Gratitude
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Simplicity
Experience the simple pleasure of concentrating on one task at a time. When we take stock of our lives and let gratitude begin its transformative work, the next step on the path unfolds naturally. When we appreciate how much we have, we feel the urge to pare down, get back to basics, and learn what is essential for our happiness.
Today is a gift to be simple
Today is a gift to be free
Today is a gift to come down
Where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves
In the place that’s right
I will be in the valley
Of love and delight
Order
Order is the shape upon which beauty depends. There is a divine order – a sublime order – inherent in the universe. We can tap into this powerful source of creative energy when we are willing to gradually cultivate a sense of order as to how we conduct our daily affairs.
Harmony
Harmony is the inner cadence of contentment we feel when the melody of life is in tune. We are able to strike the right chord – to balance the expectations of our families and our responsibilities in the world on the one hand with our inner needs for spiritual growth and personal expression on the other. This is one of the most difficult challenges we faces because it requires that we make choices every day. Usually when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time - time to dream, time to contemplate what’s working and what’s not, so that we can make changes for the better.
Beauty
We learn to be grateful no matter what our circumstances may be. In offering gratitude for our real lives, we discover how to change them for the better. As we embrace simplicity, we learn that less is truly more. This freedom encourages us to bring order to our affairs and cultivate harmony in our inner world. Going at our own pace, learning to recognize our limitations, appreciating our progress, we weave the lessons into the fabric of our daily moments until they become a part of us. We come to a deep awareness that creating a beautiful life is our highest calling.
Joy
Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy. But this requires a profound inner shift in our reality. I learn to trust the flow of life and the goodness of spirit. I began to expect the best from any situation. I could write new chapters in my life with happy endings. I am willing to let go of struggle and eager to learn through joy.
Acres of diamonds
Within each of us lie a wellspring of abundance and the seeds of opportunity. For each of us there is a deeply personal dream waiting to be discovered and fulfilled. When we cherish our dream and then invest love, creative energy, perseverance, and passion in ourselves, we will achieve an authentic success.
Acceptance
What is acceptance? Acceptance is surrendering to what is: our circumstances, our feelings, our problems, our financial status, our work, our health, our relationships with other people, the delay of our dreams. The acceptance has become the long sign of the soul. It is the closed eyes in prayer. It’s all right, as in “all right, you lead, I will follow”. Everything is going to turn out all right.
Blessing our circumstances
Bless a thing and it will bless you. If I bless a situation, it has no power to hurt me, and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if I sincerely bless it.
Blessed be the morning for me and mine. Blessed be the day for me and mine. Blessed be the night for me and mine. My work is a prayer for good for me and mine.
I will write myself into well-being.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
