BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, April 4th, 2016 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOU’LL SEE IT WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT

“Forgiveness means changing your misperceptions. When we forgive another for anything that he or she may have done to us, we are really saying, “I no longer give you the power to control who I am, how I think, and how I’ll behave in the future. I take responsibility for all of that now.” Thus we really have nothing to forgive, since we create our own reality by how we choose to process the behavior of others.

We processed it in a way that hurt us when we chose blame. We might have chosen not to have hatred within ourselves and simply let it go. Once we change our perceptions of life’s hurts and pains and see that we create all that we need for this dream, including the scoundrels, we no longer need to blame anyone for anything. This is the most freeing stage to reach that you can imagine.”

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, in “You’ll See It When You Believe It”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, April 1st, 2016 by Neale Donald Walsch in THE NEW REVELATIONS

“Do not seek first to change the world. You will not change the world by trying first to change the world. You will change the world by first changing yourself. You must first decide some important things about yourself, come to some new conclusions within yourself about who you are, about God, and about Life, and then begin to live those decisions.

This inner process can, in fact, produce changes in the world around you, for the world that you touch is affected by how you touch it. Who you are, and how you are, affects the world to a much larger degree than you might imagine. Yet, remember this. You cannot achieve inner peace by being agitated if you do not achieve outer peace.

Therefore, do not tie your efforts at personal transformation to a result called planetary transformation, or you may achieve neither.”

God, as spoken to Neale Donald Walsch, in “The New Revelations”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, March 31st, 2016 by Marianne Williamson in EVERYDAY GRACE

“We don’t need to push life so much as we need to experience it more elegantly, to be motivated more by inspiration than by ambition. Sometimes we’re so intent on moving up the ladder that we make compromises we know we shouldn’t make while we’re on the lower rungs. Yet faith is a ladder that leads to new heights. We are here to do what God would have us do; our prayer is to receive guidance not only as to what that is, but also how to do it in any situation. We can remain in the realm of divine understanding, for our depth of understanding is the key to the life we truly want.”

Marianne Williamson in “Everyday Grace”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, March 30th, 2016 by Stuart Wilde in AFFIRMATIONS

“The evil in the world allowed there to be saints, just as the failures of your life – and there really are none – allow you to create the groundwork for success. However, if you recall the disaster and say, “That is the energy pattern I experienced last time so I had better be careful this time,” you restrict your areas of personal development.

Negative thought is self-fulfilling: The farther you fall into negativity, the harder it is to climb out of the morass. The prophecy of negativity grows stronger and stronger, and each event in your life serves to confirm its truth.  To make affirmations of thought work, you have to create within you a parabola of hope and positive expectancy. The thought-form has to become a natural habit that says, “There is a way, and I will definitely find it.”

Stuart Wilde, in “Affirmations”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, March 29th, 2016 by Neale Donald Walsch in FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

“Accepting something doesn’t mean refusing to change it. In fact, the opposite is true. You cannot change that which you do not accept – in yourself especially, and outside of yourself as well.

Accept everything, therefore, as the divine manifestation of the divinity within you. Then you declare yourself to be its creator, and only then can you “uncreate” it. Only then can you recognize – that is, know again – the power within you to create something new.

To accept something is not to agree with it. It is simply to embrace it, whether you agree with it or not.”

God, as spoken to Neale Donald Walsch, “Friendship with God”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, March 28th, 2016 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOUR SACRED SELF

“Whatever it is that you want to know or accomplish in your life, if you are truly ready and trust in your divine powers to manifest it, the teachers will be there. You WILL be guided. Money will not make a difference. If you want the education (or anything else), you will find a way to create it.

Only you are responsible for what you think. It is at this level that you exercise choice. I encourage you to change your thinking about the importance of goals. Instead, have a divine idea of how you would like to serve and help and how to improve the quality of life for others. You will find the way.

Far more important than goals in your life is your willingness to allow things to happen and your willingness to know.”

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, in “Your Sacred Self”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, March 25th, 2016 by Sanaya Roman in LIVING WITH JOY

“Self-esteem means believing in yourself, knowing that you did the best you knew how, even though two days later you could see a better way. It involves making yourself right rather than wrong and allowing yourself to feel good about who you are.

