So much of our daily discontent comes from the fact that most of us are MORE AWARE OF OUR WEAKNESSES than our STRENGTHS, more aware of our FAILURES than our SUCCESSES, MORE AWARE OF OUR LIMITATIONS than our GIFTS. I can’t tell you how many problems that causes!
Don’t go to the next 70 years responding to the unfair situations in your life the same way, getting upset, offended, impatient, feeling sorry for yourself, plotting revenge. Stay on the potters wheel. Next time things don’t go your way, instead of letting your blood pressure boil and muttering expletives under your breath, try a […]
Hanumanji, son of the wind / lord of the monkeys Rama’s best friend / you eliminate illusion and destroy all sin / and you’re known as Shiva’s incarnation /
“Don’t use where you are as an excuse to not grow. Don’t say, “I’m not in a good job. I don’t like my position. I’ve had unfair things happen. That’s why I’ve lost my passion.” Remember, the treasure is still in you. Krishna is saying, “It’s time to use your gifts. Stretch yourself. Take some […]
Abraham Maslow “The healthiest, most flourishing, and most valuable among us are those who are “motivated by transformation”, “by the release of potentials, capacities and talents thru purposeful action.” Have you ever felt there is a self YOU OUGHT TO BE beating beneath the thing you are, yearning to realize itself, hankering to rise up. […]
We all go thru situations that seem unfair. Seems unfair that someone could lie about you & get away with it. Seems unfair sister has children but you can’t. Seems unfair special needs child or Seems unfair lost a loved one. Life has thrown you a curve. Not everything has gone according to plan. here’s […]
Trust him with your closed doors. He controls the seasons. And sometimes you’re in spring for a long time, blossoming, fruitful, then the season changes. You come into winter. KRISHNA will stop things that weren’t working. If you’re stubborn, you try to force it. You get upset because it’s not what it used to be. […]
I want to talk to you today about Getting a New Image. Many people are not reaching their potential not because they’re not talented, not because they don’t have favor. It’s because their Vision is limited. They don’t see themselves accomplishing their dreams, being blessed and living healthy. But you will never rise any higher […]
No matter what life sends our way, our attitude should be “I’m hurting but I’m STILL HERE.” A Friend did me wrong, but I’m STILL HERE. Business is slow, BUT I’M STILL HERE. Didn’t feel like coming to the temple today, but here I am. You gotta have a “made up mind. I’m going to […]
There’s something you have to do: Krishna is NOT GOING TO take the burden away. You have to RELEASE the worry, RELEASE the frustration, RELEASE having to figure it out. Come back to a place of peace. Hare Krishna The right attitude is ” Krishna, my life is in your hands. I commit my dreams, […]
We have heard it said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” But today we affirm, “It is ALSO blessed to RECEIVE.” Every one of us has received something. We don’t have anything to give, EXCEPT as we have received. Every breath of life, every heartbeat, every conscious thought is a gift. Every […]
Don’t be TOO BUSY for the people supposedly UNDERNEATH YOU. Don’t deny them the time of day. Treat everyone with respect & honor. They are brought Xcross your path for a reason. If you look at the lives of Lord Jesus Christ and Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, some of their most defining moments came when they […]
Too many of us settle for “good enough”. My marriage is not what it could be, but at least we are staying together (good enough), don’t like this job, but at least I’m employed (good enough), would love to make “A’s” in school, but I’m not that smart (these “C”s are good enough). Let’s not […]
All the facts say “It’s impossible”, but KRISHNA ON PURPOSE will have you underestimated. When it seems the LEAST LIKELY, that’s when He shows up the GREATEST. Don’t get discouraged when you’re underestimated. It’s a setup. KRISHNA put you in that position to show Himself strong. When you defy the odds, everyone will know His […]
The enemy would LOVE for you to worry about things that are never going to happen. She would LOVE for you to miss the beauty of this day, because you’re so anxious about tomorrow. Don’t fall into that trap. KRISHNA has not failed you in the past, and he’s not going to fail you now. […]
Krishna is saying to you: your hour has come. If you’re going to reach your highest potential, you have to SET YOUR FACE. You can’t be distracted by things that are keeping you from your purpose. You don’t have time to waste, worried about what people think about you, worried about the economy, worried about […]
In the same way you have to see the things that are messy in yr life, the things you struggle with, the things that seem out of pLace, as simply UNDER CONSTRUCTION It does not mean things are not going to work out. Maybe there’s water in yr the future temple room. There are tools […]
Now the question we need to ask ourselves is, “Am I making myself sick? Am I sabotaging my relationships? Am I limiting my potential? Am I holding myself down because my spirit is unhealthy”? Scripture says, “Make sure that no root of bitterness springs forth and defiles you”. It describes bitterness as a root. A […]
But here’s the key. Just because it’s uncomfortable doesn’t mean it’s not where we’re supposed to be. Krishna uses difficulties to do a work in us. We grow in the tough times. That’s when our character is being developed, and Krishna will not allow a difficulty unless he has a divine purpose for it. If […]
Ask Yourself. If I engage in this battle, invest my time & energy, trying to straighten someone out, arguing, defending myself, trying to prove that I am right……EVEN IF I WIN THIS BATTLE, what is the prize going to be??? That person who cuts me off in traffic. If I cut him off, get upset […]
