What Matters To You?
Nothing you are told that matters, really matters! What do I mean by that? Well as we are raised, interact with other children, are taught at schools and then indoctrinated in our jobs and careers, we are constantly told what's important... make a good first impression, look out for number one, find a stable job with good income, buy a house, buy a bigger house, buy a BMW, etc. And so many times, we lose the idea of what's important to US and start to believe that all these things are important to us. We fall in line. But you…
- While you may find yourself immersed in the shadow side of love at times, divine love is always available to help find your way in any relationship, whether it’s with your self or with others.
3 Issues To Tackle On Your Path To Success
I would share my thoughts on some topics that concern most of us.... Fear and Struggle There seems to be a lot of fear out there now, a lot of uncertainty. One thing most of us fear, to some degree, is the possibility of struggling. We fear the unknown. It may be a struggle to get a new job, or end a relationship that's really over anyway. I believe the pain of struggle is temporary, but the pain of staying stuck is much more devastating. But how do we overcome that fear? I suggest by learning, by trial and error, by getting…
- Spirit is experienced in the quiet moments of peace that flutters through our pain like a butterfly in the field of our days. Follow the butterfly within. It will always lead you home.
Embracing Your Feelings
I may be young, but I have lived through enough challenges and changes to offer up plenty words of wisdom! For starters, feel everything to the fullest, the good and the bad. The bad things like heartbreak or losing a job are going to suck, and hurt! But, if you live that pain you will be able to walk away with your lesson. If we bottle up those feelings, they may come back to haunt us later. So let those feelings come up and run their course. Pay special attention to the hard times because that is where you will learn…
- You can never destroy the essence of who you are which is pure being, you can only postpone your awareness to your own magnificence.
The Attitude of Gratitude
An attitude of gratitude is what everyone is seeking these days, because they know that the more they can feel gratitude, there will be more they can be grateful for always around them. There is always something to be grateful for. Now there are those who would doubt this; that’s okay, be grateful for them for in the allowing of another to have their attitude that gives you the same permission to have yours -- and yours is an attitude of gratitude! Bring yourself into alignment with the attitude of gratitude by allowing yourself to be happy, happy about as…
- Believe in your dreams and what you can achieve!
Be Unreasonable!
If this were my last chance to share something with the world, I would encourage everyone to be unreasonable - be instigators of change! You've been a good person, you've given of yourself, and you've done the right thing - most of the time. You have lived your life by others' rules, those rules that you were taught as a child, those rules you taught to others. But what one rule have you always wanted to break? I'm not talking about laws, or morality. I don't mean robbing a bank or cheating on your spouse. What is that thing that…
- May your success astonish you.
The Next Step in the Mindfulness Revolution
We can stop the busy mind and come into our calm heart. Instead of always thinking, our awareness can be open, soft, and present. No matter what are the circumstances of our day, the details, frustrations, and desires do not need to constantly occupy and overflow the river of our awareness. We do not need to live in constant stress. Meditation can bring us to the beauty of the moment, simple, and free. There is an alternative to our minds constantly on the go. There is simple peace. Meditation brings us back to the river of our own being without…
- We don’t always have to know why. Spending too much time on the why takes away from figuring out what to do next.
Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy
We are our own worst enemy when we indulge in negative thinking. A major problem in this regard is that, for the most part, we're so used to our negative thinking that we aren't even aware when we're doing it. Consequently, we need to listen closely to the content of our thoughts. When we recognize negative, catastrophic thoughts about our future, we need to stop them and counter them with alternative messages that are positive and optimistic, based on truth, not fear. To be sure: Just because things haven't worked out in the past doesn't mean they never will. Just…
- You’re only limited by what you think you can’t do.
