Completion, Golden Heart, Harold Klemp, Love

Today’s Quote:

“A person with a golden heart is filled with love and likes to see something that he starts completed and done well.” – Harold Klemp – The Language of Soul

Have you ever done something well, just for the sake of doing it well? Have you ever done something well without any expectation of praise or feedback? This is what the golden heart is. It is about serving one’s fellow creatures without any expectations of praise or payback. You serve others to make their lives easier, more peaceful, and to take away some of their burdens.

Service can be as simple as listening to someone, picking up a piece of trash out of your neighbor’s lawn, petting an animal, smiling at a young child. The list goes on and on. I don’t remember where I read it, but the passage said that when times are tough on you and you have no idea where to turn–help someone. By helping someone else, you take your mind off of your troubles and make someone else’s day easier. This is really great advice. It has worked for me multiple times.

Serve others when you’re happy; serve others when you’re sad, especially when you’re sad. It will help you more than you could ever imagine.

Until next time…

Arianna Huffington, Love, passion, Quality, Success, Work

Today’s Quote:

“We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in.” – Arianna Huffington

I call this “going through the motions”.

Any of us can go through the motion of doing our work. We show up on time, we sit at our desks and we do the work we are assigned without any thought, creativity, or purpose. It is so easy to fall into this trap.

The key to success in this life is to do the best you can, regardless of who is watching or the potential for reward. Do it out of love. Do it for God.

When you put your heart into something it really shows. I read an article a long time ago that described how a Mother always cooked her family’s food with love. Anyone that ate that food knew it was because of the love this Mother had for her family.

Put your love into everything you do. Put your love into making your bed, cleaning the dishes, raking the leaves, mowing the lawn, or even doing your laundry. You’ll be amazed at how good you feel when you’re done and the difference in the results you achieve.

Until tomorrow…

Contribute, God, Harold Klemp, Love, Talent

Today’s Quote

“Become an expert in something. You need to be grounded in something. When you do something for God, for the highest principle, you do each step until it sings.” – Harold Klemp – The Language of Soul

We are all put on this Earth to contribute. We all come here with inherent talents that are uniquely our own. Harold Klemp stresses the need to do whatever you do for God. If you truly do this, you will do the very best you can. When you do this, you’ll feel a completeness within. This completeness is love.

Love what you do. Put love into all you do. To get love, you have to give it. Give it to every task you do and it will be returned to you.

Until tomorrow…

Harold Klemp, Love

If you make a meal, put love into it instead of the frustrations of your day. Because whatever is put into the food is a reflection of what you have inside yourself, and it goes out to your family, it goes out to your friends. And it makes a very real difference. —Harold Klemp – The Language of Soul

This is a very important point. Love is the most important thing in this universe, but many only think about intimate love. The love this quote addresses is an impersonal love or the ability to wish everyone well around you. When you put love into a meal or any task for that matter, it makes a difference to those receiving the benefits of your labor.

Love changes the taste of the food, love changes the quality of the work, love converts everything to a better state.

I wish each you of you a wonderful day, filled with love!

See you tomorrow…

Brother, Dad, family, Love, Mom, Sister

Today’s Quote:

“The most important thing in the world is family and love.” – John Wooden

There are some quotes that do not need an explanation. I have been blessed by a family that always does its best to take care of one another. My brother and sister have taken care of me, and I, them. My Mom and Dad raised us and gave us the best life they could. Today, I am doing my best to return the things they gave us, now that they are in their Golden Years. I cherish every day I have with my Mom and Dad.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday!

See you tomorrow…

Einstein, God, Love

Today’s Quote:

“Before God, we are all equally wise – and equally foolish.” – Albert Einstein

God is God to everyone and all. God loves all without discrimination, without pretense, without antecedent. God is love. We are because of God’s love.

Have a great weekend everyone!

To all of my readers that are Fathers, Happy Father’s Day (in the US)!

Beauty, Happiness, Love, Power, trailblazer, Zhuangzi

“Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.” – Zhuangzi

“The wise man knows that it is better to sit on the banks of a remote mountain stream than to be emperor of the whole world.” ― Zhuangzi

“A path is made by walking on it.” ― Zhuangzi

Hello, all!

I was feeling a little philosophical today, so I went out and dug up some quotes from Zhuangzi. I really enjoy some of the Chinese philosophers (Zhuangzi, Lao Tzu, Confucious). I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The first is about having a “state of being”. You are either happy or you are not. If you are trying to be happy you will be trying forever.

The second quote has a few meanings for me. I think the most relevant is the importance of love and beauty over power.

The last makes me think about all of the trailblazers throughout our history, like Lewis and Clark, Emilia Earhart, or Marco Polo. The paths these people created, did not exist until they created them.

Have a great rest of your Sunday!!
