+RELEASE

As inherent creators, we set infinite masterpieces in motion. Relationships, careers, social endeavors, academic pursuits, these are the  creative works of our lives. Many we construct to please ourselves, some are meant to serve the satisfaction of others. Whatever their intention, these situations take on a life all their own. By human nature we attempt to micromanage their development only to be consumed by worry and anxiety.

 Too often we lose site of our original positive intention and focus our attention upon the negative possibilities. What we must remember is that our intention in the creative process is paramount. Each of these intentions is like a seed. Within it is all the makings of the intended result. When a specific seed is planted there is no doubt about what it will grow to be. A juniper seed will yield a juniper tree. As long as the sun, soil and rain are present to nurture it, the tree will grow. The same rings true with the seeds of our intentions. They contain all the makings of success whatever the endeavor. So long as appreciation, positive expectation, and faith are present to provide nourishment, it will be so.

Releasing doubt and fear can be incredibly difficult but is the only means to allow success. We must remind ourselves that the best is bound to happen unless we prevent it by expecting the worst. Today, know that all you pursue is assured success. Appreciate that fact, expect the best of everything and allow it to be so. Release yourself from doubt and indulge in the freedom that faith provides. Just remember, success is inevitable!

+SYCHRONICITY

+SYNCHRONICITY

As life has many paths, the twists and turns are even more numerous and often unexpected and unexplained. Enveloped in the emotions of the moment, we clamber for explanations and reasons, only to come up empty handed. In hindsight, we find a divine synchronicity of sorts that has produced welcome results.

Often as one path becomes unbearable another of an improved quality presents itself. Sometimes as these new options are revealed we feel discomfort in releasing attachment and straying from our known path even though it may have become detrimental to us. It can be difficult to identify new options and paths as the ones we seek, but what must be realized is that although these paths may not be the main roads we've planned to travel they often serve as on ramps, if you will to connect us to our desired routes.

There are many forces at work within and all around us at all times. The divine orchestration of experiences and circumstances is in many ways beyond human comprehension. We must establish a healthy appreciation of ourselves to enable us to expect success and fruition from what is yet to come. As this trust is strengthened we find ourselves poised knowing success is ours and keenly aware as the great mystery orchestrates the synchronizations that provide us our means to prosperity. All that we experience is of our own creation and the adherent opportunities are not merely presented by chance. Everything has both a reason and a season for being, it can be no other way. Recognize and appreciate the tremendous potential before you and take joy in the creation of your journey. Life is all about the experience of that journey, the destinations are only rest stops.

+PERSPECTIVE

+PERSPECTIVE

All experience is a matter of perspective. We all live and operate within set parameters every day, yet we all end up with contrasting individual experiences. though we each operate with an overall perspective, there is a dynamic sub-perspective, if you will, that exists in each moment as choices present themselves. These are the factors that determine the quality of our experience.

Many times we've heard the question asked, "is the glass half full or half empty?". There is a level of faith and optimism in the answer we express that says everything about the expectations generated from our perspective. Perspective in itself is a matter of choice. There is nothing that designates us to a particular perspective. We have an ability to revolutionize the quality of our lives simply by choosing an improved point of vantage.

This shift in perspective is comprised of a rearrangement of values, expectations and degrees of appreciation. These three things formulate our approach to life. What values have we built your character upon? Accountability, diligence, faith? What do we expect of and for yourself? Success, fulfillment, prosperity? What do we appreciate about ourselves here and now? Opportunity, potential, capability?

Our responses to these questions indicate what we are allowing ourselves to receive. It is up to us to determine the quality of our perspective by virtue of these three things. That which we seek is complete and waiting for us to catch up to speed. If we aren't able to see it, complaining and forfeiting are not solutions and perhaps a new perspective is in order. Try observing and living your day from the perspective of who you admire most, you'll find every reason for appreciation.

