Standard of Success

There is no desire that anyone holds for any other reason than that they believe they will feel better in the achievement of it. Whether it is a material object, a condition, or a circumstance - at the heart of every desire is the desire to feel good. And so, the standard of success in lie is not the things or the money - the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.
-Abraham-Hicks

Evolutionary Leaders to Follow

Please Yourself

Often you are pulled this way and that in an attempt to please another, only to discover that no matter how hard you try, you cannot consistently move in any pleasing direction; and so, you not only do not please them, but you also do not please yourself. And because you are being pulled in so many different directions, your path to where you want to be usually gets lost in the process. - Abraham-Hicks

Self Acceptance

"No amount of self-improvement can make up for a lack of self-acceptance."- Robert Holden

Guy Finley - Fearless Living

When we feel fear, it is our mind instantly projecting an event's meaning onto our past or future to produce fear. This fear produces the feeling, and then offers and projects the image of the way out of the situation. This is not a friend talking! What the mind is feeling is not the event, but what we brought with us into this moment, that now needs to be seen as a limitation. Fear is negative imagination. The power over it belongs to ME, not the event! This darkness that is talking to us is not able to show us the light. It searches only for new powers, skills, protections, and ways around the event.
THE FEEL IS REAL, THE WHY IS A LIE.
Stop, Drop, & Endure.
Stop: The moment you feel fear, come to a complete stop.
Drop: Do not identify, drop associated thoughts and feelings.
Endure: This moment, and the external event, is part of the whole that is you.

10 minute video - it made me feel that what many label crazy and/or dangerous could be a joyous state of being in touch with the stirring forces of being human.

Thanks to Mathew for this one.

Courteous, Considerate and Generous

Really big people are, above everything else, courteous, considerate and generous - not just to some people in some circumstances - but to everyone all the time.

Healing With the Masters

So wonderful, free guidance / spiritual-emotional training, just listened to Sonia Choquette, The Four Chambers Of The Heart, the trainings are only available for 48 hours at this link,

http://www.healingwiththemasters.com/audio.htm

To increase your secure feelings about money, try these methods:

1. Write your worries or concerns and put them in a special box (I call it a God Box) as a physical demonstration of "letting go and letting God" help you with the issues.
2. Write a letter to God, spelling out all of your feelings and what you need help with. Put this letter face-up on your altar or the location where you most-often pray. I’ve had miraculous results over the years with this method.
3. Write any fears on a piece of paper and then put that paper in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator. When you "freeze the fears," the problem is rapidly resolved.
4. Keep asking yourself: "What is the blessing within this situation?" There’s always a silver lining to every seeming problem.
5. Use my favorite Louise Hay affirmation: "Out of this situation, only good will come!" The more that you affirm this, the more peaceful you will feel. And a peaceful mind attracts and creates wonderful solutions.

-Doreen Virtue

Emotional Healing

Emotional healing does not mean dwelling upon the wound;
it means looking at the world through unwounded eyes.

We have not come here to take prisoners.

We have not come here to take prisoners,
But to surrender ever more deeply
To freedom and joy.
We have not come into this exquisite world
To hold ourselves hostage from love.
Run my dear,
From anything
That may not strengthen
Your precious budding wings.
Run like hell my dear,
From anyone likely
To put a sharp knife
Into the sacred, tender vision
Of your beautiful heart
We have a duty to befriend
Those aspects of obedience
That stand outside of our house
And shout to our reason
"O please, O please,
Come out and play."
For we have not come here to take prisoners
Or to confine our wondrous spirits,
But to experience ever and ever more deeply
Our divine courage, freedom, and Light!
--Hafiz

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked hisgrandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

CURE (for mice) for Alzheimer’s disease

From Dr. William’s latest "Alternatives" newsletter, he talks about the CURE (for mice) for Alzheimer’s disease discovered by Dr. Kim Green at the University of California. He has been shocked that it has not been more publicized. Perhaps you can pass this on to people you know who could benefit. Improvements can occur within 5 days to a year it seems. For full details please get a copy of his newsletter www.drdavidwilliams.com Here's the basics:

Recommended: 250 mg. of Vitamin B3 (nicacinamide/nicotinamide) every 1 ½ hours for 12 doses total per day. Freeda Vitamins has this dosage available- preservative-free. www.freedavitamins.com or 800-777-3737.

It supposedly helps with arthritis as well.
Dr. Williams says that a toxic dose in humans would be somewhere around 375,000 mg a day…so this treatment is not even close to being toxic.

Thanks to Jan Harkey for passing this on.

Dance

We are fools whether we dance or not. So we might as well dance.

-Japanese proverb.

Freedom

“When we can accept all of life’s contradictions, when we can comfortably flow between the banks of pleasure and pain, experiencing them both while getting stuck in neither, then we are free.”

~ Deepak Chopra

Empowerment Meditation

I hereby release you from responsibility for my life and its failures.
I now take that responsibility myself.

Letting it Go

If you become ruffled with every comment that
you consider a 'slight,' you will never find peace.

Nor will you find it by always separating yourself from
those who ruffle you. You can only end so many
friendships before you find yourself very much alone.
You can keep making new friends, of course, but
sooner or later they will ruffle you -- and then what?

Perhaps the better course might be to let the ruffle
go. People rarely mean it when they do that, and a
touch of gentle tolerance and easy forgiveness every
day is even better than an apple...

-Neale Donald Walsh
