51 Career Affirmations

man-3365368_640This blog has been a long time in coming. I’ve been posting Career Affirmations on Twitter for a long time, but I have never compiled them in a blog. A friend of mine on Twitter who is currently looking for a new job inspired me to finally do it.

Looking for a new job is like looking for a new relationship. We don’t do it all the time and when we do, we’re a little out of practice. Other people are happy in their current job, but want to make it more fulfilling.

These affirmations are written to help you build the confidence that can and you will find the right job for you or the fulfillment you seek in your current job.

Attract your perfect career while you work, drive, or at the gym. Audio affirmations are the perfect way to infuse your mind with empowering thoughts.

My 15 Favorite Albert Einstein Quotes

Today’s Affirmation:

When I am open to bigger possibilities, I am open to bigger outcomes!

Many think of Albert Einstein as that wild-haired mathematician, physicist, smartest guy of all-time, or the E=MC2 guy. Today many have forgotten that he was also a great thinker, philosopher, statesmen, and advocate for humanity in his time.

His ideas led to massive advances in many fields, including warfare and weaponry – the atomic bomb. He was keenly aware of the responsibility humanity had to use his genius – our genius – wisely.

He had is flaws and his personal problems like the rest of us. To me, that only makes him more human and his genius more approachable.

Today I am sharing my 15 favorite Albert Einstein quotes. Some of them will not be new to you. I hope a few of them will provide new insights into the man and into yourself.

  1. “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
  2. “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
  3. “Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.”
  4. “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
  5. “I speak to everyone the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of a university.”
  6. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
  7. “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
  8. “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.”
  9. “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”
  10. “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.”
  11. “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
  12. “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
  13. “In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.”
  14. “Everything must be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

Finally, Einstein wrote:

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Follow your bliss! Experience your bliss! Become your bliss!

Are YOU the Change YOU Want to See in the World?


Today’s Affirmation:
Today I choose an open heart over a narrow mind.

As you know, I try to keep things on the positive side in this blog. Sometimes, though, certain things need to be said. Hang with me. I promise I bring this back to the positive in the end.

Mark Twain once wrote, “There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.”

I admit to feeling a bit like this in recent days, as I watch the global uproar over the film Innocence of Muslims and, frankly, just the pettiness going on among nations, religions, and people right now. I’m having a a Twain moment this morning and so I decided to write it out and share it with you.

I have a plan for world peace. It involves the kind people of Australia evacuating their fine continent for six months – I figure that’s about what it will take. A free plane to ticket there for every hyper-nationalist, radical (well, you name the religion), political “leader” who loves playing generalissimo, media personality who loves to glorify, excuse, and fan the flames.

The plan is to send all these groups to Australia – all expenses paid. They are allowed to have whatever weapons they want minus chemical, biological, and nuclear.

We let them have their Armageddon Nirvana to their heart’s content – have it out once and for all about who knows the mind of God, who has the only right political or economic ideology.

After six months, we all pitch in and pay to rebuild the beautiful country of Australia and the other 90% of the people on this planet get on about the business of building positive future for humanity.

Admittedly, that plan is probably too expensive and a little mean-spirited – though it gives the angry, violent, and doctrinaire among us precisely what they say they want. A far simpler plan could be to make four simple words our mantra: Live and let live.

I know, I know. It’s crazy difficult not to make films that blatantly disregard other people’s faith. It’s lunatic fringe not to take to the streets and kill innocent people in response. It’s dreamland that two great nations like China and Japan could agree to share islands that lie halfway between them and develop their resources together. It’s out of the question for the leaders of Iran and Israel to show a little humility, humanity, and respect for each other rather than constant threats. It’s silly to think that world’s greatest superpower wouldn’t be involved in covert and not so covert actions to destabilize regions and overthrow governments.

I mean, this is the world we have right now. It’s torn right out of the headlines. Is this the world that you want or I want? Is this the world we want to pass along to our children and grandchildren? Are these the mindsets we want to percolate in our brains bringing us ever new nightmares?

I already know your question. I’m one person. What can I do? You can refuse to participate. Refuse to participate myopic group-think. Refuse to participate in religious, ethnic, or nationalistic acrimony. Refuse to participate in violence that harms other human beings, no matter how they have offended you. Even in your individual life, you can demonstrate respect for those who disagree with you and teach your children to do the same. Hatred is a fire and the first person consumed in that fire is the hater.

There’s a story of a conquering king who went to see a Buddhist monk to see what the most important teaching is. The monk replied, “Do no evil, do only good. Purify your heart.” The king retorted, “Every child of 5 knows that.” “Yes,” replied the monk, “but few men of 80 can live it.”

Let us all work today to be part of the few who do. Let us allow these events to propel us to something better – who we are truly capable of being as people and as a species. Let us cease playing our role in mindless and repeating nighmares that bring suffering to us all.

Every child of five knows this. Are you one of those who will get it before you turn 80?

Peace and prosperity to each and everyone of you!

Ray

17 Quotes About the Future

 

Today’s Affirmation:
The past is the past! My direction is forward, not back!

The astronautWe humans often have such pessimism about the future and about ourselves. That pessimism chains us to old nightmares that keep repeating. We mourn at sunsets and feel helpless to change the momentum of our individual and collective existence.

But, what if we chose to see sunset as beginnings rather than endings? What if we chose to walk away from certainty that chains us to the past and trade it for the uncertainty where possibility and potential live?

Today I am posting 17 quotes focused on helping you to positively focus on the future. While you cannot underestimate the importance of living fully in the now, I believe it is important to create a positive expectation for the future. See new horizons for yourself and for humanity. Too often, our popular media portrays a dark and dangerous future. This probably mirrors the human mental default setting.

It takes work to overcome that and see a bright and positive future. However, we must if we are to live in that future. The future is always a mystery, but never an accident. I hope these quotes will help you prepare for and paint a colorful and empowering future. I am certain you will find at least one quote, if not several, that fire your visions for peaceful, positive, and productive future.

  1. “I’m choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I’m making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.”~ Elizabeth Gilbert

  3. “The best way to predict the future is to event it.”~ Alan Kay
  4. “The minute you alter your perception of yourself and your future, both you and your future begin to change.”~ Marilee Zdenek
  5. “And when the future hinges on the next words that are said, don’t let logic interfere. Believe in your heart instead.”~ Philip Robison
  6. “You keep unconsciously becoming your past, until you consciously choose to become your new future.”~ Ray Davis
  7. “He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.”~ George Orwell
  8. “The future belongs to the risk-takers, not the comfort-seekers.”~ Brian Tracy
  9. “We can become inspired to shape a higher, more ideal future, and when we do, miracles happen.”~ James Redfield
  10. “The future starts today, not tomorrow.”~ Pope John Paul II
  11. “The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps.”~ Carl Sagan
  12. “Take comfort in the future. We worry about what will become of us. Our lives are chaotic like a wave rushing to shore. But every single drop of water in that wave winds up precisely where it belongs, and so do we.”~ Ray Davis
  13. “The past is always tense, the future perfect.”~ Zadie Smith
  14. “You can build the future out of anything. A scrap, a flicker. The desire to go forward, slowly, one foot at a time.”~ Lauren Oliver
  15. “The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.”~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
  16. “Let go of the past and go for the future. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined.”~ Henry David Thoreau
  17. “Your future is only as bright as your mind is open.”~ Rich Wilkins

We are capable of amazing futures, even as we tend to the present. Those futures are born in individual minds and the collective mind, and must be, if we are see them manifest in our world.

Follow your bliss. Experience your bliss. Become your bliss.
