Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

temerity

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

“Eyes exuding sincerity,

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

Seek - but Where?

Why do we continue to seek outside our Self for something which is not there? Acceptance, approval, True love, stability, may only be found within. The discovery of Self leads to the grounding we seek. Yes, seek and ye shall find - however we must know where to look.
Yet we continue to grasp at straws moving from one to the next seeking that which is not there. The grounding, stability we seek is within. We shall never be satisfied by that which is without, suffering continual turmoil as we allow ego to destroy the very things sent to help us. We become victims of an emotional tempest tossed to and fro in a sea of emptiness and heartache.

Peace, joy, love, all we seek, and that which we truly are, lays within.
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, (life principles), and all these things shall be added unto you."
I am reminded of a line from a great hymn of years gone by; "On Christ, (his teachings of universal laws), the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand."

"Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.
Tempest-tossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does but sleep: wake Him. Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"

Excerpt From: Allen, James. "As a Man Thinketh."


My mission - purpose - is to assist others to achieve a higher quality of life and understanding - realizing their passions and purpose in life through gaining clarity of thought and definiteness of purpose.

    1. Thank you for this great question.
      Love, joy, anger, jealousy. All are words - labels we attach to emotions. Emotion, or frequency, is what is responsible for what we attract back to us. So it is not the concept of love however the emotional frequency of what we call love which is responsible. The emotion of True Spirit Love is quite different than the false ego based love and will attract very different circumstances.
