Thursday, February 28th, 2008You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
– author Marianne Williamson, in her book “Return to Love”

Commit to Success
Thursday, February 28th, 2008Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans :
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
– explorer WH Murray, who wrote the passage during one of the first Himalayan expeditions

The most difficult of all our tasks
Saturday, February 16th, 2008For one human being to love another : that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks… The work for which all other work is but preparation.
– Rainer Maria Rilke

Horror Movies Of The Mind
Friday, February 8th, 2008The mind plays tricks
Often it makes things out to be bigger than they really are
We think and think and think
“OMG it’s a disaster”
“OMG what are we going to do”
Then when it comes
And we get through it
It’s a breeze
It’s not as bad as we thought it to be
We handled it pretty well
It’s quite alright, actually
So it goes for all the things
That we keep holding back on
That we prepare continuously for
That we make a mountain out of
That we visualize and fantasize about
That we plan meticulously about
But never get to doing
Because the mountain seems too big and scary
Even though it is created out of the mole hill in our mind
A fiction
Which has become a horror movie
Playing forever in our minds
When merely switching off the projection machine
And chucking away the DVD
Will do the job of killing the horror movie
Liberating us
To live in reality
That which truly matters
Like love
Like relatives
Like relationship
Like dreams
Like public speaking
Like performing in front of people
Like women
Like men
Like kids
Remember that
It’s just a fiction of our mind
A projection of our own fears
It’s just a movie
It isn’t real
The reality can be quite different from the projection
Often, it’s much easier and achievable
Than we make it out to be
