Uplift Yourself #5

Greetings.
I am the 5th in a group of circulating Seeds for Upliftment. From a whole variety of sources we include selected bits and pieces that can be as catalysts to have you feeling more of the joyful happy presence of your higher nature, this makes for a better day.
Use these Seeds to help you feel connected to the peace and goodness of your higher nature. This can bring more acceptance and understandings of oneself, of others and how best to deal with the problems of life. You can use the insights of others to help bring more tolerance and more caring compassion (love) as the primary components for enhancing the friendships and goodwill around your space.
Use common sense, do not blindly believe any of these statements. Use anything new or challenging as questions to ponder over and test things out to see what works for you – if something is too far out then just let it go for now. When acceptance and upliftment are present the rewards and benefits will be as blessings for all of humanity, for being all connected as one, any person’s upliftment is an upliftment for the whole human family. If there is anything here that has you feeling good, then consider writing it in a little book to carry and read often – keep adding to it. Re-read bits when you want to feel your inner strengths, your own joyful happy essence of peaceful goodness.

What does the world need more than anything else
today – It doesn’t seem to be more technical
knowledge. We build rockets, we solve scientific
problems and we transplant human organs. What do
we need more than all of this? We need brotherhood,
understanding and love. You can make yourself into the
kind of person who can spread this love around.
Nothing can be more important in the world than that.
And when you know that you are a faith-building,
cheer-spreading, hope-generating, encouragement-
offering person, you will know how wonderful you are.
Teach people this truth, and you build self-love within
them. Robert Schuller

*******
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from
success; we often discover what will do, by finding out
what will not do; and probably he who never made a
mistake never made a discovery. Samuel Smiles.

*******
The only safe and sure way to destroy enemies is to
make them your friend.

*******
Why destroy your present happiness by a distant
misery, which may never come at all? For every
substantial grief has twenty shadows and most of the
shadows are of your own making. Sydney Smith.

Never Say Die
A passenger was terribly seasick on the ship deck.
A steward came along and said, “Cheer up, sir. No man
ever died of seasickness.” The sick man “Please don’t
say that. It’s he hope of dying that has kept me alive
so far.” No matter how discouraging a situation you
may be in, never give up hope. Where there is life
there is hope. Paul Osumi

*******
WRITE YOURSELF A LOVE LETTER…
Ridiculous! you say – who ever heard of sending a love-
letter to oneself? Everyone loves to receive a letter or a
card – and why not from yourself? Does it sound so silly to
your to tell yourself “I love you – I appreciate you?” Well,
perhaps it does sound a little unusual, but really, it is quite
important that we love and respect the self.
Most people discredit themselves, criticise themselves,
even dislike themselves and
think of themselves as
unworthy, for many different reasons. But we do have the
privilege and the choice to forgive ourselves and start to
love ourselves. We have been given the power to love, to
think and be creative – to draw upon the knowledge that is
within us, and to accept the truth of our own being.
So, send yourself a love-letter,
tell yourself : “I love you.”
Tell yourself what you appreciate about yourself.
Acknowledge yourself for the good you do, the positive
qualities and strengths you have, the things that you feel
proud about. The more you learn to love and accept
yourself, the more you can love others. Every person can
love their own self by respecting themself and by forgiving
themself for past mistakes.

Man seeks to satisfy his desires with the least of effort.
People are always looking for shortcuts. Each one secretly
wants to know how he can change his life without too much
effort on his part.
Now, I’ll tell you a shortcut : A person who wants to change
his life for the better has only to change his attitude.
Jack Addington

*******
And in a sense love is everything! It is the key to life, and
it’s influences are those that move the world. Live only in
the thought of love for all and you will draw love to you
from all. Ralph Waldo Trine

I hope you have found something uplifting here. Now I want the chance to uplift as many other people as I can reach to. I want to travel on and on all over the world because uplifting thoughts can shift ones attention to their higher nature and this is the human dimension where we feel the presence of joy, the happy feelings that make life seem better. If you believe that this is something to support, then you can help me to achieve my potential. Please keep me circulating by passing me onto someone else, anywhere in the world. I hope that on every stopover I can bring some encouragement and nice uplifting feelings of the inner peace and goodness and to leave each location better off from my being there.
