Enthusiasm

PL lesson for yesterday was – Act with Enthusiasm – it was something I just couldn’t get enthusiastic about, until I read further, “If you put your whole heart into whatever you do, you will be able to appreciate any task at hand.”
Hmmm – yup I could do that, my objective for the day was to do as little as possible, In the afternoon I actually took a lie down, not to sleep, but to do nothing..
I did doze, but with no telly, no phone,no PC, no radio, I soon drifted into what my mother used to call “daydreaming”
It was nice.
It was rewarding, it was calming and peaceful.
My body rested, and best of all my mind had a holiday away from news,weather and sports. If you get my drift.
My lesson yesterday. enthusiasm = being in the moment and doing it whole-heartedly =^_^=

LOL – I looked at today’s lesson, ‘Just be Yourself” that’s me…. easy peasy. What are your plans for today? Are you making time for yourself during this busy time of the year? LIFE IS ART.

Courage

Have the courage to take the first step.

Sometimes the world seems lonely and we feel a void. To some the world lacks sunshine, not just on occasion but often enough that they forget the days of warmth and sunshine, when life was full and happy. There are days when just getting up out of bed is an effort. We’ve all felt that emptiness that begs to be filled. Some find relief in a relationship, others dive headlong into work and stay buried there. The void may be filled for awhile, but friends come and go, jobs change, that craving/desire for the special “something” returns, often with an even stronger feeling of “need”

In PL (Perfect Liberty) we live a prayerful life, The goal is to live with God all day, everyday, morning prayer and evening prayer at home, meal prayers, before and after. To be thankful, appreciative,and accepting of God/Universe in us and in our daily lives. PL Guides us to work towards our goals. We all of concerns that cannot be resolved easily. PL has a unique way of responding to problems in our daily lives. Through consultations given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation

You have to have the courage to take the first step. If you are timid, you will never be able to break free and start something new. BELIEVE in yourSELF and take that first step.

God is the power,source and law of the Universe. Everything that happens in this world is God’s Act. in PL we call God, Mioyaookami.

Money and “things”

This is one of the seasons where it seems a lot of money is either being spent, or credit is being used. We all know that when we use credit, the debt is one more thing added to the financial stress we carry most of the year. Many do it anyway. It is very hard to resist all the marketing and highly paid for advertisements that bombard us from all directions. If you live in an urban area, and visit any shopping center or mall, you are blinded by colourful lights and beckoning elves and snowmen. I must get a zillion sale notices starting in November about just what I need added to my already cluttered life if I am to enjoy a good “Christmas”

The truth is, we don’t need anything from a retail store to make us happy. Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness that is acquired through a purchase soon losses its luster and appeal. That electronic must have soon is replaced by something fancier and more sophisticated. The dress or outfit once worn a few times is no longer to be seen in.

The Value of Money and Things Depends on How you Choose to Use Them. (PL teaching) Money and things are materials for your self-expression. Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society. (Church of Perfect Liberty)

World Peace starts from Peace at Home and in Our Hearts. Inner Peace is the greatest gift of all.

Have a wonderful day everyone, be happy.

Blessings, Oyashikiri

Vulnerabilities

A warrior takes every person as an adversary
He/she sees all their vulnerable points.
And trains to eliminate his/her own
Only the way of the sage eliminates all weaknesses.
The sage goes beyond concepts of protection,competition,honour and righteousness, and has no fear of death

The sage knows life is merely an illusion.
Life is but one dream flowing into another. Tao –Deng Ming-Dao

A healthy mind is clear and uncluttered, always opened to the heavens/UNIVERSE

Whatever the optimal time of the day for you, set aside time to cultivate your connection/ bond with God/Tao.

Prayer

Give your best effort with a prayerful Mind.

God Resides in a prayerful mind. The Universe responds to sincerity (Makoto)

Believe that even if you don’t have what you think you need, you WILL find a way! If you are fixated on “what you don’t have” you will not be blessed with wisdom and a way to solve your problems. Think creatively to get past any obstacles in your way.

mushrooms & greens

Wind chill factor of -24 degrees, time to burrow in with a hot bowl of veggies and mushrooms. Nothing too fancy, just something hot and steamy to warm up the insides. Later I can have some rice and Chinese sausage (steam cooked on the rice while it is cooking).

Notice that I finally succeeded in getting my mushrooms to brown just like they do in those cooking shows. I was pumped about that. The greens are called broccoli, but it goes by another name of rappini. This batch I found the stems to be a little chewy, otherwise they were delicious tasting.

Today’s temperature this morning was -11 not counting the chill factor.

Mushrooms are a spore producing a fungal growth that many of us are very fond of in our food. At one time some of the mushrooms now commonly found in Asian grocery stores could only be had by purchasing them in dried form. Bringing them home and soaking them prior to preparing them in a meal. Now we can obtain some of the fresh, interestingly I find them not as appealing fresh, they lack the taste I’ve grown accustomed to.

Life .. is like that… we get used to something, and when there is a change, sometimes for the better, the adjustment on our part is not an easy transition. What is important is that we make the effort and give it a try

Today’s PL lesson >> Don’t let yourself think “it’s too hard…Just give it a try..

Reach for the heavens

Strive and pray for World Peace.
Live with World Peace in your heart.
Everybody has different ways of thinking and seeing the world. — the most common mistake we can make in worship, is to seek an experience, rather than seek God.

You have to be consistent, have faith and live
with “peace” in your heart.
Love begins within. God is love. Love = God

Happy Happy Friday

Haooy Happy Friday

How you doing?
Has the snow decided to stay around?
The sunshine is so brilliant today, that any snow left in the tree you see in the picture is crusted from the below zero temperatures and sitting like pretty crystals on the branches.
Every day is a new experience.
Every day brings new joys to discover and appreciate.

Relax and express yourself freely without hesitation.
Be Yourself
This will allow you to live your life to the fullest.
