Cheerful, even mind
Willingly serve the Divine
Eat less, love God more.

Whatever we give our attention to - that is our ‘god’. Whether we worship god as food at the alter of the dining room table or we worship something else …it behooves us to look at that ‘something else’. Then ask, Is this what I really want as foremost in importance in this life?
As we begin to make better, more life affirming choices in our lives, the other ‘something else’ stuff will naturally fall away. This does not mean to be lackadasical in choices and actions. Focused prayerful intention coupled with determination will take us in the direction of our true heart.
We each come in with our battles to fight. Let us be warriors, with love in vanguard carrying good cheer and even mind through our day, through our life.

WE GOT THIS.

“No one has ever heard of a sad saint or a saint with a funeral face. Unheard of! It would be a contradiction.”

“If you can be cheerful and even-minded in all circumstances, and do all things willingly, you can be mentally ever youthful. If, in addition, you obey health laws, and use your will to draw on the infinite cosmic energy, you can promote vital youthfulness in the body. And, above all, if you know that your are immortal, made in the image of God, your whole being will glow with that eternal youthfulness ….”
Paramahansa Yogananda
How to Express Everlasting Youthfulness  / Journey to Self Realization, page 14

Eat food, enjoy food, don’t let food eat you . . . . . . This is a painting I did a few years back. Probably about 2014. The words came from a CD lecture by a Self Realization Fellowship brother. I do not remember the CD or the brother’s name. He did not quote a source of the words. So . . . . (if anyone knows – let me know)
