Guiding thoughts 22

THOUGHT FOR TODAY 21.6.2010
Vision is one of the secrets of personal
transformation. We are all artists, our mind
is the arena of creation, and vision is what
we are constantly creating. What is your
vision of yourself this Monday morning?
Patient, relaxed, positive or tense, light or
negative? What do you prefer? So be
creative, Always start with vision not action.
See it and you will be it, be it and you will do
it, this is how we create our own life.
When trying make you stale, divert your mind,
relax, break the strain. Ideas will start flowing
again.
You have enough on your own plate to keep
you busy. Just to grasp what your own lessons
are and to begin to embrace them is the work
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 18.6.2010
Worrying about how everything will get
done or whether you are capable of
doing it, limits your ability to respond to
challenges considerably. The less you
think about doing something and the
faster you get on with it, the fewer
problems you cause yourself. Good
planning is always helpful, time spent
fretting and procrastinating is a mayor
drain on your energy. The more willing
you are to respond positively to
opportunities, the more your capacity
will grow.
Your serenity is based on taking responsibility
without blaming and letting go without giving up.
No one can go back and make a brand new start.
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new
Ending.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 17.6.2010
Look back on the events in your life and you
will see what a powerful role your responses
have played. Certainly whatever happens to
you has an influence, but what you do about
it usually has an ever greater influence. It has
been your responses, not the events that
preceded them, which have brought you to
where you are now. No matter what may
come your way, you have the power to
respond in whatever way you choose, keep
in mind that it can make all the difference in
the world.
The only thing that stands between you and what
you want from life, is simply the will to try and
the faith to believe that it is possible.
The most powerful form of teaching is by example.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 14.6.2010
One of the most valuable things you can have is the
ability and the desire to truly understand others. In
this world there are no two people having exactly the
same perspective, we are all unique individuals. This
can lead to extreme frustration or to magnificent
achievement, depending on your level of
understanding. Imagine how much more value you
could create and enjoy if you made the effort to
better understand the people around you. Imagine
what would happen if some of your anger and
frustration could be replaced by cooperation and
effectiveness. Understanding comes only through
communication and your true desire and willingness
to listen. Listen today with your heart and discover
the opportunities of better understanding.
Those who make never mistakes are those who
never try anything new.
Every fear or insecurity you have about yourself is
a button to be pushed.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 10.6.2010
Everything you do is motivated by the desire to
attain a moment of happiness. Spent a few
moments reflecting and you will see and yet what
we consume in order to be happy is often sorrow.
We often rate a good movie by the amount of
violence and destruction. The scriptwriters know we
will surrender our emotional state to the emotions
of the characters and then enjoy the rollercoaster
journey between elation and depression, love and
fear. In the end they have convinced us to say;
“wonderful, loved every minute’. Then listen to
the music we buy, is it uplifting, empowering, does
it feed our spirit to soul high, free and happy, not a
change. We hear the music of melancholy and the
lyrics of suffering and pain dressed as love and
fulfillment. How can violence, depression, sadness
and pain uplift and inspire? How can you get
happiness out of sorrow. Be aware what you hear
and watch. Realize that happiness is a choice, lived
from the inside out.
The experience of unconditional love begins in your
own heart, not in someone else’s.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 9.6.2010
We spent our time and attention on the surface
of our forms and create the habits of anxiety
and worry as they inevitable deteriorate, counting
the grays and measuring the length and depth of
the wrinkles. There is nothing more inevitable than
the graying of hair and the crinkling of skin. Resisting
it is like to hold back the tide of the ocean. But when
we truly know ourselves as spirit within the form,
all those subtle tensions are dissolved. Knowing
ourselves as we truly are is the doorway to freedom
as we never grow old, never die, only our bodies do.
Experience yourself as a free spirit and you will know
true relaxation.
Have more effect upon the world than the world has
upon you.
Make today a breeze, not a battle.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 8.6.2010
Most human beings live a fast pace life in
which they struggle to make ends meet.
Their minds are consumed with thinking,
planning and worrying. Their minds are
constantly in flight and fight, weakening
the immune system and creating the
conditions in which dis-ease can take hold.
Realize that beneath the thinking mind is
a pure non-judgmental awareness, as soon
as you discover that awareness, the heart
opens and giving and receiving are effortless.
