Marge's Magic Morsels

Marge's Magic Morsels

 

I was reading some of my philosophies and poems to a friend the other day, and he mentioned that hearing these musings were almost like a meditation and life learning process, which I thought was an interesting observation.  He then suggested that I write down Marge's Magic’s Morsels that would include my life’s experiences and what I learned from them. Writing these Morsels have helped provide me with a more insightful and easier contemplation process for meditation, life learning discoveries and self-growth. 

Hopefully, to make a possible difference in your life, I’m sharing these Morsels in that could evoke insightful and valuable learning lessons for your own self-growth and development.

As I reflect back on my life of 78 years, I understand now how most of my life experiences were about learning how to survive and grow through many of life’s transitions, challenges, lessons and personal transitions.

• Finding out how to protect myself in a controlling environment in my youth.
• Giving up who I am to please others.
• Learning how not to be affected by the outer world.
• Learning to protect my barriers in my relationships with men.
• Living though 2 devastating divorces.
• Raising 3 children alone as I was on welfare.
• Growing into a corporate Human Resources Management position with no formal education.
• Starting my own Career and Life coaching business and making a positive difference in people’s lives.
• Reaching retirement age and not having the financial resources to officially retire.
• Getting past depression and dealing with life in my own way.
• Figuring out where I belong after all these years.
• Separating truth and reality from my idealistic expectations of how things should be.
• Learning through my challenging lessons, and turning my life around.
• Getting older and this side of 78.
• Discovering who I am.
• Finding Nirvana Finally, Being at HOME and in PEACE!

What I know for sure-- Or Marge's Magic Morsels

The subconscious is a powerful but unbiased computer that perfectly and literally carries out any program we feed into it, even if the program is incorrect.  We have at our disposal an efficient, intelligently designed machine that will perform our every bidding, even if we are unaware that the instructions it has received are not in our best interest.  This harsh but dynamic truth brings us to a crucial point:  Because we human beings have free will and machines do not, it is our responsibility and ownership to screen and critically evaluate the programs we imbed in our creative mind, or else we must bear the brunt of faulty programming.

Only incorrect thinking can create problems where none exist—pain is created in the mind!  The answers are in your beliefs; it’s all assumptions. 

The hero you are searching for is you!

You don’t have to know how to get what you want; you just have to know what you want.

So often, you live your life in chains and never even know you have the Key.

Life is but a game…unfortunately, it comes without instructions.

It’s not what you have but what you let them think you have that counts.

It’s not the number of breaths you take but the number of breathtaking moments that you experience.

I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

A true friend is someone who reaches for you hand and touches your heart.

Don’t waste your time on people who aren’t willing to waste their time on you.

Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

Don’t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them.

Nearly every one of us is starving to be appreciated.

You are terrified of being alone because you’re not there for yourself.

It’s hard to be nostalgic when you can’t remember anything.

Marriage is more about skills than romance.

It was time for me to leave the relationship because I was hurting myself.

 

I can be whole on my own.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily LIFE IS BUT A DREAM.

You teach people how to treat you. 

The world shows up the way you expect.

Pain is necessary, Suffering is optional.

Life your life as if your life depended on it. 

How long are you going to wait before you take care of yourself?

Only focus on what is going right…what is working!

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Look for the solutions ‘inside’ instead of outside of yourself.  (The answers are inside).

What you are always seeking is: Yourself.

You can’t receive from someone what you can’t give to Yourself.

No matter how nice you are to a dragon, it will always eat you.

The moment you accept this is the way it is, the transformation has begun.

It takes Courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Just because you’ve been somewhere, doesn’t mean you have to stay.

It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

Think what you have always thought and you will get what you have always gotten.

Let go of your ideas of what your life was supposed to look like.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.

The only thing your ‘worry thoughts’ have the power to change is the next thing

that you worry over!  So, why worry?

Nothing in life has any intrinsic meaning except the meaning we give it.

If you want to get out of the pit, stop digging.

The answers are always inside you, you have everything you need.

What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what.

You define your own life.  Don’t let other people write your script.

Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only YOU can give it power.

You become what you believe.

If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.

Trust your instincts.  Intuition does not lie.

Love doesn’t hurt.  It feels really good.

When you don’t know what to do, be still.  The answer will come.

This too shall pass………………

Stop trying to figure it all out.

Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain.  Take responsibility for your own feelings.

‘No’ and ‘Know’ sound the same.

Super heroes were born in the minds of people desperate to be rescued.

When does the good you do, not do you any good anymore?

The more people complain about their unwanted circumstances in life, the less likely they are to do anything to change them.

Your outer reality is a direct reflection of how you feel about yourself.  

Life might not be the party you hoped for, but while you are here, you might as well dance.

Be yourself, everybody else is taken.

Know yourself, and to thine own self be true.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

What other people think of you is none of your business.

However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

Don’t take yourself so seriously.  No one else does.

Always be good to you first; then be good to others.

Trust yourself and question your beliefs.

Stop trying to fix yourself.  You are ok just the way you are!

You no longer have to believe you are broken.

Something powerful happens when you stop fighting the way things are.

You are not who you think you are…what a relief!

Once you know what you believe, then you can begin to question whether it is true.

How many times do you have to fall flat on your face before you learn to keep your mouth shut? 

Strengthening your self-esteem means examining the old scripts your families and society have handed you and knowing that you created yourself under their influence.

The quality of your life is determined by producing the results you want.

It takes great courage to faithfully follow what you know to be true.

If you don’t know what you’re looking for, it’s really hard to find it.

A person’s greatest need is to feel appreciated.

Dependence is slavery by mutual agreement.

It doesn’t matter how fast you get there if you’re headed in the wrong direction.

Everyone is a reflection of you.

Your happiness is not determined by outside sources.

Your reality is only a reflection of your thoughts.

How can you be happy?  By identifying with spirit rather than ego, and enjoying the game of life – played by ego – as a Game!

Running from you is the fastest way to get nowhere.

You cannot live or see or experience outside of your own individual beliefs. 

You don’t have to know how to get what you want; you just have to KNOW what you want.

They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Fear is a friend come to give you an important message.

Be who you are and say what you feel…because those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter.  

Do unto others as they would have you do unto them, or treat others as they wish to be treated.

No one can hurt you without your permission.

Don’t ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet.

Never fly off the handle when you know you’re full of it.
