Random Positive Thoughts

Peace by Harmony

It has come to me that perhaps the fastest way to PEACE is not by looking for PEACE, that it is LIVING IN HARMONY!! World PEACE is a very overwhelming thing to create. In order to have PEACE in the world, each and every person must first have PEACE within their own heart. If you have one grain of anger, hate, frustration, to name just a few, then you do not have total PEACE within you, and we can not experience World PEACE until EVERYONE has only PEACE within them. 

However, even if we still have some of those issues (anger, hate, frustration, envy, etc.) that I know we are all working at removing from our lives, we can still choose to LIVE IN HARMONY with those around us, and choose to not spend time with those that bring out that other stuff. Even if we spend time with them and do not feel totally loving and peaceful towards them, we can still choose to spend the time together HARMONIOUSLY! (For example: some things my mother says to me, so ways she treats me, hurt me... yet I choose to not fight, to just let it go.... to see it as her issues, and to get along rather than argue.... Harmony. There are so many other ways my 89 year old mom is wonderful, so I can choose to focus on them.)

I believe that if I choose to live in HARMONY with someone I do not know well or understand his or her ways (i.e., perhaps a store clerk of a different color, nationality, religious belief, etc.) then I put out HARMONY vibrations into the world, even though I may not get along with my sister, for example. By practicing HARMONY with all I meet, with all I live near, perhaps one day I can enjoy HARMONY with those I may choose to remove from my life at this time.... and by LIVING A LIFE OF HARMONY, I believe I help to create WORLD PEACE!!

Affirmations

 I recently did a post titled Carfirmations.  I keep my Carfirmations CD in the CD player in my truck and every time I drive anywhere I get to listen to my dear friend Chris Madsen playing music while he shares positive affirmations and quotes, also on the CD there are songs he wrote and is singing. Of  course, they too are positive, spiritual songs.  I am so much enjoying listening to this each time I go anywhere, and it always brightens my day.

 

Be Specific

This is a good example of why people should be more specific.... especially when talking to children!!

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards.

The man, who was a priest, said. " I am a Father."

The little boy replied. "My Daddy doesn't wear his collar like that."

The priest looked up from his book and answered. "I am the Father of many."

The boy said. "My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way!

The priest, getting impatient, said. "I am the Father of hundreds" and went back to reading his book.

The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said. "Maybe you should wear a condom and your pants backwards instead of your collar."

I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
Lily Tomlin

 

For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.

Late Night TV

"Why did God give men nipples if we're not supposed to breast feed our pets?"

I have the TV on and Jimmy Kimmel Live is currently on.  I don't actually watch these shows most times, but it just happens to be on right now and I've been too busy to change channels.  Martin Short is on talking to Jimmy and I love Martin Short... he's so funny!!   The above quote is what Martin said. He also said:

"I have 3 children.... 1 of each."

He and Jimmy are currently wrestling on the floor and Martin poured a glass of water on Jimmy's face.  These guys are nuts... LOL.

Peace Quote

Music is Soothing

I listen to the CBC Radio every time I drive my truck. I find it to be an interesting station with great talk shows and even some good music.  The local stations don't play music that I like, so I got into listening to the CBC and found that most days I enjoy it.  One of the interesting stories I heard on there recently was about a professional musician (I forget now who he was) who had gotten into legal trouble and went to jail for some time.  He is out now, but hasn't forgotten his experience and in some ways has turned this negative into a positive.  I respect anyone that can do that, change a negative into a positive.  Anyway, what he is doing is collecting guitars (Yamaha, Washburn, Gibson, Fender, even Michael Kelly Guitars, brand doesn't matter to him) and sending them into prisons for the inmates to use.  This is a kind and generous thing for him to do, in my opinion.  I think that it will help the inmates to find a good way to channel their excess energies that perhaps got them into trouble in the first place. Whether they know how to play a guitar already, or need to learn this skill, it could be a very positive thing for them.  Also, I believe that music is calming and healing to most of us. 

"Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak."  

William Congreve

Dreaming

As I've told you in previous posts here, I would love to renovate my home, especially the kitchen and the bathroom. I want to make both larger and install more cupboards in both. My towels currently reside on a shelf I put up in the bathroom, right above the toilet. I want to have a much bigger bath tub so I can actually get in and soak without being tied up like a pretzel. I would also consider having one of the pedestal sinks as they look so much nicer than the built in sink/vanity that I currently have. I must say though that the vanity does give some storage space, but I don't like putting stuff there are mice seem to keep getting in there. I've done work to block them from getting in, but there are some places I just can't get to so can't put tin or that spray stuff in. If I got to do the renovations I want to do, I could block all wholes where mice can get in. I'm pretty sure the bathroom is the last place they can get in, I think I've blocked the rest up.

At this time, renovations are, for me, just a dream.... and as Carl Sandburg said, "Nothing happens unless first a dream..."

Quotes

Lots of people like to quote things to everyone they talk to. Some quote stock market stuff, some are into quoting all the bad things that can happen if you do this or that. Some folks are into term life quoting, while others are quoting costs of rules or other such boring things. I personally like positive, uplifting quotes whether made by famous people or just 'Joe Schmoe types'. For example:

All of life is a journey; which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there. From A Little Book of Happiness

If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared upon your face or a touch of joy wtihin your heart, then in living I have made my mark. Thomas L. Odem Jr.

When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky. Buddha

Light Mail

Daily Inspiration: Although some marriages are made in heaven, they ALL have to be maintained on earth. ~Unknown

Today’s Affirmation: I remember the love today where it matters; in me.

Today's Spiritual Contemplation: There is only one bit of work absolutely essential to a lasting marriage. Remember the love! Most marriages die because the trivia of our daily dramas becomes more important to us than our real work; being a living witness to the love that brought us together and actively communicating from that love.

Daily Inspiration: It's not what you look at that matters it's what you see. ~Henry David Thoreau

Today’s Affirmation: I see only the nectar of love illuminating all the forms of the universe.

Today's Spiritual Contemplation: For many years now society has appreciated the incredible photos from the Hubble Space Telescope; these photos are adjusted into a visible light spectrum. For generations we have been treated to Kirlian photography showing the light emitted by living organisms. Is it really such a stretch to imagine that all we look upon emanates such a light? And is it really such a stretch to imagine being able to see it with the naked eye? This light of love is all around and visible when we choose to see it.

Daily Inspiration: You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own. ~Unknown

Today’s Affirmation: Now and always I live from my clear source connection.

Today's Spiritual Contemplation: Through inner practices; reading contemplation, meditation, spiritual communion we keep the inner fires burning hot. Sometimes I find it especially necessary to go deep, stir up the coals and burn off some deep and lingering feelings of darkness in order to show up for certain ‘difficult’ people. Before bringing peace to another I must start with myself - always.
