The Light is who we Truly are!

"Everyone has this giant, luminous being that is their true self… Everyone is a sleeping giant, so to speak, waiting to hear the call, waiting to surrender to it, waiting to act on it. We’ve gotten caught up in thinking we are what we look like, 

the physical, the exterior. We think we’re the lamp shade. 

We’ve forgotten that we are the light—the electricity and the luminosity that lights up every man, woman, and child. 

The light is who we truly are.”

Michael

Living Gratefully​

"Living gratefully begins with affirming the good and recognizing its sources. It is the understanding that life owes me nothing and all the good I have is a gift accompanied by an awareness that nothing can be taken for granted."

"Good things as well as bad, you know, are caught by a kind of infection, if you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them."

For it is in Giving that we Receive...

“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love,

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console,

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” 

Francis of Assisi

Balance

“Sadness gives depth. 

Happiness gives height. 

Sadness gives roots. 

Happiness gives branches.

Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, 

and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. 

Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. 

The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots.

In fact, it is always in proportion. 

That’s its balance.” 

Osho

Let Go

 

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. 

What is it you would let go of today?”
