Today’s Poetry (A Secret of the Ages)

Posted on by

kids-playing

We hold back, afraid it may be taken the wrong way.

Thinking we will gain more by playing it safe.

We may feel that what we give may not be accepted.

How interesting, our grasping makes our dreams run away.

We must shine like the sun, blow like the wind.

Let the chips fall where they may and continue to be free!

What you give may soon be appreciated.

The less we are concerned the more likely it will be.

The more we meditate, the less we are concerned.

Working without concern is a secret of the ages.

You move toward your objective like it means everything.

But in your heart of hearts you have already let go.

A Positive Conversation Amongst Friends

Posted on by

Ck: I have been feeling sick the past couple days.  Sometimes it takes something like this to find out just how good you normally have it.  In the next couple of days when I am back to normal, I am going to be so thankful. The trivial things that normally get me, won’t even be able to touch me.  I’ll just remind myself that I am so fortunate to be able to function without so much pain.

Tr: Why don’t you start doing that now, be so thankful for all that you have right now?

Ck:  Man I knew you were going to say that!  but that’s ok when you are going through something I can’t wait to say the same thing to you. (Ha ha ha.)

Tr:  I hope you do.  I will probably need to hear it.  Actually, that is what you do. You are always reminding me of what I have, and how good things are. And many times right when I am complaining! You won’t even let me get into it good.

Ck:  Touche.  Time to practice my positivity now.  Be thankful right now.

Tr:  I agree,

Ck:  I am thankful that all my tires have air and I will make it to my destination.  I am thankful that my children are all healthy and happy.  I am thankful that my business is still maintaining well in spite of things being a little slower than usual.  I am thankful that I have good friends in my world to laugh and talk with.  I am thankful for this positive philosophy and my meditation teachings.  I am thankful for the restored health that is on its way. I am thankful for. . .

Today’s Poetry (Maybe It is Time)

Posted on by

Maybe it’s time to put things to the test

And once again see if the magic is real

It seems it is time for whole new adventures

Sometimes I can tell by the challenges I face

I have done this many times before

And had unbelievable beauty come my way

The Universe has spoken to me so many times

When I have the courage to follow God has shown up

I have found Heaven in the strangest of places

If you have never burst open you ask “What does he mean?”

With this science I have seen rocks turn into gold

When I changed my ways my world transformed

 

When the tough times come.  This is the time to go back to what works.   This is the time to ask the Universe for our next move.This is the time to meditate and go within. This is the time to be true to our lessons, and pay attention to the signs that come our way.

Attracting More Wonderful Gifts From The Universe

Posted on by

Yesterday I was talking to my friend Aaron who is an electrician for the union, and fellow positive guru.  He was saying that he had been working ten to twelve hours a day on his current job project, but this week, they only have him working eight hours.  He said that he was happy to be getting off early.  He also said that he would probably be back to having to work the weekends this week too. He then said he was happy for extra time and money on the weekend.

We both concluded that is the way to be in life.  “I’ll be happy and thankful for the time off when God and the Universe gives it to me, and be thankful and embrace it when the extra work comes too. I take what the Universe brings my way and work with it.”

This is what we call rolling with the Universe, and being happy for the gifts that come our way. This in turn opens up the way for, and attracts more wonderful gifts in the future.  He or she who can adopt this attitude will have many good things come their way, and they will show up as if by magic.

Peace and Blessing

Today’s Positive Poetry…There comes a time to start living as that person

Posted on by

There comes a time to start living as that person

When this time comes we will know it, and have to be true

Being true to the inner you, is the start of truly being alive

Its the start of something magical, and the whole world is anew

A true moment is so deep, it can last forever

Think back on these moments, when you want to be true

A true moment is so intoxicating, like you had never lived before

And when you are in it you can’t believe all that is taking place

In a true moment, we move past all that has held us back

and say “This is where I have to be, I can’t take it any more”

In a true moment, we take a risk and choose to forget

about how we may look, or obstacles in the way

What we have to gain, is a chance to be alive once again

So we forge forward, and begin to feel free

What do you know, I am alive once again!

When I am true to the moment, it comes in an instant!

Today’s Positive Thought (there are always new starts waiting)

Posted on by

cropped-fb081-sun_and_sky_.jpgThere are always new starts and second chances for the one who believes and is willing to work.

