THE SAGES

 

When I speak of love, I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality.

Dr. Martin Luther King, jr.

 

The accumulated darkness of ages is dispelled at once by bringing the light in, not by trying to chase the darkness out.

Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

 

 

Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.

Confucius

 

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:  the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.  A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.  Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Goethe

 

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we create the world.

The Dhammapada

 

When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny.

Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

 

Learn to wish that everything should come to pass exactly as it does.

 Epictetus

 

Opportunities in life come by creation, not by chance.

Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

 

 

 

SWANLIGHT

 

To live fully, one must emerge as a perpetual Spirit Child: always exploring, experimenting; growing joyfully, achieving wilfully; manifesting purposefully,  creating effortlessly.

Swanlight

 

I am a Child of the Universe. I have within me Canada’s strength, the Caribbean’s compassion, the Chinese sense of honour, the Native American’s cosmic bond, the British wit, Continental Europe’s charm, India’s consciousness, Africa’s open-heartedness, and most of all, Mother Earth’s constancy. Yes, I am earth’s child, the spirit of the universe.

Swanlihgt

 

Love has the power to transform all other forms of energy. Sound, carried on a wave of Love, softens, becomes warm, embracing. Light glows tender in its company. Love is an expansive energy, and the quality of any other wave of energy, travelling simultaneously with Love towards a goal, will amplify a hundredfold. Love's force field is strongly magnetic, drawing the smallest to the largest particles into its sphere of influence, and with Love, we mold our creations. Nothing is repelled by Love and there is no force that can ultimately repel Love—not hate, not envy, not greed, nor any other dense energy form. Love, in the end, is the inevitable.

Swanlight

 

You don't forget pain, you smooth it tenderly away, beyond existence, with Love.

LESSONS FROM NATURE

 

Whether we are right or wrong, by reacting angrily to someone’s hurtful words, we are not validating ourselves, we’re adding toxic emotions to an already polluted atmosphere. We validate ourselves by not incorporating into our bodies or our minds what the person says or intends. So, walk away from hurt with a smile.

Learn from the delightful dog - love unconditionally. An open heart lightens the mind and paints the world in magical colours.

Learn from the trees: let the winds of change shake old habits from your boughs so the buds of new dreams may thrive.

"Terror doesn't happen because some group of people somewhere . . . simply decide to hate us. It happens because children aren't being offered a bright enough future that they have a reason to choose life over death."

Greg Mortenson, 'Three Cups of Tea

 

 

There is always a way to accommodate life. So greet success with grace, and failure with creative wit.
