Great Quotes about Your Possibilities

"You cannot be anything you want to be – but you can be a lot more of who you already are." – Tom Rath (Strengths Finder 2.0)

"Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong... and yet, a person can only perform from strength." – Business guru, Peter Drucker

"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." – Joseph Campbell

"As the sculptor of your own life, you must systematically chisel away all the extra 'marble' that obscures who you really are." Unique Ability – Creating the Life You Want

"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little cloud of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy." – George Bernard Shaw

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be - brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a Child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's 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." Marianne Williamson, in A Return to Love (Quoted by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech)

Muse: To be absorbed in one's thoughts; engage in meditation. Not intended to solve the world's problems, another person's problems, or to cover topics completely. One does not have to agree with musings to enjoy them, just as one does not have to be the same as someone else to appreciate who they are.

The man Martin Luther King Jr. called "an apostle of peace and nonviolence" has been a teacher, writer and vocal opponent of war. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh shares a few words of wisdom.

~ "Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice... No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out." ~

~ "People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar." ~

~ "Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive—that you can touch the miracle of being alive—then that is a kind of enlightenment." ~

~ "Many people are alive but don't touch the miracle of being alive." ~

~ "People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore." ~

~ "Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes." ~

~ "Life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now." ~

~ "When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?" ~

~ "To be loved means to be recognized as existing." ~

~ "Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature." ~

~ "We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality." ~

The Power of Intention

When you change the way you look at things,

the things you look at change.

What you think about changes your life.

The world conspires with you.

The law of floatation was not discovered

by the contemplation of the sinking of things.

(Not what the material is made of, but what is being displaced.)

We are already connected to everything we need in our lives.

Treasuring your divinity--We know that by the very nature of the creative process that we are one with this originating spirit.  We are one with its infinite personality.

We are all spiritual beings having a human experience.  We

The power which we want, gives us the ability to use that power.

Howard Troward

Free will to connect to this.  You will be in harmony with this.

Cell:  "Hi, this is Wayne Dyer.  I want to feel good.  If your call is designed to do anything, but that, you have reached the wrong number."

In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.  All that God created was good. --  I want to feel God.  I want to feel what it feels.  How can I feel good when so much around me is bad?  How can I feel good if . . . people are starving, cancer, etc.

You can not get sick enough to heal one person on this planet.  Poor enough . . . No amount of you feeling bad

You lose your connection to source--you create resistance.  You have emotions:  sadness, fear, anxiety.  Use emotions as a barameter:  What kinds of thought am I having in keeping --You are attracting the wrong kind of intentions.

News (depressive) with commercials to treat.

My idea about connecting to intention has obstacles.  "I want to feel good."  Obstacles are often in the way we perceive ourselves. 

1.  Ego--learn to stop being offended (very seldom will find yourself disappointed--identity have taken on)

2.  Energy of your life--

Recommends "Power vs. Force"  by David --Music, photos, prayers, shows we watch has energy, 12,000 simulated murders before 14, foods we eat, people we surrounds ourselves with, change people who find fault with your life.
3.  The belief
The creative source in your life reacts to your belief in shortages with a fulfillment of your belief.  If you believe you can't be healed, happy, attract right person, project, etc. it will fulfill your belief.  You are at one with the source and at one with everything else.

Match Game:  You want to always be matched up with the source.  See yourself at every moment of your life saying to yourself (think from the end.)  "How long have you been sick?"  --In three weeks it will be a month.
See yourself as already where you want to be.  If you think about what is missing in your life--It will continue to be refocused for you.  If you think about what always has been, don't be surprised if it keeps showing up in your life.  How in harmony am I with the intention of source?  There is nothing missing.

  "Your Friends are God's way of Apologizing For Your Relatives."  A friend is someone who before you can think aloud.

The difference between self-actualizing people
is they must be what they can be.

Live at a spiritual level of consciousness.
Where did I come from?
Everything was given for this spiritual journey. 
Everything was handled before this journey.

The Seven Faces of Intention:  When you are not in harmony you are stopping the mystical shape of your life.  A life that has no limits.

1.  The Face of Creativity
My intention to live my life on purpose.
The source is always creating.  You can pull from the source or you can have resistance to it.  How much of the source can you summon.

Patangoly:  The word "in spirit" inspired--When inspired by some great project your mind expands in every direction and you find yourself in a . . . Dormant forces, faculties and talents come alive.  You become a great person than you ever thought you were.  When you inspired everything is working!

In my world, nothing ever goes wrong.
If you are not creating, your thoughts about your purpose are your purpose trying to connect to you.  I've been thinking about . . . Keep thinking, surrounding yourself with those thought, eventually you'll connect to those thoughts.

All pockets ripped off of a jacket in his closet, because the last jacket you wear doesn't have any pockets.  Show up from infinite source, materialize, close.  Came from now here--Find a way to be of service!

Give your life away.  Suspend your ego.  Align yourself with purpose.  Ignore other people when they tell you what you should be doing. 

A camel starts and ends the day on his knees.

Goes without a [alcoholic] drink--not want that energy in your life.

Spiritual energy is

What do you contemplate?  What do you think about?  You become what you think about.  Watch what you think.  The more you place your attention on things you don't want the more you'll get them.  Redo your thinking.

Michaelangelo:  "The great danger is not that our hopes are too high, but that they are too low."

With God all things are possible!

--Wayne Dyer