+FLOW

+FLOW

The supreme catalyst. The life giver. The purest of all actions. Existence. Without flow there is no means for dynamic, without dynamic how can there be life? What is experience without dynamic to create contrast? What is life without experience to create consciousness? Flow is the most fundamental action, the movement and transmutation of energy from potential to kinetic. At the root of all complex workings of life, there is a fundamental flow of well being. This wellspring is the original prayer, original intent.

All life extends from this primary stream of vitality. Some of us call it God, Tirawahat, Diiyin, Creator, divine spirit. Whatever the moniker, we are each the embodiment of this pure divine spirit and its inherent flow of well being. In the instances when we experience negativity, disease or adversity, it is because we are somehow holding ourselves in resistance to this flow. When we feel doubt, fear, worry or anything less than absolute faith in success and prosperity, we are resisting. This divine flow is what sparks our ambitions, fuels our passions and inspires us to our greatest achievements.

Throughout our days we've heard that we are our own worst enemy. This is never more true than in our relationship with this flow. Our egos are the source of all fears, doubts and every other form of resistance. It is a matter of fact that our ego's need for self importance is our greatest obstacle to prosperity. One of the greatest strengths that we can know is humility. Humility tames the ego and allows for the affluence of every quality of divine spirit in our lives.

Does it not sound fulfilling to be as vital and opulent as divine spirit? If I were to tell you that this is so, and always has been, would you believe me? This is the ultimate truth and it only requires your faith. Will you allow it to flow and be or will you hold yourself against the current of all that is good? I implore you to take some time and reflect upon how you've been allowing or disallowing this flow of well being through your experience. Know that your thoughts are absolute power and that more than any action, they determine your every success and failure. Allowance is the supreme act of faith. Faith is the clear knowledge of true self as divine spirit. As such, what is there for God, Tirawahat, Diiyin, Creator, your true self to question? Know self and come correct, greatness is, and has been waiting for you!

+EXAMPLE

+EXAMPLE

Experience is the best teacher, we all know this to be undeniably so. Of all the lessons learned those that were ingrained the deepest within us have often been those learned the hard way, through experience. Just as young people have many questions about the road ahead, as adults, we often have both regrets and wisdom from the road behind. As we become parents, leaders, teachers and caregivers, we form intentions and expectations for those who are the focus of our compassion. We often direct them to "do as we say, not as we do" knowing also that we should "lead by example". These two statements become somewhat paradoxical and confusing as they seem to contradict one another, yet they are equally important. Youth are quick to hold us accountable for our past actions and short comings and sometimes even quicker to make an excuse of the example we've set forth. The key factor missing in their comprehension is presence. Focusing on the example demonstrated in the moment. This present example is infinitely dynamic, always evolving, transforming and improving. Although it is a culmination of the flaws and successes alike, it is not defined only by one or the other.

A good way to comprehend this concept would be a reference to sculpture. In a sculptor's studio you'll find stone monoliths of all shapes and sizes, of differing degrees of completion. Some just solid untouched slabs of stone, others elegant and graceful depictions of humanity. As adults, our life is like the half finished masterpiece, formed and made permanent by experience. Some strokes of the chisel having been not as precise as others yet the flaws being compensated in subsequent strokes. A youth's life is equated to the untouched slab of stone, yet to be formed by the chisel of life's experience. A fresh and golden opportunity for greater perfection. A new journey where the pitfalls of the predecessors can be avoided and more outstanding accomplishments can be achieved. Our example should serve as a reference point upon which our followers can improve.

We all must understand that an example is not meant to be replicated, it is merely a foundation from which to improve upon and strive for greater things. Let us not only strive to be an example to others but to ourselves as well. Let us expect the same of ourselves as we expect of our children, students and proteges. If we expect success and wellness for them, let us be the embodiment of those exact qualities. If we expect them to earn degrees and climb mountains, let us stand proud at those summits as well. Let us move to evolve and improve our standing in each moment and be appreciative as those we lead follow suit.
