To all those who want to listen to the Talk Radio Show Interview I had, with Lisa Cypers Kamen

There is always something to celebrate, so long as life is being lived.

Neale Donald Walsch

Many people make themselves unhappy simply by finding it impossible to accept life just as it is presenting itself right now. There is always something to celebrate, so long as life is being lived.

Cooperation instead of Competition

“We’re so busy competing with each other, that we’re using only a fraction of our resources in order to solve problems. If everyone realized that, to survive, we need to learn to cooperate & adapt to our world as opposed to dominate it and each other, it would change everything.” - Hale Dwoskin

The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination

“The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one’s own ignorance concerning one’s self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one’s self.” - Aldous Huxley

Love Your Enemy?

 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, “If we could read the secret history of our enemies we would find in each man’s sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.”
Harboring anger and hatred toward anyone guarantees that you remain in low energy fields where problems will continue to crop up repeatedly in your life. Try examining every relationship in which you feel judgmental thoughts of anger and hatred. Replace those thoughts with energies of acceptance, kindness, cheerfulness, and love. You will have to make a personal commitment to, first of all, notice what you are feeling and then exercise your ability to choose to send love. When your heart becomes pure, your enemy becomes your friend, or even more significantly, your teacher. Your worst enemies are your greatest teachers because they allow you to examine the emotions of anger and revenge and then to transcend them. They give you the exact tools you need to elevate yourself to the spiritual energies that eliminate problems and provide solutions.
When you send love in response to hate you accomplish one of the most difficult things for anyone. As I look into my conscience I can now honestly say, I have no one who I can call an enemy. Over the course of my life I have been disappointed many times. Some have borrowed and never repaid. Some have forgotten their promises. Some have left me for others. Some have cursed me and spread rumors about me. Some have stolen from me. I send love to them all, mindful of the Buddha’s words: “We live happily indeed, not hating those who hate us. Among men who hate us we dwell free from hatred.” It has been this transformation in my own thinking, perhaps more than anything else, that has allowed me to move out of those low energy problem regions of my life. It is a powerful strategy for raising your spiritual awareness.

Money is a servant; you are the master.

Always remember, money is a servant; you are the master. Be very careful not to reverse that equation. - Bob Proctor

Positive People

Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. - Booker T. Washington

Things that catch our heart

There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those. - Michael Nolan

Why do heaven and earth last forever?

Heaven is eternal—the earth endures.
Why do heaven and earth last forever?
They do not live for themselves only.
…Serve the needs of others,
And all your own needs will be fulfilled.
Through selfless action, fulfillment is attained.

We're either growing or we're dying

Have you heard the expression, "We're either growing or we're dying."? Well, what they're saying is, "You can't stand still." We are either giving our attention to where we're going or we're giving attention to where we've been or we're giving our attention to where we are, but in any case, wherever we're giving our attention is our vibration, and the Universe is matching it.
--- Abraham
