Live NOW

Most of us miss the point in living? We either live in the past and ruminate over things we cannot change or project ourselves in the future ruminating about things that is likely to happen - most of the time these thoughts make us feel miserable, inadequate and unhappy.

We miss living our lives because the only time we have is this moment - Now. There is no guarantee of any other time. The past is there, we cannot go back and erase what has been done but we can decide what to do now.   When we are living in the moment we can live our passion. I can be present with those I meet and live that moment. When we live in the moment there is energy. We can change our circumstance by deciding what to do moment by moment.

Being mindful helps to connect with what is now. A tip:  focus on your breath, feel the cool air going in through your nostrils and gently, smoothly release it through your mouth. Do that a few times and feel great. Sometimes in our busy-ness living over yesterday's lives we forget to breathe.  Take a few more deep breaths and slowly release it through your mouth. Focus on your breath. Be present with that.

Do not dwell in the past,
Do not dream of the future,
Concentrate the mind on
the present moment.
~ Buddha ~

Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.”
― Eckhart Tolle

What beliefs you hold as true that are holding you back from what you want

Belief is the software that runs your life. If you believe in something you act according to that belief.
If you believe that people are untrustworthy, then you will not trust people, you will always doubt their sincereity until you are proven wrong.

If you believe that no one would hire you for your dream jobs because you don't feel you deserve it or will not be able to do it, then you will not apply for such positions and no one will hire you because you would project your own deficiency during the interview and the employer would not have confidence and you and you would not get that job.

If however you believe that you are capable of doing the job, learning the ropes in no time, bursting with confidence that you are worthy of this job, that's the energy you would take with you and people will feel and before you know if you are offered the job of your dreams.

Take that step for your dream.

How is it going today?

It's Monday and sometimes some of us get the blues for no reason - maybe you do not like your job, maybe you hate leaving your baby for strangers to take care of, maybe you're not just into yourself. Whatever reasons you might have for feeling the blue today, know that you can change that by changing your thoughts.
Little tricks that you can play on yourself is just by looking up, tilt your head backwards, take a deep breath count to five and let it out through your mouth.  Do this about three times. Another trick you can play on yourself is to clap your hands vigorously in front of your heart and as you do that imagine you are smashing to smithereens a grey ball. Watch how your mood improves.  It works for me. let me know if it works for you.

A quote to brighten your day
“Love is our true essence. Love has no limitations of caste, religion, race, or nationality. We are all beads strung together on the same thread of love. To awaken this unity--and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature--is the true goal of human life. The sun shines down, and its image reflects in a thousand different pots filled with water. The reflections are many, but they are each reflecting the same sun. Similarly, when we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people." ~Ammachi

What are your broadcasting today?

We are walking advertisement of our inner lives because we are about what is inside.  Whatever we think about shows up in our living experience.  If you are not happy with your life and you are putting out some negative energies, negativity will be showing up and you may say that you just have bad luck.  What you need to do is to flip that switch - start changing the way you think.  You are the master programmer of your life, you and only you have the power to deliver different outcomes for yourself by changing the way you think.
 The following are quotes from Lester Levenson

Every problem is an ego problem. In order to have a problem there has to be an ego-frustration.
Feeling sad about anything is holding onto it. Say, 'This is something I have to let go of,' and immediately you will feel better.

How are you feeling today?

Are you conscious of what you are broadcasting to the world.  I was listening to My New Day with Dr. Jim Richards - I really like his ministry. I think he is awesome. He said in the absence of dignity and worth we are tempted to control others but in the presence of dignight and worth we feel comfortable with dealing with our own issues.

He said how we feel about ourselvles are what we project unto other people around us and the judgement we pass about others are about us not them.  This is so true if you think about it. We are mirrors for each others.  Next time you are ticked off by someone ask yourself what is it about what you are seeing that you recognize in yourself and do not like.

You are loved, you are significant and you are not here by accident but by design. And so it is.

Helpful quote

Obstacles are like mountains. When you look up at the mountain from the valley, it seems so big and difficult to climb.

Instead of looking at obstacles from below, try taking an eagle's eye view. From this viewpoint, you can take in the whole picture, see where you are and come up with a strategy to overcome the obstacle.

Don't be overwhelmed by the mountains, just remember obstacles are hurdles for you to fly over.

Live passionately now

"Say to yourself, ‘I’m here on purpose, I can accomplish anything I desire, and I do it by being in harmony with the all-pervading creative force in the universe.'"
—Wayne Dyer

Living your passion feels right

Are you feeling right today? Are you doing the thing you love to do best? Are you afraid? What's holding you back.
Fear is our biggest stumbling block. It stops movement and we know that the winner is always the one who moves.   Tony Robbins was the first person I heard said that one of the critical factors in achieving success is movement.  If you do not move nothing happens.
Do not let fear deny you the life you were born to live and prosper in. That would be a tragedy and if the Eastern philosophy is correct you would have to return to this dimension until you get it right.
Take that step.

Action is the foundational key to all success.
Pablo Picasso

 

Surround yourself with people who are really good and really passionate about what they do regardless of what it is… positivity and passion make a powerful combination.”
― Rachael Bermingham

Are you living your passion?

List your top five things that you are passionate about.  Then check to see if what you are doing now is aligned with what you see as your passion. If you are not doing your passion, ask yourself why, what is blocking you and start today doing something to move you closer to your passionate live.

Do it now. Now is all you have.
