Fun.

If it's not fun why do it?

~Ben & Jerry's brand motto

Fun.
It's time to infuse some fun…period!  You work hard but you also need to enjoy life.  When you only work to live you are actually doing just the opposite, you are working to survive and that's not what you are supposed to be doing.  Working is a part of life BUT 1.) if you love what you do it doesn't feel like work and 2.) if you take time to play then you will certainly enjoy your days more.  So find something that brings you joy, that makes you smile and go have some real fun for once!  

Evening Quiet

Quiet the mind, and the soul will speak. 

~Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

Evening Quiet
Every evening there is a space after you get home from work, or put the kids to bed or just collapse on the couch that there is a quiet and a stillness that surrounds you.  Normally we quickly fill that silence with turning on the TV, getting lost on the internet or calling someone to chat.  The next time you go to do that though, stop for a moment and let yourself feel the quiet and stillness.  Take a few breaths and relax into the moment.  Let your mind, body and soul decompress from going a hundred miles a minute.  You owe it to yourself to go into that sacred place of stillness only for yourself.  This is where you will recharge your batteries, get centered and feel connected to yourself.  Don't let a day go by where you are to busy to stop and enjoy the miracle of stillness in your life.

Our Greatest Fear

Our Greatest Fear

by Marianne Williamson

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 does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.

We were 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.

-----------------

If we all just got out of our own way, we would be unstoppable!  It's our fear that holds us back, plain and simple.  Take away the fear and you take away any self doubt with it.  It's time we all stop concentrating on why we can't do something and instead say why not me!  ~Mary
