In Our Minds

Friday May 31, 2013

Things often seem more daunting and difficult in our minds than they actually are.

In our minds, we make mountains out of molehills; we create big dramas out of tiny conflicts, and we see the work we need to do as insurmountable.

The good news is that you can always change your mind.

This one is a good one to remember. Sometimes, it's as if we are own worst enemies, biggest critics. It's a good reminder that we create our own realities in our minds, why not make it a peaceful, stress free one right?

Happy friday yoda :thumbup:
 
The Grass Is Always Greener?

Wednesday June 5, 2013

It’s human nature to want a life like someone else’s. Even if we know in our hearts that another person’s world isn’t perfect, it doesn’t stop us from our superficial longings.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. A desire for bigger things is good if it propels us to nurture the blessings in our own life, and to do the work necessary to create even more.

The grass isn’t greener on the other side. It’s greener on the lawn most cared for.
 
Keep Going

Monday June 10, 2013

When we accomplish something, it’s in our nature to rest on our laurels and bask in the glory.

While it is healthy to enjoy our successes, it shouldn’t keep us from continuing towards even greater goals.

The highway to paradise is lined with many resting stops. Resist the temptation to get off of the road, and you will find yourself closer to your dream destinations every day.
 
Your Potential Is Waiting

Wednesday June 12, 2013

When life’s challenges stop coming at us, we sometimes assume it means we’re at a good place in our spiritual growth.

The kabbalists teach that this couldn’t be further from the truth. When everything is copasetic, we are spiritually flat-lining because we are no longer growing, or learning.

The universe directs us through the disturbances in our life. This is not to say that we need to seek them out, but simply to open our eyes and engage.

Your potential is waiting for you in the challenges you will choose to face.

True, but isn't it good to be able to "spiritually flat-line" once in a while?
 
For All People

Friday June 14, 2013

Everyone wants world peace, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes to make it happen.

Ending global conflicts begin with ending individual ones. Extending tolerance goes a long way toward creating a better world for everyone.

Opening the door to peace depends on us. Tolerance and human dignity are the keys.
 
All We Need To Defeat

Tuesday June 18, 2013

We don’t need to defeat others to get a dream job, our soul mate, or any other blessings we seek.

All we need to defeat is that part of ourselves that is self-defeating.

Loving ourselves enough to remove our destructive tendencies is how we make room for more blessings.
 
Avoiding Pain

Wednesday June 19, 2013

From paying off our debts to seeing the dentist, we sometimes put off experiencing pain as long as we can – and end up suffering more in the long run.

The longer we put off whatever it is we need to do, the more difficult it will become.

Pain cannot be avoided without creating more pain.

Taking responsibility not only quickens the process, but makes it a whole lot less difficult.
