“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

The Greatest Accomplishment

Be
Copyright 2005 by R.A. Robbins
For the last few years I have noticed words showing up in my life to give me direction. Last year it was the word “rest.” The need for rest kept showing up over and over as I struggled to heed them rather than push through to the point of complete exhaustion.
This year the word that keeps showing up over and over is “be” — as opposed to “do.” Brought up to believe we change the world by doing I am now learning that we really change the world by being.
So join me this month as we explore this little word, so packed full of meaning —
BE.

We are all equally capable of Spiritual Awakening
“We are all equally capable of spiritual awakening. It may not seem that way, at times. Some of us are so caught up in the drama of our day-to-day existence that we have lost track of who we really are. But eventually, all of us will make the discovery of our true nature.”
– Victor Shamas
This week’s Wednesday Update at https://www.facebook.com/espirational/ is now online. The topic for this week is Where do we go from here? Please take a few minutes to check it out and tell your friends.
for peace of mind…
For peace of mind,
resign as general manager of the Universe. –
– Larry Eisenberg
I like this quote. Yes, it is a little funny, but it is also so true. We live in a world where everyone knows everything, wants to be change and of course speak their mind online and off.
During this difficult time, I hope you have come to realize that you are not the General Manager of the Universe. Unless you work in an essential industry right now there may not be anything you can do about the current crises but stay home. And that is important. By staying home you are doing your part to stop the spread of the virus.
After a storm did major damage to the neighborhood where we live, Bob and I felt so helpless. We wanted to help. We were trained to help. It took us a while but we finally had to realize the best thing we could do was stay out of the way and take care of ourselves. Doing that helped the workers be able to clear the roads, restore power and get help to those who needed it.
So if you are working, as usual, bless your heart. We all do appreciate the medical, retail, delivery and other workers who are working so hard taking care of us during this difficult time. If you are at home, take care of yourself and your family. You are doing your part as well.

“Change is always tough.
Even for those who see themselves as agents of change,
the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation,
uncertainty
and insecurity.”

Simplicity doesn’t change who you are…
“Getting rid of everything that doesn’t matter allows you to remember who you are. Simplicity doesn’t change who you are, it brings you back to who you are.” —Courtney Carver
*Overestimating the pleasure of more stuff
People overestimate the pleasure they’ll get from having more stuff.
This does not apply to new rose bushes, crayons, or yarn stashes.
~Dr. SunWolf,
If you live for having it all…
If you live for having it all,
what you have is never enough.
