Fear and excitement
In brain scans, fear and excitement light up the exact same part of the brain. Therefore, in some incidents it is a choice between the two. Take a rollercoaster for an example. Some people love them others hate them; it’s the same ride just a different perspective. A different mindset can create a joyful life […]
Be the creator
I am reminded how each of us gets to create their day. We have the gifts and talents to make our day beautiful or ugly. My experience shows me I can use my intentions to begin the creation process. My daily intentions are to enter each experience with compassion, empathy, understanding, kindness, acceptance, appreciation, peace, […]
Reflecting the Divine
I am reminded how the entire universe may have started as a thought. We are each an answer to the question, when God asked; what else, who else and how else can I be? My desire is to be a reflection of the Divine mind. I have a hope that each being sees themselves as […]
No control
I am reminded how there are many things outside of me over which I have no control. There are people, places, things, situations, institutions, and principalities over which I have no control. I used to believe this was a very bad thing and I would try very hard to have control over things outside of […]
Happiness
I am reminded of the idea that happiness is a byproduct of right living. For years I have tried to find out what is the right way of living. I have done the religion thing, the drinking thing, the work, sleep, eat thing, and none of them really produced happiness. I have come to discover […]
It’s Everywhere.
I am reminded this morning how the Divine Love, the Love of God is everywhere. I need only to allow myself to see and feel it. When I felt distant or cut off from that Love It was because I had become closed off or unwilling to feel that Love for me. I have discovered […]
Recharge
I am reminded of the importance of rest and meditation. I used to hurry about fixing all of life’s problems and when I wasn’t running from problem to problem, I was mentally fixing all the other imagined problems in my life and the lives of others. The first step was to acknowledge that there are […]
Difficulty brings ease.
I spent most of my younger years fighting to stay out of trouble and I would seem to find difficulties. I would blame as many outside sources as I could. After I got sober, I started on this path of discovery. I slowly learned how I would create my own difficulties through focusing on staying […]
Fear of powerlessness.
I am reminded how my fear of powerlessness drove me to a desire for power. Ironically, being powerless and admitting my powerlessness over alcohol brought me to accepting and believing in a power far greater than anything I had ever experienced. I have spent years searching for the identity of God so I could finally […]
Meditation
I am reminded how Meditation is the time when I sit quietly and tune into the frequency that is God. In my spiritual childhood. I used to earnestly pray for what I wanted and live in disappointment when those people I prayed about did not change, my money influx did not increase, and that person […]
