BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, February 2nd, 2024 by Sanaya Roman in LIVING WITH JOY

Posted on February 1, 2024 by jmaz479

“As you are on the phone during the day, speaking to your friends, do you let them talk on long past when you would like them to be gone? Do you listen to their stories that bring down your energy? Do you make appointments to see people, even though you do not truly have the time, or when there is no higher purpose in being with them? To find the path of joy you will want to ask why you feel obligated to people or to the forms you have created.

The path of compassion does not obligate you to love everyone regardless of how they act or who they are. It is a path of seeing the truth of who they are, acknowledging all their parts. It is the path of looking at people and asking is there anything you can do to heal, assist, or bring them in touch with their higher vision? If there is not, then you are pulling down your own energy by spending time with them.”

Sanaya Roman, in “Living with Joy”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, February 1st, 2024 by Annemarie Greenwood and Marissa Campbell in LIFE: LIVING IN FULFILLMENT EVERY DAY

Posted on January 31, 2024 by jmaz479

“The thing about repetitive, reactive behaviors is that over time they become deeply ensconced in our physiology. By always reacting a certain way to a certain stimulus, we create deep neural pathways, deep ingrained ruts. We have absolutely no concept that we are doing so. We become very comfortable living unconsciously, reacting to everything and everyone without thinking it through or examining its presence in our lives. These patterns of behaviors or reactions become so habitual that we carpet our ruts, set up walls, buy wonderful furniture and move in. Eventually, over time, as these repetitive reactions continue, we forget that we have a built a foundation on a rut and are unable to discern its original cause – why we began reacting like that in the first place.

Keep in mind that most of our repetitive reactions were created through our original interactions with our tribes, as far back as our conception. These reactions accumulated and deeply entrenched themselves into our psyche. We could spend years searching, but it’s not necessary to understand the root cause of our behaviors. It doesn’t matter if our parents are the underlying cause of any of our ruts; we just need to be aware that there is a pattern or rut, hiding under the carpet. And we have to use our free will to decide that we no longer want it there, that we no longer want it influencing our lives!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, January 31st, 2024 by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

Posted on January 30, 2024 by jmaz479

“To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive – the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Just being ourself is the biggest fear of humans. We have learned to live our life trying to satisfy other people’s demands. We have learned to live by other people’s points of view because of the fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.

During the process of domestication, we form an image of what perfection is in order to try to be good enough. We create an image of how we should be in order to be accepted by everybody. We especially try to please the ones who love us, like Mom and Dad, big brothers and sisters, the priests, and the teacher. Trying to be good enough for them, we create an image of perfection, but we don’t fit this image. We create this image, but this image is not real. We are never going to be perfect from this point of view. Never!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 30th, 2024 by Fr. Anthony DeMello in WALKING ON WATER

Posted on January 29, 2024 by jmaz479

“SPIRITUALITY IS BEING AWAKE. Getting rid of illusions. Spirituality is never being at the mercy of any event, thing or person. Spirituality means having found the diamond inside yourself. Religion is intended to lead you there. “What good does it do to win the world and lose your soul?” Think about what you feel when you look at a sunset or are in contact with nature. And compare that with your feeling when you are appreciated, applauded, praised. The first kind of feelings, I call feelings of the soul; the second is what I call feelings of the world. Think about the feeling you have when you win a race or an argument, when you get to the top, when you reach success. Feelings of the world.

The feelings of the world aren’t natural; they were invented by your society and mine to control us. The don’t lead to happiness, only to excitement, emptiness, and anxiety. Think about your own life. Is there even a single day when you aren’t consciously or unconsciously oriented toward what others think, feel or say about you? Your steps are controlled; you march to the drumbeat. Look around. See if you find anyone who is free of such feelings. Feelings of the world. Everywhere you find people chained to feelings of the world, living empty. They have gained the world but lost their souls.”

