Native American Wisdom: Live Your Life With Blessing

When you share your light, your own essence shines more brightly.

Seek the path that brings peace to your heart, and allows you to spread its gentle wave across the wounds of others.

Remember that you need not carry the burdens of the world, or repair the tears of its fabric … the Maker is in charge of all. Sees all. Loves and comforts all.

Remember what it is like to live your life with blessing.

Share the food in your cupboards, the delight of laughter and the sight of nature. Those are the sources of your true delight … of your true wealth.

Seek what is truly important. The stone, the carving, the painting, even the sand beneath your moccasins will come and go.

The blessings within your life, stored in the gentle center of our heart, are given to you to bring joy and to share.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Truth always rises to the surface” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

There is enough of everything required for good life, for abundance, for gifts and gratitude. Nowhere in the world is there truly lack.

It only requires a shift in consciousness. Shift. Allow the realization of abundance to dwell within your heart.

Practice gratitude. Acknowledge the blessings of your day, even the tiniest and most “ordinary.”

You are a gift of the Creator. Remember … there is no “ordinary” in creation.

No matter what your circumstances are, you are shielded in gratitude. You are connected directly to the power that created the Universe.

There are no accidents in the Creator’s worlds … you are a divine gift and blessing!

Send out blessings from your heart, and be open to receive.

You are seen … you are heard. You are loved more than you can possibly imagine!

Together we are strong. Together, we can meet and overcome any challenge.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Find Beauty in the Little Things

Take time to count your blessings.

Follow your heart. Stand in the world knowing that you are connected, heart and mind, together with others who follow their hearts.

Seek ways to cooperate, rather than to compete. Find beauty in the little things which come into your path each day.

Stand with clarity in your own light. Remember — you do have a choice! Choose carefully how you live your life.

Whatever you focus upon expands. Let go of old habits which kept you small. Take time to nurture new habits that celebrate your light, your creative presence … your expansion.

Build upon your own foundation of beauty. Trust that you are unique and beautiful, just as you are.

What memories do you carry? Things which brighten your path are light and easy to carry. They remind you to seek joy, to celebrate who you are.

Some memories are heavy. Leave those burdens at the roadside. You have no need of them.

Weigh carefully what you bring on your journey through this world! Your power shines from the gifts of your heart! Your gifts flourish in the light of your presence, in your connection with joy and purpose.

Consider this week’s quote:

“One heart, one mind, one path” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Remember what needs to be fed in your life: the essence of love.

Accept nothing less!

Ask, at each turn, does this feed the essence of my love? If where you are, or what you are doing does not, let it go. Move instead toward that which nurtures you, which feeds that essence within you.

You were created from love … to exist in love … to create shifts and changes by and through your life to increase love.

Continue to gather and let go of things which come into your life. Notice, always, what brings light to your spirit, sweet joy to your heart.

Share that!

Happiness begins within you, not outside you. Happiness is the doorway to your heart. Visit there often! Nurture the stories that expand your laughter, that are the treasures of your happiness.

These are the true treasures of your heart!

Seek the harmony that hums always within your heart. Expand your heart’s voice to resonate into the world. The purpose of harmony is to bring beauty from many voices, many tones.

Connect … heart to heart, in an enormous, radiant blast of love!

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Water is the Life-Blood of Mother Earth

It is also life to all living things here on our sweet, sacred Earth. When we remember that we are here to help one another — and care for the Earth — we are mindful of how precious water is.

Here is a beautiful video that shares the Elder’s teachings of our relationship with water. We invite you to share this with those you love.

Did you sing it? We were taught that women hold the responsibility to sing and pray for the water daily. This is a sweet and simple way to do that!

Here are the words:

Native American Wisdom: Seek Quiet Spaces to Discover Your Life

Who do you stand for? How do you seek justice and equity?

Forgiveness is a powerful healer, soothing the aches and hurts of the heart and of the body.

Walk gently in your life. See both sides of the issues brought before you. Stand for those who do not have the strength to stand on their own … who do not have a voice to speak for themselves.

Look within your heart and find the deepest point, where all are connected in the light and love of the Creator.

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us to honor those who have come before. You are connected in your purpose to the purpose and light of all those who have walked the paths of life down through the ages.

Embrace Life in all its qualities! Drink in the wisdom that is shared.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Visit your heart first, and your mind second. In that way, we can all walk together” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Look beyond the path of the herd. Seek the quiet spaces to connect with your own, true reality.

You have the freedom to realize that the world is much bigger than it appears from the center of the crowd.

