Snips

What if we knew for certain that everything we're worried about today will work out fine? What if... we knew the future was going to be good, and we would have an abundance of resources and guidance to handle whatever comes our way? What if... we knew everything was okay, and we didn't have to worry about a thing? What would we do then?We'd be free to let go and enjoy life.Melody Beattie

Anxiety separates us from experiencing a great life. So caught up are we in our worry, we may even cut ourselves off from giving and receiving love. God invites us into a fuller life in which we recognize that there is no anxiety that our Creator cannot handle, if we only remember to ask for help.Mary Manin Morrissey
AA Thought of the Day / Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake... unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy.I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes." / AA, page 449

What you need for this moment, you already have. Everything else is a delightful bonus. There is nothing for which you must strive. For you are here, and alive, and aware and able. There is no reason for worry or anxiety.
There are so very many ways that you can choose to make a difference. There are no pressures, no demands, no regrets and no struggles. There is only now and the opportunity to fully live it.
In this moment, let go of the illusion of need and you are truly wealthy beyond all measure. Realize that lack and limitation exist only in your mind, and you'll see that you can instantly be free of them.
The whole universe is yours in this moment, to live, to experience, to transform into value and fulfillment. All the best that you could ever imagine is here for you now to bring to life.
Ralph Marston
When you are fully present, you are open and vulnerable. You say and do whatever comes to your mind without filtering it. You disclose your true feelings, right in the moment. You follow your inner spirit, trusting that you are doing what is right for you in that moment. If you don't get the result you wanted, you don't judge yourself or others as having failed. It's just what's happening in this moment. Your only question is, what's important for me in this new moment? In this way, your excellence is allowed to emerge from within you in ways that you may never have dreamed possible.
John Kuypers

WHAT IF becoming who and what we truly are happens not through striving and trying but by recognizing and receiving the people and places and practices that offer us the warmth of encouragement we need to unfold?
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
How should two people treat each other If they both know God?Like a musician touching his violin, with utmost care to caress the final note.HafizWish not so much to live long, as to live well.Benjamin Franklin
