YOGI WISDOM


Do you ever wonder why we sometimes choose the path that doesn't quite fit? 


"You've got to be very careful, if you don't know where you are going - because you might not get there."

Yogi Berra (1925-2015)

It takes time for intuition. But when she appears, she makes anything possible. Intuition allows us to know what is possible and where obstacles lie. Move in rhythm with intuition and life will unfold to your favor.

BE YOUR OWN WISDOM


"The men of experiment are like the ant, they only collect and use; the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of their own substance. 

But the bee takes the middle course: it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own."

Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

"Knowledge is merely brilliance in the organization of ideas. It is not true wisdom. The truly wise go beyond knowledge."

Confucius (551-479 BC)


Be like the bee - be your own wisdom.

EASIER SAID THAN DONE

Okay, so we all know what we are supposed to do if we want to be happy. Thinking good thoughts, right? The law of attraction, like attracts like, what goes around comes around, and all the rest of those sayings. But it's hard - it's hard to always stay in the positive, so you will always receive the positive. 

Some rude or angry person blindsides you, you stub your big toe, or spill your coffee down your shirt. Ahh!! But how about this? Every time something makes you so frustrated, ask yourself:

Does this really matter? Will it matter next week or next month? ... Probably not. 

Most likely we over-react in anger or frustration because we have bigger issues lurking in our lives. Problem children or relationships, work stress, someone we love who is ill... But, there is a saying:

If everyone piled their troubles into a heap and could choose among them - we would probably take our own back. 

Life is about how we face challenges. After all, we are all learning as we go. Me? I try to maintain a perspective, and laugh through both the good and the bad. It's hard yes, but not impossible. The yogis say breathe - slowly and loudly so you can hear your rhythm. I will add, give Nature a visit. In person if you can. But for when you can't, here is a little bit She shared with me.

SO WITHIN SO WITHOUT

"Concentrated thought is concentrated energy"

Charles Haanel (1866-1949)


What is it that you concentrate on the most? 

With the deepest emotion? 

Does it make you feel good?

Or does it make you feel bad? 
Only you can change your world.

Change your thought and you change your experience.

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
