Great Round of Life

It is important to learn from the spiritually wise of the past, otherwise we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes in the future. No ‘one way’ has all the answers. Search for wisdom and light then, you will know when you find the Truth.


Buddha said:

“An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.”


“There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”

Hindu Scripture says:

“Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?”
                                                                                                                                          - Sai Baba

“The Self is the hub of the wheel of life,
And the sixteen forms are only the spokes.
The Self is the paramount goal of life.
Attain this goal and go beyond death!”
                                - Prashna Upanishad


Lao Tsu, Founder of Taoism said:

Anticipate the difficulty by managing the easy.”

“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.””

Jesus said:

“It is more important what comes out of your mouth, then what goes in.”

“Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

Wise leaders of the past have valid insights into how we ought to live. However, I caution you in taking any one individual's viewpoint as The Way.  Your Way is as personal and unique as you are. Find your Truth within the Great Round of Life, within yourself!

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Learn from the past, Grow in the present and Be in the future.” tc

Valley of Doubt

Do you ever feel like no one really cares? Like you wouldn’t be missed? Like nothing you do matters? Like no one is listening to you? In a world of technological connection and social isolation, it is hard distinguish where you are and where you are going.

Trust me…this pain will pass. You are a beautiful light of God and your life is meaningful. The pain that you endure is meant to help you grow. The troubles teach you lessons that only you can learn. The weight of today or yesterday is just an illusion created out of the fear of doubt.

Tomorrow is a new day. I believe that you can find the strength to rise above your troubles, to overcome your fear and find peace. You have a special purpose. You just have to believe in yourself and discover who you are meant to be. The path may challenge you but find your courage and never give up.

A Hindu saying fits perfect here. Titled: Limitless and Free

"You are always the same
Unfathomable awareness,
Limitless and free,
Serene and unperturbed.
Desire only your own awareness."

- Ashtavakra Gita 1:17


So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“The seed of doubt plants weeds that separate and isolate but there is always a river of life flowing within you." tc
