Essence of Life

Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you’re going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.

Master Your Thoughts

How can you master your thoughts? Be the guardian of your mind; be the gatekeeper. As of this moment on, never allow a single thought that you don’’t want to happen. Always have positive and optimistic thoughts. Keep the negative, limiting and self-sabotaging thoughts out. You are the gatekeeper, so keep those sabotaging, stuck-state thoughts out of your mind and out of your life.

Challenges

Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

Carlos Castaneda

The Best Moment

The best pair in the world is smile and cry. They won’t meet each other at a time. If they meet, that is the best moment in your life.

We Have Lost the Way

Believe in Yourself

Confidence is a critical ingredient in being successful, happy, and relaxed. It is easily gained by surrounding yourself with confident people, and at no cost to them. It is also easily lost by surrounding yourself with those who lack confidence, at great cost to yourself. Be aware of who you interact with, socialize with, and surround yourself with. Be aware of what you read, watch, and listen to. If you put good messages into your mind in this way, you will have right thoughts and then the right results. Believe in yourself and the world has no choice but to follow.

We Are All Met to Shine!

I Become...

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. 

Lao Tzu

Anyone Can...

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Believe in Yourself

Have Faith….. Believe in yourself and what others think won’t matter…..

Your Story

The way you talk about yourself and your life—your story—has a great deal to do with what shows up in your day-to-day experience. Your thoughts create filters through which you view your life. If you think of yourself as a Victim, you filter all that happens to you through the lens of DDT, and you find plenty of evidence to support that viewpoint. That’s why the orientation you adopt is so important: it exerts a powerful influence on your life direction.

Spirituality Crosses Cultures

Spirituality is connecting with the truth of who you are. It can contain religious teachings, but it is not contained by any one religious teaching or teacher. Spirituality crosses cultures, creeds, and countries. It has no borders, not even the atmosphere of our planet. It is not an escape from life, but rather fully embracing life, seeing and knowing the perfection in things exactly as they are.

True Goodness

Make the choice to invest your time building and spreading true goodness in your own special way.

True Healing

True healing comes from owning and accepting all of life’s energies within ourselves….When they are allowed to be expressed, they take their places as important facets of our nature. There is no split between ‘good’ and ‘bad.’

Shakti Gawain

Stand Tall

Everything in our lives begins and ends with the self and the attitude we maintain. When we face disruptions or difficult people it can be a challenge to remain optimistic, but it's precisely at these times when it's most important. Keeping an eye on the larger picture, realizing that you are bigger than the problem you face, these are things that can help you stand tall even in the face of fierce opposition.

Kindness

"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love."

Lao-Tzu

Different Roads

"Religions are different roads converging upon the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads as long as we reach the same goal?"

Mahatma Gandhi

True Hope

True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome true hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort.

The Glory of Friendship

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Flow

The universe is unfolding perfectly. I don't have to hang on. I can relax and let go. I can go with the flow.


Gawain, Shakti

Life

By allowing humor into your life, you are opening up your mind to learning. Humor outwits the conditioned mind; it forces us to think- to contemplate.

Why or Why Not?

You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' 

George Bernard Shaw

Remember the LOVE

“No one can tell you what your truth is or how to get there. They can only soften the path a little. But if you are awake and alive, there will come a time when you will have to examine your own heart. Whatever you do today, remember ONE thing. That in the end all that really matters is the LOVE! Did you seek it? Did you find it? But most importantly – DID YOU GIVE IT? Remember the LOVE.”

Veronica Hay

Beauty

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."

~ Confucius

The Most Difficult Lesson

Make it your business to know yourself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world.

True wisdom is to know what is best worth knowing, and to do what is best worth doing.

Perserverance

Through perseverance the turtle reached the ark. Are you willing to persevere until you get to your intended destination? They say the entire value of the postage stamp consist in its ability to stick to something until it gets there. Be like the postage stamp; finish the race that you’ve started!

Albert Einstein