Some of you try very hard all the time, pushing yourselves, rushing around and feeling that whatever you do, it is not enough. Trying and working hard to get things done is not necessarily the road to joy. Respect yourself by following your inner flow. Rest, play, think, and take time to get silent. Doing those things that nurture you are ways to increase your self-esteem.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, March 24th, 2016 by Michelle Bersell in F.E.E.L.: FEEL EVERY EMOTION AS LOVE

“The love emanating from your essence wants you to experience your highest version of you. And for this to happen, you must act from love. You can’t act from love, though, when you are buying into some limited belief about yourself. It is your ego that would have you believe you are so small and insignificant that there is no way you could make those “pipe dreams” in your heart your reality. You – the proverbial grain of sand on a vast beach – don’t really matter, right? You don’t have anything of value to offer, correct? You have a choice: sink into those thoughts OR listen to your essence scream “That’s bullshit!”

Your essence is guiding you to realize that if you continue to choose your ego’s narrow path, you guarantee an unfulfilled life of frustration.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, March 23rd, 2016 by Michael Tamura in YOU ARE THE ANSWER

“Forgiving means that you are for giving instead of against giving. Forgiveness doesn’t demand that you condone what others do with their lives or how they use it against you; you only need to give willingly to the Life within them, which is the same one Life within you. Each time you forgive, you heal the spirit trapped within the action and the person.

Often we resist forgiving for fear that, in forgiving, the hurtful experience may be repeated. In truth, however, it is only in forgiving that we cull the wisdom from our experience and, once the lesson is learned, we need not repeat it. Forgiveness grows out of the wisdom of the heart and forgiveness is the heart of wisdom. Love for-ever-gives.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, March 22nd, 2016 by John Selby in EXPAND THIS MOMENT

“We have great difficulty accepting ourselves just as we are, because we’re afraid that who we are right now isn’t good enough. Even tentatively entertaining the thought of accepting ourselves as we are can feel threatening. The New Age movement, built on the premise that we are not okay as we are but must constantly work to improve ourselves on all levels is a prominent example.

Look at this closely: we have an ingrained fear that, if we decide to honor and love ourselves just as we are, we’ll lose our motivation for chronically pushing ourselves to get ahead in life. And we deeply fear this motivation. We worship success and advancement – and we judge the present moment itself as not good enough. But is this true?

Aren’t we capable of enjoying life as it is right now? Must we make things better before we can ease up and enjoy ourselves?”

“If you really want to know how stubborn you are, just approach the idea of being willing to change. We all want to have our lives change, to have situations become better and easier, but we don’t want to have to change. We would rather they change. In order to have this happen, we must change inside. We must change our way of thinking, change our way of speaking, change our way of expressing ourselves. Only then will the outer changes occur.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, March 18th, 2016 by Alan Cohen in THE DRAGON DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE

Our history is not our destiny. You and I are here to build and live in a new world. Your role in bringing about that world is much simpler than you have realized. You are not required to become a world leader, invent a revolutionary mode of travel, or discover a miraculous medicinal panacea—unless your spirit so guides you.

Your purpose here is much more personal and relevant to the life you are not living. You are here to discover and release the beliefs that have kept you living in a circle smaller than your potential, and step into a world that honors the greatness within you and everyone you meet. You are here to claim your vision and walk in the light. You are here to be you.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, March 17th, 2016 by Terry Cole-Whittaker in LIVE YOUR BLISS

“Dissolve your attachment to whether or not what you desire manifests. Do your best to bring it about, and at the same time let go and let God do God’s part. We generate distress, hurt feelings, and anger when we are too attached to getting the results we want, as if our future happiness and pleasures will be ruined unless everything happens just as planned. Happiness is what makes the world go round – it’s the motivating force behind our endeavors – but it doesn’t depend on external circumstances. Nothing and no one outside of us can give us the happiness we crave. Always keep your mind at peace in the transcendental position, instead of allowing it to swing back and forth from success to failure.”

“Anything abnormal in life fascinates us, whether in the body, bank account, or in relationships. And what we focus our attention on grows – the malady intensifies, the lack produces more of its kind, and the discord gets harsher – because energy follows thought.

When we can remember that the only problems we have are those we have entertained in our house of consciousness, we’ll start being discerning. Just because Mr. Ill, Mrs. Limitation, or Ms. Disharmony knocks on the door doesn’t mean we have to invite them in. Sometimes all it takes is, “Please leave. You are not welcome.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, March 15th, 2016 by Jonathan Parker in THE SOUL SOLUTION

“I suggest you stop what you’re doing every hour or so if possible, and tune into yourself and ask: “What have I been experiencing during the previous hour?” This is a helpful process that enables you to become more mindful as well as to discover what issue or pattern to bring to your soul-solution process. One way to help you remember to do this is to carry a small, inexpensive electronic timer in your pocket, and set it to vibrate every hour. The vibration is your reminder to check in with yourself. After a few weeks you’ll find that you’re automatically more mindfully aware all the time.”
