It’s an India Arie kind of day. :) 

Life is a journey, 

Not a destination, 

There are no mistakes, 

Just chances we’ve taken 

Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now 

Wake up in the morning 

And get out of bed 

Start making a mental list in my head 

Of all of the things that I am grateful for 

Early in the morning 

It’s the dawn of a new day 

New hopes new dreams new ways 

I open up my eyes and 

I open up my mind and 

I wonder how life will surprise me today 

Early in the morning 

It’s the dawn of a new day 

New hopes new dreams new ways 

I open up my heart and 

I’m gon’ do my part and 

Make this a positively beautiful day 

Life is a challenge not a competition 

You can still smell the roses and be on a mission 

Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart

Whatever your problem, the universe is on it already. The problem is, the same mind that caused the problem will try to resist the help.

 #Hafiz  #quote  #life  #love  #inspiration  #sky  #sun  #earth 

And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
‘You owe me.’
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky.

 #personal  #lessons  #spiritual  #love  #God  #observations  #people  #life  #religion 

Once again, I have learned a lot in a short period of time based on experiences and observations.

There are so many topics I want to express or touch on:

1. Physicality vs. Religious vs. Spirituality 

- now I do realize that everyone will use different terms for the same feeling conveyed and I hope that I will state my point of view with clarity. 

- analytical vs. action oriented people

-balance

2. Importance of community and surrounding oneself with likeminded friends

- purpose is for growth and connection

- so many people are waking up to the reality and purpose of life and they all longed for a sense of belonging

3. Living an authentic life

- why do you do the things you do?

- what do you really want out of life?

- why are you here?

- talk the talk, walk the walk

4. True, permanent happiness vs. false, temporary happiness

-are you happy? if not, why are you not happy? 

-what makes you happy?

- Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

5. Radiant health, Radiant outlook on life, radiant life

- rest

- herbs, vegetarian diet at least ( there are exceptions)

- exercise

- service without attachment or acknowledgement 

-meditation, prayer, chanting

- communing with nature

-reading, listening to inspirational books and music

- gratitude

6. Shadow self

- work on yourself diligently and so much that you don’t have time to judge anyone else. 

- preconceptions, judging others

7. Love truly conquers all

- everyone is at different level at evolution

- everything is just IS.

I will elaborate more soon.

Thank you, God for the gift of self-awareness.

I know I have said this repeatedly but one can never say enough. God, I thank you for your great presence in my life. Guan Yin, I thank you for your great Compassion and Mercy in my life. I am a conduit for you. I do your work and that is all I am here to do and of course to enjoy life as well! Be happy! I know doing your work doesn’t have to be anything BIG. It can be as small as serving people tea with great love. Anything that is done with care and great love creates the most change and impact on an energetic level. 

THANK YOU!

I am ever grateful.

reblogged from Spiritual Inspiration.


 #saints  #quote  #life  #spiritual  #God  #Jesus  #fallen angels  #Yogananda  #Conversations 

“Those who are with me,” he once told me at his desert retreat, “I never have any trouble with. Just a glance with the eyes is enough. It is much better when I can talk with the eyes. I just wilt when I have to scold, outwardly. All those who are with me – most of them, anyway – are saints from before.” (What he meant, I think, was, “all those who are in tune with me.”)

“Sir,” I said, “what about those who don’t seem all that saintly?”

“Well, some of them are fallen saints.”

“I was thinking of myself, Sir,” I explained.

“It is better to have neither a superiority nor an inferiority complex,” he replied. “Whatever you are, give it to God.”

from “Conversations with Yogananda”
