Maybe life
is all about being first after all!
Not so fast.
Being first is about
consciousness, not competitiveness,
i.e., as you sow, so shall you reap.
To be
loved, you have to be willing to love first;
to be cherished, you have to be
willing to give respect first;
to be heard, you have to be willing to listen
first;
and to experience forgiveness and freedom,
you have to be willing to
forgive first.
I honestly
believe that the only way to get to happiness
is to be happy already.
Many
people live their life according to
the formula: Do + Have = Be.
They cannot
just be happy because first they have to do x,
and then they have to have y.
In
other words, they have to have a house,
they have to do more, they have to do
even more,
they have to have a partner,
they have to have lots of money, etc.
But why not just be happy?
In the
healing process,
people often convince themselves that they have to get well
before they can choose happiness again.
In my work I encourage my clients to
honor their pain
and choose peace, to feel fear and choose love,
to face the
anger and choose forgiveness,
to experience the heartbreak and choose happiness,
and to experience guilt and choose innocence.
Gandhi once
said you have to be the change you want.
Why?
Because the mirror cannot change
without you.
And the world is only a mirror.
Remember, you see only your
thoughts.
When you shift, shift happens.
If you don't, you simply experience
more of the same.
It is no good saying,
as soon as you are open with me.
Be first.
Be different if
you want a different outcome.
Be the goal.
What to be decisions will you make today?
Think of your goals,
your challenges,
your relationships, and ask yourself,
Is how I am being going
to bring me what I really want?
Be still a moment and reset your intention
to
be loving no matter what,
to be kind in spite of everything,
to shine your
light come what may.
Your to be decisions
are between you and God.
Let nothing
steal them away.
Robert Holden
Graduation is
only a
concept.
In real life,
everyday, you graduate.
Graduation is a
process
that goes on
until the last day
of your life.
If you can grasp that,
you'll make
a difference.
~Arie Pencovici
Love would never be
a promise of a rose garden
unless
it is showered
with light of faith,
water of sincerity
and air of passion.
~Author Unknown
Love the moment.
Flowers grow
Flowers grow
out of dark moments.
Therefore,
Therefore,
each moment is vital.
It affects the whole.
It affects the whole.
Life is a succession
of such moments
of such moments
and to live each,
is to succeed.
-- Corita Kent
Silence divides us.
It diminishes our strength.
Yet all the strength
we need
awaits us.
Let someone else
know you today.
~ Unknown
Awareness is a key
ingredient in success.
If you have it,
ingredient in success.
If you have it,
teach it,
if you lack it,
if you lack it,
seek it.
~ Michael B. Kitson
Achievement is
essential
Go beyond merely being curious
about how it would be to live your
dream.
Commit to it,
and experience the satisfaction of
making it happen.
Do more than just talk about what
you’d like to do,
or what you should be doing,
or what you plan to do.
Take the persistent actions
that will actually get it done.
Within your vision of how life can
be,
there is great value,
ready and waiting to be expressed.
Bring that vision to life,
and bring that value into being.
Give your dreams the power of
focused attention and committed,
disciplined effort.
Feel how great it feels to make a
meaningful difference
in your life and in your world.
Achievement is not only something you
can do,
it is something you have a deep and
abiding longing to do.
So make your days truly rich by using
them to achieve.
Achievement is essential to the great
and wonderful experience of being
alive,
of being you.
Give yourself the gift of fulfillment
by keeping yourself working
to make a real and positive impact on
life.
