What Drives You?

 

This poster came up on LinkedIn for me.  It says:

“If you are driven by fear, anger or price, nature will force you to compete.  If you are guided by courage, awareness, tranquility and peace, nature will serve you.”

-Amit Ray

The words were profound for me.  It made me think about the people I knew or knew of, that were very competitive and those that were peaceful and yet got things done.  The words - courage, awareness, tranquility and peace, are attributes that I strive to show every day.  

What does the quote mean for you?

Think Thoughts That Make You Feel Good!

   

“Think thoughts that make you feel good, make choices that make you feel good, and take actions that make you feel good. Then surrender the outcome, trusting that Life will bring you what you need to grow and be happy.” 

- from You Can Create An Exceptional Life by Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson

Sometimes, we make a decision or choice that leaves us feeling off balance or anxious, and sometimes, guilty.  The only way to avoid these feelings is to think thoughts that are happy and positive.  Those thoughts come from the heart and will always be the right thing at that moment in time.  Thoughts, choices, and actions that come from ego will most often be the cause of all of the drama that shows up in your life.

Blessings,

What Is Motion?

Picture from freeimages.com - showing male with briefcase walking and a large hand indicating that he should stop.

 

Motion carries you as you work through your purpose. Purpose is simply taking action, doing what you know you need to do without the prompting or without following other’s expectations. When you are in motion, you are searching. Although you may believe that you know the destination, along the way, it may change. So, watch for the signs that appear to you to changes directions. – Meditation #6 from Earth Wisdom Meditations by Judith Hirst 

Every time I hear the words, “if you don’t move forward, you move backwards”, I think of the times that I have been doing some task or project, and I hear the words, ‘Stop!”  I think that there are times when we must stop searching for that elusive “thing” that we are seeking – success, pleasure, closure, teaching, answers, or even love.  

The “stop” is the signal to change direction and plans.  Stopping is not failure; stopping is success!  You have now opened another door, and you set a new path for yourself.

Congratulations.
