THE SEASONS OF LIFE
(Thanks to Jim Rohn)
Springtime is a time to take advantage of opportunity, of friendship, of love and of ideas. Summertime is a time to protect and to nurture. Autumn is a time for harvesting the fruits of our springtime labor. Winter will always come. That is one of the great lessons to learn. Winter comes in many forms. Either we are prepared or we are unprepared. Life has its seasons. Planning for the seasons is preparing for life.
. . . And Now More Lessons . . .
"Show me a thoroughly satisfied man (woman) and I will show you a failure." Thomas Alva Edison
"Dreams are the touchstones of our characters." Henry David Thoreau
"My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there." Charles F. Kettering
"If a man (woman) takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand." Confucius
"There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way." Christopher Morley
The human spirit has its source in the divine fountain which must be permitted to flow freely through man. Anyone who flows as life flows has solved the enigma of human existence and needs no other power. Anything is evil that blocks the flow of creative action, and everything is healthy (prosperous) that flows with the Universe.
- - - Lao-tzu (2500 years ago)Time goes, you say? Ah no, alas, time stays, we go. - - Austin Dobson
"A man (woman) who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." Charles Darwin
May you live all the days of your life. - - - Jonathan Swift
From Eric Butterworth:
God is not a superperson "out there" to whom we pray and from whom we beg favors. God is a life process by which we live. . . . God is not the Grand Man of the heavens, the great purser of accounts and disburser of divine substance. God is the transcendant whole of things of which you are an individualized part. The whole Universe of innate substance is centered in you. There is nothing you can do to add to that or take away from it. . . . The Universe was no more centered in Jesus than it is in you. However, Jesus in his disciplined consciousness was centered in the Source, while we usually centered in various levels of limitation. Jesus clearly said that you can do all that he did if you can believe, if you can center yourself in the creative flow, as he was always so centered. . . . Faith simply tunes into and turns on the divine flow that has always been present. . . . Faith is really your consent to let your own uniqueness unfold and to let that which is attracted by your uniqueness manifest in your life. . . .The Truth (is) that you can grow, you can improve, you can be prosperous, you can succeed, if you can believe. . . . As Jesus promised, "Greater works than these will he (you) do" if you believe.
"Man (Woman) is what he (she) believes." Anton Chekov
And in today already walks tomorrow. - - - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"We can do all things if we will." Leon Battista Alberti
Practice the presence of God-substance with diligence and persistence, and you will begin to realize prosperity. - - - Eric Butterworth
A Child's Spiritual Mind Treatment God is in All, over All and through All. God and I are One. I believe and I receive. I am grateful. Over and out! "Carpe diem." Seize the day. If you abide in my word, then you will know the truth and truth will make you free. - - - Matthew 8:33
This from Eric Butterworth in Spiritual Economics:
"The only things which really count are the things that happen in you. . . . you live in a world of your consciousness, which is the sum total of the thoughts of your mind. And you can control what goes on in your mind. . . . you are a living magnet, constantly drawing to you the things, the people, and the circumstances which are in accord with your thoughts . . . . you are where you are in experience, in relationships, even in financial conditions, because of what you are (which is where you are in consciousness) . . . . if you are willing to accept full responsibility for your life, then even as your level of thought has put you where you are (or at least contributed to it), so by a change of consciousness, you can change the experiences of your life."
Dear Lord, keep me healthy, safe and happy.
Keep my family and friends, healthy, safe and happy, too.
Help me reach my full potential, to be the very best that I can be.
Let me have good dreams, not bad ones.
May angels watch over me day and night.
Let me live to be a healthy, happy 100 years old.
Let me live by the Golden Rule:
to do unto others as you will have them do unto you.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses.
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
Do not lead us into temptation. But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Behind all that is visible, there is the invisible power of mind.
Spirituality is natural goodness. God is not a person; God is a Presence personified in us. Spirituality is not a thing;
It is the atmosphere of God's Presence, goodness, truth, and beauty. Religion is a life, a living. If we could forget that philosophy is profound, that religion is spiritual, and life serious --
all of which may be true -- but if we could forget all of these things, and approach Reality as
normally as we go about our daily affairs, we would be better off. --- Ernest Holmes
"What lies behind us and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." --- Oliver Wendell Holmes
It is from peace of mind that all right action takes place. My expectation is peacful.
God, the Source, the Power, the Universe, is creating through me twenty-four hours a day
Make use of your D.O.S. (Divine Operating System).
Our Mind must be steady in its Conviction that our Life is some part of God, and that the Spirit is incarnated in us. - Ernest Holmes
My great concern is not whether God is on our side, my great concern is to be on God's side.
- - - Abraham Lincoln
I affirm and believe that I am living in and surrounded by the force field of universal Good. Only Good flows through me from people, places, and things around me. Thoughts of love, success, harmony, and goodwill move through my mind as I think of others. I bless the place where I live, and appreciate its advantages. I bless my work or purpose, knowing it is the channel through which my abundance comes to me. I bless my body which serves me so well in expressing the one Life. Thank you, Father-Mother God for all this Good. - With liberties from Dr. Carlo Di Giovanna
Because God or the Source is infinite in its capacity to know, there is a Mind within you that knows exactly what you should do today. Realizing that the Spirit with you is God or the Source; being conscious of the Divine Presence as the sustaining Principle of your life; let that Mind be in you which was also in the great teacher, Jesus Christ. This Mind guides you today in your every decision. Declare the same guidance for all people. - - With liberties from Ernest Holmes
From Oscar Wilde: Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
"It's important to run not on the fast track, but on your track. Pretend you have only six months to live. Make three lists: the things you have to do, want to do, and neither have to do or want to do. Then, for the rest of your life, forget everything in the third category." - - - Robert S. Eliot & Dennis L. Breo
From Walt Whitman - - - O, while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me shall ever take command of me.
