Accepting Responsibility ~ Another great Raam Dv post here's a great quote from it ~ "It’s easy to ignore responsibility when we can pass it off to someone else (especially if they’re not around), but if we can alleviate suffering or provide assistance — no matter how minuscule — we automatically inherit the responsibility to do so."

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. -- Alan Cohen via ~ By: Awesome Women Hub ~ California

Beat Procrastination: How to Want to Tackle Your To-Do List ~ Face it, there are just some things we "have" to do that we just don't like to do or don't want to do. Those are usually the things that I put off as long as I possibly can. In fact, I probably have some of those things to catch up on. I'm going to try adding a few of the fun things, or want to-do's to my to-do list. Let's see how this works . . .

It has been one of those weeks. You know a string of "those" days together.  We all have them, it isn't always easy to maintain a positive attitude when it seems like everything is falling apart. Even when deep down, we know that it isn't.  Here is to the beginning of better days strung together into a good week.  Hope that yours is too!

Quotes

Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself. The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out. ~ Alan Cohen

To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before. ~ Rollo May

Quotes

All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man, the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports. ~ Chief Seattle

"The caterpillar trusts his maker that all is well. He does not cling to his old garment and thus is transformed into a magnificent butterfly. There is no pain, it is a natural transmutation. So it is with us. As the chrysalis is the bridge between caterpillar and butterfly, so is True perception the bridge between separation and Oneness. We are transmuting into a new state of Being. Clinging to our caterpillar stage, our old ways of judgment, we shall never learn to fly into the dawn of a new day." ~ Peter Erbe

Everyone you meet in your life - even total strangers - is already intimately connected to you.  The idea that we are all separate and distinct beings is nothing but an illusion.  We are all parts of a larger whole, like individual cells in a body. ~ Steve Pavlina

Are You Missing Your True Calling ~  "Get it?  And, whatever that purpose is, if you’re not living it, then you’re not living you.  You know your purpose when you feel like you can’t NOT do or be something, or when something feels so incredibly right that it’s like a second skin."

Here's the video the above post talks about - in case you don't read the post What Oprah Knows for Sure

You're Not As Authentic As You Think You Are ~ "You have to stop caring one tiny bit about whether someone thinks something you’re doing, saying, or believing is kooky … or “wrong.”
You have to care about one thing and one thing only:  does what you’re doing and being feel right to YOU."

Tiny Wisdom: On Creating Change ~ "Today as you go about your day, if you find yourself doing what you’ve always done, ask yourself: What would make me feel excited about today? Then do it. That tingling sense of fear and possibility–it’s the feeling of being alive."

I had to count that a couple of time to get it right.  This new page is called Positively Inspired Entrepreneurs ~ it is meant to inspire entrepreneurs in the same way I give you all inspiration everyday, but with a more business minded twist.  I guess what sort of got me thinking about this new page is all the business blog posts that I read that don't really fit with this page.  I want to share them with people because they are such great posts.  So i invite you all to come check out my new page; I hope you find something there that you enjoy.

Thank you all for being a part of this.

Quotes

When one bright intellect meets another right intellect, the light increases and the Way becomes clear. ~ Rumi

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. ~ Woodrow Wilson

I forget who it was that recommended men for their soul's good to do each day two things they disliked. . . . It is a precept I have followed scrupulously: for every day I have got up and I have gone to bed. ~ William Somerset Maugham

8 Reasons Why I Left My "6 Figure Lucrative Income" (without a plan!) ~ "You live once. You get one chance to do what you love. You get one life to be true to yourself and to protect your soul from perishing in the well of unhappiness and I highly, highly recommend that you grab that chance, hold on to it with the grip of death and never, ever let go.

Break free if you are unhappy. Live free. And then when all that is in place, go make a killing at what you love."

Joy is in the Cup ~ "Joy in the cup. This one is easy. You get to do something you are probably already doing: Hold your coffee cup (or tea if you must~)" ~ I really like this one and it would probably be tea for me (see my other page Coastal Serenity).

Quotes

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield but to my own strength.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom.
Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.

~ Rabindranath Tagore

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person. ~ Audrey Hepburn

So great a sweetness flows into the breast
We must laugh and we must sing,
We are blest by everything,
Everything we look upon is blessed.

