Equanimity is viewing
those we love
and those we hate
and wanting both to be happy.

Thoughtful Thursdays #79 – Going with the Flow
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.

Good and Bad
everyone has a combination
of good and bad qualities.
the ones we dwell on
all too often
tell more about us
than about others.

Thoughtful Thursdays # 78 Compassion
Inspired by the book: The Tibetan Book of the Living and Dying” I was reading about Tonglen Meditation. It is mostly about compassion.
Compassion is one of my favorite subjects. How do we have compassion? How is it beneficial?
1. Remember a time when you felt deep love, just remember the feeling. Or read something that invokes the feeling. Stay with it and extend it to yourself, environment, friends, loved ones and even your enemies.
2. Remember that others are the same as you are. We all want happiness and be free from suffering.
3. Put yourself in the other persons place. We all bleed suffering the same way.
4. Actions speak louder than words. If it is possible try to help others in a practical way.
All beings everywhere suffer, let your heart go out them. Compassion is greater that pity. Honor those who suffer.
You are no better or greater than anyone else. Dedicate your positive actions for the welfare of others.
It will benefit all beings and return to you ten fold.

Storms
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
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.

Buddhist Prayer
May I be given the appropriate difficulties so that my heart can truly open with compassion.

Thoughtful Thursdays #76 – Doors
There seems to be something enormous affecting everyones life.It’s and invisable door.
I am not sure what it is. I know it is not a dieity. It doesn’t matter how many prayers you say, spells you cast or sacrifices one makes, or positive thinking affirmation we use, none of it works permanently. What is meant to happen will happen.
Ever notice how the movement of life is always in charge. We can call it a name but it is beyond that.
Between our free will and the natural expression of life we are constantly lead to the next level. We can cooperate or kick and scream but either way, we are lead forward through a door to our future.
Happy travels.

Abraham Hicks – Decisions
Make a decision and then make the decision right. Line up your Energy with it. In most cases it doesn’t really matter what you decide. Just decide. There are endless options that would serve you enormously well, and all or any one of them is better than no decision.
—Abraham

Settle In
Which is better – letting situations play themselves to where they are supposed to be.
Or
Pushing for what you want.
I am not sure. I do know that whether you push or not situations will settle to where they are supposed to be.
