Don’t ask yourself what the world needs.
Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and
then go do it, Because what the world needs
is people who have come alive.
~ Harold Thurman Whitman
To charm, to strengthen & to teach. These are the 3 great chords of might.
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human body, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” – Thomas Edison
Have you ever seen the acrobats on the big trampolines, or the people in the circus on the big bounding nets? And they hit that net and they spring forth into flight. Well, the moment that they hit the net, that’s like the platform of your life. But it is the flying through the air that is the main event.
We want you to think of your “now reality” as nothing more than the net that is springing you — but it is the flight through the air that is your life.
So many of you, you hit that net and then you lay on your stomach, and then you wrap your fingers and toes into it, and you put your face tight into it, and you say, “I’ve got to face reality.” And we say, you didn’t come forth to face reality. You came forth to spring off of reality. You came forth to let the reality be the basis from which you take flight.
Abraham-Hicks Philadelphia, PA — 11/7/1999
For what it’s worth it’s never too late or too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit; start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There’s no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it & I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you find the strength to start all over again.
“And now it is your Life Story and it is you who play the leading roll. The stage is set, the time is now, and the place wherever you are. Each passing second a new link in the endless chain of Time. The drama of Life is a continuous story – ever new, ever changing, and ever wondrous to behold.”
“Hopefulness only makes sense when it doesn’t make sense to be hopeful. This is your century. Take it and run as if your life depends on it.” ~ Paul Hawken
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. -Rumi
