Thoughtful Thursdays # 80 – New Year Resolutions

Standard

I don’t do well with New Year Resolutions because I feel like I am being forced to do something just because every one else is. I was never one to follow the crowd.

These resolutions seem like a set up for beating yourself up if you don’t follow through on an empty promise you made to yourself.I don’t beat myself up and neither should you.

Instead expand on what has been working in your life and leave behind what does not work.

This is the time for year for new ideas, new feelings and new adventures.

Happy New Year 2015.

Equanimity

Standard

Equanimity is viewing

those we love

and those we hate

and wanting both to be happy.

Shi Wuling

Love

Standard

You don’t need

a reason

to love someone.

You just do.

Thoughtful Thursdays #79 – Going with the Flow

Standard

I wonder if anyone else goes through this. I find when I push and try to force an event, it usually doesn’t work.

When I go with the flow of events, things work out perfect.

I must remind myself that stepping back and letting life flow without my interuption is the better way to get what is perfect and necessary.

Happy flowing.

 

 

Fate

Standard

do not resent the heavens for ones’s fate.

do not blame our problems on others.

realize the negative cause

lies within us,

was created by us,

can only be changed by us,

resolved by us with

understanding,

diligence,

love.

Shi Wuling

We Are One

Standard

we are one,

all part of one another.

if one part suffers and feels pain then

we also suffer and feel pain.

we are one.

Shi Wuling

Good and Bad

Standard

everyone has a combination

of good and bad qualities.

the ones we dwell on

all too often

tell more about us

than about others.

Shi Wuling

We Are What We Think

Standard

All that we are

arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts,

we make the world.

by Master Chin Kung

Storms

Standard

I love storms. Rain storms, Snow storms. Wind Storms, Solar Storms. Lava Storms. Emotional Storms.

The movement of each storm is necessary for progress.

The rain cools the ground and brings nourishment for the earth.

Snow storms slow all movement and brings quite rest.

Wind storms cleanse the atmosphere.

Solar storms explode on the Sun and create magnetic phenomena on the earths polar caps.

Lava storms burn away the old earth and brings in the new earth.

Emotional storms tear us down to be able to rebuild ourselves in a new and better way.

Stormy weather ahead. Welcome it.

Thoughtful Thursdays #77 – Luck

Standard

I often say to myself how lucky I am. There are serendiptious events that happen to me all the time. Like getting the perfect parking spot, avoiding a disaster, not getting what I want.

I usually shout ” I am the luckiest person in the Univerise”. No I do not have tons of money or fancy job or wonderful perfect life. On the contrary. I don’t have any of those things. I make lots of mistakes, I get scared, I make decisions with my heart instead of my mind, I fight with my gut feelings all the time. As deeply as I cry, I can be just as mean.

I think everyone is as lucky as I am because there is a natural flow to life and if you take a look at those times when things worked out they way they were supposed to be, then you are truly lucky.

Next time that happens shout “I am the luckiest person in the Universe”.

 

Carry on.
