Native American Wisdom: You Are In Control of Your Destiny

Find your center. Quiet your mind and seek the song of your heart.

You are connected with everyone and everything in the world. Each choice you make causes a ripple that reaches out farther and farther … far beyond what your eye can see or your mind can imagine.

In that endless vibration the energy of your every thought, your every action, your every emotion connects with the entire world.

What vibrations do you wish to send out?

You are in control of your destiny, whether you choose to shape your world and your life, or to be shaped by the expectations and limits of others.

Take care in the choices you make, in the responses that you choose, in the emotions that you generate. You have great power!

What doors do you wish to open? What do you notice and choose to appreciate on your walk of life?

Change … even of one small thing in your life, creates that ripple that unravels the sameness of your world. Your unique light rises and grows.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Those who dare to climb higher can see much farther ... what do you seek?” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Stand in the light of your own choosing. Take time to remember the best moments you have experienced … when you laughed, when you smiled, when you connected in love and joy with others.

Remember … and return to that space. Walk gently … in awe of the moment.

There! In that space you have the calmness of the moment, the lightness of your heart, that you were created to experience.

Take a breath! Let the illusions slip away. See that your life does not need to be complicated to be beautiful.

Listen to the quiet music of the natural world around you. Believe in your power … in the gifts within you that are made manifest in the arising moment.

Stop for a moment … and wonder!

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Celebrate the Moments of Your Life

Bring your full presence to all that you do.

Release the distractions that seek to steal your energy, your attention.

Seek discernment to understand what actions are wise for you to take, which directions call you.

Commit to bring your whole heart, your whole mind … your whole self … to all that you do, all that you say, all that you think.

What you focus on expands.

What do you choose to focus upon?

Do not discard the moments of your life! All that you do has value — if you open yourself to wonder … if you wander with gentle purpose.

Life is FOR you!

Our Wisdom Keepers are the holders of the history of the heart of our community. Listen carefully.

Consider this week’s quote:

“You have the power to choose what takes up space in your heart -- Choose carefully” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Extend a caring hand to those around you. Some have burdens you can see, and others bear burdens of the heart and spirit which are invisible to the eye. Only the heart can connect with those wounds.

Open your heart.

Seek the rightness of the actions around you. This creates a people of strong hearts.

Connect with the natural world around you! That is your birthright … your ability to sing, to dance, to breathe in joy.

Choose kindness. Choose the true strength of your spirit.

The choices you make create a bridge to the parts of your mind which are easily distracted. Celebrate the wisdom of your spirit!

You have immense and wonderful gifts! Look within yourself … discover who you are created to be!

Native American Wisdom: Laughter is Your Heart Singing

Walk your path with honor and respect.

Not because that is your only purpose, but because it is your highest purpose … the bent of your nature, given to you by the Creator.

Look within yourself … deep into the quiet places of your heart. Seek calm and peace, aware of the elements surrounding you … flowing through you.

In those quiet spaces between your breaths, your guides whisper. Listen gently, in reverence.

Quiet the shouting of your outer world, step away from the chaos that beckons.

Settle into the center of the circle of your spirit.

You will know, you will be guided, in just the right way — at just the right time — to take the perfect action. To speak one true word. To acknowledge the gift that you are.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Remember to celebrate every day. You are loved. You matter. You were born for this time” - Native American wisdom quote from Terri TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Laugh often! Laughter is your heart singing with the Creator.

Your most sacred gifts are doorways to connect with the Great Mystery.

The interpretation of symbols, visions and dreams becomes a part of you, a thread in the growing tapestry of the picture of your life.

Walk gently. Speak quietly. Allow your heart to shine its light outward.

You are called forward. You are a treasured gift!

Native American Wisdom: Seek Your Life Response Deep Within

Set your mind free.

Often, the mind is entrapped by the expectations … the limitations … of the world. You are a greater being than that!

Use your best for expression of beauty … of levity … of light-heartedness. Create memorable moments as you walk the path of your life.

Build upon each moment, creating your beautiful life as you go. There, you have no limits. The world cannot dictate to you a small way of being … when you are centered in your circle.

Our Wisdom Keepers tell us, we each have the power to create the life we were meant to live, the joy we were meant to experience.

When you give away your moments, thinking there will always be more, you diminish your being, you lessen your purpose.

Focus on the beauty within you! Life is precious!

