“Never surrender in the face of challenges. Challenges are just the Universe’s way of making sure you earn, and deserve, the success you are striving for. If you work vigorously with persistence and dedication while connecting to the force that surrounds you, destiny will provide you with the attainment of your desire. You must keep moving and tackling the problems that are thrown your way and when the Universe is convinced you are ready for success, it will be given to you. This readiness assessed by the Universe has to do with learning the lessons you were intended to learn along the way.”

Richard A. Singer, in “Your Daily Walk With the Great Minds”

“Most people agree that our entire universe was at some point created by nothingness by an infinite intelligent power. Absolutely everything in this universe is God’s creation, and yet most of us spend a great deal of time judging parts of God’s creation as bad, wrong, ugly, negative, sinful, evil, and so on.

Every time we negatively judge a person or situation, we are in essence telling God, “Hey, you really messed up on this one. This particular part of your creation sucks.”

What a thing to say to our Creator. What amazing gall our egos have, to stand in judgment of God’s creation. From my perspective, to condemn anything in this universe seems to be, at the very least, highly presumptuous.”

Posted on August 10, 2021 by jmaz479

“Feeling and expressing gratitude for the good we have in our lives doesn’t give us permission to passively accept the aspects of our lives that are not working. However, as we labor to spin the straw of lack into gold, we must focus on our wealth, not our poverty. And while we must consciously make an effort not to push away or avoid our problems, it is imperative that we simultaneously find things to praise. Complaining only focuses our mind’s attention on what is missing, and what we mentally focus on gradually take shape in the outer world.”

“We are called to the ever-present and ongoing journey of surrendering ourselves to the divine will. Through this continual act of surrender we come to find our essential nature and thus our true freedom. Even though at times we may find ourselves dying a painful death to our old concept of self, we will discover great treasures in giving ourselves over to the Beloved’s desire.”

“Patterns in life are not to be set, and they are not to be handed down from generation to generation. You cannot go back and change the past. You have to let go of it. As you let go of your attachment to the past, you are letting go of the hurt. You are letting go of your reaction to it. You can’t rewrite the script. You can, however, rewrite its power over you.

You can rewrite your reaction to it, not by dint of will, but by realization. Those who may have hurt you are not holding on to their dominion over you now. You are holding on to their dominion over you now. You came out of it. You live now. You are no longer the helpless child. Whatever disasters befell you in the past, they are present only at your say-so.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, August 9th, 2021 by Sanaya Roman in PERSONAL POWER THROUGH AWARENESS

Posted on August 8, 2021 by jmaz479

“When you feel depreciated or drained by a stranger for no apparent reason, you are suffering from what has been called a “psychic whack.” These connections are messages from the universe telling you to pay attention to what you are doing to yourself, to look at ways you may be giving away your energy to those who cannot receive it. I call them reminders.

The minute you find yourself being whacked or depreciated, by someone you will probably not see again, or only know as a distant contact, look more closely at the relationships you have with friends and loved ones. You may be depreciating yourself in some way. If the universe cannot reach you with its messages about those close relationships, it will send a stranger to you to catch your attention. It is only a reminder that there is some area in your life in which you are undervaluing yourself. Thank the person for that reminder, and then begin to look more closely at your relationships. Ask, “Where am I giving out my energy and not having it returned?”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, August 6th, 2021 by Deepak Chopra in THE SEVEN SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUCCESS

Posted on August 5, 2021 by jmaz479

“The word affluence comes from the root word, “affluere,” which means “to flow to.” The word affluence means “to flow in abundance.” Money is really a symbol of the life energy we exchange and the life energy we use as a result of the service we provide to the universe. Another word for money is “currency,” which also reflects the flowing nature of energy. The word currency comes from the Latin word “currrere” which means “to run” or to flow.

Therefore, if we stop the circulation of money – if our only intention is to hold on to our money and hoard it – since it is life energy, we will stop its circulation back into our lives as well. In order to keep that energy coming to us, we have to keep the energy circulating. Like a river, money must keep flowing, otherwise it begins to stagnate, to clog, to suffocate and strangle its very own life force. Circulation keeps it alive and vital.”

To discover your real self, you must admit that the real you began in a position between their truths. That’s why you were born there: to take a higher perspective on what they stood for. Your path is about discovering a truth that is a higher synthesis of what these two people believed.”

Posted on August 3, 2021 by jmaz479

“Silence is the container out of which your intuition can reveal itself. When your mind’s racing, when the music is blaring, or when a garbage truck is barreling down the street, it’s very hard to hear the subtle promptings of your inner wisdom. In a world where each moment can easily be filled with making phone calls, checking email, or sending text messages, short periods and, eventually, longer stretches of silence are imperative for cultivating a rich inner world…Silence recharges your batteries by stripping away the excess sensory stimulation from the outside world. It provides a container in which you can hear the voice of your soul. It’s the medicine that most of the world needs right now – and fears.”

Posted on August 2, 2021 by jmaz479

“Every situation in which we find ourselves is an opportunity to look in the mirror and see a perfect reflection of our thought patterns. All our situations—whether we’d label them negative or positive—are products of our thoughts. It is impossible, in this orderly universe, to randomly attract a situation not suited to your thoughts. If we don’t care for the pattern of situations we are attracting, we can confront its source: our thought patterns. Spiritual growth comes from discovering thought patterns that don’t suit you, and then deciding to replace them with healthier thoughts. It’s a little like weeding a garden.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, August 2nd, 2021 by Jerry and Ester Hicks in GETTING INTO THE VORTEX

Posted on August 1, 2021 by jmaz479

“Sometimes, even though you are asking for a specific desire to be fulfilled, you are not actually moving toward the fulfillment of your desire, but instead you are actually moving further away from it. And even though you think you are asking for what you do want, you request is actually being made from your awareness of its absence.

You usually feel discouraged when a great deal of time passes while you “work” on your desire, but the results you are seeking do not materialize. We want to help you understand that you simply cannot get there from there: you cannot get to where you want to be when you are keenly aware of its absence.

Rather than saying, “I want more money,” say instead, “I want to feel my financial well-being.” You see, it is possible to feel an increased sense of financial well-being even before the money comes. But when you are focused on the desire for the money, and taking score of the absence of the money, you are Vibrationally defeating your own purpose.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.
