Thoughtful Tuesdays: Who Is Directing This Movie?

I like to pay attention to the details. Perhaps a little too much. This post was yet again, well timed for me. Now to be able to practice this in my daily life, that is the real challenge. I really have to let go of my trust issues when it comes to the Universe haha.

The following is an exact excerpt from the book Listening To Your Inner Voice by Douglas Bloch. I in no way possess any ownership of the following. I am simply sharing the thoughts, expressions and words of an author who has inspired me.
*Feel free to change the word 'God' to fit your belief system. I directly quoted Bloch's work.

 Who Is Directing This Movie?

Most of us would like to believe that we are the person best qualified to direct our life's movie. But when we attempt to run things solely from the perspective of the ego, we soon discover the limits of it's power. Despite our best intentions, chaos and confusion abound on the set. Life lacks a quality of flow, joy, and peace. 

"How can this be?", you may ask. "In order to run my life, I must be in charge.. I must be in control. What other way is there?"

There is an alternative. Let the real director run the show. From now on, take your cues from that universal Intelligence which dwells within you. If you are told to appear in a scene where you don't think you belong, have faith. Watch as people and resources appear at the right time and place, and all unfolds in divine order. 

Make the choice to turn your life over to your higher director. Instead of trying to control everything, trust that the Universe will handle the details. Letting go may be scary at first. But if you follow this path, your life will work out more beautifully than you ever could have imagined. 

Affirmations

1. I let go and let God.

2. I let the universe handle the details.

3. When I realize the need to be in control, everything works out.

4. I trust my intuition to show me the way.

5. My life unfolds in Divine order.

6. Your Own ______________.

Thoughtful Tuesdays : The True Treasure

It's Tuesday again, and today's excerpt from Bloch's book is waiting to be shared.

The following is an exact excerpt from the book Listening To Your Inner Voice by Douglas Bloch. I in no way possess any ownership of the following. I am simply sharing the thoughts, expressions and words of an author who has inspired me.

The True Treasure

Consider the following story of misplaced priorities. While hiking in the wilderness, I met a man whose T-shirt carried the following message: "He who dies with the most toys, wins."

As I pondered those words, I was sure the author meant the opposite of what he said.  No one on his deathbed ever stated, "I wish I had of spent more time at the office."  We were put on this earth not to accumulate "toys", but to reap the gifts of the spirit.  These gifts come to us when we dedicate our lives to something greater than ourselves - a path of service in the world, the raising  of a loving family, the creation of beauty through art, or any passion that inspires one. 

          Having lived in this manner, you can look back over your life, with a real sense of fulfillment. By
          following the path of peace, love, and joy, you will discover your true treasure - one that
         transcends life itself. 


         He who dies, having followed his heart, wins. 

Affirmations

       

         1. Joy is my compass.

         2. As I follow the path of my heart, I discover my true treasure.

         3. I release my unnecessary attachments to people, things, or situations in the world. 

         4. My spiritual growth is my top priority. 

         5. When I am being true to the highest and best in me, the rest of my life falls into place.
