As I began to love Myself ~ Charlie Chaplin

As I began to love Myself ~ Charlie Chaplin

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.

Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody.

As I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me.

Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.

Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment.

So I could be calm.

Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.

Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm.

Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself.

At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.

Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time.

Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future.

Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING is happening.

Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick.

But As I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally.

Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others.

Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.

Today I know THAT IS “LIFE”!

How to Lead a More Meaningful Life ~ Dr Wayne Dyer

How To Lead A More Meaningful Life ~ Dr Wayne Dyer

The direction we take in life is far more significant than the place ego parks us, in the present moment.

For example, inquiring about what direction we’re headed is more valuable than focusing on how much we weigh or when we had our last cigarette.

Making a commitment to change a self-sabotaging way of life is making a commitment to change direction, and then we head toward weight loss or addiction control.

Heading toward something more purposeful and meaningful is even more significant.

Changing Life Direction If we persistently listen to the demands of the ego, we move away from our Source of being.

The ego insists on pursuing more: more stuff, accomplishments, status, triumphs, and money.

More is the mantra of the ego, fuelling endless striving with a false promise of eventually arriving.

However, every assured arrival point is seductively transformed to a desire to strive for even more, unless we choose to make a shift in the direction our life is taking.

The shift begins in the process of halting the momentum and self-importance of the ego.

Then we must proceed with the work of derailing and rerouting it in the opposite direction.

This doesn’t mean we lose our drive; rather, it signifies that our drive is realigned with a life based on experiencing Meaning and feeling purposeful.

Ambition will now be fuelled by our Source of being, rather than by ego.

Heading back to our natural Source puts us on track to a way of life that supports the potential wholeness that we are.

Here are 3 benefits of changing our life direction and making the return trip from Ambition to Meaning:

1.     Ego’s repetitious insistence to do and have more becomes less attractive.

Changing direction from a less-than-authentic existence to an authentic one doesn’t mean that we’re no longer able to attract abundance and prosperity, or that we lose our desire to be productive.

It does mean that we feel the natural bliss of being tuned in to our wholeness.

We begin to shift from doing more to doing less.

On the journey back to our original nature, we do more of what the recovery movement teaches in that we “let go and let God.”

Without pressuring ourselves to achieve at all costs, we attain the wondrous position of accomplishing more, and we ultimately feel more significance in our life.

We begin to shun the spotlight and function more from the shadows.

Our Source of being says that humility should be our primary focus.

But for years, ego has been effectively convincing us that we must focus on acquiring a reputation for being an ambitious person.

Imagine the difficulty ego has when we begin practising this kind of radical humility.

2.     A belief in unity replaces our belief in separation.

Our Source of being tells us that we’re all connected, so we start feeling less competitive — our desire to dominate is replaced by compassion, and controlling others is no longer appealing.

All conflicts, be they in our personal life or the larger world, stem from heading away from our Source of being.

3.   We begin realizing that we’re connected in Spirit to everything we perceive to be missing from our life.

When we head in the direction of where we reconnect to our Source of being, the journey is typified by an alignment in which we think and act like the Tao that flows everywhere.

As we move in this direction, there’s no possibility of shortage or lack.

We become content and grateful for all that we have.

We begin trusting the wisdom that created us.

We abandon the material ego focus and can no longer see ourselves as separate from God.

As we become one with our Source, we begin the realignment process, thinking and contemplating more like God.”
