Living in Precious Time

Every breath we draw, every blink of our eyes is precious time.

In each moment, we can feel the Presence of something divine.

Within ourselves, evidenced by the perfect system we inhabit, is the Source for all our dreams.

It is the Source for practical living.

It is the Source for creative ideas.

It is the Source for all our solutions.

And the really nice thing is, that nothing we do from our Source interferes with anything anyone else is doing from their Source.

That is really the amazing benefit of Divine Management.

Infinite resources for all of the ideas which inhabit Creation.

So, back to precious time…

…there is intelligence, funding, balance, benefit, timeliness for every idea which is in accord with our highest sense of ourselves.

A Truly Amazing Coincidence.

So do not settle for something less than the best of which you are capable of dreaming.

Only the best, most fulfilling, exciting, dramatic and powerful you is worth your own time.

Think of yourself in terms which are unlimited.

Then you will match up with the divine.

And then you will live in precious time.

Listen Within Often

How can you find out what you need to know?

Your success is deep within you.

Once you get the knack of listening deep within, it becomes more and more natural.

Deep within, you have this amazing identity.

It doesn’t look like anyone else’s.

It is your unique signature.

It is your identity.

It is the reason you are here.

As you discover it, it will lead you to the most amazing and satisfying life.

The outer draw appeals only to your senses.

The inner guidance takes you all the way to your deep identity.

Believe me, you won’t be satisfied until you find your uniqueness.

You will be given the struggles and challenges that make you really value it and give you the strength to carry out your purpose.

You are here for a good work, not just a job.

You are here for an amazing ride.

Go find it.

Listen within, a lot, and often.

Being in Touch

Being in Touch

We may feel a lot of tension, most of it quite unnoticeable, because we are not yet really in touch with ourselves.

We have been conditioned to follow directions, go for certain types of economic and social goals, and yet, these may have nothing to do with what our own true goals are.

This produces a lot of tension, but since we are so used to feeling that way, we may not identify it correctly.

When we do find ourselves getting out of the made rush through illness, a sense of disorientation or lack of meaning, failure or simple fatigue, it gives us a change to look at things differently.

In the priority of gaining back our health, relaxing and slowing down, we have the opportunity to reassess what we are doing and why.

When we allow our true feelings to surface, we may be surprised to discover what they are.

Quite often, our true feelings reveal interests and priorities that have absolutely nothing to do with society’s values around us.

So, this is the moment of courage.

While you are feeling your weakest physically you may draw on the courage you never knew you had to change direction.

You will find that this contributes greatly to your health, your sense of focus and direction, your imagination, sense of purpose and your happiness.

Young Person’s Mentor

Womanhood and Manhood

The competence and freedom you express as part of the identity you create for yourself gives you the most possible fulfilled life.

Through your deep intuition and respect for yourself, your physical strength and dexterity are guided to be of service to yourself and others.

Because of your insight into your identity, you know that as you see yourself, you must naturally see others in the same way.

The more you respect your own beliefs and practices, the more you respect the beliefs and practices of others.

Your womanhood and manhood means that you have an ability to comfort as well as to provide.

Your womanhood and manhood means that you have an ability to listen as well as to express.

Your womanhood and manhood means that you have an ability to be generous as well as to be wise.

Your practice of these abilities are a part of what constitutes your womanhood and your manhood.

Consideration

When one of our adult children began visiting only his spouse’s family, we were surprised.

As it continued, we were confused.  We had met the girl, and originally enjoyed her a lot.

As the years continued, we wondered if she realized that his family loved him as much as her family loved her.

A friend invited me to a Facebook page for people who were experiencing estrangement.  Her adult daughter had ceased contact.

An artist friend told me of visiting her son and his family and asked him why, in the nine years of his marriage, they only visited his spouse’s family.  They had prepared to move there for their retirement.  Instead, they cut their visit short and enjoyed some vacation time in another location. 

In the light of my small circle of friends and their experiences, I was grateful another friend gave me an affirmation to consider.

“Thank you for what you are teaching me through this experience.”

For a few days, I pondered this without trying to come up with any answers.

Very gently, a few days later, I found out what I was being taught.

It was that it is OK to be happy anyway.

I was surprised.

There is so much emotional investment in raising children to adulthood.  One looks forward to enjoying adult conversations with our children once they are grown.  To including them and being included in an expanded sense of family.  To getting to know them in another context besides the challenges of raising them.

This is happening with a number of our other children.  We enjoy our conversations with them as adults.  Their expanding viewpoints and ours.  Their new experiences.  Watching them raise their children and seeing greater maturity permeate their lives.

Even though we don’t see some of our adult children, it is good to know that it is OK to be happy anyway.

The Universe is generous, and has given us full lives, apparently, with, or without our adult children.

And they, and we, are always very deeply loved.

Your Strength of Mind

You have strength of mind that you do not know yet.

Not all of it has been tested.

Yes, you have had some decisions that are life-changing.

And you will certainly have more of them.

How you keep your course is something that will test your strength over time.

You may decide to change your course for good reasons, and sometimes just because you get distracted.

But you will come back to your true course as you refine it and use your strength to maintain it.

Your strength of mind will move you forward.

It will keep you in a calm place while others around you are disturbed and distracted.

It will draw resources to you that will aid you.

Your strength of mind will wait while you grow up to appreciate it.

It will never dessert you.

It is part of the character you were born with.

You will discover more and more of it as you face the challenges in your life.

It will allow you to appreciate the paths others have taken ahead of you.

It will allow you to help lay down the path for others who will follow you.

Create the Peace You Crave

Whether it seems like it or not, your life is under your control.

If it feels crazy, unsatisfying, unbalanced, you can take steps to create the peace you crave in your life.

Instead of accepting the life you see around you, you can state the quality of life you want.

Peace, happiness, balance, joy.

Doing the things you love.

Making a contribution to society.

Creating community with like-minded people.

Take a deep breath, and listen deeply within.

Sit quietly until you can sense a deeper peace.

In that quiet feeling, you will get a sense of direction.

It may be a specific course of action, or it may simply be a peaceful feeling you can carry with you.

Use this as your guide when you feel tense or pressured.

You can turn to it within over and over again all day long.

With practice, this can become a constant factor which redefines and recreates your life.