Posted on January 28, 2024 by jmaz479

“Never question your unlimited power to create what you desire in life. Do not ask your ego if you can do something because it has limits, instead, ask your soul, your spirit, your higher-self and it will let you know the astonishing power you have to manifest anything you believe you can. Believe, and nothing will impede you on your journey. There is nothing different about you or that separates you from the great minds of the past or present. Great achievers believed they could succeed, worked persistently and passionately, and did not give up until they met their goals. This is the secret of remarkable success.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, January 26th, 2024 by James Altucher in CHOOSE YOURSELF

Posted on January 25, 2024 by jmaz479

“Honesty is the only way to make money in today’s world. Nobody believes me on this. People laugh at me. “Don’t you know anything? Of course dishonest people step on the honest people and have more success.” People want to justify their own failures and use their pretend-goodness to explain why they didn’t start Google, or steal $65 billion, or get that last promotion when the backstabbing b—h from aisle 3 got the raise after doing who knows what. But here’s the truth. Dishonesty works…until it doesn’t. Everyone messes up. And when you are dishonest, you are given only one chance and then it’s over. You’re out of the game – at least until you get your act straight and you have to start from scratch with your tail between your legs.

HONESTY COMPOUNDS. It compounds exponentially. No matter what happens in your bank account, in your career, in your promotions, in your start-ups. Honesty compounds exponentially, not over days or weeks, but years and decades. More people trust your word and spread the news that you are a person to be sought out, sought after, given opportunity, given help, or given money. This is what will build your empire. I know this through countless failures. The more times I fail but communicate about it, the more times I make no money at all but let someone have ideas for free, the more times I try to “get mine” but only end up getting stabbed by those who think it’s OK to be dishonest, the greater the number of seeds I’ve planted and the more money I’ll make in the long run.

Be dishonest once, and all of those seeds will be washed away in a thunderstorm of life-killing proportions. A hurricane of despair that will sweep away all of your opportunities forever. You are left with a desert and will have to start again.”

Posted on January 24, 2024 by jmaz479

“Our level of accomplishment and satisfaction does not come from measurements, it comes from a clear understanding of yourself and the magnificence of who you are as a spiritual being, not what you see yourself as in the physical world. In the physical/human world, you measure yourself against others, defining your success based on what you see as success with your EGO, or what society sets as success for you. Based on the world of man’s viewpoint of the world, there will always be somebody who will be more successful that yourself.

Just think about companies, credit scores, academic grades, movie stars, beauty, and everything you use to measure yourself. In the world of God, there is no status, or better or worse! In the eyes of God, we are all ONE! We are all loved by our Creator equally!”

Posted on January 23, 2024 by jmaz479

“Now here is how you can help God. Live your life deliberately, harmoniously, and beneficially. These three ways of living you can accomplish by using the gifts I have given you: creative energy, gentle wisdom and pure love.

Creative energy has been placed by Me in your entire being, and in everything that proceeds from it. Thoughts, words, and deeds are the Three Tools of Creation. When you know this, you can choose to be the CAUSE of your experience, rather than being at the EFFECT of it. Life proceeds out of your intentions for it. When you are aware of this, you can live your life deliberately. The things you say, you say deliberately. The things you do, you do deliberately. When you do something and people say, “You did that deliberately!” it will not be an accusation, but a compliment.”

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

Posted on January 22, 2024 by jmaz479

“Freedom is being able to choose whoever and whatever you want to be at any moment in your life. If you have to act in a particular way to avoid being something you don’t like, you’re trapped. You’ve limited your freedom and robbed yourself of your wholeness. If you can’t be lazy, you can’t be free. If you can’t be angry when something upsetting happens, you can’t be free. If you deal with someone’s behavior by being the opposite, question yourself. If you are constantly annoyed by a particular group of people, find the ways in which you are like them.

It’s not only our negative traits that we project on to other people; it’s also our positive traits. Most people with whom I work with project their genius and creativity, their power and success. If you want to be like others, it’s because you have the ability within you to be like them. If you are enthralled by megastars and spend time and money reading about their lives, find the aspect you love in them inside of you.

You deserve to have whatever it is you see and truly desire. The only difference between you and the people you idolize is that they are manifesting one of the qualities you desire and probably fulfilling their dreams. When you are not living up to your potential, it’s easy to project your positive traits  onto people who are living up to theirs.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, January 22nd, 2024 by William Murtha in CREATE YOUR OWN LIFE STORY

Posted on January 21, 2024 by jmaz479

“What could you do to begin treating yourself with more compassion? How and where can you encourage the habit of of no longer comparing yourself to others all the time? What needs to shift in your mind so that you never tell yourself you’re not good enough, thin enough, or worthy enough? When will you finally give yourself space and time to put your oxygen mask on, before you suffocate beneath the heavy load of self-induced expectations?

