*April Newsletter 2009
Hello Everyone,
The weather is crazy: snow & sledding one week, shorts & planting a garden the next! As we move into the next phase of planetary change, everything we know will be turned upside down for review.
Where we place our priorities is the question — is our focus toward the external, or do we search within? This “inside stuff” is somewhat difficult for most of us; we are simply not accustomed to this inner-self focus . . . and there doesn’t seem to be much going on when we do! No three-ring circus to capture our attention — just YOU. At times, even though we sit quietly, determined to focus on our deeper selves, we wind up watching our thoughts bounce around like a pinball. It can make one wonder just how crazy we really are!
The mind needs discipline. Like a spoiled child who has had his / her way for a very long time, the human mind is resistant to limitations and change. With time and patience, you will win! Your ego mind will adapt to your decision to change your thought life, and to develop your Higher Self.
Take back control of your mind — take back your life!
Blessings
Daniel
Thought for the Day:
Don’t wait for a tragedy to start appreciating the little things in life. We shouldn’t have to be chased by tigers or leaping off a cliff to savor the sweetness of a single strawberry. Stop and smell honeysuckle. Take a moment to watch a rainstorm next time you see one. Count your blessings. Appreciate what you have instead of complaining about what you don’t have.
If spiritual growth is what you seek, don’t ask for more strawberries, ask for more tigers.
The threat of tigers and the leap off the cliff are what give the strawberry its divineness. They cannot be avoided, and the strawberry can’t be enjoyed without them. No tigers, no sweetness.
In falling we somehow gain what means most. In falling we are given back our lives even when we lose. Phillip Simmons
Lite Thought;
“The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.” Dave Barry
