Giving Through My Heart’s Desire

As I see the possibilities for unselfish giving, I am committed to sharing.

Supporting the idea that there is enough for all, I find solutions as I listen within.

I am led to generous sharing of ideas.

I become aware of how others share their talents.

We create an attracting energy which draws us together.

We create a community of uplifting and unselfish ideas.

We share freely.

Everyone is involved in how to expand our good ideas for the most benefit to our community.

We are so satisfied through our giving nature that we are eager for all to experience this feeling of unlimited giving.

Our foundation is our ability to listen within.

We see our personal needs met through our guided tiny steps.

We discover rich ways to contribute to our community.

We share the experience of inner listening so that others may have the freeing experience of having their needs met right where they are, right in front of them.

This feeling of expedited receiving overflows into generosity.

Here is a way which everyone can participate in.

When we have the experience over and over again of being guided to do the right thing at the right time and make harmonious connections, we naturally want everyone to have it.

My heart’s desire is to share the process of inner listening.

It gives everyone access to what they need.

We each hear the tiny steps to take in order to create a more harmonious and uplifting life for ourselves and others.

We see these ways demonstrated in our communities.

We are led to bring others together to share our ideas and work for their implementation.

We see the benefit of expanding our work to include everyone in our community.

We experience the release of fear and the connection to what is good.

Loved Cherished Adored –

Newness Every Day

I experienced a lot of repetition in developing my ability to play a musical instrument on a professional level.  

Each iteration of repetition moved me to a new level of competency.

I learned how to practice with accurate, inspired repetition.

When I would sit down to play, all that build up of accuracy allowed me to play dependably.

It is not always novelty which creates newness.

One semester, a quartet of us met biweekly to practice our sight-reading.

We played through so many string quartets by many composers we had never heard of before.

It gave us a new perspective on the classical music literature which was available to us.

I remember the feeling of newness and excitement as we began our sessions.

We did not rehearse; this was purely to improve our sight-reading.

The basis for being able to do this was the daily repetition of scales and technique.

This was never approached as a boring exercise.

There are so many ways to practice scales and technique in order to build fluency and strength.

I can still feel the sense of commitment as I would sit down, take my deep breath and put bow to strings.

The feeling of laying the foundation for the rest of the practice session, warming up the fingers of the left hand, strengthening the bow arm.

A deep commitment in terms of time, excellence and all those thousands of tiny steps each day.

The ability to practice is indisputably one of the most important skills I have.

I do not argue with myself when I am developing any other new skill.

I  know what it takes. I simply take my deep breath and begin.

This applies to art skills, and study of any kind.

It is rigorous attention which yields results.

My expectation and knowledge of how to build excellence keeps it fresh.