Self-care isn’t just foamy baths, spa days away, sports trips, or mini-breaks in the sun with friends. Neither is taking your card for a day out to the shopping mall. It’s not something self-indulgent, but rather about treating yourself as you would probably treat your closest and dearest friends. With self-love, you will no longer constantly berate yourself when you fall over and fail. Self-compassion is often the simple act of talking to yourself in a loving and gentle way.

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, January 19th, 2024 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in PULLING YOUR OWN STRINGS

Posted on January 18, 2024 by jmaz479

“The most obvious thing about which you can do nothing now is your past behavior. Everything  that you ever did is simply over, and while you can almost always learn from it, and sometimes change effects that are continuing into the present, you cannot undo what you have done. Therefore, any time you find yourself quarreling about how you should or shouldn’t have done something, instead of discussing how you can grow from your past errors or what can be done NOW, you are a victim in a no-escape pitfall.

To chew old cud endlessly, to be reminded of how you did this or that, and how you should have done it, or to agonize over how you might have done it, are all victim responses you can challenge. Since you can only live in the present moment, it is preposterous and self-negating to let yourself be hurt about what used to be.”

Posted on January 17, 2024 by jmaz479

“Any effective spiritual practice must assist you in noticing how frequently you become offended by others, virtually without ceasing. Although you may have labeled this habit as being “sensitive,” there’s actually nothing sensitive about it at all. True sensitivity involves recognizing that your own misguided mental patterns are, most likely, virtually identical to those who offend you. Habitual reaction to others’ comments and actions is, instead, reactionary and in fact is quite insensitive. If you must react, at least call it what it is: resistance extraordinaire.

This is why it is so important to recognize that, despite being in the midst of difficult people and difficult problems, a spiritual ripening can absolutely occur if you elevate effective spiritual practice to a priority within a context of everyday challenges and activities. You can awaken, spiritually, in your own household if you courageously observe your own noisy mental patterns. Your problems and the difficult people who surround you all point to the road to freedom.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, January 17th, 2024 by Louise Hay in YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE

Posted on January 16, 2024 by jmaz479

“Thoughts have no power over us unless we give in to them. Thoughts are only words strung together. The have no meaning whatsoever. Only WE give meaning to them. And WE choose what sort of meaning we give to them. Let us choose to think thoughts that nourish and support us.

Part of self-acceptance is releasing other people’s opinions. If I were with you and kept telling you, “You are a purple pig, you are a purple pig.” You would either laugh at me, or get annoyed with me and think I was crazy. It would be most unlikely you would think it was true. Yet many of the things we have chosen to believe about ourselves are just as far out and untrue. To believe that your self-worth is dependent on the shape of your body is your version of believing that “You are a purple pig.”

Often what we think of as the things “wrong”’ with us are only our expressions of our own individuality. This is our uniqueness and what is special about us. Nature never repeats itself. Since time began on this planet, there have never been two snowflakes alike nor two raindrops the same. And every daisy is different from every other daisy. Our fingerprints are different, and we are different. We are meant to be different. When we can accept this, then there is no competition and no comparison. To try to be like another is to shrivel our soul. We have come to this planet to express who WE ARE.”

Posted on January 15, 2024 by jmaz479

“Loyalty to friends is easy when nothing rotten is in the air. But when rumors are flying, or innuendos, or betrayals – that is when the quality of true friendship becomes the stuff of heroic response. To give a friend the benefit of the doubt, to listen with depth and compassion and non-judgment to his/her story, to remain an approving friend even when you do not agree with a particular position, to be truly loyal in an age where loyalty is so easily relinquished – these are opportunities to use friendship as a means of righteous participation in life.

We live at a time when people collect friends like we collect clothes – different types for different moods, seasonal, disposable. Friends should be like classics, having nothing to do with this season’s trends or appetites or designs. They should be a mainstay of life, not only for what we get from them personally, but also for the opportunities they provide us to practice the art of a more noble existence.”

“We are increasingly seeing, feeling, and experiencing how unavoidably connected we all are. And we’re not just connected in the present. We can also be carried backward in time, to the music of the sixties, the sonnets of Shakespeare, the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf – all of which we can see and read and hear online. In the past in order to see such things, you would have to actually go to the British museum or the pyramids. But now, with the click of a finger, you can partake of them in cyberspace. Boundaries are melting. Time is drooping over our chairs like Dali watches. We are leaning in, feeling, finding each other.

We don’t have a choice about all this interconnectedness. We can’t go back to the way things were. Our task now is simply to respond, to awaken to the experience of communion that is making its way to us, through us.”
