The Path That Leads To Nowhere
by Corinne Roosevelt Robinson

There's a path that leads to Nowhere
In a meadow that I know,
Where an inland island rises
And the stream is still and slow;
There it wanders under willows
And beneath the silver green
Of the birches' silent shadows
Where the early violets lean.

Other pathways lead to Somewhere,
But the one I love so well
Had no end and no beginning --
Just the beauty of the dell,
Just the windflowers and the lilies
Yellow striped as adder's tongue,
Seem to satisfy my pathway
As it winds their sweets among.

There I go to meet the Springtime,
When the meadow is aglow,
Marigolds amid the marshes, --
And the stream is still and slow. --
There I find my fair oasis,
And with care-free feet I tread
For the pathway leads to Nowhere,
And the blue is overhead!

All the ways that lead to Somewhere
Echo with the hurrying feet
Of the Struggling and the Striving,
But the way I find so sweet
Bids me dream and bids me linger,
Joy and Beauty are its goal, --
On the path that leads to Nowhere
I have sometimes found my soul!

Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (1861- 1933)

Corinne was the younger sister of former President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt and an aunt of former First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt.

A published poet, lecturer, and orator, she began writing at an early age and in 1911, Robinson published her first poem, "The Call of Brotherhood", in Scribner's Magazine. Her first book of poems of the same title was published in 1912.

Time To Stop Seeking?

"If there are so many seekers, why are there so few finders?"

-- Eckhart Tolle

Perhaps we've misunderstood the whole concept of a spiritual journey. The term "seeker" means we are looking for something we believe we do not have now. It places all hope on the future because as a seeker, we haven't yet found our salvation.

Tolle encourages us to experience the truth of who we are by being present right now. If we do that, we don't have to seek anything. We already have everything and can relax and rejoice in the power of being.

"There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue."

-- Hagakure

Attract the Universe and Achieve Your Goals by: Donny Pazzero

The Universal Law of Attraction can be a very effective tool in making you achieve your goals and practically everything else you want to have in this lifetime. You will realize that desire should always start from within, and the world will just obey your thoughts, actions and ideas. Here are some guidelines on how to get your objectives just the way you want.

Ask the Universe

According to the Universal Law of Attraction, ask the universe and it shall give to you. However, to achieve your goals, you have to truly have an idea about what kind of thing or event you want to happen in your life. There are plenty of items that you can ask from the world. The most common are superficial things such as money, a new car, a new house, etc. More meaningful items include better relationships with your family or wife, happiness in your job and life, etc. All of these can be given to you at the time you want and in the extent you need. To help you work out what you want find a personal development consultant who will help you identify this at a very low cost for you.

The Way You Ask

The way you ask the universe will also matter. Keep in mind that the universe will immediately hear and respond in the manner you believe in. Your first thought might go, 'I want a brand new Ferrari.' The world will then respond, 'Your wish is my command.' However, other thoughts can still enter such as, 'But it may still be when I'm in my 40's.' or 'But it will happen when I get the promotion.' or even 'It can't happen.' The world will just say yes to everything you inject in your thoughts.

The time, extent, severity and other details of your wish will be determined by your mind alone. If you have any doubt or disbelief about the power of the universe to provide, then it will truly give to you accordingly. Make sure you clean your thoughts thoroughly so that you set your goals straight and allow the universe to perform the best way.

Your Actions

Once you and your personal development consultant have set your goals and asked from the universe, your mind, thoughts and body will start acting automatically to lead towards the goals and objectives. You will subconsciously accomplish small tasks and open up a wide array of opportunities that are meant to direct you to the ultimate mark. Renew your goals each morning as you wake up and your body will just function immediately towards these.

Work both consciously and subconsciously. Remember that it also requires effort and discipline on your part to receive the best things in life. Do not expect everything to just fall into place. If you want to land that promotion, then you should start going to work early, volunteer for projects and show that you are prepared for bigger responsibilities.

Staying Positive

The Universal Law of Attraction helps you achieve your goals, as long as you remain positive. Always believe that the universe is capable of providing immediately. Anything can actually happen, in the time you have set. Always be optimistic in the face of adversary. It is not impossible that you will encounter a few problems along the way, but what's more important is how you relate to the situation in a positive light. Be conscious about what's happening and act to alleviate the effects. If every you need support with any of this then take advantage of the amazing benefits of having a personal development consultant.

