The Universe Is Smiling: "Protection"

Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: You are protected. It's only a matter of trust.

"The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days."
 - Lao Tzu
"If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital; satisfaction with just enough  food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself form the elements. And finally, there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and in cultivating helpful ones in meditation."
- Dalai Lama

"Write it on your heart that eery day is the best day in the year."

"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."
 - Oprah Winfrey
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
- Eleanor Roosevelt

The Universe Is Smiling: "You are saying... ?"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
"You have beauty and mother earth who supports you," says the caterpillar, "but I have no home and I am sitting on an empty leaf."
The flower, who had gained wisdom by watching the little bugs and birds and flowers in their daily strife, responded with a quote from the Dalai Lama:
"When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need."
"And besides", the flower continued, "you will turn into a beautiful butterfly. So, be patient!"
And then they both quietly enjoyed the morning breeze. 

 

The Universe Is Smiling: "Autumn"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
Today is the beginning of autumn. May your life be as precious and colorful as this season, and may this season bring you beauty in abundance! :)

"Autumn is like a second spring when every leaf is a flower" 
- Albert Camus

The Universe Is Smiling: "Contrast"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:

Q: What is today's wisdom?

A: Let's live our contrasts and contradictions with ease :)

"But someone once described the contrast between a good life and a godly life as the difference between the top of the ocean and the bottom. On top, sometimes it's like glass -- serene and calm -- and other times it's raging and stormy. But hundreds of fathoms below, it is beautiful and consistent, always calm, always peaceful."

- Bill McCartney

The Universe is Smiling: Come Alive!

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:

  

Q: What is today's wisdom?

A: "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

- Howard Truman 

The Universe is Smiling: Present Moment

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:

Q: What is today's wisdom?

A: As you are being suspended between past and future, enjoy the present moment.
 "... For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes
Every yesterday a dream of happiness ..."
- Kalidasa
