Viktor Frankl: Why Meaning Matters

This being human is a guest house.

The Guest House                                by Rumi​

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

But maybe agreeing to love is the greatest agreement.

 

To love, my brothers and sisters, does not mean we have to agree. But maybe agreeing to love is the greatest agreement. And the only one that ultimately matters, because it makes a future possible.

 Hola Relatives, 

Ten years ago my dear friend Angeles Arrien left this world leaving us with so many of her wisdom sharing through books, videos and programs that touched peoples lives around the world.  Angie and I go back over forty five years.  She was a medicine person from the Basque country in Spain who went through her first initiation at the age of four on top of a mountain.  We supported each other in our work and enjoyed friendship through the years. Long ago she counseled wisdom  that today  holds even more weight. 

“We must shift our allegiance from fear to curiosity, from attachment to letting go, from control to trust, and from entitlement to humility.” -Angeles Arrien   Angie also made a request before she passed.  She asked her friends and students to honor her life and memory by lighting a candle on the anniversary of her death.  Please join me in so doing and opening to receiving a beam of Angie’s  love and wisdom coming your way from the Spirit World.  

 

THREE EASY STEPS TO GRATEFULNESS

 

Gratefulness has three steps: not missing the opportunity, appreciating the opportunity, and using or enjoying the opportunity. By this method we come fully alive, full of joy, which is what we are all longing for.

In difficult times carry (or create) something beautiful...

 

In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.

BLAISE PASCAL Or create something beautiful:

We are the change that we seek.

 

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Appreciating Things...or not!

 

I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.

ANY THOUGHT ABOUT YOURSELF IS SIMPLY A THOUGHT

REALIZE THAT AS THE TRUTH OF YOURSELF

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
