Quote of the day: Sunday

“Feel your intentions in your heart. Feel not what your mind tells you, but what your heart tells you. Rather than serve the fake gods of your mind, serve your heart, the real God. You will not find God in your intellect. Divine Intelligence is in the heart”

Gary Zukav (Seat of the Soul)

.

In the The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho also writes that “the heart knows”. When I read it, I felt it to be true and so I accepted it. Since then, I have made a conscious effort to be more aware of where my leads me especially when dealing with other people. The times I get it right, the outcomes are beautiful to behold. The heart knows…

On a different note. I have just completed the Seat of the Soul and have shared my lessons and impressions in a previous blog post which you can find here

Quote of the day: Saturday

“Hope looks forward. Faith knows it has already received and acts accordingly.” — Florence Shinn

This quote brought it all together for me yesterday. It was like the last piece of the puzzle (that I didn’t even realise was missing by the way) fell into place. Isn’t it amazing how you can hear or see something over and over and believe that you understand it. You think you get it and then one day, you realise that you did not get it at all because you were still struggling and still searching for answers. One day it all just makes sense💡. It’s as if the chains around you just drop to the ground and you feel free. You move forward in faith. You feel joyous and at peace.

Quote of the day: Friday

“Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul.”

Thomas Merton

I am reading The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav. One of his messages is very similar to this. The thought that struck me though was that often we are so busy tip-toeing around others and trying not to upset their egos that we compromise ourselves in the process. What are we planting in our own souls every time we do that? Mindfulness and self-love are so important to ensure that we keep vibrating at higher levels so that we can draw positive experiences to ourselves and uplift others at the same time.
