The Beauty of You
Every dog, Every cat, Every squirrel, insect, leaf, tree, or star is an exactly what a dog, cat, squirrel, insect, leaf, tree, or star is supposed to be. Made in the image and likeness of the Divine Ideal, it is exactly what it was designed to be. Some big, some small, some bright, some dull. It doesn’t matter. They’re all exactly what they’re supposed to be, slowly evolving from and perfected by all who have gone before.
As far as we know, humans are the only creatures who question this. We don’t question this so much with dogs, cats, squirrels, insects, leaves, trees, or stars. We question this about ourselves, as if we’re somehow different from the rest of the Universe – the only “mistake” the Universe has made. It can’t be. You are worthy of Love, Beauty, Joy, and Appreciation. You are a representation of the Universe at the point where you exist. Big or small, Bright or dull, it doesn’t matter. You are exactly what you are meant to be. You belong on this planet and in this Universe just as much as anyone or anything else. Only your thinking makes it different.
Open yourself to the experience around you. Allow Light in your life. Let it warm you and Love you. You are meant to be Loved.
Something to Think About…..
September 11 2011
September 11 represents all that we don’t want in the civilized society we want our children to inherit.
September 11 represents what can happen when Fear and Anger run rampant within the Soul.
Today, let us calm our negative emotional expressions, so We represent Love and Acceptance – making Fear and Anger unnecessary historical expressions.
Today, let us move our intentions away from war towards the peaceful building of the society we want our children to live in.
Today, let us move our money away from military weapons of destruction to feeding the hungry and clothing the naked.
Today, let us move our attention away from being afraid.
Today, let us focus our money towards curing disease.
Today.
Are you doing what you love to do?
Are you doing what you love to do? Are you doing work that makes your heart sing? Are you doing work that expands your vision of yourself? If not, what could I do to convince you to do it?
Do you work at a job or at tasks that feel out of alignment with what you’re really meant to do? Do you feel that your best skills and abilities are going unused? If you do, please consider using them.
When I’ve talked to people who have worked at jobs that used less than their full abilities, I have learned this:
Holiday Greetings
It’s been a while since I’ve been here. I’ve taken time to shop, spend time with friends and family, and to celebrate the holiday season. For me, it was a good holiday season. I was able to give some gifts that were really appreciated, and spend time thinking about what this season is really about. Love, Family, Service, Spirit – not necessarily in that order.
I’ve also gotten to spend some time researching and thinking about life purpose. I found a few good books along the way, as well as a couple of good websites that I will introduce you to. Read more »
Charter for Compassion
“I say that religion isn’t about believing things. It’s ethical alchemy. It’s about behaving in a way that changes you, that gives you intimations of holiness and sacredness.” – Karen Armstrong
As a former Roman Catholic Nun and a prolific religious writer, Karen Armstrong has studied the religions of the world at length. From her perspective, there is an underlying commonality amongst the world’s major religions. That commonality was expressed in her wish for a formal world-wide Charter For Compassion. In the video that follows, Karen makes her case for the Charter For Compassion. She won one of the 2008 TED prizes to help her actualize that dream. Today, her dream is being executed. For information on the execution of that dream, click here.
About
I decided to put this page together at the urging of friends. Several of them were encouraging me to do this, as they were sure that my words were needed to help counteract all of the negativity out there. I’m not a pollyanna. I understand the problems of the world. I also understand that most of our problems are of our own making, and that the only way for any of us to solve our problems is to start exactly where we are, and solve what we can. We made the problems. We can solve them.
I know we cannot improve our lives by being negative. I know we cannot create what we want by fighting what we don’t want. It just doesn’t work that way, though the nightly news is full of people who are determined to do so using just that method. The only way out is to find a path of cooperation, Love, and compassion. This Blog is written so we can find a way to do just that. I hope you join me.
I work as a Life Coach at GLORIUS LIFE Coaching. If you are interested in Life Coaching Services, you can find more information about the services we provide at www.gloriuslife.com.
