Loving Discipline

I am basking in the satisfaction of having completed my income tax filing this weekend. I am feeling quite organized and accomplished in my financial life having completed this task well in advance of the deadline. In my glow of triumph, I was sitting and thinking about how wonderful the fruits of discipline actually are.

Our Daily Bread

The art of life is to live in the present moment, and to make that moment as perfect as we can by the realization that we are the instruments and expression of God Himself.
- Ernest Holmes

The Lord’s prayer says give us this day our daily bread. What is this daily bread and what is the nature of how we receive this bread?

Financial Security??

Are you seeking or have you achieved financial security? What do the words mean to you? Do you know someone who is financially secure?

In truth these words are probably one of the biggest fabrications that has been used to brainwash us. Financial security is not a real thing. Security cannot come from or be based on financial things. Money is energy and therefore has an impetus to flow, transform and change. If we are looking to money (or any external thing) for security, we will always be left wanting.

Loving Work

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Why do you do the work that you do? Is it for the money? Do you love what you do? Please give this question some serious consideration and answer honestly, because you must understand that the answer is critically important to your experience of wealth. Love is not something that comes to us from outside ourselves. Love is an internal orientation to the world, a posture from which we have gratitude and appreciation for the details of our life.