Quotes

Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult. ~ Julia Cameron

Your true spiritual nature is to trust. Your true spiritual nature is to respect. Your true spiritual nature is to love unconditionally. ~ Mr. Prophet

Heart Growth ~ Another Raam Dev post . . . because they're both great! "Real growth does not originate from grabbing wisdom and slapping on inspiration but rather through digesting, filtering, and absorbing the nutrients of wisdom through our heart."

June 13, 2011

It is that dream we carry
that something miraculous will happen
that it must happen -
that time will open
that the heart will open
that doors will open
and that the rock face will open
that springs will gush forth -
that the dream will open
and that one morning we'll glide in
to a harbour we didn't know was there.

~ Olav H. Hauge

So big day tomorrow for my daughter. High School Graduation.  Excited, but at the same time a bit sad.  I'm taking a box of tissues with me; I'm probably going to cry.  We've got a bunch of family coming in for the celebration; so I may not be able to post over the weekend.  Hope that you all have a Blessed weekend!

That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Quotes

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. ~ John Muir

Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life; they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It's like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can't stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship. ~ Anne Lamott

We are earth people on a spiritual journey to the stars. Our quest, our earth walk, is to look within, to know who we are, to see that we are connected to all things, that there is no separation, only in the mind. ~ Lakota Seer

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well~intentioned words. ~ Rachel Naomi Remen

Quotes
 
There are times I forget to be grateful
easier to see things that are wrong
as I dishonor the the gifts I've been given
with worry, angst and woe.

There are times I need reminding
of the things I take for granted each day;
my children, my home or a stranger,
sent to brighten my way.

Take some time to say thank you
for the blessings that color your day;
Those colors will form a rainbow,
and chase the darkness away.

~ Marianne Goldweber

Take Time Take time to think- It is the source of all power. Take time to read- It is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to play- It is the source of perpetual youth. Take time to be quiet- It is the opportunity to seek God. Take time to be aware- It is the opportunity to help others. Take time to love and be loved- It is God's greatest gift. Take time to laugh- It is the music of the soul. Take time to be friendly- It is the road to happiness. Take time to dream- It is what the future is made of. Take time to pray- It is the greatest power on earth. Take time to give- It is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to work- It is the price of success. There is a time for everything.
~ Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

The best gifts are tied with heart strings.

Your Thinking (Idea) Spot

One can resist the invasion of an army, but one cannot resist the invasion of ideas. ~ Victor Hugo

I don't know about you; but I have a spot where I do a lot of my thinking and a place where ideas just pop into my head.

It is in my shower. Of course it would be a place, where pen and paper are impractical and the laptop would probably be disastrous. In fact, I write whole blog posts in the shower . . . by the time I get to the laptop, though the words seem to fail me.  They just don't seem to go together the same way.

I think the shower is the place for my ideas, because it is safe.  There is no one else there to tell me my ideas are crap . . . or that I'm just spinning your wheels.  Except for myself. There I'm free to Dream Big, have the great ideas and even figure out how to make them work.

Where is your thinking spot? How do you quiet the voices in the "real" world that can prevent you from turning those ideas into reality?

Quotes

Real meditation is not about mastering a technique; it's about letting go of control. ~ Adyashanti

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up. ~ Deepak Chopra 

This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy. ~ Susan Polis Schutz

Here's to the crazy ones by Jack Kerouac...

Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.... The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine.
They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do . . .

Wow . . . I wonder where May got to.  Seems like I blinked and it was gone. Hello June. The month for my daughter's latest rite of passage.  She graduates high school this year; she also turned 18; and she goes away to college.  I know we can't go back in time . . . I just wish it didn't seem to be speeding by quite so quickly.  While she is probably ready for some of these things; I'm not. I better get ready though . . . graduation is 9 days away (this her last week of school) and in 3 short months we will be packing her in the car and driving her to college a 6 hour drive away.

Quotes

The difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stone is whether you are cursing your bruised knee or admiring the view. ~ Silent Owl



Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.
Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his.
Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light.
Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Every Warrior of the Light has said 'yes' when he wanted to say 'no.'
Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.

That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is. ~ Paulo Coelho