Be wary of the leader you follow. Listen carefully to the thoughts you entertain. Be certain they are your own thoughts … and that you take your own actions.

Choose carefully!

Choose to see peace. Choose to live in harmony and respect. Choose thoughts centered in reverence for life.

Every thought you think has the power to create your future. You have unlimited choice in what you think!

Practice deep appreciation for this life! Walk in gratitude, breathe in humility. Notice all that is around you, and how you experience events both great and small.

Shift … awaken to your true light! Your future looks bright and beautiful.

Native American Wisdom: Step Into the Light of Your Possibilities

Shift from your conscious mind to your unconscious mind.

Leave behind the harsh stories you’ve been told. Find your truth. Find the love within yourself.

The more you seek that space, that deep, abiding light and purpose, the higher your vibration becomes … the greater your experience of your life becomes!

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us, it is important to pay attention to the miracle of our own creation … and how you connect with all of creation in your life..

Serve from a center of love. As you do, you become lighter … brighter … whole and unbroken. You are a vessel of exploration, of discovery — of magic!

All of the elements of your life are aligned when you let go of limiting beliefs. You ARE worthy! You were born that way. You were placed here to explore, to love … to live.

When you resonate with that, life becomes richer, more vibrant. It becomes where you were truly meant to be!

Look. Listen. Let go of the diversions your mind would bring you. Become attuned to the light within you — your unbreakable connection to the Divine.

You can change your mind!

You do not have to embrace anything that does not hold true to your essence, your well-being.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Delight in discovery! Invite in the magic ... each day” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Seek the senses beyond the five physical ones. Pay attention. Listen to the quiet voice of your spirit, to the senses beyond your body. Deep within yourself … you know that space.

Listen to what you feel with your heart.

Learn to navigate deeper and deeper within yourself. Live in a gentle manner. Hold space for the flow of your energy that connects with the energy of the Universe.

Manifesting all that is aligned with your highest good becomes part of that flow.

Believe that you ARE more! Believe that you ARE perfect and beautiful.

Trust the journey. There are no accidents. You are here … in the perfect place, at the perfect time.

Shine in the light of your beautiful creation. By design … you ARE a manifester! Tell yourself that story, over and over again.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Listen From the Center of Your Being

Find your center. In quiet, become calm.

Allow your inner wisdom — your heart-mind — to be your guide.

There is your essence! In that place, anything is possible.

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us to be open to new concepts each day. Walk the path of your life with the heart of a student, open and seeking.

The simple act of placing your hand over your heart as you listen intently will activate the power of your essence, allowing you to be attuned to Truth.

Your connection to that awareness, that entity, is your true connection to All That Is.

Your heart carries the instructions from the Maker, instilled into your deepest spirit at the moment of your creation.

Take care. Listen from the center of your being. There is your light, there is your essence.

There is the bottomless well of your compassion — and of the compassion that created you in complete and limitless love.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Follow a path of honor in all your actions” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Separation from one another often begins in fear. The mind creates painful stories to strengthen that fear. It causes decisions to be made to widen the separation, to compare one to another, to hold apart.

Your mind sets false values when your thoughts are not tempered by your heart. Seek what your heart knows is true.

Honor yourself and honor others who connect with you in that same peace.

Seek unity. Open your heart to harmony. Walk in peace.

Your first connection with the Maker was heart to heart, light to light … breath to breath. Before your first word that connection was made. That is the essence of your perfection.

Call upon the great resources of your heart. Miracles happen from the loving expression of your heart!

Love, caring, respect … these are the composition of Life.

Make of your life a loving agreement with yourself, and with everything around you. Give thanks.

See … with the eyes of your heart. Listen to your spirit. Lovingly steward your body. Guard and guide your thoughts. Connect the four realms of your being.

Imagine how you could be … and experience that beautiful perfection as now.

Native American Wisdom: Your Thoughts Have Tremendous Power

Question what you hear. Question the origin of what you say.

Whose story are you telling?

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us to take a breath before responding to anything that is said. Stop … see how you feel, what you think, how you are affected by what is being said.

What matters is what resonates within you.

Define, redefine what is true for you. Realign your thoughts with the vibrations of Truth.

High vibrations ignite the spark of your unique humanness. Low vibrations — the stories, the words and thoughts of others — lower your vibration, bring about anger and frustration.

Look deep into the composition of what you hear, and what you say.

Where do you wish to reside?

There … is the way to make peace with yourself. To know yourself … to know your truth by acknowledging what resonates for your highest good.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Much of what we have been taught holds people attuned to someone else’s song” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

You are seen. You are highly valued.

