How you experience your life depends on how you look at it. If you look at it as a constant stream of difficulties and challenges, messes and problems, it will show up that way. If, on the other hand, you see it as a continuing flow of good fortune, one good thing after another, that is what you will encounter.
One's spirituality is about one's deepest personal understanding of and interactions with Life and God. . . whatever those may be.
I find myself often moved to tears by what is being written in front of me. Sometimes, I just sit on the couch and write the words down and cry because the beauty of the thoughts and how exquisitely they are being expressed.
Mastery is not measured by the number of terrible things you eliminate from your life, but by the number of times you eliminate calling them terrible.
A great many people experience the movement from one century to the next, but a minuscule number of people experience the movement from one millennium to the next.
I tell you this: There is no coincidence, and nothing happens "by accident. " Each event and adventure is called to your Self by your Self in order that you might create and experience Who You Really Are.
Every reader of the Conversations with the God is invited to self-select, that is, to choose themselves, to be among those who commit to moving forward their own individual and personal evolution by embracing and demonstrating behaviors that serve to awaken the species to who and what human beings really are Individuations of Divinity, and how that may be made manifest in our experience.
Your life is about everyone whose life you touch, and it is about the way in which you touch them.
Your happy destiny is unavoidable. You cannot be "saved. " There is no hell except not knowing this.
We have some role in almost everything that happens in our lives. When "bad" things happen, the mistake is not in the role, but in calling them bad. For in calling them bad, we call ourselves bad, since we had a role in their creation. We then have only two choices: blame ourselves, or disown our creative power, neither of which is congruent with our highest purpose.
By declaring yourself a leader, you're taking initiative and moving into a role of influence in a lively and vital network that's changing the world. We're changing the world, first by changing ourselves and then by touching the world as changed beings. We believe the change in us catalyzes change in others. So in changing the world, we're choosing to be the change we wish to see in the world. By taking on this leadership role, you are choosing to be the change too.
What you get to choose today is who you are and what you wish to experience in your life. Remember, not to decide is to decide.
What is needed is not a change of circumstance, but a change of consciousness.
If you ever lit a cigarette in your life, you have very little will to live.
Forget about the past. It does not exist, except in your memory. Drop it. And stop worrying about how you're going to get through tomorrow. Life is going on right here, right now - pay attention to that and all will be well.
Nothing has to happen immediately, this minute, or right now. It's okay to pause for just a moment. Just take a breath. Then go quietly inside. Ask life itself to lead you to your best outcome. There's nothing you have to do, really, except get out of your own way.
When you have an unconditional love of Life, then you love Life just the way it is showing up, right here, right now. This is only possible when you are "seeing the perfection. "
Everything is falling together perfectly, even though it looks as if some things are falling apart. Trust in the process you are now experiencing.
When you find peace within, you also find that you can do without. This means simply that you no longer need the things of your outside world, and not needing is a great freedom.
Life in the physical realm is glorious, and its purpose is to bring you happiness through the awareness of who you really are. So go into this magnificent world of your creation, and make your lifetime an extraordinary statement and experience of the most glorious idea that you have ever had about yourself.
