Plant only love...

This is a repost. I want to again share with you the first half of the poem 'Every Tree'. It is a translation of a Rumi poem by Coleman Barks from his book 'The Glance - Songs of Soul-Meeting'.


EVERY TREE

Every tree, every growing thing as it
grows, says this truth: You harvest what

you sow. With life as short as a half-
taken breath, don't plant anything but

love. The value of a human being can
be measured by what he or she most deeply

wants. Be free of possessing things.
Sit at an empty table. Be pleased with

water, the taste of being home. People
travel the world looking for the Friend,

But that one is always at home!

The Law of Attraction - the bad and the good

Here's the skinny on the Law of Attraction:

- first the bad news:

Anger WILL beget anger
Fear WILL beget fear
Hatred WILL beget hatred

and on, and on, and on...


- and now the GOOD news:

LOVE WILL beget love
TRUST WILL beget trust
PEACE WILL beget peace

and on, and on, and on and on...

The two big benefits of writing a 'gratitude journal'

If you're my relative, a friend, an acquaintance, a client, a co-traveller on the seat next to mine or anyone at all who spends more than a few minutes with me, I'm going to exhort you to write a 'gratitude journal' - five things that you were/could be grateful for during the day...write them down at the end of the day, before you go to sleep, in a nicely-bound journal. Just do it - to watch your life change before your very eyes!

Why, you ask?

Firstly, to break the pattern of negativity which we all succumb to. When we focus on things that are going wrong or badly we just keep attracting more and more of the same. By remembering to include into our focus, things that go right, we change the old pattern of negativity.

Secondly, since our emotions are the magnets that attract pleasant or unpleasant events into our life, it is worth the trouble to keep them as happy and upbeat as possible. Writing a gratitude journal keeps our emotions light, upbeat, pleasant and positive, helping us attract more positive events in our lives.
