BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, April 18th, 2011 by Stuart Wilde in WHISPERING WINDS OF CHANGE

When and if you are required to act, do so impeccably. Develop a plan, arrive with all that you need, act powerfully and decisively, don’t mince words, tell people who you are and what you want. Never engage your troops (energy) without first scouting the terrain. Never go forward in a hurry. Walk slowly, speak deliberately. Never get emotional and never let people manipulate you.

There’s always another deal, always another time, and there’s five billion other people. Let everyone know this is your philosophy. Tell them you have all the time in the world – because you do, you’re infinite.

Remember the greatest wisdom you can develop is the wisdom of not doing. It’s the deals and situations you can avoid that help you conserve energy and remain independent and strong.”

Stuart Wilde, in “Whispering Winds of Change”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, April 15th, 2011 by Stevie Wonder in THESE THREE WORDS

“When was the last time that they heard you say mother, or father I love you? And when was the last time that they heard you say daughter or son, I love you? The ones, you say you cherish everyday can instantly be taken away. Then you’d say I know this can’t be true, when you never took the time to simply tell them “I love you.”

These three words
Sweet and simple
These three words
Short and kind
These three words
Always kindle
An aching heart to smile inside.”

Stevie Wonder, in the song “These Three Words”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, April 14th, 2011 from Scott London in the book 100 WORDS by William L. Murtha

“People often define genius as a set of character traits or a way of being. Books instruct us how to think like Einstein or Leonardo da Vinci. But I see genius as the fulfillment of our true calling in life, as the flowering of our unique potential, whatever it happens to be. What good is thinking like an Einstein if you’re a Picasso or Charlie Chaplin? Why act like a Mozart if you’re a Maya Lin or a Tiger Woods? Every genius inhabits a universe of his or her own making, so imitating the behavior of others is pointless.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, April 13th, 2011 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOUR SACRED SELF

“The petty tyrants in your life are just as divine as those who provide you with encouragement and support. The bully in your life, pushing your fear and panic buttons, might just be God in disguise, teaching you how to rely on your own wits and transcend this petty tyrant’s behavior.”

“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind and trouble will follow you as the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart. Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakable.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, April 12th, 2011 by Vimala McClure in THE TAO OF MOTHERHOOD

“Many parents discover too late that one cannot raise children well with punishment as the core of discipline. Hit your child and eventually the child’s rage will be greater than you censure. Prisons are filled with “well-disciplined” people.

A good parent helps a child to learn how his behavior affects his own life through natural consequences. This is how true inner discipline is cultivated. A master carpenter cuts cleanly and quickly and makes furniture which endures. When you deliver harsh, judgmental consequences, you are trying to do nature’s job. Like an inexperienced carpenter, you are bound to make a mess of it and only hurt yourself.

“There are people in your life, who’ve come and gone.
They’ve let you down, you know they’ve hurt your pride.
You better put it all behind you, because life goes on.
You keep carrying that anger, It will eat you up inside.”

“There’s time to conceive in, and time to expire,but the time twixt the two tells the tale that transpires. So why must we continually disturb the Universe, with decisions and revisions which one minute will reverse? So people don’t worry about where you’ve gone wrong, ’cause you know if you hurry, it takes twice as long. Relax and forget about what’s to be done, it’s time to have fun.

It really doesn’t matter much to me, I know the best times are timeless, you’ll see.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, April 6th, 2011 by Joseph Campbell in REFLECTIONS ON THE ART OF LIVING BY DIANE K. OSBON

“There is no security in following the call to adventure, nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be. To refuse the call means stagnation. You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else’s path. You are not on your own path.

If you follow someone else’s way, you are not going to realize your potential.”

Joseph Campbell, in “Reflections on the Art of Living: A Joseph Campbell Companion” by Diane K. Osbon

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE VOICE OF KNOWLEDGE

Many people come to me and say, “Gosh, I want someone who loves me. I want the right man or the right woman to come into my life.” Who is the right man or the right woman? It’s not about them; it’s about you. If that person comes into your life, and you treat that person the way you treat yourself, which means with selfishness, then you are going to use that person to hurt yourself.

How can we want a romantic relationship when we don’t even like ourselves? How can we pretend to love somebody else when we don’t love ourselves? When you feel unworthy, when you don’t respect yourself, you don’t respect your partner either. If you don’t honor yourself, how can you honor your partner? How can you give anything that you don’t have for yourself?”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, April 4th, 2011 by Todd Rundgren in NO WORLD ORDER

“Mankind’s struggling hard to see the light, to hear the voice of the Spirit in the night, to lay down this heavy burden and pick up the soul power, and build a heaven on earth, hour by hour by hour.

