What we are born to do

Spiritual resource to share: hope



No doubt this was one of the most watched web videos this year.
Watch this and share why this inspires you so. Of course, I am assuming it will, simply because I have watched it numerous times and I still get a rush of inspiration every time I see it.

It reminds me that

• beauty is everywhere.
• achieving those things most secretly cherished is possible.
• diligence and perseverance = success.
• we can expect surprises.
• we are all born with purpose to do great things.

The popularity of this video is so enouraging. It connects us with universal ideas that we ALL agree on. I just took a mere five minutes to find ideas from MBEddy's Science and Health to fine tune some of the inspiration I've felt from this clip. Five minutes! Think of how many more ideas I could share here if I did ten, fifteen, twenty!

Knowledge that we can accomplish the good we hope for, stimulates the system to act in the direction which Mind points out.

Mind is not necessarily dependent upon educational processes. It possesses of itself all beauty and poetry, and the power of expressing them. .... We are all capable of more than we do.

....self-denial, sincerity, Christianity, and persistence alone win the prize, as they usually do in every department of life.

Science reveals the glorious possibilities of immortal man, forever unlimited by the mortal senses.

Now, add your comments and then go out and shine! Also see my buddy blogger's post on this same clip.

for the love of good, hard work

Spiritual resource to share: diligence

My years of studying dance instilled in me a love of hard work. The hard work of dance starts small. Attention to detail is realized in the working, stretching and toning every muscle. Then the next step is to bring it into the discipline of the choreagrapher's creative phrases of movement. And finally, blending that together with the movements of other dancers and music, and voila! you end up with a performance!

So this cold and sunny morning, looking out my window at the melting snow and barely visible buds on my trees, I am reminded that in my morning prayer, I start small with a humble heart. Prayer (that open, receptive connection to all that is Good) leads me upward and onward through the day. Throughout the day I am weighing my thoughts, discarding what is not progressive, taking in what is good. My whole day is an active expression of forward movement, revealing more about God and myself each step. I am mindful to do God's will, follow Her choreagraphy, blend it with others. Soon the day is full of opportunities.

Here are some morning thoughts:

In the figurative transmission from the divine thought to the human, diligence, promptness, and perseverance are likened to "the cattle upon a thousand hills." They carry the baggage of stern resolve, and keep pace with highest purpose.

...prayer, coupled with a fervent habitual desire to know and do the will of God, will bring us into all Truth.

Be of good cheer; the warfare with one's self is grand; it gives one plenty of employment, and the divine Principle worketh with you, — and obedience crowns persistent effort with everlasting victory. -Miscellaneous Writings by Mary Baker Eddy 118:24

...but to begin aright and to continue the strife of demonstrating the great problem of being, is doing much.

Have a good week!
