My job is to find out what satisfies my soul

If I do what satisfies my soul – whether I make money at it or not – then my life is filled with joy. When my soul feels satisfied, other streams of joy and income start coming in as if from nowhere. Or I might start making money doing what satisfies my soul. But the feeling satisfied part has to come first. My job is to find out what satisfies my soul. All else will follow.

Am I a funnel or am I a cup?

Sometimes I have a hard time realizing when I’m the funnel and when I’m the cup. I used to be concerned my cup was always leaking, then I realized I was a funnel. And a pretty good one. Everything comes, everything goes, and everything comes again 🙂 When I see it that way, I can experience it as a never ending flow of goodness, that I can enjoy as it passes through.

When you’re doing all the “right” things and still get hit by karma, that’s past momentum

A friend writes: “What about the issue of karma/karmic debts that we have to repay in our lifetime? Sometimes I honestly feel that “bad” or seemingly unjust things occur regardless of all the positive vibrational energy we send out into the universe.” Good question. When you’re in a good place and doing all the “right” things and still get hit by a karmic backlash, that’s simply past momentum coming back around.

Some folks see dastardly doings in the making no matter what they look at

It’s all about perception.  An elderly neighbor called me this morning: “A big, black man just went into your garage. He knocked on my door and I didn’t open it.”

Accept what is as if you had chosen it

Accept what is as if you had chosen it, and avoid creating stories and hypothetical outcomes that don’t exist. You will avoid a lot of anxiety and stress if you simply accept what is happening and concentrate the mind in the present moment, without thinking about what could potentially happen as a result of this problem. The future doesn’t exist. Only now exists. The problem isn’t the problem. Your thoughts, attitudes, and emotions towards the problem is where the self-induced suffering will occur.

Being content right now attracts the best possible future

Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing – this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that’s what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attract-ive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu
