Much of our lives are spent running after things and doing things. We forget that being comes before doing. Remember this and make an effort to simply "be". Be in the moment, stop and observe - when you do life will respond and whatever is required will come your way. Learning to be is learning to be at peace and that is our most fundamental nature.

What we perceive in another is what we empower within another, and more importantly, what we perceive is what we empower within ourselves in that moment…….. And what we choose to see is usually what we get.

Peace is not a passive attitude; it is an active state. It requires having constant attention in order to live and to respond as a peaceful being to any upset in life.

Thoughts are the beginning of our creation. Thoughts are like the magic carpet on which the soul rides across eternity - in reality, there are no endings, no conclusions. Rest for the spirit comes when we allow only the current of the purest thoughts to flow through our mind - thoughts which carry good wishes and blessings for ourselves and others. This is not so much going with the flow as beingi n the flow, and being refreshed by the flow. It is how we refresh ourselves ………… After all, when we have powerful, positive thoughts for and about others, who experiences them first?...........

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror…………

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now.......... And if the past cannot prevent you from being present now, then what power does it have? (Eckhart Tolle)
If you think life is a struggle then you will always be struggling. If you think life is a breeze, then your attitudes and actions will convey lightness and easiness….. And that's what attracts everything you need, and much more – So make today a breeze not a battle.
Acceptance gives the experience of being like an Angel - never judging, never criticising ……….and never worrying.
As our thoughts, so is our consciousness……. and as is our consciousness so is our life. Let your first thought of the day simply be peaceful. Plant this seed. Water it with attention - and you will gather the calm.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Dr Wayne W Dyer
Why have we forgotten how to dream? With our innocence gone, and the entertainment industry doing all the work for us, we quickly lose our capacity to dream possible futures. Stop. Close your eyes. And dream again. Put the stars in your dreams. And then reach for them. No need to struggle. Simply nurture the dream, sustain the vision, and watch it come true. It must, it's the universal law.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. - Einstein

If it is the quality of your consciousness at this moment that determines the future then what is it that determines the quality of your consciousness?..... Your degree of presence.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, and to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting - for in movement there is life, and in change there is power! Alan Cohen
