Life is meant to be loved.

Happiness is attainable.

Living a life of truth can be a reality.

In daily life, if you happen to tell a lie, ask yourself, “Why did I really lie?” Did you lie for social gain or ego purposes? Did you lie to create a false reality to make yourself feel better? Did you do it to benefit another person you care a lot about? Ask yourself after you tell your next small lie.

Consciousness of Gods Presence

The secret is to see God in everything and to not become attached to anything. Answer to God.

Be conscious each day. If you had a great day, acknowledge God. If you had a terrible day, acknowledge God. God is the reason why we are here. Your heart is God. We all are God.

One who sees God will not “sweat the small stuff” because he or she is free and willing to be happy.

Amazon could be the company that finally delivers sustainable fruits and vegetables to neighborhoods that do not have proper access.

“Amazon.com Inc is planning a major roll-out of an online grocery business that it has been quietly developing for years, targeting one of the largest retail sectors yet to be upended by e-commerce.”

“Why this compulsion? It’s not for fast cars or fancy houses. Trigg makes money just to give it away. His logic is simple: The more he makes, the more good he can do.”

“Many people talk about saving a life as one of the greatest things you can do,” says Robbie Schade, a roboticist at Google who says he gives 25 percent of his earnings to charity, “but seem unaware that it is within their power to save multiple lives every year, with little personal sacrifice.”

“So why do they care? It’s all about belonging to a group, as well as simply living vicariously through stories. Just as soap opera audiences love to feel outraged by the scandals of fictional characters, some sports fans love to feel outraged by the scandals of professional athletes. Just as we can take comfort in being a part of a family, people take comfort in being a fan of a team, and having that in common with other fans.”

Happiness should never be influenced or subject to any outside influence. People have the ability to manifest in their minds anything they want. “Plain living and high thinking” is an awesome way to practice and go about life.

A way to attain peace: Focus your intention on meditation, physical activity (yoga, running, sports), and learning. Do not let the environment you are living in dictate your inner peace. One can be taught realization and ways to acknowledge the breath. Once you hear your breathe you may become conscious and if you become conscious you may realize God’s presence. You may see that in this world of 7 billion plus people, we are all One.

“The best organic food is what’s grown closest to you. Use local harvest’s website to find farmers’ markets, family farms, and other sources of sustainably grown food in your area, where you can buy produce, grass-fed meats, and many other goodies.”

In India there is a popular story about Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. They were boasting among themselves about their tremendous might. Suddenly a little boy came up and said to Brahma, “What do you create?” “Everything,” Brahma replied grandly. The boy asked the other two gods what their work was. “We preserve and destroy everything,” they answered.

The young visitor was holding in his hand a single piece of straw about the size of a toothpick. Placing it in front of Brahma, he asked, “Can you create a piece of straw like this?” After prodigious effort, Brahma found to his astonishment that he could not. The lad then turned to Vishnu and asked him to save the straw, which was slowly starting to dissolve under the boy’s steady gaze. Vishnu’s efforts to hold it together were fruitless. Finally, the little stranger produced the piece of straw again and asked Shiva to destroy it. But try as Shiva would to annihilate it, the tiny straw remained intact.

The little boy turned again to Brahma: “Did you create me?” he asked. Brahma thought and thought; he could not remember ever having created this amazing child. Suddenly the boy vanished. The three gods awoke from their delusion and remembered that behind their power is a Greater Power.