Just Imagine, You Can Experience a Whole New Life NOW

© February 2012

You’ve probably heard, "The only time we have is now, this our present moment." So this means that we can only live in the present, act in the present and experience life in the present moment. You may be asking, "If this is the case then why do I have so many problems in my life?"

Everything that happens in our life is created by a choice we made – consciously or unconsciously – via the thoughts and beliefs that we are holding in the present moment. The past is really only a memory of the past. If we dwell in the past we continue to bring forward the same past experiences whether good or bad by putting energy into them in the present moment. Our future, the things we desire, our plans or even things we are dreading are still all created in our present, right now, state of mind. This means that we can only experience joy in this now moment of time. A happy memory is really only a present feeling of happiness stimulated by thinking about the past and the only pain we can experience is the pain of the present moment. A painful memory brings forth pain and sadness that we experience in our now.

If we can get the present moment right by experiencing peace, harmony, joy, love and happiness in our now – our past and future problems will take care of themselves.

You may be asking, "How can this be possible?"

We need to monitor our habitual thinking patterns as these form our beliefs thus create our now experience. What we think about internally we bring about externally. Some people think constantly about all sorts of unpleasant things that might happen to them. They imagine quarrels, injustices, accidents, misfortunes of every kind and because they invested so much time imagining them, they truly believe them and most of what they created in their mind will be created in their life experience.

Your thoughts and images should be focused on only those things you would really like to come to fruition in your own life. Anything good is possible just as all the negative imaginings are possible. Make today the beginning of your new life. Imagine that you are living your dream life now. Remember you only have this present moment and it is this present moment that creates your next present moment.

Begin by imagining that you have no fear and nothing can stop you from doing whatever it is that makes your heart sing. Imagine that you are healthy, peaceful, giving, happy and kind to everyone you meet. Imagine all your relationships are healthy and they bring to each of you love and joy. Imagine you have the perfect job, the one that was designed by your soul; it nourishes your creativity and brings joy to your heart. It provides the money you need to not only survive the earth plane but thrive! To be happy, act happy!

Begin to see everything in your experience with a whole new set of eyes. When you view a discarded bag of Burger King on the sidewalk instead of becoming angry that someone littered; pick it up and as you throw it into the garbage give thanks that someone was blessed to eat today. View the world as kind and filled with love. Be love and see love.

When you find love in everything … your present moment will be filled with love. Every minute of every day we create in our now moment. You have the power within you to suffer in pain or live with joy, what will you continually choose?

With Love and Tremendous Gratitude, Many Blessings! Namaste,

Getting Down To Essentials

"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials."

-- Lin Yutang

Do you feel a desire to simplify your life?

If you say "yes," then set an intention to reduce the demands, stimuli, interruptions and busyness in your life. We each have the power to do this .. we simply have to begin to say "no" to those activities that don't directly serve what we want for our lives.

Everyone of this planet deserves to have some free time to think, relax and have fun. If you long for this, begin now to clear your plate and allow a new level of experience to happen in your life. Take charge. Eliminate time wasters. Make some decisions about what matters to you.

"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak."

-- Hans Hofmann

Inspirational Message

God's Plan for your life means adventures
And choices to make on your own...
And though you may
sometimes feel lonely,
You'll never be truly alone---
For all through your life
will be people
Remembering you in their prayers,
And every time you face a challenge,
You'll know there is
Someone who cares.
He'll stay close beside you
through good times...
In bad times,
He'll carry you through...
So always remember that Someone
is always remembering you.

~L. Barnes

Feeling Safe

"Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."

-- Dinah Craik

We cherish our best friends and our special communities because we feel safe to be vulnerable when we're in their embrace. And yet I have discovered that as long as I identify with my self-image, with my ego, there's no safety possible anywhere. When the ego is on watch, even a dear friend's truth may trigger reactions like anxiety, self-criticism and fear.

The only true safety exists in living the truth of our soul, our essence.

"Open your body and your mind to the subtler levels of experience, letting go of your attempt to control, to be right, not worrying about appearances, not trying to be safe."

-- Stephen Levine