Give yourself memorable moments. Nurture your heart. Let your eyes delight in the colors around you; feel the dance of the breeze against your skin.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Don’t dream your life. Live your dreams” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Stop! Breathe into the moment. Just watch … listen.

Ask yourself, deep within, what is being revealed to you. Only then, begin your response.

Train your mind to seek the joy of the moment! There IS more. Choose to follow your true purpose.

Seek food for your heart. Feed your soul as you nourish your being … each day.

In your love of life … choose to laugh. Choose to smile. Choose to be light-hearted.

When you truly live your dreams — every day — you connect with the deepest essence of your heart.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Your Focus Is the Prism of Your Life

You were created by design. Every cell of your being was fashioned with love.

Everything originates from one point, from one Source … connected directly to the Maker. In your connection, you, too, are sacred. And everyone and everything around you is also sacred.

Take care. Handle what is sacred with honor and reverence! Including the sacred being you observe in your mirror.

Our Wisdom Keepers say, your energy affects everything around you.

Your life is a progression along the Medicine Wheel. Circles expand along your journey. You move through sunlight and delightful visions, as well as storms, as your life progresses.

Your focus is the prism through which the moments of your life are seen. Your focus is your alignment with your True Purpose.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Stop! Breathe into the moment! That experience is your connection with heaven on earth” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

You were placed here as an expression of unique beauty and limitless love.

Listen! Hear the power of your inner thoughts, your inner purpose.

Your greatest treasure comes from your ability to create memories, to appreciate singular experiences.

In them are your greatest joys, your greatest loves, your greatest happiness.

Become diligent in bringing yourself back, over and over again, to that place of abundance.

Your very presence upon this earth is part of the Great Mystery’s wonderful design. There is a hero in every moment, every event.

You are a hero, by your very existence!

Native American Wisdom: Listen to What Your Heart Knows

Seek the deepest parts of your heart and your spirit when the world around you is chaotic and confusing.

Learn to discern fact from illusion. Listen to what your heart knows.

Serenade your soul!

Challenge yourself to find creative ways to nurture it. To enrich your life by allowing space for revelations to come.

Breathe into life. Remember … Life is for you.

Breathe in all that is new … embrace the beauty of infinite possibility which you have yet to experience.

Our Wisdom Keepers say that all you have experienced becomes Wisdom. See what you have gained from walking the paths of your life. Embrace those things and lay down the burdens you have carried.

Consider this week’s quote:

“No one knows your strengths better than yourself. You have the capacity to make a new choice” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Open space within yourself to develop a relationship with your heart.

That is where your power is. That is where your discernment is. That is where your true gifts lie.

Be open to the gentleness of love, and understand that in that space is your center … your True Purpose.

Remember the gift of curiosity from your childhood. Seek again the wonder of “why?”

In that space your heart invites you to live life to the fullest … to live through the power of your heart.

Sometimes the strongest teachings are given in a whisper.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Open the Door to Your Heart

Breathe into the moment!

Pray. Be humble. Walk a good journey on this earth.

Words empower or disempower.

In their origin, they were never meant to harm. Over time, their use has been corrupted and further from the truth. They became weapons.

Seek the truth of your voice, your words. Look deep and connect with the power within you. Choose words that empower you … that enlighten you … that reach out to enlighten and empower others.

There is your opportunity to realize your truth, and your power.

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us, we are creatures of habit. We often draw our swords of words, and cut deeply, leaving hurtful wounds and scars.

To learn from that moment is to consciously choose to change — to realize how powerful you are. You can light the world, or cause the light of others to dim.

When you plant the seed of kindness, and nurture it with prayer and lightheartedness, your light grows. Embrace the gift of your heart!

Light and joy come straight from your heart. Open the door of your heart. Laugh more. Taste more. Love more.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Take time to weigh the words you choose to embrace. Hate and hurt are not natural to the spirit” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Care for one another! Look carefully and see the light, the spark growing in others.

You are here for a reason … to love and to be loved. You are given the gift to see others as unique beings — and to know that you are unique as well.

Each of us is as different as a snowflake or a star.

Your uniqueness is key to discovering the great puzzle within you. Explore there! We are all explorers.

If you want to change the world, change how you see the world. Do not let old stories overshadow how you see the world.

Challenge your mind to see the beauty of the moment. In that space, you are connected, physically and spiritually, with what is seen and what is unseen.

