Food For Thought today from J. Krishnamurti’s The Book of Life
“To find out the true meaning of happiness, we must explore the river of self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is not an end in itself. Is there a source to a stream? Every drop of water from the beginning to the end makes a river. To imagine that we will find happiness at the source is to be mistaken. It is to be found where you are on the river of self-knowledge.”

From Bruce Springsteen’s latest, High Hopes
Down In The Hole tells the story of someone searching for a loved one in the wreckage of a disaster.
I just love the mournful violin and organ…
I strive each day to practice acceptance of all things and all people in my life, no matter how difficult it may be in some trying circumstances. As in all things in life, some days are easier than others…
Acceptance requires tolerance, understanding, compassion and empathy. To be accepting of others, I know must be tolerant of their differences in thoughts and beliefs.
Acceptance is in fact, key to love and love heals all…

When life deals you a large plate of problems all the same time, you feel as though your life has been hit with what some people might call, a major shitstorm.
While in fact a slew of problems swirling around you may feel as though it is a shitstorm, to make your way through that shitstorm, you need to turn your thinking around and recognize that each struggle and each loss, represents change.
When you get that the struggles and loss are change, you begin to stop grieving and move forward. Ultimately we all need to move forward in life no matter what we are going through or struggling with.
Start out each day, one foot in front of the other… Keep moving forward, the storm will clear in time and you will have found a new sense of strength and calm.

In the past few years the economy has been challenging and difficult for so many people, including myself. I know that when I worry about whether I have enough to cover my living expenses, I block the flow of prosperity and abundance. Sometimes we all need a little re-minding…
Today, I will not worry about what I need, I will focus on what I have, with gratitude in my heart. Abundance coexists with the grace of knowing that I have everything I need, right here, right now. When I rest in that knowledge, I open up the channels to give and to receive. ~ Pamela Leavey
