Take the time to discover your real intention before you act.


Take the time to discover your real intention before you act. If it is to change someone or the world so that you will feel safe or better about yourself, don't act on it, because it is an intention of fear and can create only painful consequences. If your real intention is to create harmony instead of discord, cooperation instead of competition, sharing instead of hoarding, and reverence for life instead of exploitation, act on it, because it is an intention of love and can create only healthy and wholesome consequences. When you do this, you are creating authentic power. Gary Zukav, author

The lessons continue, she asked what did you achieve in 2012? Now this time I did not just open my mouth and answer as I would normally do. I asked her, “what did you achieve in 2012?” She laughed and said you are quick, let me tell you my daughter, your achievements are important, particularly when you set goals but make no mistake the goals you set come from who you are. There are many of you who believe that there is merit in doing things which stroke your ego and get the stamp of external praise, these things are temporary and fleeting and you will continue to strive for these achievements which make you seem more worthy in the eyes of others, it will never end, you will continue to “achieve” them and never be at peace! Do you understand what I mean? You think getting this certain something will make you into something more! Sorry it doesn’t work that way! Start off knowing that you are enough, then take it from there!

Follow your intuition and live your own life, there is no substitute for it. Make goals that you can be proud of, that strengthen you as a person, that allow you to contribute to the development and betterment of where you live, that enhances your soul, your Spirit, your joy, your capacity to love. Do you understand what I am telling you?

My famous intelligent response – OK!!
So what did I learn today?
I am really onto something if I regard my job as sacred and do my days work to the best of my ability (whether I like it or not) If I take every opportunity to wisely spread the knowledge and truth to others and If I rigidly refrain from personal criticism and learn from the experiences
Peace!

What is being of service?

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
