Enlightenment

One of the Triple E goals of this daily blog

http://www.theencouragingword.co

is Encouragement as I ever intend to share something that is Entertaining, Enlightening, and Encouraging.

This morning in his daily Notes From the Universe email, my friend Mike Dooley had a great quote about enlightenment:

There is a big difference between the word “strive” (the word I first thought to use above) and “intend” (the word I did use.) Words like thoughts matter and we should as Mike suggests choose the good or best ones in both cases.

One of the greatest things that we need to undo to set ourselves up for true enlightenment is to cease striving and start trusting our loving and infinite source, our higher best self, to provide everything that we could ever want or need.

Someone has said that worrying is taking responsibility for things that are above our pay grade. I think Bobby McFerrin says it best in Don’t Worry Be Happy. Happy, now that is not above our pay grade. We can do happy.

Your friend and fellow traveler,

Don’t Worry Be Happy

Authors Note regarding today’s Picture Quote:

I tried to find something to express a line that I recall from a song from Beauty and the Beast that says, “Undo what’s done and bring back the light.”

But all the pictures quotes that I found kept expressing the same misunderstanding, “ We can’t undo what’s done.” Of course we can. Actually “can’t undo” is a double negative and that makes it a positive. And as far as not being able to change the past, enlightenment or shedding light always does that too. Worry, doom, and gloom always give way and are transformed by light. What do you say, let’s undo what’s done and bring back the light.
