"You have no need
to go anywhere -
journey within yourself.
Enter a mine of rubies
and bathe in the splendor
of your own light."
~ Rumi
INSPIRATIONS
Here are some words of inspiration that have meant a lot to us over the
years. Enjoy!
Responsibility
Prayer
"I am responsible for what I see.
I choose the feelings I experience;
And I decide upon the goal
I would achieve.
And everything that seems to happen to me,
I ask for, and receive, as I have asked."
~ A Course In Miracles ~
“Our
Deepest Fear”
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 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 doesn’t 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 all, 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.
~ Marianne Williamson ~
Heroic
Acts
“What we each choose to do
with our psychological life is of
historic import.
When you break or transform
a negative family pattern,
you change history.
When you realize a source
of pain and limitation,
you turn on a light for all who follow.
Take the time, and care,
to understand your family patterns,
or you will repeat them
and be unaware that you are
your father (or mother),
setting up similar injustices and barriers.
Accept the power you have
to contribute to our world.
Your willingness to change
is not merely a personal analytical problem,
it is a heroic step toward freeing others
from the patterns of many generations
before you.”
~ Jennifer James in “Windows” ~
“The
Plain Truth”
The plain truth is this:
love is not a matter of
getting what you want.
Quite the contrary.
The insistence on always
having what you want,
on always being satisfied,
on always being fulfilled,
makes love impossible.
To love you have to
climb out of the cradle,
where everything is getting,
and grow up to the maturity
of giving, without concern for
getting anything special in return.
Love is not a deal,
it is a sacrifice.
It is not marketing,
it is a form of worship.
~ Thomas Merton ~
