Steve Goodier - True Love

How easy it is to confuse love with passion! One father said of his teenaged son, “I don’t know if he’s in love or in heat!” Feelings of attraction can change more quickly than the seasons, but love, in its truest form, is greater than feelings.

Love is what Mr. and Mrs. Strauss shared. Mrs. Isadore Strauss was one of the few first class women passengers to go down with the Titanic in 1912, and she drowned because she could not bear to leave her husband.

They remained calm throughout the excitement of the sinking vessel. They both aided frightened women and children to find places aboard lifeboats. Finally, Mr. Strauss, who had repeatedly urged his wife to claim a spot safely aboard a lifeboat, forced her to enter one. Read more

Wisdom from Osho

You are not accidental. Existence needs you. Without you something will be missing in existence and nobody can replace it. That’s what gives you dignity, that the whole of existence will miss you. The stars and the sun and the moon, the trees and birds and earth—everything in the universe will feel a small place is vacant which cannot be filled by anybody except you.This gives you a tremendous joy, a fulfillment that you are related to existence, and that existence cares for you. Once you are clean and clear, you can see tremendous love falling on you from all dimensions.
~Osho

30 Second Speech by the Former CEO of Coca Cola

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. They are Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest. Read more

Steve Goodier - Just In Time

Do you ever worry about what might happen in the future? Or do you find yourself anxious about things over which you have no control? If so, then a teaching from author and lecturer Corrie ten Boom may help.

She learned a powerful lesson as a little girl. Having encountered the cold, lifeless body of a baby, she realized that the reality of death would someday strike her family, too. Perhaps her father or mother or sister, Betsy, would soon die.

She anxiously worried about these possibilities until her father came in one night to tuck her into bed. Corrie burst into tears and sobbed, “I need you. You can’t die. You can’t!” Read more

Monday Morning Meditation for the week of Aug. 23/10

What is Mine to Do?

The following is a guided meditation by Dan Shafer designed to help you reach a more peaceful inner experience which is one of the keys to achieving peace in the world outside yourself. The message of this meditation is that when we have things in our lives that we wish to change, we must seek guidance as to what is ours to do to effect that change. We recommend that you find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted for a few minutes, relax, and then just listen to the meditation, which includes a few moments of silence to allow for your own personal inner reflection on its message.

Steve Goodier - What Will You Become?

“Is it true,” a young boy asked his mother, “that we are made of dust?”

“Yes,” she said.

“And is it true that we go back to dust again when we die?” he continued.

“Yes, dear.”

“Well, Mommy, when I looked under my bed I saw someone who was coming or going, but I don’t know which.”

Of course, a lot of people (like me) don’t always know whether they are coming or going. But he doesn’t have to worry about humans being created and dying under his bed.

More interesting is the fact that all things are coming and going in a different way. Even people are constantly reshaped, remolded and re-created! Not from dust bunnies, but from life itself. Let me explain. Read more
