The Cause of Our Suffering

Sometimes we look around and wish that things were different, that people were kinder; that people cared more about the environment; that children were safe; that everyone was fed; that we didn’t have to worry so much or experience sadness and pain.

Sometimes we wish the world wasn’t so scary. Byron Katie says “It’s what I am feeling about the world that is the cause of my suffering, not the world.” We can see the world from an enlightened, empowered perspective and that can be all that we need to create peace and joy for ourselves and others.

Right Time, Right Space

You’ll know when it’s right time, right space. Pay attention to what is around you, how the energy is moving, what is dancing in your path.

We want things to happen when we are ready … and we need to be prepared to wait; to wait for thoughts to form; to wait for circumstances to shift; to wait for whatever is lining up, to line up.

Believe that the universe operates on Right Time, Right Space and you will find peace in the ordinary and extraordinary events of your life.

Don’t Just Sit There

“Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” Will Rogers

How many times have you waited for something to happen, waited for someone to come along, waited for things to change? What would happen if you got up and started walking … today … right now?

Stay on track AND keep moving.

Not Just Another Day

Today, is not just another day. It is THE day. It is the day you will choose or not. It is the day you will think or not. It is the day you will feel or not.

It is the day you will consciously embrace the incredible opportunity to live in this lifetime. It is the day you will find the magic in every moment, the gift in every situation, the love in every relationship.

Today is THE day. Breathe it. Live it.

Hope and Choice

Harness your hope. At this time when hope is bubbling and overflowing around us, let hope keep you moving.

This is the season of choice. Choose reverence for yourself and the world around you.

Today is a gift. Let hope and choice guide you through an incredible experience of life.

We Must Always Take Sides

Elie Wiesel said “I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

As we arc into a New Year with our dreams and the promise of change, let’s take sides. Let’s stand on the side of those who believe in the inherent value of ALL living creatures. Let’s stand on the side of those who are willing to risk criticism, judgement, rejection and abandonment to do what’s right for ourselves and for all those who are vulnerable; those desperately praying for someone … for us … to speak up on their behalf. Let’s stand on the side of kindness; on the side of compassion; and always, always … on the side of love.

The Best Gift Ever

There may be gifts you give and gifts you receive during this holiday season but there is one that tops them all. As you maneuver the complex relationships and trying circumstances your greatest challenge may be in holding onto your centre; the grounded part of you that can be lost in the chaos around us. So give yourself the best gift ever. Self-forgivenenss.

Each time you do something, say something, feel something that you have an impulse to judge yourself for … stop. Forgive yourself for being distracted or losing yourself. And each time you don’t do something that will keep you on a solid inner track, forgive yourself.

Because loving and accepting yourself is the best gift ever.

It’s The Relationship That Matters

If you give, do it with intention. Be sincere. Be connected. It’s the relationship that matters.

If you receive, do it with gratitude. Be sincere. Be connected. It’s the relationship that matters.

Somehow in the frenzy of exchange we sometimes forget that the most precious gift of all is the relationship. Because it matters.

Do What You Love

Do what you love or love what you do. Spending time in suspended animation for the sake of getting something done is the equivalent of being in a coma – numbed out from life.

Like processionary caterpillars we follow the lead of others in hopes it will take us to the promised land of fulfillment. And then … we wake up and realize we never wanted to go in that direction in the first place.

Do what you love and do it now. Even if you can only do it for ten minutes every day, do it now. Because every time you engage with a passion, you signal the universe that you are ready for more.

Fear Would Be Impossible

“If you knew who walks beside you on this path that you have chosen, fear would be impossible.” This quote from A Course In Miracles might be just what you need to hear at this moment.

If you are wondering which career path to follow, confused about a relationship, struggling with your health, uncertain about a choice you need to make … remember that you are not alone. Tap into the infinite wisdom that lives and breathes within you.

Fear keeps you standing still, immobile. It robs you of life and drives you to self-sabotage. You are stronger than any fear that is holding you back. Be bold. Act. You are not alone.