Focus on how wonderful it is to carry the light you were born with. Find the joy and beauty around you.

Decide to be a little lighter in your life … and create a spark with your smile.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Celebrate Your Achievements

Let go of things which weigh you down, which no longer serve you.

Become lighter as you continue your journey.

Be mindful of the trees in the forest, which drop their leaves at the appropriate time, to become lighter to sway with the changing seasons.

Or, consider the evergreens, which always keep their leaves wrapped close, to capture the taste of new snow, to sing to the wind. They are strong and patient!

Our Wisdom Keepers say, seek those things which support your being, which enhance your inner strength … which brighten your light and joy. Seek light-heartedness as your path.

Explore new paths before you!

Awaken to what you were born to do. Each thing you attempt along your way guides you closer and closer toward the mastery of your life.

Realize that you are always at choice in the path you choose … difficult and steep; easy and gentle.

Consider this week’s quote:

“You were born already deserving ... it is your birthright to attain all that you richly deserve” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Choose to love. Choose to laugh. Seek out others who do so as well. Celebrate the discoveries of those who rise to something great, after believing they did not have the skill or power.

Notice when you reach farther … walk a higher path. Know that your achievements are celebrated.

Stand in the light of your creation … wrap yourself in the great love which was yours before you drew your first breath.

Within your heart your divine instruction is written. Your essence, the core of your very Being holds your true innocence, your connection with All That Is.

Laugh daily! Give thanks to all around you which supports you on your journey.

As the lines of your face tell of your life experience, your laughter and joy will shine through them.

From this day forward, seek what brightens your gaze, what delights your ear, what brings you joy.

Life is sweet!

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Imagine A New Reason For Living

You were created to seek beauty and light.

Fear keeps you from taking a step, holds you where you were yesterday. It keeps you small.

You were designed for greatness.

Use your life to create your perfect destiny, to see your perfect vision. When you are there, you can see farther than most.

Our Wisdom Keepers say, the story you choose guides you. When you are in balance, aware of yourself, you are centered, creating the story of your life in joy.

The more you choose to seek that … to reside there … the greater your courage becomes.

When you choose your path, you walk with care.

Immerse yourself with positive people. Enlighten yourself with the visions of beauty which cross your path.

Consider this week’s quote:

"Are you willing to step up to the plate of your own goodness?" - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Give thanks.

Open your heart. Quiet your mind. You were born for greatness.

You have great power, great yearning within you. Imagination sets that free.

Imagine … outcomes which will empower you, uplift you, stream light and abundance toward you.

Become the catalyst for your own change, your own growth. Train yourself to believe. Live in love, in happiness, in joy.

Choose your intention. Let go of things which do not honor who you are. Choose the story the Creator tells of you.

Listen … to your dreams, to your thoughts, and to the spaces between the words where wisdom resides.

Let that be your guide! Your path leads toward your brightest star.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: True Abundance Is a Place of Being

You are an explorer, living in abundance!

You were created to follow your heart … to invest your life in seeking your True Purpose.

Take one step and see how your heart feels about it. Listen to the wisdom of your heart — it will allow you to learn what you have been chosen to do.

Wisdom of the heart is deep wisdom … deeper than any ocean.

Love is infinite; so is Wisdom.

Knowing that this valuable source is within you is how you expand into your choice. Your well-being is your choice.

Our Wisdom Keepers say that the strength of the tribe comes from consistent encouragement, consistent laughter — even amid frustration or anger. When each one is encouraged to take a step along a new path, learning new things, all grow … all expand.

True abundance cannot be defined by numbers … it is a place of being, a way of thinking … sharing constant expressions of gratitude with others.

When you are On Purpose, in that divine charge, you are aligned with what the Maker has designed you to do. In that space, everything is good.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Feed the flames of love with kindness and care, until it becomes a habit . How you do one thing is how you do all things” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

The bird knows the wind because it was born to fly. It knows that the wind is also connected to the Maker.

Like the bird, all you need to do is to attune yourself to the quiet voice of the Maker within you.

Your heart knows that the true power resides in those things you cannot see.

Listen with your heart to find your true connections. Life is for love … for contemplation, for discoveries, for surprises.

Listen to the songs of all creation … watch and learn. Open your heart to kindness.

When you are centered in your heart, chaos cannot prevail.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!
