You are being Healed right now.
~ Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch
For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.
One sees clearly only with the heart.
Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing,
of just going along, listening to all the things
you can't hear, and not bothering.
Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath
There are four questions of value in life...
It’s all perfect, this Universe we are in.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
If you think you can or you think you can’t,
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it;
I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for.
Try squeezing a handful of water, and see
how quickly it disappears. But relax and let your
hand flow in the same water, and you have the
experience of the water as long as you like...
(Relationships) do not cause pain and unhappiness. They bring out the pain and unhappiness that is already in you.
The thing that is really…amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
Unconditional love comes out of a broken heart,
that has been healed.
Whenever anything negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it, although you may not see it at the time"
If you slip, it doesn’t mean you’re less valuable.
Fear can be like a prison. It is, however, a self made prison. Many are imprisoned by fear. No one else can liberate them from this prison. Others may inspire them but they must liberate themselves.
Beauty is only measured by ugly people.
The pain that you create now is always some form of non-acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment. On the emotional level, it is some form of negativity. The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind.
Tell me what you are for, and I will show you what
is going to expand in a positive way. Tell me what
you are against, and I can show you what is going
to expand in a destructive way.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless – like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot,
it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.
Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference.
You are that which you are seeking.
Your happy destiny is unavoidable.
In ancient China, the Taoists taught that a constant inner smile, a smile to oneself, insured health, happiness and longevity. Why? Smiling to yourself is like basking in love: you become your own best friend. Living with an inner smile is to live in harmony with yourself.
Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.
The person you call an enemy is an exaggerated aspect of your own shadow self.
Have no fear of failure. You cannot fail. You can only produce results. Failure is a judgment. Success is a judgment. There is only a process of learning. True learning is shown by what you do with your results.
Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.
Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing, Life itself reveals again and again the opposite: that letting go is the path to real freedom.
Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
You are a living magnet. What you attract into your life is in harmony with your dominant thoughts.
In the Magical Universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents...
Humor helps us to think out of the box. The average child laughs about 400 times per day, the average adult laughs only 15 times per day. What happened to the other 385 laughs?
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. Love is there if you want it to be. You just have to see that its wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it.
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.
What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.
Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around.
Peace of mind is really as easy as riding a bike, once you know how you just do it.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
You are now in control of your life. You see, the Ego is never in control. The Ego is controlled by wishes for comfort and convenience on the part of the body, by demands of the mind, and by outbursts of the emotions. But the Higher Nature controls the Body and the Mind and the Emotions. I can say to my Body, "Lie down there on that cement floor and go to sleep," and it obeys. I can say to my Mind, "Shut out everything else and concentrate on this job before you," and it's obedient. I can say to my Emotions, "Be still, even in the face of this terrible situation," and they are still. It's a different way of living. The philosopher Thoreau wrote: If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps he hears a different drummer. And now you are following a different drummer – the Higher Nature instead of the Lower.
Everyone who got to where they are had to begin where they were.
I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.
We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention, on purpose and non-judgmentally, to what goes on in the present moment in your body, mind and the world around you.
You are all geniuses, and you are all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get Peace, think Peace, live Peace, and breathe Peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of The Universe. Your playing small does not serve to world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of The Universe that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
