The Desiderata

I have loved the Desiderata from the time I first read it, which was approximately 10
years ago. I hope you will like this as much as I do

Desiderata - Latin for Things Desired

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of
time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann (1872–1945), a poet and lawyer from Terre Haute, Indiana, is its author. It has been reported that Desiderata was inspired by an urge that Ehrmann wrote about in his diary: "I should like, if I could, to leave a humble gift -- a bit of chaste prose that had caught up some noble moods." Conventional belief is that Ehrmann actually wrote the prose himself and copyrighted it in 1927

The Time to be Happy

is NOW
The Place to be Happy
Is here
The way to be happy
is to help others be so

For those who don't know Him

But do know you
Help them want to know Him
Because they know you

IF

If you spend your life
trying to be like someone else
WHO will accomplish the things
the lord sent you here to do

Don't

Don't look forward with fear
or backward with regret.
BUT look around you with awareness

The Reiki Ideals

"Just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings.
Just for today I will not worry.
Just for today I will not be angry.
Just for today I will do my work honestly and with integrity
Just for today I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing"

The Kingdom Of God is within you
People all over the world look for things outside of themselves to make them happy. But those things will not bring them true happiness until they make the discovery that it is from within themselves that they can achieve the satisfaction and joy out of living they so desire to have.
When any of these areas of a persons well being is neglected, either
The Body
The intellect
Or The spirit,
A person will feel that things aren’t quite right in their life, that something is missing. They will feel out of sorts with themselves, often blaming it on others or their circumstances. BUT no matter the earthly circumstances, If people strive to do their best to develop every aspect of themselves they will feel whole and fulfilled. They will then be able to give of themselves to those around them, because they have something of Value to offer. They feel good about themselves because they are continually improving and they have the ability to make others feel good about themselves. The complete person has respect for himself and views other people in their totality, treating them with respect. In short the complete person is living true to their divine nature. They are becoming what they can be, because they must.

Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success

Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
Deepak Chopra
The meaning of success is the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals by honoring others.

Success is a life filled with appreciation and gratitude. You could say the real meaning of success is the ability to fulfill your desires effortlessly and with ease.

Yet success- all by itself, including the creation of wealth, has been considered by some to be a process that requires hard work, and it is often considered by some to be at the expense of others.

What's needed is a more spiritual approach to success and to affluence; which is the abundant flow of all good things to you.

Some people see similarities between The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and The Law Attraction. I use both to create wealth with This Company.

These Seven Spiritual Laws of Success help many people live in harmony with nature and create with carefree-ness, joy, and love once they have realized it's true meaning.

1. The Law of Pure Potentiality
(#1 - Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)
The source of all creation is pure consciousness... pure potentiality seeking expression from the un-manifest to the manifest. When we realize that our true self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in the universe.

2. The Law of Giving
(#2 - Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)

The universe operates through dynamic exchange.... giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.


3. The Law of Cause and Effect
(#3 - Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind.... what we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our action is happiness and success.

4. The law of Least Effort
( #4 - Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)

Nature's intelligence functions with effortless ease.... with care-freeness, harmony, and love. When we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.

5. The Law of Intention and Desire
(#5 - Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)

Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment... intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite power. When we introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.

6. The Law of Detachment
(#6 - Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)

In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty..... in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

7 The Law of Purpose in Life
(#7 - Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)

Everyone has a purpose in life... a unique gift or special talent to give to others. When we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.

Namaste is an Indian expression used as a greeting or upon parting, by putting the palms of the hands together in prayer position. It means, “I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me.”

This, of course, is also a way of saying, “I recognize that we are all equal.”

I ordered the Book, Embracing Coincidence, from Carol Lynn Pearson today, to be personalized and signed by her for each daughter and daughter in law, And left a short message for her when I ordered the books, I received a nice little personal message back from her. Here it is:

Much thanks, Jan, for your good words. I'm sure your daughters and daughters-in-law will love the book. Just for your own enjoyment, here's a synchronicity I had the other day, from my diary:

SYNCHRONICITY (February 28, 2009): THE FAITH OF A MUSTARD SEED? HOW ABOUT THE FAITH OF HUNDREDS OF MUSTARD SEEDS? This morning I read through the pages that Rachel Coleman had sent me for her book. There was a mention that when she was baptized at eight, she knew that girls often received gifts for the occasion, such as "a necklace with a tiny mustard seed encased in glass to remind you of Jesus’ teachings that having faith the size of a mustard seed could move mountains." Reading that, I thought, hmmm, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an actual mustard seed. Spent the day, among other things, giving the food pantry some serious attention, assimilating the food items Lynn Ann had left here before moving. Went through a bin. What’s this? A little packet of–"Mustard Seeds"! Hundreds of tiny mustard seeds!

I love it. How many mountains can I move with Hundreds of Mustard Seeds!

Blessings to you, Jan,

Carol Lynn
