What gets your blood pumping?

Listen to this song while you finish reading this post (please)

Tell me your “why.” Hopefully it is as strong as what Robert Louis Stevenson wrote; “The world has no room for cowards. We must all be ready somehow to toll, to suffer, to die. And yours is not the less noble because no drum beats before you when you go out into your daily battlefields, and no crowds shout about your coming when you return from your daily victory or defeat.” You and I were made to shine, to have victory. Take a cue from the human body, in its natural state it regenerates (heals) itself. So it is un-natural if we do less than what Helen Keller stated; “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” You are up to it. You are capable of wondrous feats. Dream big.

Your mind; idle or active?

It sure is wonderful to realize more of our world. What a joy to understand we are free to live with peace-of-mind. Enjoy this enlightening tidbit (I do).

“Whether a person is aware of it or not, he is assaulted constantly by misleading and hostile voices within the mind. They speak both through you and to you. Everyone is their target, but because of their extreme cunning, few people ever detect and dismiss them. So the only problem is a lack of information about these foreign voices. The curing facts are as close as your desire for them.

It is extremely important for you to remember the following truth: these hurtful voices ARE NOT you, and they do not belong to you, but merely speak through your psychic system. Don’t take them as being your own voices, any more than you take radio voices as being your own. They simply USE unaware human beings. Your true nature has nothing to do with them. When finally dismissing these sinister speakers you make room for spiritual health and true life.”
SOLVED The Mystery Of Life, p. 145

Breakthrough (again)

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

~ Marianne Williamson, 21st century spiritual teacher
from A Return to Love

Passion

“The Greeks did not write obituaries. They only asked one question when a man died; DID THEY HAVE PASSION?”

from the movie serendipity

Can you (really) have life without it?

Love

Your heart yearns to make a difference. You are the only you there will ever be in the history of all the world. Just how important is your life? If you fail to act (and today is all we have) it will never be done.

“Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. ~ 1841-1935, U.S. Supreme Court Judge

Love never fails – 1 Corinthians 13:8

I will love bigger today so my tomorrows will warmly welcome me. Thanks for your help.

Love Never Fails

Love.

THE BRIDGE BUILDER

An old man, going a lone highway,

Came at the evening, cold and gray,

To a chasm, vast and deep and wide,

Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim;

The sullen stream had no fears for him;

But he turned when safe on the other side

And built a bridge to span the tide.

“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,

“You are wasting strength with building here;

Your journey will end with the ending day;

You never again must pass this way;

You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide -

Why build you the bridge at the eventide?”

The builder lifted his old gray head:

“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,

“There followeth after me today

A youth whose feet must pass this way.

This chasm that has been naught to me

To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.

He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;

Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.”

Will Allen Dromgoole
