A week of PiCK-ME-UPs ::

Feeling and Doing...
More important than feeling love for others, is doing those actions that lead to feelings of love. More important than feeling inspired, is saying those words that lead to inspiration. More important than feeling great joy, is thinking those thoughts that make us happy. ::

The Main Residence...
For us, the main place the Creator's presence resides in our heads. As such, we should keep our thoughts pure -- clear of anger, resentment, and grief, clean of hatred, disdain and the need to take revenge. ::

To Model Ourselves...
We need to keep the Creator alive in our thoughts not just that we may focus on His joy, majesty and love, but that we may model ourselves on this magnificence. ::

Paths and Gates...
With all our hearts, we must walk the paths of wisdom, aiming as we do so to pass through gates of new understanding and insight, and reach an ultimate greatness. ::

The Source...
Think of the Creator as the source of ultimate happiness. Now strive for ultimate happiness, for yourself and others, for now and for the future. ::

How Brightly...
How brightly can we dream of light and love, of revelation and happiness -- for ourselves, for our world? How often and long can we dream? How real can we dream? We need to give more to our all-important ability to dream. It may just be our greatest act of creativity. ::

A week of PiCK-ME-UPs ::

A Prison...
Our physical-material situation is a prison. We rely so much on our health, wealth, our jobs and connections. But, all this stops us from laying our faith with the Master of all, and enjoying the many gifts He has for us. ::

Above Ourselves...
We need to rise above ourselves, to exist separately from our bodies and our physical needs and see ourselves from above. We look at our whole, and not just at the parts. This way, we get a true view of ourselves and the paths we hope to follow. ::

To Radiate...
We all admire the person with a quick tongue and sharp sense of humor. However, the ability to radiate warmth, love and affection towards the people in our lives is many times more valuable. ::

Faith...
Faith is not the product of intellectually following proofs for the Creator's existence. It is also not experiencing personal miracles in our lives. Rather, it is the ongoing relationship we create through connecting with the Creator at an everyday level -- speaking to Him, praying to Him, and enjoying His presence. ::

Complaining...
Complaining is destructive. It may help us now and then to unload our worries on others, but mostly when we complain, we display ungratefulness, and bring even more troubles on ourselves. ::

Changes...
The changes in the seasons, summer, winter, spring, autumn, keep us alert. The changes in our situations, good days and bad, times of joy and times of depression, keep us on our toes. All this tells us that we have to keep moving, doing, achieving and growing. ::
