The main cause of unhappiness isn’t in the experience, but how you think and feel about it. So how about thinking awesome things…a lot…about everything. What if instead of seeing the flaws in others, all we saw was the greatness, the brilliance. My Darling One and I decided some time ago that this would be our one new thing to experience this year…looking for and finding the greatness in others. Yes, that includes the idiot drivers on the road, the difficult people we might meet, the bores, the loud mouths, the…well you get my point. As you can see this is an important skill, highly relevant to our everyday life. We just have to get a little better at it so that we don’t have to see these characteristics in ourselves because, truth be told, we know how life laws operate and we wouldn’t see the petty and the small…
[success]Today you are a magnet, for infinite abundance, divine intelligence, and unlimited love. Actually, this has always been true. ~ Mike Dooley[/success] You have a theory of how life works and then bang, someone or something blows that theory out of the water. And you say, well, okay it’s true some of the time. And then another theory shows up…seemingly out of the blue and you give that a whirl. And before you know it another theory bites the dust…hmmm it seems life doesn’t work exactly like that either. And one fine day, you come across some ideas and principles that you tentatively test and woohoo they work. You discover that there are two actual outlooks on the world, two outlooks that we all share…a natural focus and a spiritual one. It’s the spiritual focus that allows us to fulfill our desires…that leads us towards the life of promise and possibility…
The Greeks had four words for love and a few years ago I thought how amazing it would be to incorporate them into living in a more awakened way. I decided I wanted to love every moment…well as many moments as possible. I wanted to be filled with a heart felt woosh of love unexpected in my day; to love the mundane, the extraordinary, the strange. I wanted to practice having more lovely thoughts and feelings than I had yesterday, to immerse myself in lovely ideas, to feast on the lovely and then to watch the impact that dwelling on and in love had on my life. I desired to see every moment as one of loving perfection. And I wanted to believe more than six impossible things before breakfast. I never ask for much really. [success] Fear and love can never be experienced at the same time. It is always…
Have you ever had an imaginary argument with someone who was totally and absolutely not there? You might not know it, but you were planting the seed for some future harvest. Cabbages or cupcakes. All depends on the quality of thought. You’ve set in motion an event to be experienced and if it’s lousy you’ll probably be saying, where the heck did that come from? Nothing to do with me. Years ago, I heard Bob Proctor say, let me talk to someone for five minutes and I can tell you exactly what’s happening in their world. My response. Right! What a load of codswallop. Ignorance, was my middle name! Life as a mirror Today I get that whenever you see me, you see the state of my mind. You see the life I lead, the experiences I have…and you’re looking at the reflection of the arrangement of my mind. Weird…
When your heart is filled with love, you will experience the Divine in the entire cosmos. ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba I was talking to my friend Tina yesterday, about the fact that she can’t ever get what she wants in a relationship but will only and always get who she is. And she’s not happy with what she’s getting. So who is she was the question. She’s the sum total of her beliefs, what she accepts as true of herself, the assumptions she makes, the thoughts she thinks each and every day. 1. Check out the mirror This isn’t only applicable to love relationships, it’s all our relationships. Having challenges with friends, or colleagues or families…we need to look within. Good or bad, our relationships are no different than anything else in our life, they merely reveal to us who we are and sometimes it’s a lousy reflection. And sometimes…
