Thought For The Day: June 11, 2021″ Say No To The Drama Club”

Happy Friday,

Let’s end the week by eliminating some drama from our lives. When dealing with the drama of others we have choices. We can let ourselves get caught up in it (which drama people LOVE) or we can take away the keys and refuse to take that side trip. Your inner peace is worth it.

LONELINESS

“When humans find themselves surrounded by nothing but objects, the response is always one of loneliness.”
— Brian Swimme

Soul lives through relationship and it is in soul that we find meaning. We can have meaningful relationships with people, animals and other beings, projects, ideas and ideals.

How much time do you devote to building relationships with things?

“Loneliness is caused by an alienation from life. It is a loneliness from your real self.”
— Maxwell Maltz

“No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.”
— George Eliot

Chance
“What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!”

-Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667)


Is there such a thing as chance, or coincidence, or serendipity? Or is everything carefully orchestrated and organized by a Higher Power? Chance seems to be the unexpected, but then we have to think: who is doing the expecting? Something might come as a surprise to us, but it might also have been planned in the cosmos since before time.

You can more fully embrace this change in the near future.

  2. Pay attention to what has heart and meaning.
  3. Tell the truth without blame or judgment.
  4. Be open to outcome, not attached to outcome.

Chance
“There is no such thing as chance; and what seems to us the merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.”

-Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805)


Sometimes when we look at something very close up, it doesn’t make sense. Like when you have just one piece of the puzzle, you can’t figure out what the whole picture is. But then when we pull back it all comes into perspective, we see how everything “fits” together. Everything happens for a reason, we’re all here for a reason. It might not make sense to us, but as time goes on and things fall into place, we see the big picture – and we see that it is beautiful.

Daily Good: The Wisdom of Forgetting What You Know

I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

  • Richard P. Feynman –

The Wisdom of Forgetting What You Know

We are so afraid to let go, to just be, to allow the unfolding of this marvelous life without getting in the way. This fear keeps us paralyzed and stuck. And longing for the peace that is possible — if only we would put down all the efforts we make to know. There is no greater gift you can give yourself than the invitation to enter the world of not knowing. Why? If you are always going to know what you know now, things will always stay the same. How could they change? And by thinking you know what will happen, you are closing yourself off to the unimaginable — endless peace, unspeakable joy, awe and wonder.” Gail Brenner shares tips on how to “forget what you know.” { read more }

Inner Journey: HOPE AND DISAPPOINTMENT

“It’s precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.”
— Max Frisch

“Don’t get your hopes up!”

Were you warned of this as a child? What does this say? It says that life is bound to disappoint you. It says, don’t aim high because you’re not likely to get what you want. It says that we can’t expect good things to happen to us.

As our thinking creates our reality, this kind of thinking dooms us to a mundane existence. It’s time to change our stories. Why not focus the immense power of our hearts and minds on bringing to fruition the very best life has to offer? Allow yourself to hope and believe in all possibilities.

“Hope is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.”
— Samuel Smiles

Chance
“Where observation is concerned, chance favors only the prepared mind.”

-Louis Pasteur, 1854


Sometimes we get ourselves into such a routine that we lose our power of observation. We don’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak! But when we open up our vision, expand our awareness, we start to see patterns. And then we see that things are not so random at all. We can prepare ourselves, and make what seems like “chance” work in our favor.

Inner Journey: SPIRITUAL PATHWAYS

“In any way that men love me in that same way they find my love: for many are the paths of men, but they all in the end come to me.”
— Song of God, Bhagavad Gita

Spirit – the life force – exists in everything. It follows, then, that ANY path, any encounter is spiritual if we have the awareness to see it as such. Going deeper, going higher, emptying, connecting, believing or disbelieving, bouncing off the bottom, experiencing the heights, in pain, in ecstasy ….

Too often, we search afar for our own purpose when it is in our lives all the time, waiting for us to express it more openly. Bring greater awareness to each encounter and situation in life. Tune in to what you are inspired to do, who you are inspired to be. Your answers are waiting for you to pay attention – every moment!

“…focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.”

Chance
“Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.”

-Ovid


Are we ready for opportunity when it presents itself? We don’t have x-ray vision, we can’t see around corners, but good things are always there for us at every turn. We can make the most of chance by being prepared to say “yes!”

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: Justice

You might prefer to do most things on your own today, but that may not be permitted. Find ways to involve others and enlist help, or simply let them do their part. Wait until tonight to decompress in private. It’s important to keep an even temper and not let others manipulate you emotionally. Your feelings are being strongly projected, so treat others with tact and avoid anger

Thought For The Day: June 7, 2021″ No Approval Needed”

Happy Monday,

Just a reminder today about loving self acceptance. The truth is that we do not need the approval of others to be happy. People who point fingers and fault with others are unhappy with themselves. It’s easier to look down on someone than it is to do the work that will help them feel good about themselves. Your happiness is worth the effort. You’ve got this!

Daily Good: Love Letters from Seaweed

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.

  • Alan Watts –

Love Letters from Seaweed

“Love Letters from Seaweed was created during the summer months I spent exploring mid-Coast Maine. Each day just before sunrise, I biked to Birch Point Beach to witness the shores changing topography and the traces of ocean life spilled by the tide. Intrigued, I photographed spontaneous configurations of seaweed and natural artifacts in unworldly colors, brought together by spume and sand.” Visual artist Katherine Minott shares more. { read more }

Inner Journey: PERFECTIONISM

“We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves. The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don’t accept others the way they are.”
— Don Miguel Ruiz

“The maxim ‘Nothing but perfection’ may be spelled ‘Paralysis.'”
— Winston Churchill

“After enough mirror gazing, we all develop our ‘cosmic sense of humor.’ We no longer try to be perfect, or try to get all our work done in time. We become content with whatever life brings. Just to deal with what comes up without crucifying ourselves or others is enough of a challenge.”
— Paul Ferrini

“Good enough never is.”
— Debbi Fields

Self
“I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.”

-Golda Meir (1898-1978)


This is conviction. This is instinct. We all have the ability to listen to our hearts, to take on the big undertakings, in spite of any doubts or questions. We just need to summon the courage to do so. When we know our self so well we can’t help but do anything less.

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: Wheel of Fortune

Whatever you have planned or prepared for today, it probably won’t happen according to the script. Be flexible and expect the unexpected. It may not be anything big, so don’t completely abandon your agenda unless you must. It could just be a day of endless interruptions. Keep that sense of humor handy, and maybe find an inspiring idea or two in it all.
