I Love My Whole House!!! (Jessica's Daily Affirmation)

We can take a lesson from this little dynamo. Take time each day to remind yourself of what you love in life. Many blessings and always feel good.

Jumpstart Your Day With Positive Thoughts

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. Here is a quick video to jump start your day. Every day is yours to create. Take control of your life from the minute you open your eyes in the morning. Don't let negativity contaminate your mind with doubts. May your thoughts, and in turn your existence, be filled with nothing but love, peace, and happiness. Have a great day, and many blessings!

Self Ideal vs. Self Image

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. I came across this video while searching for motivational tools for people in network marketing. Brian Tracy is an excellent motivational speaker. He specializes in talking about sales and marketing but his words can be used by all.

Enjoy this short video. Tracy does a great job of explaining the difference between our Self Ideal and our Self Image. I encourage you to try some of the tools and exercises that other successful people are using.

Remember that success isn't necessarily measured by all the toys you accumulate, but by knowing you did the best you could in every situation. Have a great day and thanks for listening. Blessings!

Believe In Yourself

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. Here's a short video with some great quotes to keep you motivated. Belief in oneself is all that is needed for success. Too many times we listen to our friends and family when they say we can't do something. We look at the current state of the economy and get frustrated. We become paralyzed by all that is happening around us.

Believe in yourself. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks of you. Your opinion is the only one that matters. It is your life and you should be the one that determines your successes and failures.

If you're going to fail make sure it's on your terms. Let failure come as a result of trying. Don't let failure come as a result of doing nothing. Failing as a result of doing makes you stronger. Makes you wiser. Learn from your mistakes. Capitalize on the fact that you've been there, done that, and next time you're going to do it better.

Focus on everything positive about your dreams. Let no person steer your wrong in your quest. Your life is yours. Your dreams are yours. When the time comes, let the Universe use you, your dreams, and talents you have been blessed with for the higher good of all.

This is what strengthens the whole. This is what brings about peace and harmony. If we would just believe in ourselves and use our talents for the benefit of others, life would flow so much easier. Enjoy the video, and remember that you are an amazing being with an infinite amount of potential. Use this potential to make the world around you a better place. Have a great day, and thanks for listening. Blessings!

The Secret vs. A New Earth - Well...Who's Right?

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. I came across a nice blog created by Scott B. called Keeping The Secret last night as I as researching new widgets for my blogs(Great service by the way. You can see some of my new ones on the side panel). We share similar interests. He even has a "quotes" section.

Scott invited viewers to comment on a question he received in an email. It has to do with comparing the teachings of "The Secret" in relation to Eckhart Tolle's book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61). This was the question and my response.

I am reading Tolle’s book A New Earth, and have read The Secret and all the Abraham books by Esther and Jerry Hicks. I have even read part of a Seth book by Jane Roberts! What I want to know is: is the secret compatible with the teachings of Tolle. He speaks of”wanting” as a manifestation of the ego which is an illusion. The secret says that wanting is the whole purpose of life, desiring and manifesting more and more. I know the secret does not mean “wanting” in the sense of feeling lack so maybe the 2 are compatible. Would be grateful for any feedback from you or other members.

Thanks, Jane

This was my response:

Hi Jane,

I’ve been reading the Tolle book and what I believe he is saying is generally the same principles mentioned in the “The Secret” and Esther and Jerry Hicks are saying.

Tolle cautions us to be aware as to why we are wanting the good things in life. There is nothing wrong with wanting things, but when those possessions become our identity, the problems with ego start to arise.

For example, Tolle mentions the Rolling Stones song, “I can’t get no…Satisfaction.” He says this is the theme song of the ego. The ego needs an identity, whatever it is. For some people, it’s having expensive toys. Like Tolle says, there is nothing wrong with these toys, but when we start to “need” these toys to validate our worth, it can lead to problems.

What happens, is once we reach our goal, the ego will say, “I need more.” “This is not enough.” Mr. and Mrs. Jones still have more than “I” do.” So the ego seeks out more things in order to match up with the Jones’. Or even worse yet, what we think the Jones’ think we should be. How insane is that? Tolle mentions that if when you get what you are wanting and you have a feeling of not enough, then that want was driven by ego.

Tolle also talks about the “I” that the ego identifies with and the true “I” that is in all of us. The ego’s sense of “I” is the cars that we drive. The house that we live in. The friends that we have. These are the things that satisfy the ego for a time. But it always needs more. This is not your true “I”.

The true “I” is the one that is present. That is to say, living in the “Now”. Tolle makes a point of saying that the past doesn’t exist. Nor does the future. All there ever is…is right NOW(Read “The Power Of Now” if you haven’t yet). Even when you are thinking of a future event, when it does take place it happens…now. So there’s no point on stressing about past or future events.

The ego always draw its’ opinions and actions from past events and future anxieties. Once we decide to do away with the ego and start living from moment to moment, things will start to come us easily and for he right reasons.

Instead of wanting a lot of money in order to appear to have status in the eyes of your “friends”, use the money to make a difference in society. If you make it your intention to have a lot of money to be able to give, the Universe will start to give you more money to be able to give with. Just remember there are plenty of other ways to be a giver even if you don’t have the money yet. Start now by being thankful for what you already have, and the Universe will give you more to be thankful for.

I am thankful for blogs like “Keeping The Secret” which are bringing awareness to the masses. I was encouraged to see the response to this book and to the Tolle Webinar. It shows that the level of consciousness is growing. In times such as these, it is definitely needed. Many blessings on your journey, Jane. Make it a fun one.

Let me know what you think. Also please leave comments about this question at Keeping The Secret. I'm sure Scott would appreciate it.

Here are two videos for you to watch. The first video is the first 20 minutes of the movie "The Secret". The second video is the first 10 minutes of the Webinar Tolle is holding with Oprah. It looks like there are 11 parts to this series. You can watch all 11 clips or simply go to oprah.com for the full version.

Many blessings and thanks for listening.

The Importance Of Family

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. I don't have a quote today. Instead I would like to share this youtube video that I saw the other day. It has become very popular.

This is the most amazing display of a family bond. All of us should take a lesson from this video. We need to appreciate the family that we do have. If you don't have any family, appreciate the friends that you have.

Cherish their company. Compliment them. Treat them as you would want to be treated. Our existence in these mortals bodies are short. Don't waste it quarreling over issues that aren't important. Enjoy the video.
