Handling It

I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much. - Mother Teresa

My Purpose

Here is an excerpt from Dr. John Demartini’s book, How To Make One Hell Of A Profit And Still Get To Heaven.

You are a soul whose true nature is light, on a journey to ever higher levels of consciousness and states of divine expression. Your vitality on that journey is directly proportionate to the vividness of your vision. If you don’t have something challenging and fulfilling to awaken for in the morning, you won’t rise and shine. Unless your goals are vast and growing, you’ll tend to slow down as you approach their fulfillment rather than letting yourself run out of things to do. In other words, you won’t let yourself become extinct. That’s why it’s important to keep clarifying your purpose and expanding your goals and heavenly dreams.

Even with a clear purpose, you’ll occasionally be distracted and uninspired. The only reason you’re not inspired at those times is because you haven’t linked what you are doing to your purpose. Make a list of everything you do in a normal day and ask yourself, “How does that help me fulfill my mission?” Keep linking everything to what you’d love, and find its meaning and significance in your life. Anything you don’t see as part of your purpose feels pointless, and the ratio of pointlessness to purposefulness is how much hell or heaven you have in your life. Ask that question, and keep asking and linking until it doesn’t matter what you do, you fell you’re on purpose. The truth is that everything you do is connected, and the more you link your actions to your purpose, the more you get to do what you love.

You vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. - Carl Jung

I’ve been hearing and reading the word purpose over and over the past 2 weeks. It’s popping up everywhere. This is a sign for me. My life needs a purpose. If there is no point to life, why live it? All purpose flour has a purpose, so should we all. And there I go shoulding on all. Let me change that to so should I. At the moment, all signs tell me that my purpose is to feel inspired and inspire others. And I do feel that way. Spent my fourth of July at a backyard party up here in Alaska, surrounded by lush gardens and down to earth people. Ate 7 helpings of desserts including 3 different rubbarb pies and 3 various brownies. Listened to a bluegrass string band named the Thunder Pluckers and sat by the fire as the smoke chased everybody around except me and my wife. And we reminisced about our friend, who just passed away, who hosted a great 4th of July party last year.

Holding A Grudge And Failing Intentions

Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hoping someone else will die. - Dr. John Demartini

This quote was taken from Demartini’s book I read, and it made me stop and think. For some reason lately, I’ve been feeling very connected to everybody and everything. I see people angry or hostile towards others, and I see them angry or hostile towards themself. Why would I want to feel that way about myself? I don’t, so I don’t. I’ve held grudges in the past, but they felt just like the quote above. If I love all, I love myself, I feel wonderful, I learn my true dreams and my dreams come true. Those antagonizing us are trying to teach. But we forget how to see that as we grow older.

I am on to a new book by Dr. Wayne Dyer, The Power Of Intention. One of the basics of the book is about succeeding with your intentions. There are 6 roadblocks we must overcome, or we have a very difficult time realizing our dreams. They all stem from our Ego and disconnect us from our sacred self:

1. I am what I have. My possessions define me.
2. I am what I do. My achievements define me.
3. I am what others think of me. My reputation defines me.
4. I am separate from everyone. My body defines me as alone.
5. I am separate from all that is missing in my life. My life space is disconnected from my desires.
6. I am separate from God. My life depends on God’s assessment of my worthiness.

I can honestly say, that I have problems with 1 and 2. I know that I know those two are not true, but I do not own it in my soul. They are roadblocks to realizing my intentions. Number 4 I have recently realized and I feel this new connection, or a once lost connection. Anywho, a squirrel is barking at me on the porch here which reminds me it’s time to watch the movie, The Secret. I am in the mood for it.

I Hope you all feel the love…

Intention

Funny, in my last post I mentioned that I was thinking about buying some land up north to build a house and may sell a property to finance it. Well, the next day my tenant left a voicemail saying she was moving out next month. How perfect is that?! I don’t have the money to build a house right now, but I have the desire and intention so the money will appear no doubt. So it is my intention to buy an acre or two of land up in the high desert this year and start building next year. It can be done, it will be done. Our neighborhood has been getting a little noisy lately. A new neighbors alarm is constantly going off at random times in the day. But this is perfect as it helps along our intention. And the desire for less distractions is pushing me along. Plus we’d be near the mountains and trails of the Arizona desert and have a cooler temperature. And it snows there occassionally. Now that I think about it, if I sold both houses I could afford a house there. I’ll have to run the numbers when I get home. Boy, this is exciting!
