Define Yourself…

1 Comment

Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.  – Harvey Fierstein

‘life is pointless’

When I first read this statement in the book Bringers of the Light by Neale Donald Walsch, I was taken aback. How can life be pointless? What Neale means is that it’s up to us to give life meaning, to define our role, to decide to do what we want to do and to decide to be all that we want to be! I like that!

create a vision

Create a vision for yourself. Your life and this universe is the canvas you can paint on, go ahead, go crazy, don’t hold back! Grab this eternal opportunity, all time is precious!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my author.

Your Original Medicine

Leave a comment

No one else has the same configuration of life experience and perspective that you hold. This is your “original medicine,” nowhere else duplicated. – Gail Larsen

your ticket

Your ticket to life’s goodness, bounty, happiness and fulfillment is your own uniqueness. Your essence, your individuality, is your ‘original medicine’ according to Gail Larsen.

original medicine

This term comes from a Native Indian tradition of North America. You need to find and claim your ‘original medicine’ if you want to enjoy life. According to the Urantia Papers there are up to 7 trillion inhabited planets in a small portion of the Universe that we inhabit. If that were true, imagine the sheer number of individuals in the Universe! Well, you are unique amongst them all!

Affirmation: Today I AM thankful for my uniqueness. I focus on what only I can offer to the world.

The Double Ouch

Leave a comment

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.  – William Shakespeare

we try and be someone else

I was reading (actually listening) to Transformational Speaking by Gail Larsen this morning and one of the key principles she espoused was around ‘being yourself’. She mentions this concept of the ‘double ouch’ as it relates to public speaking. It essentially means that most of us have the potential to fail twice, once as we try to be someone else and a 2nd time when we fail as our own selves!

fail as ourselves

Instead try the single ouch where you allow only your own self to fail or prosper! Give you to yourself completely, that would be a lifetime’s journey all by itself!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM me. I succeed as myself.

Your Word

Leave a comment

Hold firmly to your word. – Maimonides

promises

Promises that you make to others and yourself are important. They represent a creation that emerges from you. They reflect intention and thought. The words you speak to yourself, become your life programming. Often these words and promises are uttered by you even when you’re not fully conscious of them. So watch what you create, watch what words you use and watch carefully what you explicitly or implicitly promise others or self!

flexibility

Hold to your word but not to your own detriment. Stay flexible. As you become more aware of the words that you create and the self-programming that you allow to happen, become increasingly intentional about it. That way you’re aware of what you do to yourself, you’ll know where flexibility is necessary or where you must keep your word.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my word. I will watch what I feed myself.

Bathe Daily!

Leave a comment

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. – Zig Ziglar

hard work

Life is hard work. We’re essentially a tabula rasa when we’re born. Everything that we do, makes us, every habit, every project, achievement, goal etc. We literally build our inner ‘soul’ through our persistence and hard work.

daily reminders

Because nothing much is free in life. We must remind ourselves daily to:

  • Pray: Connect with our spiritual source. Motivate ourselves.
  • Thank: Be thankful for all we have and are.
  • Love: Love all, including self.
  • Set Goals: Live life on purpose.
  • Exercise: Our mind, body and soul.

Daily Affirmation: Today I sharpen my saw. I focus on what’s important.

The New Religion

Leave a comment

Teacher, let’s you and I make a new religion, one good enough for India and big enough for Rome … – Ganid to Jesus (The Urantia Papers)

background

According to the Urantia Papers Jesus spent many months with a couple of visitors from India during his ministry around the middle-east, much before his crucifixion. Ganid the son of an Indian trader, got quite close to Jesus. It’s an account worth reading here!

the new religion

Here’s my take on the tenets of the ‘new religion’ that’s 2000 years old. It’s still ‘new’ because no large group of people has ever practiced it in its pure form. If we did, the world would change. It’s a religion that requires no earthly authority. It’s all between you and God.

  1. God is within you: Tap into that presence via meditation and prayer. Reflect on what this truly means. The God of this whole creation, resides within and shares your life with you! You are very valuable.
  2. God is within everyone else: Treat everyone accordingly. God is the common thread between all of us. That makes us all brothers and sisters. How can this truth guide us daily?
  3. Love is the answer: Relationships are of utmost importance. Anytime you don’t know what to do, ask ‘What will love do in this situation’? Anytime you don’t know how to be, be love. Focus on the right goals in life.

Daily Affirmation: Today I move in God’s presence, I see and acknowledge God in everyone.
