks. This person is moved by a vision for the future and not by the fear of what could go wrong. Such a person is deliberate and calm. He’s self-assured and at the same time believes in the goodness of the divine.

act we must

Sometimes action could mean not doing something. Like not speaking when we think we should. Action of the positive kind achieves results that are desirable. The right action produces joy and happiness. How are we acting today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM acting to achieve what I really want.

I could see peace instead of this. – A Course in Miracles – ACIM

what do we see?

What we see is up to us. Often we only see what we’re conditioned to see. When we invoke our divine gift of self-consciousness and self-awareness we can make wonders happen in our lives!

choose peace

If we’re at peace within then that’s what we’ll reflect and project outwardly. On what will we focus our attention today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM choosing peace and love…

Why It Never Ends…

June 24, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

It never does end... – Namaste Now!

never ends

Life and all relationships are eternal. They’re forever. That’s assuring and scary at the same time. Scary because some of our relationships aren’t ideal and we might dread having them forever!

learning

Unless a relationship is abusive we shouldn’t run away from it. The reason we’re in any situation is to capture valuable learning from it If we leave a relationship before learning what we must, our ‘’freedom’ will be short-lived. It’s best we try and understand why we’re experiencing what we’re going through…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM understanding why I AM where I AM…

How To Paint Life…

June 11, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. – Randy Pausch

what is

The real power to move forward comes from first accepting what is. When we’re ok with what is, we’re free to look ahead and design our future.

attitude

Our attitude determines how we feel and therefore what we can accomplish. It’s forever true that ‘Attitude is the mind’s paintbrush, it can color any situation’. How will we ‘play’ the hand we’ve been dealt today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM childlike in my attitude!

How To Live An Ethical Life…

May 29, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

If we’re going to live an ethical life, it’s not enough just to follow the thou-shalt-nots. … If we have enough, we have to share some of that with people who have so little. – Peter Singer

have enough?

I’m willing to bet that we all have enough. The very fact that we’re reading this sentence on a 21st century device via the internet proves that. Don’t you agree?

now what?

Should we be spending the rest of our lives pursuing only material success? How should we give of our self and our resources so that our brothers and sisters can live betters lives? Let’s not be complacent, let’s act today!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM giving more than just money…

The Mysteries of Life…

May 19, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

Be light unto yourselves. Rely upon yourself; do not depend on anyone else. –Buddha

buddhism

Buddhism is a unique religion because at its inception Buddha made it very clear that there is no God. And that we shouldn’t rely on anyone or anything outside self. The above quote is attributed to him as his last words. We’re exhorted to never take anyone else’s word for anything. We must experiment with truth ourselves…

us

We’re alone and we’re not, all at the same time. We must rely on self but then never forget that the Universe assists us at every turn. God lives inside us and we mostly don’t know it. Life is full of conundrums and is a bag full of mysteries. That’s what makes it so juicy! Enjoy!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM enjoying the mysteries of Life!

How Not To Resist Life…

May 16, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

Life changes for the better when we realize that we don’t have to know everything and we don’t have to pretend we do. – Simon Sinek

know it all

We strut around as people who know it all. If you have a question we can answer it for you! If you don’t know the right answer we can correct you. Unfortunately this pose hurts us more than it helps…

no pretensions

What if we took the opposite tack? That we don’t know much, others will give us the answer, the Universe will lead us forward and that all is well…

Now suddenly the burden is off our shoulders. People like us more. Delicious ‘coincidences’ start to occur. And Life provides all the clues and answers we need. This way of being is the Natural way and it really works, let’s try it today!
