Overcoming Procrastination “Carpe Punctum” - Seize this Moment

So, I have been listening to a lot of enlightening media lately, and they seem to have a central theme.  The moment.  Most of us get caught up in the day-to-day living of life, in which we are always tuned into thinking about things that don’t necessarily apply to right now.  If you want to overcome procrastination, you must respect the moment.

With this economy, it sure is easy to drift away thinking about this bill or that bill, or how we are going to pay this or that.  With the election season caught, we get thinking about the worse case scenario if this candidate gets into office or if that candidate gets into office.   Read more

God Creates No Garbage

This is a Guest post from Blog Carnival participant, Edith Yeung. She is a powerhouse. Check out her blog.

What motivates you to get up every morning? What put a smile on your face before you go to bed at night? Why do you do what you do every day?

Imagine you are given a vault to open. Inside this vault lies the answer to your life’s purpose.

This is a big iron vault. If you force it open, you will damage what’s inside. The easy way is to find the key to the vault, but you have no idea where the key is…

Sometimes you may find keys which look like they could work, but when you try them with the vault, you only leave with disappointment and sadness.

You can’t wait to open the vault and find out your true purpose. You know the answer is inside and it is only one turn of the key away.

We are all here for a reason. For a purpose. We are here to serve. To dream. To fulfill a purpose that our creator has designed for us.

The key to understanding your purpose is to find the key to your vault.

Lots of people would pass you by and tell you what the right key is. But no one really knows except you.

The trick is that only you will be able to find the right key to your own vault. And, the only way to find out is to closely listen to your heart.

Trust your intuition. Not your mind. Not your intellect. And definitely not anyone else’s.

You can and you will find the right key. Once you find that key, it will be easy (like a breeze) to open what seem to be a complicated puzzle.

Keeping Things in Perspective

Mountains have always captured our imaginations, calling us to scale their heights, to circle and worship at their feet, and to pay homage to their greatness. Mountains can be seen from thousands of miles away, and if we are lucky enough to be on top of one, we can see great stretches of the surrounding earth. As a result, mountains symbolize vision, the ability to rise above the adjacent lowlands and see beyond our immediate vicinity. From the top of the mountain, we are able to witness life from a new perspective—cities and towns that seem so large when we are in them look tiny. We can take the whole thing in with a single glance, regaining our composure and our sense of proportion as we realize how much bigger this world is than we sometimes remember it to be.

Mountains are almost always considered holy and spiritual places, and the energy at the top of a mountain is undeniably unique. When we are on top of a mountain, it is as if we have ascended to an alternate realm, one in which the air is purer and the energy lighter. Many a human being has climbed to the top of a mountain in order to connect with a higher source of understanding, and many have come back down feeling stronger and wiser. Whenever we are feeling trapped or limited in our vision, a trip to our nearest mountain may be just the cure we need.
