EACH DAY IS A GIFT

A gift of time…

With which to create,

To build, to give, to grow,

To live simply-

Simply, to live…

A gift of opportunity…

To listen, and to really hear-

To touch,

And to really feel-

To reach out

To the soul of another,

To connect more deeply

With your own…

To be open, to be free,

To be you…

A gift of beauty…

An invitation to enjoy

The blessings of nature-

The warmth of sunshine,

Or the freshness of rain…

The stillness of the mountains,

Or the passion of the sea…

To recognize the miracles

In everyday things,

And the magic in everyone…

A gift of hope…

That gray skies will grow sunny,

Rain clouds will bring rainbows,

Stars will shine brighter,

And dreams will come true…

A gift of life,

And all of its goodness-

Each day… is a gift of love.

Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson

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, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small
Does not 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 were 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’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

“Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there -buried under the 50,000 thoughtsthe average person thinks every day.” ~Deepak Chopra

The Seven Blunders of the World is a list that Gandhi gave to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, shortly before his assassination.

The seven blunders are:
* Wealth without work.
* Pleasure without conscience.
* Knowledge without character.
* Commerce without morality.
* Science without humanity.
* Worship without sacrifice.
* Politics without principle.

How do you attract a true friend, one who will help you on your path to build the strongest heart, create the deepest character, and nurture the greatest self-respect? Avoid wasting time with people who do not help you better yourself, who only distract you from feelings of loneliness. Use your solitude as the most valuable time to forge your self-identity and become your own best friend, the person you once dreamed of finding.  This path requires self-reliance and patience, while the easy way, the way of superficial friends, is paved with insecurity and impatience.  As you progress in this magnificent and arduous spiritual evolution, you will develop a rock-solid foundation of happiness beyond your wildest dreams and thus, naturally, attract true friendship. ~From Taro Gold

“Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented, and happy attitudes and your day will tend to be pleasant and successful.” ~Norman Vincent Peale.

I find this statement to be very true. Most days I begin by reading inspirational quotes for my posts on Facebook, or if I need quiet time, I have a room in my house which is where I do my spiritual studies, yoga & qi gong, and meditation. This room is a sanctuary for me, and whenever I have issues to deal with, or I feel anxious, I head to my peaceful room to sit, read, or just gaze out the window…We all need places like this, even if it is a corner of a room somewhere in your home that is set aside for time to recharge and refresh your energy.

Taking the time in the beginning of a day to get inspired is critical toward having a positive attitude on a daily basis. Some people get out of bed and first thing turn on the TV, radio or computer and start reading or listening to the latest “news,” the latest bits of insanity about what is going on in the world. If you do this, please notice how you feel after you walk away from this negative bombardment of information. Notice how your body feels. Are you tense, more anxious, sad or depressed? If so, please try something new.  If this is your normal  pattern, get up in the morning, and practice saying “Thanks for a new day!” first thing when you are conscious. Spend a few moments before getting out of bed telling yourself that you are going to have a great day. Tell yourself that you have everything you need to enjoy the here and now. Relax completely for a minute or two while taking some deep breaths. Then do some gentle stretching before getting out of bed.  Do not turn on the TV or radio unless it is tuned into something soothing and peaceful. The idea is to spend time in quiet, or find something inspirational to listen to or read. I have a little booklet with daily affirmations which you can also find online which is called the ‘Daily Word.’ I always feel better after reading this booklet, but since it is Christian based and this wouldnt resonate with everyone, find something that really lightens your thoughts, feelings and mood. There are many online sites for inspiration and countless books and materials to tap into that you can gather that is specifically for you.  If you just take this one step toward having a peaceful and inspired morning you are going to have better and brighter days. You will be Living In Tune!
