Why Not To Be Disappointed…

…disappointment is your thought that God doesn’t know what God is doing…Neale Donald Walsch

life

Life is what it is. What we think about it and how we react to it is up to us. To respond with wisdom takes understanding of who we are and where we fit in…

understanding

We live in a dark world. Dark because we don’t know much about our spiritual origins, we know not how all this fits and we generally don’t know where we’re headed. What’s the purpose of all that’s happening?

According to The Urantia Papers, we’re in the dark because Urantia, our planet, is under an information quarantine from the rest of the Universe! There’s a time coming, soon, when this veil will be lifted and we’ll know more about our place in this amazing universe!!

Why Life Is A Mystery…

When we’re in tune with the unknown, the known is peaceful.‘Yogi Tea’ Fortune

unknown

Given that we experience so little of the known light/audio spectrum it’s obvious that we know very little of this universe. It’s mostly unknown. That is what makes us fearful and it is also which makes life so interesting. If it were all known then truly life wouldn’t be worth living. Just like we couldn’t enjoy Christmas everyday, we couldn’t bear to live in a universe that’s all known.

in tune

So how do we become peaceful travellers through this most amazing and enthralling experience we call Life? I believe the best way to do so is to practice the following:

  •  Trust in faith that a great and loving intelligence is the creator and upholder of all that we see.
  •  Know that everything, ‘good’ or ‘bad’, is creatively used by God for everyone’s ultimate good and
  • Spend time connecting with this loving presence through various means.

Why We Must All Be Free!

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.  – Simone de Beauvoir

happy independence day

July 1st and July 4th mark independence for Canada and the United States, respectively, congratulations!! Independence Days by Month and Country.

We ought to be free. What does that mean?

We should be free of fear. We should be free of our biases and ignorance.  We should free ourselves of our limiting assumptions. We should be free of all negativity. We should free others of our expectations. We should freely forgive everyone including self. We should be free to love. We should be free of others’ opinions of us. We should be free of what society thinks we should be doing or wearing.

We should free ourselves from excessive materialism. We should free some time up to devote to God. We should free some time up to serve others.

vacation

Out this whole week, see you back on Monday, July 9th!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM free, and set everyone else free!!

Why We Are Ignorant!

Self-rescue comes closer each time we voluntarily come face to face with our own ignorance.  – Vernon Howard

self-awareness

Life is nothing but a journey towards greater self-awareness. If we are to be happy and therefore successful, we must face our shortcomings and blind-spots. What is it that comes in our way?

chutzpah

Our ego get’s in the way. Here’s a great article shared by a friend on Why Smart People Are Stupid! We think we’re so smart that we neglect to notice our own short-comings. The work-around is to become more self-aware and humble. Humility will bestow its timeless gift to us only if we acknowledge and accept its presence!

Why It’s Time To Grow Up!

I am not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.  – Fritz Perls

expectations

The single factor that guarantees relationship problems is ‘expectations’. What do we expect from others? From our spouse or our boss? What should my sibling or parents be doing for me? In the same vein, how do we fall short in others’ eyes? What pressure do we feel, daily, to measure up to what others may want from us?

maturity

Let’s all grow up. Let’s not tie our happiness to what others must do for us. Let’s feel at ease about what we think we must do for others. Let’s do for others all we can in love and for no other reason.

How To Find Peace…

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.Ecclesiastes 3

pace of life

We are all in a hurry. Our lives are nothing but a flurry of activities. Where are we going and what are we accomplishing? If we’re to find lasting peace and enduring happiness we must answer these questions…

target peace

God is in charge. It’s his creation. We’re his children. Everything in nature get’s accomplished yet nature is never in any kind of a hurry [quote]. We hurry because deep inside we worry. We hurry because we think it all has to be done today. We also hurry because we think ‘who else will take care of it’?

If we want to live in peace we must want it badly enough. We must design peace into our daily routine. We must slow down, breathe deep, let things be and flow with life. We must live the faith that God is in charge…

Why We Are Challenged…

People do not grow when their environment is too comfortable, when they are not challenged.  – Daisaku Ikeda

adversity

We are lazy and we refuse to learn from history. Our only true learning comes from facing life challenges directly. Our planet is just the right place to live a life full of rich challenges. We’re forced out of our stupor and must rise to meet any situation that the Universe designs for us!

the prize

Why were we chosen to live this life? What part do we play in all this? What do we get out of this? Why is it the way it is? All these questions will be answered in due time and to our full satisfaction. Until then it’s our task to live life fully, fearlessly, lovingly and continue to seek answers! Life is interesting!
