The only decision you need to make is to open yourself and allow yourself to feel from your very core what is useful for your growth.  You will not make a mistake.

I push for completion and clarity,
Yet I know letting go works better,
But I have learned I can only let go
When I am through pushing.

If you are waiting for acknowledgment from the crowd to feel complete—you will wait forever.

If you are waiting for something outside of you to change so you can feel secure, safe, or satisfied—stop.

 It seems to me that the word faith should be a verb instead of a noun.
For it is not something you have, but something you do.
And, if you find yourself not doing it, you find yourself without it.

When asking for forgiveness in your prayers, take one more step and allow yourself to feel the inner peace within where there is no judgment.  In this sacred place, you do not receive forgiveness…..you are forgiveness.  This is the joy of meditation.

I realize today
I have been thinking
that certain people,
certain places,
and certain kinds of activities
create my joy.
I had failed to see myself as the only constant in the equation.
My joy comes from ME,
and it is with me always.

You cannot have the peace you seek until you let go of what is taking its place.

You must learn to love doing nothing before doing something can mean anything.

Your actions in life set your course and determine the destination of your travels.
Your reactions in life create the climate in which you travel.

Your words may be filled with truth, but if you are not connected to your heart when you speak them, they are lifeless and words they remain.

A statement made from the heart has an aroma, it has lights, it has earth and sun and moon.
It is colorful and it grasps the attention of those around you, like the sunset.

Appreciate your learning process, for it is of equal value to have realized there is a need for change as for the change itself.

Breath

Is there anything more satisfying, more healing, more enjoyable, more important in your life than your next breath? Don't let it go by unnoticed. Take your time and savor it.

Balance 

Dwelling on past mistakes is a waste of time,
If the Ego needs to rectify a misdeed, 
have it do something that creates good in the present,
which will spawn good will for the future and bring 
your life into balance.

From the Heart

When I think with my mind, I seek answers to my questions.
When I feel from my heart, the questions dissolve into answers.

Enlightenment

When the veil of judgment is dropped, when the blanket of fear is laid down, when the armor of the ego is shed, one's true nature comes forth and enlightenment follows. 

Traveling Light

It is clear to me that all ego-sponsored emotions create some kind of negative feeling in the body. What is also apparent is that we can become so  accustomed to the ill effects of the ego, we build up a tolerance to the  discomforts. We can even begin to think the multitude of unpleasant  sensations that fill our body are innate to being human.  It isn’t until we have experienced our authentic inner self, which is  impervious to the relentless pressure of the ego, we are able to see how  free we can be of fear, guilt, anger, judgment, and other ego-contrived  burdens.  It isn’t that we don’t experience the ups and downs of emotions, it is more that we don’t need to let them hang around and become accepted extra cargo.

 Let the ego come and go,  but never offer to carry it to your next destination.  Enjoy life by traveling light.

Forgiveness

 Past, There is no need to judge any part of your past, the past of others, or the  pasts of mankind.  For it is the past of any and all, that gives us the glory of the Present.

There is no need for forgiveness for there are no transgressions.

Challenges

Our life challenges do not define us or our happiness.

Thinking

We do not meditate to think things through, we meditate to be through with  thinking.

Seeking

 If it is perfection that you seek you will never attain it.  If it is The Answer that you seek you will never find it.  If it is joy you seek it will always allude you.

For it is the seeking that causes one to miss the Joy and Perfection of the  Present Moment.

In the Present there are no questions .. there is only what is, BE There.

 Life As A Process

You may find yourself in the middle one of life’s quandaries, wondering if  there is a right answer to this or that . . . remember this. You life is  work in progress. You are not caught in the middle of it.. you chose to be  in the middle of it. You chose this day, this person, this event in your  life to bring you what you need to advance in the understanding and joy of  life.. You are right where you belong.

See each episode in your life as being perfectly designed for your life’s  work. Sometimes life seems to blend and harmonize with it surroundings and  sometimes it seems to be at war, but in either case you are always amidst  the wonderful process of growth. . Your greatest triumphs come when you  filter through fragments created by the mechanism of the mind and the  denseness of matter and find a ray of light and a moment of clarity that  creates a glimpse of Truth and a view of Life in its natural form of Wholeness. Use those moments as building blocks and stack them high, one  upon the other... then mindfully step up and view life from your new  vantage point.. your new perspective ..your newer self.. and prepare to  begin again.

 This is the way of the process

Ego Math

The ego always likes to add to things. Take away from things It can even divide or multiply things. It feels every moment needs a little mathematical help. How good is your ego math? 

Sparring Partner

Your ego is your sparring partner. It helps you prepare for your bouts in life. Just remember when the bell rings, you are the one going into the ropes.  Don't let your ego be wearing your shorts. If your not careful it will be the one taking the bows.

"For one to reach out for
his highest good, he must first release
his grip on the beliefs
manufactured by his tenacious ego.

"Hurrying is an Ego thing--greedy for time."

"A little sigh brings you to the present,
a throaty hum opens the heart,
a well-sustained genuine unbounded tone
reveals the doorway to the soul."

"Separately we are Divine,
Together we are Destiny."

Trust

Trust Sister Moon to wax and wane
Trust Brother Wind to fan the flame.
Trust Faithful Gravity to hold you tight,
and Father Sun to provide you light.
Trust Mother Earth’s desire to give,
and all Human Beings desire to live,
Know that Trust begets joy, one of life’s precious gems.
Along with freedom from fear, and strength from within.
But when you find trusting a hard thing to do,
Look in the mirror and say "I trust you my friend, and I love you."