Value is sometimes confused with status, or ownership, or acquisition of things.

You are so precious to the Maker, that you were literally created from “nothing” and brought into loving present as “something.”

Your thoughts have tremendous power! When they are captured in words and magnified in story they echo down through the ages.

Take great care in whose thoughts you are embracing, whose words you are using. Be mindful of whose story you tell.

Reconstruct your story! See how you can regain the realization of your True Purpose. What a wonderful goal!

There … you are walking in a good way. Your path is on the good road, where you are more compassionate, more loving, more patient, more open.

You are the best of you! You are magnificent!

Native American Wisdom: You Were Born To Make a Difference

You are much more than your physical body … larger than your profession or calling.

In the deepest part of your existence is your connection to the Creator who gave you your first breath.

From that moment, you have been a growing part of the harmony of the tones of the Universe.

In that connection, when you offer an intention of your heart into that consciousness, it causes a ripple that spreads on and on. Your intentions carry great power!

The Maker gave you the gift of choice … and the opportunity to make a difference with the resonance of your unique vibration.

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us, all living beings are connected. You carry the breath and vibration of healing to another, in an instant, with your thought, with the beat of your heart.

You were born in the perfect moment of time, to carry your gifts into the future.

Be mindful. Be of open heart. Be of willing spirit.

Consider this week’s quote:

“When a thought comes to you, carry it a while to be sure of its value, before you share it” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

When your intentions connect with others who offer theirs … you meet heart to heart, wherever your physical bodies may dwell.

In your awakening, in your reaching out, your power grows and expands.

Be gentle as you walk your life journey. Every vibration matters. Every thought, every word, every story … matters.

You can create your greatest healings when you reach beyond yourself.

You are part of something wonderful, happening in this moment.

Native American Wisdom: Seek the Center of Your Own Peace

You have only to ask, in focused love, to delve into the true Wisdom of the Creator.

Open the eyes of your heart to begin to gain awareness of your connection with All That Is, and with all of creation.

Awareness is the first step! Raise your awareness of your relation with the Seven Grandfathers — the keys to living life in a good way.

Courage. Love. Honesty. Wisdom. Humility. Respect. Truth.

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us that attention is necessary.

Rest a moment, watch and listen … invite your heart and your spirit to awaken to the power of these teachings!

Speak, with and from your heart, the deepest longing of your spirit.

Seek the center of your own peace. Look within, emptying your mind of all thoughts and simply hold space.

Invite in the wisdom of the Universe and simply know that in your heart’s silence, in your mind’s quiet, is the kernel of your greatness.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Mother Earth is wise, with far greater vision than we have. As we awaken, change will happen” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Life supports life. Love supports love. Respect supports respect.

And in each step forward in connecting with that power, a catalyst builds. That catalyst, coming from within your very own heart, through your very own hands, is the Creator’s way of moving things from “nowhere” to “Now Here.”

The natural world holds you in love!

Your greatest power is in energetic movement. Be quiet. Breathe. Connect with the Infinite Power that waits for your notice.

Gather joy in all that is around you. Today is a good day!

Native American Wisdom: Be Gentle in the Wisdom of the Moment

Celebrate all things in life! Seek the secrets of opening doors, overcoming confusion and miscommunication.

Keep yourself in a gentle place.

You have unique abilities to make decisions, to listen and learn new things. Relax! Listen in quiet moments. Then … you begin to see more.

Our Wisdom Keepers have said, the teachings of the elders are kept vital and alive by being generously passed down from one to another.

Be gentle … in the wisdom of the moment. Become quiet. Allow yourself to absorb what is offered to you. You need not rush or hurry … the time of the gift is always perfect.

By gaining wisdom, you are able to overcome frustrations, anger and other negative emotions that become barriers.

Humble yourself. Be open and ready to receive. All things are connected!

Be mindful of the rhythms of those around you, with whom you connect. They may require more time to consider their replies and responses. Be generous with your patience.

Consider this week’s quote:

"What is seen with the eye is not always reality" - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Open your mind and heart to imagination. When you become more aware, you feel the changes and shifts of your perceptions … your walk upon the pathway of your purpose.

All living things have divine purpose. Remember that you were created for wondrous things! Choose to walk upon that path, knowing that you will gain the knowledge and wisdom needed as you gain new experiences.

Your experiences in this moment open the doorways to your future.

Lay your fears aside.

Lean into the unknown. Trust in your ability to grow and change!

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!
