2/4/2021: Daily Dose of Inspiration

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

There’s nothing more refreshing than starting anew, my friend. And you know, all it takes is you making the decision to do so.

Just let the past be the past. “Now what?” is all you ever need to focus on.

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

~ William Shakespeare

We think, we label, we decide, we define, and thereby we create. Have you noticed the connection? Have you studied which is the actual cause and which the effect? It may not be as you first might think. Think about what happens when you change your mind.

See what I mean? It’s a concept definitely worth exploring — you might just find that you are far more powerful than you realize.

It’s best to be conscious of the judgments you cast, my friend. They act like filters through which you experience life.

“How do you become centered? By shifting your awareness from the experience to the one who experiences. All experiences are on the circumference and they are continually changing. The one who experiences is at the center. Again and again come back to the one who experiences.”

~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Think of a satellite image of a hurricane; all is calm and clear in the eye while the storm rages around it.

We are here as Spirit to learn and grow from our life’s experiences. But as we venture out, we often forget that the safety and the calm clear skies of the eye are waiting for us in the center.

Wherever you are, my friend, whatever the weather, your personal refuge is in your heart, with the one who experiences.

“We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.”

~ Albert Einstein

The “person” part of the personality, your essence, resides in your heart.

You can think and think and think and think about something from every possible angle, but it’s not until your energy shifts from your head to your heart that you can truly experience it. Love, compassion, peace, joy, sadness and all the other emotions — these are not intellectual concepts, they are states of being.

Use your mind’s muscles, my friend, but don’t let them keep you from experiencing life. Balance and the best of life are found in the heart.

“Every moment you are happy is a gift to the world.”

~ Harry Palmer

Oh, to be happy…

You know how good it feels to be happy? Ever noticed how that feeling is infectious?

Go ahead, my friend, let yourself feel good. And why not give others a taste of it? It’s like you’ll be giving them permission to feel good as well.

Spread the joy!

“When just starting out on a new journey it’s only natural to feel vulnerable. After all it may seem that you have much to lose. But may I remind you that never again at any other point in the same journey will you have so much to gain.”

~ Mike Dooley

Ever heard the saying, “No risk, no gain”? Well, if it weren’t scary, my friend, it wouldn’t be nearly as worthwhile in the end.

So have faith and take that first step. One step at a time and before you know it momentum will carry you through adventure after adventure right through to your vision and beyond.

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Though it may seem like it at times, nothing happens overnight. There is always a cause and effect with a gap in between — conception, gestation, and then birth.

Honor the process, my friend, and resist the urge to rush it along. Everything develops and ripens at its own pace.

Let patience serve you.

“Holding on to anything is like holding on to your breath. You will suffocate. The only way to get anything in the physical universe is by letting go of it.”

~ Deepak Chopra

When you let go, my friend, what you’re really letting go of is control. But have you noticed that the stronger your need for control the less faith you have — the less you trust?

What is it you’re really afraid of, my friend? This is what you have to figure out first. Because until such time as you face your fear and confront it head on it will forever control you!

And what’s even more interesting, whether you’re letting go with faith or by giving up, it’s the act of truly letting go that makes it possible.
