Pema Chodron

"…feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, beneficial for us, it’s with us wherever we are."

Look for The Good in Others


Trying to change someone is a waste of time. The very thought of changing someone is saying that they are not good enough as they are, and it is soaked with judgment and disapproval. That is not a thought of ...appreciation or love, and those thoughts will only bring separation between you and that person.

You must look for the good in people to have more of it appear. As you look only for the good things in a person, you will be amazed at what your new focus reveals.

May the joy be with you,

Rhonda Byrne

Genius


"Never doubt for even one minute that there is genius within you, awaiting your recognition of it. No matter what the gift of your genius may be, the magic ingredient in manifesting it is always the same: discipline. The “D” word sends chills down many a spine, and there are times when I resist it with all my might. When I do catch myself resisting the D word, I often use this visualization: Think of discipline as a drilling tool, boring through all the layers of resistance, cutting straight through to the core of your creative genius. See the energy of that genius flowing out into expression through you. Discipline gives focus and direction to our energy of intention, which in turn unleashes the genius." ~Dennis Merritt Jones
"In my work with people, I never cease to be amazed at how often they tend to focus on what they don’t have in life rather than the incredible good they do have. It is not just folk wisdom that tells us we should be focusing on the good in our lives now, it is understanding the spiritual dynamics of a universe that only knows how to increase the energy of that upon which we focus our attention. The universe doesn’t know or care if our glass is half empty or half full, that is a determination we make." ~Dennis Merritt Jones

Every experience serves a higher purpose...

Every "Saint" has past & every "Sinner" has a future...we are not bound by our mis~takes & errors we are liberated by them when embraced with awareness. Never allow others to condemn or hold you to a moment no longer here. Keep choosing, evolving, & risking. With our challenges we transcend & grow. In Truth there are no mistakes every experience serves a higher purpose.~Judah Isvaran

Direction versus Speed.

‎"Be easy with yourself, know that where you are is perfect...never doubt that you are on the PATH...awaken to it, be conscious in it, be alive in it, have Faith in it...the Universe does not know time & space. Honor your Path by realizing there is no where to get to, the journey is PRESENCE. Direction is more important than speed. "~Judah Isvaran
