At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself:
‘I have to go to work — as a human being.
What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for
— the things I was brought into the world to do?
Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?’

— But it’s nicer in here …

So you were born to feel ‘nice’?
Instead of doing things and experiencing them?
Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders
and bees going about their individual tasks,
putting the world in order, as best they can?
And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being?
Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?

— But we have to sleep sometime …

Agreed. But nature set a limit on that
— as it did on eating and drinking. And you’re over the limit.
You’ve had more than enough of that.
But not of working. There you’re still below your quota.

You don’t love yourself enough.
Or you’d love your nature too, and what it demands of you.
People who love what they do wear themselves down doing it,
they even forget to wash or eat.
Do you have less respect for your own nature than the engraver does for engraving,
the dancer for the dance, the miser for money or the social climber for status?
When they’re really possessed by what they do,
they’d rather stop eating and sleeping than give up practicing their arts.

Is helping others less valuable to you? Not worth your effort?
~Marcus Aurelius

"There is nowt 'so-strange' as folks"

Today I received a PM_
It informed me, that my reply [in PM]
to another member's query, was considered to be 'goading'

I am not
arguing that finding, but simply saying:
I am absolutely 'gobsmacked'
re: that member's reaction [reporting my-answer]

If you ask a question, you should not be surprised
nor offended, when, you receive a complete and truthful response to your enquiry

"Why ask a question, regarding a contentious matter
and then complain about a complete and honest reply"
unless, you are fishing
~for something, to complain-about

I can no-longer see, what, that member posts [Ignore=ON]
and so hopefully, I will avoid becoming-hooked by their bait

YOU LIVE WHERE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS FOCUSSED

"If you think an unloving thought or a thought devoid of love —
competition, envy, or worry, you feel pain.
You ARE your consciousness and you feel the effects
of where your consciousness is focused.
You do not want pain.
Therefore, choose to give your unloving thoughts to the light."

At first, this lesson was painful for me to face.
I'd always thought that my outer circumstances influenced my happiness.
Yet, the angels insisted that this was backwards,
and that my thoughts coloured my world.
They told me that my happiness
didn't hinge upon what I had, but instead upon, what I thought."
~ Doreen Virtue​

GIVERS AND TAKERS
There are 2 kinds of people in the world.
There are those who bring you energy and those who take it away.
Be the one who brings it.

"Pay attention to what you are thinking, and then decide
if those are thoughts that are creating the kind of life you want created.
And if it's not, then change your thoughts.
It's really that easy."
~ Jill Bolte Taylor

DON'T GIVE IN ORDER TO GET
"Let go of outlining the results that you expect from giving.
You will get results from giving; that is the universal law.
But it is not up to you how the cause and effect will be circulated.
Plus, if you expect something in return, you haven't truly given away anything.
Instead, you're holding it in consciousness,
~expecting to get something first before you fully release it."

Once again, I felt embarrassed
as the angels saw into the depths of my soul.
They knew that I was a giving person.
Yet, I had to admit that I'd sometimes given with expectations
of receiving something in return.
With full trust in my guardian angels, I decided to let go
of all strings attached to my gifts to others.
Almost immediately, I began receiving surprising rewards
such as new business opportunities
and wonderful experiences with friends."
~ Doreen Virtue

LIVE IN INTEGRITY

"The angels said to me,
"Spend your time doing activities that match your highest intentions.
Let go of things that your intuition prompts you to surrender.
Those things may then either become healed so that you enjoy them,
or else the activity will easily drop away."

The angels urged me to trust my heart.
They assured me that I would be safe
to turn down work that didn't match my true interests.
I quickly found that the angels were right!"
~ Doreen Virtue


Think, on these things ​

FOCUS ON YOUR JOY
“To create the life of your dreams,
the time has come for you to love You.
Focus on Your joy.
Do all the things that make You feel good.
Love You, inside and out.
Everything will change in your life
when you change the inside of you.
Allow the Universe to give you every good thing you deserve
by being a magnet to them all.
To be a magnet for every single thing you deserve you must be a magnet of love.”
~ Rhonda Byrne

SELF LOVE
If you are not loving yourself, you will not be able to love others.
When you learn to love yourself, you give yourself heaven now.

"Find the love you seek, by first finding the love within yourself.
Learn to rest in that place within you that is your true home."
~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

MEEK MEANS GENTLE BUT STRONG
"Jesus taught that "the meek shall inherit the earth."
The word "meek" here is the translation of a Greek word
that actually means "gentle but strong,"
which is why many translations
now say "the gentle" rather than "the meek.""

LOOKING FOR LOVE

"It’s not where you look but who you are.

You must be that which you desire.
There’s no point whatsoever in an unloving man or woman
bemoaning their inability to find a partner.
They’re doomed to endless frustration because they don’t recognize
the perfect match when it appears.
That loving person could be right there, right now
and their resistance doesn’t allow them to see it.
The unloving person continues to blame bad luck
or a series of external factors for their not having a loving relationship.

Love can only be attracted by and returned by love.
The best advice I can give for attracting and maintaining spiritual partnerships
is to be what it is that you are seeking.
Most relationships that fail to sustain themselves
are based on one or both of the partners
feeling as if their freedom has been compromised in some way.

If a friendship or partnership requires the submission
of your higher original nature and dignity, it’s simply wrong.
When you truly know what it is to love
as you’re loved by your Source, you won’t experience
the kind of pain you did in the past when your love was unnoticed or rejected.
It will, instead, be similar to how a friend described
her experience of choosing to leave a relationship:
“My heart was broken, but it felt like it was stuck in the open position.
I felt love flowing toward this person
who couldn’t love me the way I wanted to be loved
even as I left that relationship to seek the love I felt inside of me.
It was strange to feel the pain of my broken heart.
And at the same time feel its openness.
I kept thinking, My heart’s broken, but it’s broken open.
I shifted to an entirely new level of loving and being loved.
The relationship I’d dreamed of having manifested 18 months later!”"
~ Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

TRUTH FROM THE EMBERS

Have you ever stood in front of a fire
when one of the embers sparked out
and perhaps landed on your jacket or your sleeve?
You know that if you leave that ember there
it will quickly burn a hole in your clothing.
However, if you immediately flick it off
there is just a little bit of soot that remains, and no lasting damage.

Your thoughts are like those embers.
When thoughts arise out of feelings of resentment, revenge, or envy
you must quickly flick them away.
These thoughts can fuel the negative emotions to continue
which affects the health of your cells
and can actually erode your sense of connection with life.

You want to cancel the whole process right away
and turn your attention to loving, offering appreciation and gratitude.
These higher frequencies open the doorway to life in balance, life in harmony.
So today if you notice any negative thought, let it go
and turn back to the truth that life is abundant
and meant to be enjoyed.
Focus on Gratitude
~Mary Morrissey

ACCEPTANCE IS REAL POWER
"Acceptance is a conscious choice, to drop all forms of resistance
to whatever has become present in the moment and making the most of it. Acceptance isn't about liking or approving of something.
It is about letting life flow and unfold without getting in the way.
It is about being receptive rather than exerting resistance to what comes present. Instead of focusing on the past or the future
or wanting things to be different than they are
we open to what is true in the moment.
This absence of "againstness" allows us to engage our reality
in such a way that we can learn from it
and strengthen our ability to function in this world."
~ Judith Johnson

I know this to be true, because, it has, so-often been a 'life-buoy' to-me

The Serenity Prayer
by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
Complete, Unabridged, Original Version.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.​
