Psalm 119:105
King James Version (KJV)

My comment:

Perhaps our words can help someone along their path in life. Think before you speak. Sometimes a kind word can make all the difference to someone. Sometimes your words can be a lamp for a person’s feet.

Then the monkey pinched the end, and effortlessly extracted a perfectly peeled banana.

It turns out, of course, that the monkey wasn’t wrong. Rather, because Jimmy had always only seen a banana peeled from the stem, in the same way that we’ve all always seen a banana peeled for as long as we can remember, Jimmy assumed that there was only one way to peel a banana. But there are at least two, and both do what they need to do quite well: they produce fruit.”

My comments:

Sometimes we get used to something done a certain way.. so much so that we can’t imagine it being done any other way! Take the story above and replace bananas with another object or even a concept. You may be intrigued by some new insight.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Psalm 91:4
King James Version (KJV)

I came across this picture on Tumblr then saw the verse separately. I felt compelled to put them together..LOL.

A reply asked “Why?”

So upon delving into mind why I said that,
I’ve come up with the following answer.

It is time to spread my wings.

I need to learn to stand by my words, ideas, convictions
and not let the fear of other people’s impressions
hold me back from expressing myself.

I need to learn to deflect attacks and not take them personally;
to build a thicker skin as I wade into deeper waters.

I need to learn to accept that there will be those who disagree with me
and that does not invalidate my view or have any bearing on my value
as a person (and, especially, upon my soul.)

It is time to test myself… take all my experiences and use them
to push against my own boundaries.

It is time to lose the fear or face the fear.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book clarified and enhanced my knowledge of LOA (Law of Attraction). Mr. Hairfield tells his story of his years with the monks and what they taught him in a fluid style. LOA is just one of the 12 principles reviewed within. To truly understand LOA, you need to learn about the other principles and how they all work together. If you want to understand more about LOA and how it really works, this book is for you.

“…in each instance you did NOT fear the “reality” that was right in front of you in the moment of now, but the negative expectation— thought— of what bad thing might happen next.”
