Great and Small

THE WHOLE IS IN EVERY PART

Most people wish to be great by accomplishing some great ideal or goal which everyone will admire.

But a person who is really great is great in everything that he does, no matter how small.

Do you think God takes less care in creating and designing a tiny flower than he does a mountain or a galaxy?

The greatness of God is in the least of things as it is in the largest of things.

But most human beings neglect the particular details of their life because they erroneously believe that they are unimportant.

They will ignore playing with their child because they have an important meeting with a business man.

They will neglect to say hello to their postman because they falsely believe it is unimportant.

But the truth is that the whole is in every part. If we neglect the particular details, the whole will be imperfect.

HOW TO BECOME GREAT

If you want to become a great and admired person in the world, begin by being great in the particular details of your life.

When you say hello, be sincere.

When you wash the dishes, do it with joy and pride.

It is not what is to be done that causes things to be difficult; it is your attitude towards what you do.

If you choose to believe that doing the dishes is just a demeaning and unimportant chore; it will be an impossible task.

In contrast, if you believe that it is part of your greater ideal and you do it with joy , it will become child's play.

Keep your greater ideal in mind as you perform the particular actions of your day. Remember that these small actions, if they are done with joy and gratitude, are advancing you towards your greater goal.

Be great in the particular details of your life and, pretty soon, you will be great in the general form of your life.

A great puzzle is made of hundreds of small pieces; a great life is composed of hundreds of perfect actions.

HOW TO BECOME RICH

If you want to become rich; act as if you were already rich in the particular details of your life.

This does not mean that you should be wasteful or arrogant; it means that you should be generous, giving, carefree, forgiving and grateful.

A wealthy person does not worry about money because he knows that the universe is giving and abundant.

A wealthy person is always trying to find ways to be useful and helpful to others. This is how he became wealthy in the first place.

A wealthy person forgives every one their debts and trespasses. He does not waste his time and energy holding grudges, being resentful or envious.

A wealthy person attracts abundance by giving of himself. He does not desire very much because he is rich in his inner self. And this wealth is automatically manifested in his outer life.

A wealthy person is continually grateful to the infinite source of Good. And, by being grateful, his being is always connected to the flow of infinite abundance.

By his being, a wealthy man becomes a magnet for all that is good and useful.

HOW TO BECOME WELL

If you want to heal and be healthy; act as if you are already healthy in the particular details of your life.

A healthy person does not think about his health because he is too busy realizing his ideal or purpose. He does not interfere with the intelligent work of his cells.

A healthy person does not worry about his health because he knows that God must keep his body healthy if he is to realize his purpose.

A healthy person is always trying to find ways to heal others.

A healthy person makes sure that his subconscious is clear by admitting his mistakes, forgiving himself and others.

A healthy person stays healthy by learning and understanding the Laws of Heaven.

A healthy person stays healthy by living in accordance with the Laws of Heaven.

A healthy person is continually grateful to the source of healing and immunity. And, by being grateful, he attracts healing, health and protection.

BE JOYFUL IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO

If you are not joyful in the PRESENT NOW, you will never be happy.

Most people hope to be happy when they will have a lot of money, when they will be completely healthy or when they will have achieved their goal.

But these are all illusions of your ego; you can only be joyful NOW because now is the only Reality.

Be grateful and joyful for the small blessings in your life and you will attract the greater blessings automatically.

Most people ignore the present reality because they are too busy chasing the illusions in their mind.

They are rushing to work so they can accummulate money or fulfill their goal. They say to themselves: "I will be happy when I have this much money, when I reach this position, when I get married, when I have children, when I achieve my goal."

Meanwhile, they are wasting their life.

To be alive is to be joyful and greatful in the present moment.

When we are worrying about our lack of money, our lack of health and our unfulfilled goal, we are sowing the seeds of negativity and attracting the very conditions we wish to transform.

By being joyful and grateful for what we have now, we are sowing the seeds of abundance and attracting more abundance into our life.

We must have faith that our ideal will be realized and be joyful and grateful NOW.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION

Divine Love realizes itself infinitely; it is always growing and expanding.

Our life is an expression of Divine Love.

Our joy does not only come from manifesting or realizing a goal; it comes from the creative process of realizing it.

After we realize one goal, we must think of another; this is how we continuously generate joy in our life.

Something that is infinite is always growing.

The universe continually creates new beings because God's love is infinite.

We continually realize Divine Love by being grateful, creative, joyful and useful NOW.

This is what it means to be ALIVE.