There is no human being who is incapable of
reaching this state of open awareness and
compassion. However very few people know
this capacity for peace exists in them. Few
people take direct responsibility for their
physical and emotional well-being, most of
them blame others for their problems. You
have choices in life so take responsibility for
what you consume, who you are with and
what you do. Only your fear keeps you in
resistance to life.
The impossible becomes possible with the
power of determination.
Every experience you have can be lifted up
through the power of your unconditional
acceptance and love.
Nothing happens to you, that you cannot handle.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 7.6.2010
When everything seems to be lost there is
finally freedom of thought. No longer you
hold on to a way of thinking and finally step
out of the imprisonment of expectation and
conditioning. Now there is freedom, change
and opportunity. It may frighten you first to
experience that you are not a victim of this
world but the one who holds the key to
freedom. You may learn to trust your
experiences through being neutral about what
is happening in your life, not seeing it as
positive or negative. Just let life unfold and
see what happens. Understand that there is no
punishment only the experience of what is.
All of the chaos and confusion in your mind can
be transcended through your simple decision to
be wholly present and attentive right now.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 12.1.2010
What is the quality of what you are doing
while dealing with the many things that
make up your daily life. Can you detect
even the slightest element within yourself
of not wanting to be doing what you are
doing? That is denial of life and so a truly
successful outcome is not possible.
Surrender to what you do, that is what
determines your success in life, not how
much effort you make. Effort only implies
stress and strain as you need to reach a
certain point in the future or accomplish
a certain result. Do one thing at the time,
be total in what you do, give it your total
attention and success is yours as you
empower your actions by surrender to it.
Your unhappiness arises not from the
circumstances of your life but from the
conditioning of your mind.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 11.1.2010
You are what you think you are, you create
what you think is possible. You lack what you
think you can’t have. You expect, hope and
wish for. In all cases it is you who is in charge
of that thought, in control of your own power
to feel pain, disappointment or fear. When you
awaken out of the unconscious identification
with the stream of thinking, when you realize
that the voice in your head is not you (you are
the one who is aware of this voice, not being it)
you become free. Only then you recognize this
world as a cosmic dance and yourself as the very
life essence, as you are conscious recognizing
yourself in everything.
You choose to see the world any way you want.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 8.1.2010
When progress is looking for a partner
it doesn’t turn to those who believe
they are only average. Nothing average
ever stood as moment of progress. It
turns instead to those who are forever
reaching and striving to become the
best they possibly can be. Not worrying
who is best but being effective and
focusing on doing your best so progress
can take place. Remember that the
impossible becomes possible with the
power of determination.
Do what you do joyfully or don’t do it.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 7.1.2010
Do not blame others, get not stuck in
victimhood, all this is the fearful ego
who wants to be right, to be taken
care of, to be more than others. This
fearful ego brings you the believe of
lack and need and turns your mind and
thoughts in a direction in which you
don’t recognize the abundance given
to you. By changing your thoughts you
change your world. You are more than
enough as you are perfect, whole and
complete.
Life is every day a gift, an opportunity
to be.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 5.1.2010
No matter what happens each day, no matter
what in the past has destroyed your emotional
calm, mental peace or physical well- being,
decide that you will now radiate peace. You can
choose to see the world any way you want.
You can decide to stop being affected by the
outer world and instead to affect the world
around you with your peace. Remember that
the world around you is but an illusion created
by the energy YOU are sending out.
Your reality is in the mind.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 4.1.2010
Today and this new year is given to you. It is
a present to be used with care and gratitude.
It gives you opportunity to see that it is up to
you to inspire it and make it even better than
yesterday and last year. Remember that when
things are working out differently in your life,
when expectations are not being fulfilled,
then there is still something else to discover.
Life is teaching you a lesson of love not of
punishment. Stop looking to the things you
think you don’t have and have the courage
to live life fully as everything in your life is
only experience and has its own purpose.
People are not born to suffer in life but to
enjoy it.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 16.12.2009
When you allow yourself to experience that there
is enough of what you once thought there was not
enough of, extraordinary things occur in the way you
live your life. When you know that there is enough,
you stop competing with others. You stop competing
for love, or money, or sex, or power, or whatever it
is you felt there was not enough of. Instead of seeking
affection, satisfaction and emotional security you find
yourself being the source of it. The you are able to
supplying to others and the wonder of it all is that, as
you give so you receive. You suddenly have more of
whatever you are giving away.