Child protection, more careful mate selection, everyone wants to be wanted by a natural father and mother. Lookin’ for sense of wonder? Don’t let your faith go under, this is a beautiful world if we can only keep from fighting.

The answer is surrender, every race every gender. Beat our swords into plowshares on the anvil of a pure heart. We’ve gotta have honest answers, and the courage to take our chances. Opportunity is knocking loud, give me your attention.”

PONDER on THIS for Friday April 1st, 2011 by Ping Li in AWAKENING

“Your parents did the best they could. They gave you the best education they could offer. They gave you all their love and hope for you, but they also passed on the misunderstanding and suffering of their heart and soul. They also passed on to you their beliefs and values (consciously or unconsciously) through their behavior patterns and interactions with you and others. Their personal opinions, perceptions and attitudes toward life and the world were implanted in you as well…Your life lesson is an opportunity to learn about your own thoughts, beliefs, and feelings towards yourself, others and the world.

In truth, the only life lesson you have is to learn how to grow and expand more spiritually and become more conscious of your true nature. When you recognize your true self, you know that you are loved and are loving unconditionally within your being at all times. You don’t give in or do things you really don’t like in order to seek the love and approval of others. When you have love within yourself, you no longer need to seek love outside yourself, and you feel peaceful, harmonious and fulfilled at all times. You also understand that you are supported with everything you ever desired in all forms of the material world. You can manifest anything just by thinking about it. You know and experience who you really are.”

Ping Li, in “Awakening”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, March 31st, 2011 by Neale Donald Walsch in HOME WITH GOD

“Nothing you have done is so horrible, nothing you have had happen to you is so beyond repair, that it cannot be healed. I can and shall make you whole again.

Yet you must stop judging yourself. The one making the strongest judgment is you. Others may judge you from the outside looking in, but they do not know you, they do not see you, and so their judgments are not valid. Do not make them valid by taking them on as your own. They have no meaning.

Do not wait for others to see you as you really are, for they see you through the eyes of their own pain. Know, instead, that I see you now, in wonder and in truth, and that what I see of you is Perfect. As I look upon you I have but one thought: “This is my beloved, in whom I am well pleased.”

God, as spoken to Neale Donald Walsch, in “Home With God”

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, March 30th, 2011 by Joseph Murphy in THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

“Life forgives you when you cut your finger. The subconscious intelligence within you sets about immediately to repair it. New cells build bridges over the cut. Should you take some tainted food by error, Life forgives you and causes you to regurgitate it in order to preserve you. If you burn your hand, the Life-Principle reduces the edema and congestion, and gives you new skin, tissue, and cells. Life holds no grudges against you, and it is always forgiving you. Life brings you back to health, vitality, harmony, and peace, if you cooperate by thinking in harmony with nature. Negative, hurtful memories, bitterness, and ill will clutter up and impede the free flow of the Life-Principle in you.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, March 29th, 2011 by Rhonda Byrne, in THE SECRET

“Ask once, believe you have received, and all you have to do to receive is feel good. When you are feeling good, you are on the frequency of receiving. You are on the frequency of all good things coming to you, and you will receive what you have asked for. You wouldn’t ask for anything unless it was going to make you feel good in the receiving of it, would you? So get yourself on the feel-good frequency, and you will receive.

A fast way to get yourself on that frequency is to say, “I am receiving now. I am receiving all the good in my life, now. I am receiving [fill in your desire] now.” And feel it. Feel it as though you have received.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, March 28th, 2011 by Terry Cole-Whittaker in LIVE YOUR BLISS

“We have all heard the instruction that if you are going to do something, then do it right or don’t do it at all. This doesn’t even make sense. We wouldn’t tell a child not to try to walk unless she can walk perfectly the first time, without falling down. What is failure, other than simply not attempting to do what it is we want to do? There are always the naysayers, the critics who are hoping to see you fail because they are envious. They seek pleasure from the pain of others as if they will then find the happiness they seek.

We can only get what we want from its source – and all pleasures of the soul come from the reservoir of pleasure, God. Do the thing, and the power is yours to succeed. Don’t do it, and it won’t happen. Whatever you offer, offer it with love, the greatest motivating and actualizing power that exists.”

PONDER on THIS for Friday, March 25th, 2011 by Deepak Chopra in THE WAY OF THE WIZARD

“The real process of learning to love yourself would be better termed learning to love your Self, meaning your spirit. If you honestly look at your past, which is now stored as thousands of memories inside, you will always find a mixed bag – some experiences may have aroused love of self or others, many did not. Memories of shame, guilt, rejection, hatred, resentment, and other unloving feelings cannot be converted to love. These images are what they are. Accept them and move into a higher sense of Self, which is unconnected with memory.”
