7151. The past
is an advisor not a determinant;
7152. Fear and
pain tend to be linked to joy, passion and love. You can’t have fear without love. Fear exists because something is threatening
something you love. That love could be
being alive, being warm or the love you feel for another person. And pain?
Pain tends to equal growth;
7153. When our
pain or fear is at its peak, at its most intolerable stage, we’re just seconds
to minutes away from bliss, calm and peace;
7154. You have
to learn with the pain and fear instead of trying to make it go away;
7155. Pain is
mandatory; suffering is optional;
7156. In that
moment when you think you can’t possibly keep going, that’s the edge. The willingness to stand on that edge without
backing away is what dictates your experience, your growth;
7157. You are
capable of far more than you think you are.
So are all humans;
7158. The 40%
rule: When you think you’re done, when you think you’re completely spent and
you’ve given everything you have to give, anytime you have this feeling, you’re
only 40% of the way there;
7159. The 60%
rule: When we think we’re done, we actually have 60% left to give;
7160. It’s the
willingness to leap into the fear and become one with the pain that allows us
to experience the best versions of ourselves;
7161. Take care
of the downside and the upside will take care of itself;
7162. Lauryn
Ricketts (the meteorologist for NBC4 Washington) hangs out at the Fish Market
in (Old Town) Alexandria;
7163. Lauryn
Ricketts is a DC101 fan . . . and a Nintendo fan (too);
7164.
Apparently, Lauryn Ricketts teaches a barre class in Arlington;
7165. No amount
of security is worth the suffering of a mediocre life chained to a routine that
has killed your dreams;
7166. Send love
in place of judgments and criticisms to others when you feel they impede your
joy and happiness and hold them in that place of love. Notice that if you stay steadfast, when you
change the way you look at things, the things you look at do change;
7167. Rather
than asking that the outcome of our prayers come to pass, we acknowledge
our role as an active part of creation and give thanks for what we are certain
that we have created. Whether we see
immediate results or not, our thanks acknowledge that somewhere in creation our
prayer has already been fulfilled;
7168. The
moment you accept the wish as an accomplished fact, the subconscious finds
means for its realization. To pray
successfully then you must yield to the wish, that is, feel the wish fulfilled;
7169. Being a
piece of God, and therefore altogether God as a part of the entire process of
creation, you become an active participant in your own private prayerful
moments;
7170. There is
no possible way of attaining a quality or a desired attribute without claiming
it;
7171. The
undesirable moves out and the “I am presence” moves in; and you find
that you have truly entered into a new world, filled with the happiness and
perfection you have always known existed somewhere within your own heart;
7172. Financial
freedom doesn’t mean you’ll always be happy.
It means, however, that you can be present for all of it, for those you
love, for what’s really happening in the moment, for the good, for the bad, for
the joy and the sorrow and everything in between. When you have financial freedom, you can
really be there for all of it. You have
the freedom to be truly present. And that’s
a precious gift;
7173. Abundance
is not about collecting stuff. It’s
about having the freedom to be more present in life . . . for all of it . . .
for the whole “beautiful catastrophe;”
7174. It’s not
who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not;
7175. Elizabeth
doesn’t like mustard except in potato salad . . . and deviled eggs;
7176. Filomena
Ristorante (Filomena.com) in Georgetown sells the largest éclairs known to man;
7177. During
Christmas time, you can get eggnog as your “milk” at Starbucks;
7178. Craig
Ferguson is funny, but dirty;
7179. Craig
Ferguson hates (Queen’s) “We Are the Champions;”
7180. Love is
not cruel; we are cruel. Love is not a
game; we have made a game out of love;
7181. Pork
chops and apple sauce . . . apparently, it’s a thing;
7182.
Apparently, Elizabeth likes (receiving) oral;
7183. I can say
(that) I’ve had/tried a turducken;
7184. There’s a
secret bar/speakeasy in the back of Capo Deli (CapoDC.com) in D.C. . . . Who
knew?
7185.
Apparently, visiting NFL players will (sometimes) eat at Sweet Fire
Donna's in (Old Town) Alexandria (the day before playing the Washington
Redskins);
7186. I am not
really attached to you at all. I am
merely deluding myself into the belief that without you I will not be
happy. I leave you free to be yourself,
to think your thoughts, indulge your tastes, follow your inclinations and
behave in ways that you decide are to your liking;
7187. There are
no justified resentments;
7188. You must
send blame out of your life for any conditions of your life;
7189. Eat a
live frog every morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the
day . . . in other words, if you get your most difficult task out of the way
first, the worst part of your day will be over;
7190. In the
U.S., the tax law requires each business deduction to meet three requirements:
1. Must have a business purpose; 2. The expense must be ordinary; and 3. The expense must be necessary;
7191. The
fastest way to put money in your pocket is to reduce your taxes. By reducing your taxes, you immediately
reduce how much money comes out of your paycheck;
7192.
Everything you do either increases or lowers your taxes. All you have to do is learn the difference between
bad, good and better income and then learn how to turn your expenses into tax
deductions;
7193. What
you’re feeling is a function of how you’re thinking, what you’re contemplating
and how your inner speech is being formulated;
7194. How
others treat you has a lot to do with how you treat yourself and thereby teach
others to treat you;
7195. When
anyone criticizes, judges, acts angry, expresses hatred or finds fault with
you, they’re not at peace with themselves.
Want this peace for them even more than you desire it for yourself. By having this kind of intention for them,
you take the focus off of you. This
doesn’t require words or actions on your part.
Simply picture the people in your family with whom you’re not at peace
and feel the peace you crave for them.
Your inner speech will change and you’ll begin to experience the
peaceful authenticity of both your beings;
7196. If peace
is missing in your relationships with your family, it means that you have a
place within you that’s occupied by non-peace.
It may be filled with anxiety, fear, anger, depression, guilt or any
low-energy emotions. Rather than
attempting to rid yourself of these feelings all at once, treat them the same
as you do your relatives. Say a friendly
“hello” to the non-peace and let it be.
You’re sending a peaceful feeling to the non-peaceful feeling. The lower energies you’re experiencing will
be strengthened by your peaceful “hi” or “hello” and eventually vanish as the
divine grows within you. The way to this
peace is through any form of quiet and meditation that works for you. Even if it’s only a two-minute respite during
which time you’re silent, concentrate on the name of the divine or repeat that
sound of “aaahh” as an inner mantra;
7197. When you
think about what you resent, you act upon what you think about while
simultaneously attracting more of it to you;
7198. See the
light in others and treat them as if that is all you see;
7199. Do you
want peace? Forgiveness offers it;
7200. You can
never remedy a bad relationship by condemning it;