Everyone hears what you say, friends listen to what
you say, best friends listen to what you don’t say/
Realize that the path to happiness cannot walked in
someone else’s shoes, your happiness fits you alone.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 15.12.2009
None of us has the power to make someone
love us. But we all have the power to give
away love, to love other people and if we do
so, we change the kind of world we live in.
True love is that which ennobles the personality,
fortifies the heart and sanctifies the existence.
Love is not merely saying, it is doing and
remember we are what we repeatedly do.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 14.12.2009
What you spent years to build, someone
can destroy overnight, build anyway.
People are often unreasonable, forgive
them anyway, If you are honest, people
may cheat you, but be honest anyway.
The good you do today, people will often
forget tomorrow, do good anyway, you
see in the final analysis it is between you
and the God consciousness inside of you,
it was never between you and them anyway.
Those you love and those around you, may
not be where you are, but as you grow, they
will slowly also move, since you can only
change yourself.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 11.12.2009
Have the courage to look at your own
weaknesses and understand them, work
on them and you will create powerful
strength that can continue to benefit you
for a long time to come. Weakness is
nothing to be ashamed of. It is simply
something to be worked on. It is a pathway
that can lead to achievement for those who
are willing to follow it, The most successful
people know that weaknesses are, where
small improvements can bring significant
positive results.
To let go, is not to regret the past but to grow
and live for the future, it is not to be protective
but to permit another to face reality. To let go,
is not try to blame others but to make the most
of yourself.
Most people will tell you that they don’t have
time enough…………How can we create time,
and when we do …we will have time enough?
It is all in the mind. Most time is wasted with
being worried, doubting about things of not
knowing what we really want. We may create
enough time as we make decisions, organize
ourselves and stop thinking in terms of not
enough, not able or cannot. It keeps us from
from the abundance given to us. When you
are able to receive, than everything is there,
always enough!... even time, as it all begins
with you….living in the here and now.
Dwelling together in peace requires that you
see what links you to others, not what
separates you. If you see what links you, you
will respect your differences.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 8.12.2009
Why do people climb mountains? Why do
billionaires who have enough money for
1000 lifetimes work to create even more
business? Because they understand the
value of challenge. Try taking on a difficult
and meaningful challenge, something that
will force you to move out of your comfort
zone. Something you truly want to achieve
and something that will compel you to
grow in the process. Once you dive into
that challenge it will energize every area
of your life and watch your life move
rapidly forward.
The wealth of a rich man can be stolen, but
the happiness and wisdom of the wise remains.
Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from
the circumstances of your life but from the
conditioning of your mind.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 7.12.2009
Spent a moment right now to look around
your home. Are you keeping objects that
don’t serve you anymore? Pick one of
those objects and let it go, give it to a
friend, recycle it or sell it. Objects have
energy, broken or useless possessions
clutter your energy. Keep around you
only those things you value and appreciate.
They will reflect that higher energy back
to you.
Replace the words; ‘I have to’ with;
‘I choose to’, and notice the
difference in how you feel.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 4.12.2009
Communicate without criticism, without judgment,
without any intent to hurt or harm. Communicate
your love, do not communicate to harm or to win.
Put aside ego and pride as they only get in the way.
Listen carefully with detachment and perspective.
Make your shared space a sanctuary so the other
can speak safely. Do not speak until you have
something to say, preferable something positive.
Do not speak reflexively. It is always safer to be
quiet, to listen, to understand. Never act or speak
from anger. Words have a lasting effect and power,
and they are not easily forgotten. You can never
completely erase the wounds inflicted by words
of anger or hate. Silence is the best language for
communication. The power of silence develops
all mental and spiritual powers that are needed
to tackle various situations successfully.
Being in body gives you the opportunity to explore
the mistaken belief that your needs are different
from the needs of others.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY 30.11.2009
Stop waiting for things to get better, stop
wishing everything was perfect and simply
live the fullness and richness of what is.
Think of the very best day you have ever
experienced, then imagine it ten times
better and you will have a glimpse of the
very real possibilities of your life on this
very best day. No circumstance is powerful
enough to hold you back when you chooses
to make the most of the life you have been
given. Go ahead and live this day that is
made for you.
As you wake up and start your day, you don’t
have to think of the past and remember
mistakes, instead focus upon the future
and what you will create.
No one can go back and make a brand new
start, anyone can start from now and make
a brand new ending.
