Be selfish for a moment and think of something material that you want... something fantastic, something awesome, something wonderful. Now, double it. Whatever it is you want, think of owning two of them. They're yours free and clear. Think of the implications their possession would have on your life. What would your neighbors say? Where would you keep them? What colors would you choose, what dimensions, what characteristics?
Okay, you're about to receive a third one, more than you could possibly use (at the moment), so who would you give it to? How would you tell them? What would their reaction be? Would you be able to help them take ownership? Would you be there to facilitate the transition, if necessary? What would your friends and family say about your generosity? Would you do it again? If so, for whom?
This exercise has now concluded. Drop it from your thinking. Resume enjoying the here and now, because it's the only place happiness resides, and every so often, as your mind wanders to thoughts of the above, smile with gratitude.
Choices, choices, choices,

Closed Doors

All roads lead to
the city of Light.

Some are long indeed,
and filled with
needless suffering.

But which road to chose?

Releasing choice to the
One who knows
closes many doors our
ego may have chosen,

Leaving only those
perfect for our highest good.

Let us chose only to
Allow It to chose for us.

~Please pass to others as you are guided~

If a child smiles, if an adult smiles, that is very important.If in our daily lives we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not one we,but everyone will profit from it. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile? Our

smile affirms out awareness and determination to live in peace and joy.
The source of a true smile is an awakened mind.

How can you remember to smile when you wake up?
You might hang a reminder--such as a branch, a leaf, a painting, or some inspiring words--in your window or from the ceiling above your bed, so that you notice it when you wake up.

Once you develop the practice of smiling,you may not need a reminder.

You will smile as soon as you hear a bird singing or see the sunlight streaming through the window.

Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.
