THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Ensure Your Life Is Never Without Wonder

Image by TheAlieness GiselaGiardino²³  The awe we feel when we encounter a piece of wisdom that stirs us to our very souls can become the seed of a larger desire to expand our individual worldviews through education. 

Allowing ourselves to experience such feelings of wonderment is often the first step in a larger journey wherein we find ourselves confronted with information that broadens our minds immeasurably. 

However, revelations of this sort will seldom enter into our lives without our having invited them to do so. 

When we seek out knowledge through study, we ensure that our lives are never without the wonder that inspires our curiosity and compels us to absorb as many pieces of information as we possibly can. Take steps to expand your worldview today when you feel prompted by your awe to find out more about your world. —DailyOM

Words of Wisdom To Live By

Since I couldn't access Blogger over the weekend, here's a belated good news post from Abraham/Hicks - words of wisdom to live by. Give them some thought.

Acting under duress

If there is something that you have to do, resist the temptation to do it under duress. Ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that would happen if I didn't do this?" And if you can get away with not doing it at all, don't do it. And then imagine what would it feel like to have this done. 

Spend a day or two, if you can, just 15 minutes here, 5 minutes here, 2 minutes here, here and here, imagining it completed in a way that pleases you! And then, the next time you decide that you're going to take action about it, the action is going to be a whole lot easier. 

Harmony

I want to be the best that I can be. I want to do and have and live in a way that is in harmony with my idea of the greatest goodness. I want to harmonize physically here in this body with that which I believe to be the best, or the good way, of life. 

If you will make those statements, and then do not take action unless you feel good, you will always be moving upon the path in harmony with your idea of that which is good.

Meeting Resistance with Resistance 

If you don't meet resistance with resistance, it dissipates dramatically. It just softens. Try it! Next time somebody says to you, "I'm right, and you're wrong," say, "Pfftt, you're right. You are right. You're right." And mean it. 

In other words, don't mock them. Don't be sarcastic. "You're right." And then watch how, all of a sudden, their legs almost go right out from under them. They don't have the energy to blast you, because you just took the fuel away from the fire.  

Meditation

"Do you have to change your vibration on a particular subject in order to let it in?" No, you don't. You could pet your pet and let it in. You could sit with your feet dangling in the bay, and let it in. If it is a subject that you often think of in an attitude of resistance, it is really worthwhile reaching for some thoughts that feel better. 

You could launch an intention and never think about it again, and the Universe would yield it to you. You don't have to clean up your vibration relative to anything, if you can just not think about it any more. That's why we teach meditation. 

It's easier to teach you to have no thought than to have pure positive thought. When you quiet your mind you stop thought; when you stop thought you stop resistance; when you stop resistance--then you are in a state of allowing.
