IMPORTANT TOOLS FOR 2011
HOPE, INSPIRATION, MOTIVATION and DREAMS
HOPE
According to ancient Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman created on earth upon the command of the Greek God, Zeus. Pandora was given several gifts by other greek gods and goddesses; among them was a coveted box. However, Pandora was told under no circumstances was she to open the box. Nonetheless, curiosity got the best of her and she ignored the warnings and opened the box. In doing so she let out all the evils of the world out into the world, but she closed the box just in time to trap one last virtue, HOPE. Ironically many interpreations of this myth focus on the explanation of why EVIL exists in the world today. My intention is to share an explantion of why HOPE still exists today.
INSPIRATION
To inspire is defined as “to influence, move, or guide by divine or supernatural inspiration.”
Dr. Deepak Chopra, a well known Indian-American speaker, author and teacher on Ayurvedic spirituality and mind-body medicine, has been quoted as saying “Inspiration comes from the same word as spirit. When you are inspired, the Spirit moves you.” Another definition of inspire is “to breathe life into.” As we start another new year I invite you all to allow yourselves to be inspired and let Spirit move you. Just as the Divine has given us HOPE, so has he shared many people to help INSPIRE and “breathe life into” those who need it. I also invite you to not only recognize the inspirations available to you, but to share them with others who can benefit from them as well. Keep the HOPE and INSPIRATION moving. Share them joyfully, willingly and lovingly. These actions will come back to you tenfold.
MOTIVATION
To motivate is defined as “to give someone a reason to do something, to offer them incentive or drive them forward.” Whereas Inspiration stems from within, Motivation is derived from outside motivating forces; for example, Money, Love, Lack, Necessity, or Fear. I’m not saying one is better than the other. I think there is a time and place for both and we should incorporate both, as well as Hope, as we gear up to face another year. Zig Ziglar, a motivational speaker who has published nearly 50 books on the subject, says, "It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude." He also says, "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing... that's why we recommend it daily." Very well put, Mr. Ziglar.
PRAYER/MEDITATION
In addition to daily motivation, I recommend daily prayer and meditation. Since Prayer is asking of the Divine and Meditation is listening for the response, one can’t effectively do one without the other. By having this daily communication we get in touch with our inner voice that connects us spiritually and enables us to be more aware of and open to the Hope, Inspirations and Motivations that are gifted to us constantly. Furthermore, if Motivation is merely a fleeting kick in the keister to move us forward, who better to receive it from than the Creator himself?
DREAMS
Another tool for the New Year I’d like to share is Dreams. Don’t forget to have them. Don’t discount them; for, Dreams have the power to Inspire and Motivate because they offer a glimpse of the Hope we can hold onto. A dream can represent a prayer or represent a meditative response. Believe in your Dreams. Don’t let anyone else make light of them. Make them your own and allow them to empower you. Furthermore, don’t hesitate to dream BIG. “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you will land among the stars.” I recently had a fortune cookie remind me not to pursue happiness, but to create it. I’ve written over and over that to be joyful is part of the divine plan for all of us, but as Mr. Ziglar said it starts with the attitude. In other words it starts within us. We then co-create the rest. Don’t be your own worst enemy and don’t let your limitations overshadow your talents. Think of yourself as a surfer and Life as a wave and ride it out. There’s no predicting what the tides, water will do. React to shifts in speed or direction as necessary. Hang on tight and never stop believing in yourself.
Until next time, may your days be brighter and your lives be lighter.

Judgment Day – It may come sooner than you think.
Mother Teresa’s words are so simple and yet so profound. Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary defines the verb “to judge” as to form an opinion about through careful weighing of evidence. Ironically, however, I believe that most people judge others without careful consideration of evidence. Most people are hasty in their impressions of others and judge them without evidence to actually support the judgment being made. Another definition states that to judge is to decide upon critically. This further worsens the judgment by not only jumping to a conclusion, but also jumping to a negative conclusion. I’m sure all of us are guilty of passing judgment at one time or another. It seems to be human nature to judge what is different or what we don’t understand. These irrational judgments are based solely in fear. All of us want to feel safe and loved and occasionally when we come across someone else who may appear to threaten those very necessary, basic emotions, we immediately judge them and label them so that we can safely put them in a place that no longer poses a threat. But, just as Mother Teresa proclaims, I’m here to say that it is far better to come from a place of love than a place of fear. Shifting our focus from fear to love is the key to practicing a life without judgment.
Judge not lest ye be judged. – Jesus Christ
How do you feel when you know someone has passed an unfair judgment upon you? Perhaps there was a time when you were having a bad day and inadvertently were rude to someone. Their immediate response, most likely, was to think you were a mean person. Most people don’t think to ask, “Is everything OK with you today?” They just know that they felt hurt when treated badly and they respond in kind. It is a fear-based reaction to a fear-based stimulus. What came first the chicken or the egg? I think that most of us judge others in retaliation of feelings, new and old, of being judged. However, while this may explain the behavior, it certainly does not excuse it. If you do judge someone unfairly and you realize it, don’t hesitate to apologize for it. In doing so you benefit yourself as well as the other person and may very possibly create a chain reaction for more healing.
If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change. Michael Jackson –“Man in the Mirror”
So if passing judgment seems to come naturally to most of us as an unconscious, fear-based, behavior, how do we start to change that to a conscious behavior of love and eradicate, or at least minimize making judgments? The first step is to acknowledge change is desired and necessary. The next step is to start from within, as the first person to stop judging is you. On a spiritual level we have our True Self and our Ego Self. Our True Self is in constant alignment with Divine Spirit – God, and Love. Our Ego Self is governed by judgment, guilt, and fear of the material world. Honor and love your True Self, whomever he/she may be, and do not fear judgment from others by doing so. Let go and release all self-judgment. Be true to your own happiness. When you take responsibility for your own happiness, you take back your power for your own happiness. Recently I have started to work more and more with the Archangels, or Chief Messengers of God. Archangel Zadkiel, whose name means “righteousness of God” and is considered the angel of mercy because of his role in stopping Abraham from sacrificing his son, Isaac, as an offering to God, can help you to let go of judgment by seeing the Divine light within your True Self and others, instead of focusing on the Ego Self. All that you have to do is ask him and allow him to help you. It’s really that simple.
At judgment day a man will have to account for all the good things he might have enjoyed but didn’t. - Jewish proverb.
Don’t wait for the proverbial judgment day before you give yourself a life review. At regular intervals, from time to time, whenever it feels right, look at your life. Not to judge it, but to learn from it. A life review allows you to recognize and account for specific behaviors, actions, spoken words that you may wish you had done differently, so that if a similar situation presents itself again you have a second chance to make positive adjustments and do it another way. The aforementioned Jewish proverb is one of my favorites because it reminds us that to experience joy is one of our essential missions here on earth. It is written throughout the Talmud, the Jewish book of laws, that it is our duty to be joyful. We must pray with joy, we must express joy; we must live a life of joy. If we are centered in love and focused on joy, there is little room left for fear and judgment. So where as Mother Teresa said, “If you judge people you have no time to love them.” I say, “If you love people, you have no time to judge them.”
Until next time, may your days be brighter and your lives be lighter.