For if you truly believe there is a second chance for you and are willing to work for it, all kinds of ideas and information will magically show up for you to act on.

One might even conclude that the real work is in truly convincing ourselves of the great new possibilities.

The Positive Word For the Month (Compassion)

Posted on by

18

I decided to start choosing a positive word for the month.  The idea is to keep this word as my focus as I go about my days and then just be open and see what develops.  The word that came to me for this month is compassion.  I have to tell you that my experiences with compassion thus far during this month have truly been amazing. Just having the thought of being more compassionate has challenged me to exercise being this way in situations where I might not have before, especially when dealing with people who are bringing challenging behavior.  Somehow just having the word in the back of my mind as my part of my spiritual work out, has caused me to put myself in other peoples shoes, even when they may be mildly attacking me.   When I do this I find that I am at more peace with them and the whole world.  I can see the other party much more clearly than I would have otherwise.

Now here is the clincher.  Just the other day I wondered if I should share this word of the month on my blog each month or not.  I began to even wonder “is it really as powerful as it seems to be, or is it my imagination?”  Later in the day I was going to see the Peanuts movie again.  It was not by choice.  My wife wanted to see it with our son Jordan.  Jordan and I had already seen the movie and I fell asleep on much of it, and was not really too impressed.  But before going this time, my friends teasing me said “Go and enjoy it.  Look for something spiritual in it. Ha ha ha ”  Even as we joked, I was reminded that this is my way and what I am known for doing.  So I replied “yea that’s what I am going to do, look for the spiritual” When I saw the movie again I was amazed.  It was really good, quite spiritual with all kinds of insights.  And at the very end of the movie, at the culmination point, when Charlie asks. what was it that made,the new girl, his love interest, choose him.  She said “It was your compassion.”  She went on to give other reasons connected to it also, but at this moment all I could hear was the inner sound, Aum vibration, roaring, as I sat there barely feeling my body, saying to myself “wow the word of the month, compassion.  I have to share it.”

As you go through the rest of your month I invite you to invite the word, compassion, more into your focus and life as you move about your days.  If you have any stories or insights to share, please feel free to do so in the comments section of this post.  Peace and Blessings.

You are now on your way

Posted on by

1ceb7-garden20wallpaperWhen the grass is greener and the sky is bluer

know that you are on to something

When you feel unusually good and at peace

know that you are on your way

When you see a beauty that brings tears to your eyes

be sure to live in such a manner

You are now following the signs

to a life most can only imagine

When someone eases your worries

hang out with that person

When all tension goes

spend time in that place

Why do I state

what we already know?

It is so easy to forget

the guide posts to Heaven

If you meditate on what works

they call you a master

If you do what you love

you master your fate

If you know what you love

be true to yourself

If you can do this

you are now on your way

Poetry (Is There AnotherLife?)

Posted on by

b9cb3-free_landscape_wallpapers

Is there another life somewhere
where you know you that you belong?

is there another place
where you know you are meant to be?

Are there other ways
that you know you should be living?

Ways that go along
with who you are in this other place?

Does this other life
seem like it is a million miles away?

So far from where you are
and never to be reached?

Do you feel like
your getting there is almost impossible?

Too many hurdles to jump
Too many mountains in the way?

But what if this place
is already in existence?

What if it is real and
you are right there enjoying this other life?

What if you could see it for a moment
and truly get a glimpse?

Of this life in this other realm
would it change your life today?

Would you then know it is real
and feel that you belong?

Would you know that it is just as real
as where you find yourself right now?

Would you do what it takes
to be in the new place?

That you saw in your dreams
and said “that’s how my life should be?”

Yes
if you decided that you have to be there

Yes
if you determined to apply the great secrets

Yes if you choose to your live
in the great way

And and walk the magical path
enjoying all your steps

Positive Guru Reminder: The great ones say that everything is everywhere always. This means that your highest good, your supreme happiness, your wonderful situation is in existence right now, whether you can see it and are experiencing it or not. So the idea is to meditate to be at peace enough to see it and to live like the person who belongs in that situation. Place yourself in the atmosphere that convinces you that it is real. If you can do these things, you will find your greatest dreams magically manifesting.
