Native American Wisdom: True Mastery Seeks Common Ground

You are unique and wonderful.

Your perspective on every element of your life is different from any other person on the Earth.

Your experience through your life leads you to become more aware of your true perspective, if you choose to pay attention to it.

True mastery of your life is being aware of your unique place, and reaching out to other unique beings to seek common ground.

Our Wisdom Keepers tell us, the herd offers safety, but the view is limited.

What would happen if you changed your perspective? Moved to the edge of the herd of your experience, your life?

At the edge of the herd is the realization that the world is much bigger than could be imagined at the heart of the mainstream flow.

The view is broader, the sounds of life are richer. The world appears in grandeur, your connection with the Earth happens in a different way when you choose your own path.

Consider this week’s quote:

"The monsters of your mind are frequently only pebbles upon your path" - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Choose with care who you invite into your life. Look to the timeless guidance of the Medicine Wheel for your direction.

Remember that the time, the seasons of your life, the connection of your Mind, Body, Spirit and Emotions are all contained in the balance of the Sacred Hoop.

Choose how you connect with the Earth. Choose how you connect with those beings around you.

Seek spaces which bring you great joy. Know that your greatest value is your unbreakable connection with All That Is.

The rhythms of your life are always connected to the sacred waters.

Give yourself the gift of connecting with the flow of the sacred … let the waters dance near your feet!

Invite the space of that flow into your deepest self. Invite thought, invite clarity, invite joy into your life.

Imperfection is truly perfect. How you make choices affects the view of your life.

Decisions of your heart often benefit many.

Seek those who respond from their hearts.

Go there! Take time for delight!

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Consider What You Believe You Deserve

True love is connected with true trust: when you know that someone will stand for you, will speak for you, will defend you … you know that you have no limits.

In that space, you are never alone.

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us that the trickster uses whatever tools are at hand to pry open the door of the careless.

Consider what you believe you deserve.

Take time … consider the results of your actions before you take them.

Move with your own rhythm … do not be swayed by the urgency of the stories you hear. Distinguish between what seems easy in this moment … and what is the true path.

All energy is connected, all actions are connected.

Your thoughts, your words, your actions have immense power. You have the power to change lives!

Consider this week’s quote:

"When we all stand in our own light, there will be no shadows" - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

In the community of your heart, you are safe. Even when you stumble upon the forward path and you slip into negativity, remember that you can choose not to stay there!

Cultivate patience. Guard your thoughts, temper your words with gentleness. Choose wisely the actions you take.

Pay attention. Give support to others and know that they are called to make their own choices.

Give your attention whole-heartedly. In that giving you receive back a hundred-fold.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Listen to the Lesson of Expansion

How do you engage? How do you follow your chosen path?

Those who are not awake use words without thought … take actions without purpose. They do not listen, and their hearts are dry and empty.

Hear the songs of our Wisdom Keepers!

The lessons to be heard are lessons of expanding … knowing that you are not alone, that there is something greater that you are meant to be.

When you are awake, deep within your mind, heart and spirit, you are completely connected. You live with intention. Your presence lifts the vibrations of all around you.

Your assignment is to seek those who walk in their truth, to connect with the bright power of those around you … to cause them to expand, in heart, mind, emotions.

Find those things which feel natural to you, and expand upon them.

Feed your heart, your spirit.

Find what gives you a smile, a chuckle. Know that there, you are in the center of your own circle

Consider this week’s quote:

“We are taught to be less than we were created to be. Break out of those laws ... seek all that supports your well-being!” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

We are all storytellers … whether we know it or not. Your words tell of your vision, your care. Your actions speak of the laws by which you live.

Do those paths support your highest being?

Consider the progression of your experience, the understanding that your past brings to your present. Embrace some slight shift that brings you closer to your True Purpose … the bent of your nature.

Your true nature is bigger than the limits you’ve been taught to live within.

Choose carefully your thoughts … your words … your actions. Break out of the shell of your smallness.

Even if you choose one word differently each day, take one step along a new direction, you are reaching out toward who you were created to be.

You have awakened! You are here … fully present.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Become the Catalyst for Joy

What color is your life? What are the hues of your experiences?

The color of the moment is made up of all the things within it. Embrace all the beauty within each moment as you go with the flow.

Water is the graceful gift of the Creator … flowing and continuously in motion. It finds its own shape.

Watch the magnificence of the water. Follow its path and see the beauty in unexpected discoveries.

Our Wisdom Keepers say, your mind often prefers things to be very precise. Discover ways to be light-hearted!

Find places to bring laughter … to give moments of joy.

Be the catalyst for that!

Wherever you may be, choose that power, that energy.

Be the one who discovers the new experience … invite your mind to be a participant in the process, not the leader.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Each moment, each song within our heart, is precious -- the treasure which moves beyond us” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Spend your time creating harmony, in cultivating awareness … in being completely present in the moment.

Begin focusing on your gratitude. Rediscover — remember — your authentic Self. Focus on what you wish to expand.

True beauty is on the inside!

Lean toward that beauty, regardless of outward appearances.

Embrace the beauty of the Creator’s work. Know that you are a shining example … created in perfect love, in perfect harmony.

You are the reflection of divine perfection.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Awaken Your Spirit to Join the Dance

Lift your heart to a higher vibration. Choose where you will dwell.

Set aside the noise and intrusion of the outer world … take a moment each day to center yourself, to reground yourself in the loving embrace of our Earth Mother.

Come back to the center of the circle … seek who you are, who you choose to be, in each circumstance.

Look within, see the scope of your true life on the wide screen of your experience!

Our Wisdom Keepers say, beware! The path of concern is a deep one, which you’ve been taught to follow.

Let go of the shadows of those old habits.

Choose to walk on the ridge of new discovery — up, above the rut. Seek the high ground, where the light is stronger, where your vision is clearer.

There … you are warmed by the sun.

Consider this week’s quote:

“You are the author. You choose what you wish to write, what you wish to embrace. Hold yourself in high regard, lift your spirit to a higher vibration” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

See with the eyes of your heart. Notice the gifts around you.

The flock that flies high in the sky is made up of individual birds, each unique in its beauty, in the touch of its wings against the rise of the wind.

Each bit of creation around you is unique and beautiful.

You are given the gift to choose to stop … to notice, to see beyond the evident and discover the layers of beauty.

The value of your life is not in what you acquire, but in your choices to walk in gratitude for what you do have.

Awaken your spirit to join the dance!

Native American Wisdom: Step Through the Looking-Glass of Your Dreams

When you pursue your dreams, and act upon wonder, you resonate with purposeful energy.

As you gain experience, you perfect your actions … seeking clarity, you are setting in motion the flow of your energy.

Awaken to the dance of your heart and mind!

Move deeper into the essence of clarity, of beauty … of innocence.

In that place, your connections of energy, life and purpose bridges all distances. You reach out, attracting those of like mind, like heart … like energy. Together, you magnify and manifest the future!

There is the reason for existence … to set in motion a way of thinking, of being … of living in that pure clarity, to see how far you have come in life!

When you are living your life in ways that honor your spirit and expand your purpose, you have the courage to reach out to those around you … connecting on those perfect vibrations and finding that place where your heart knows, “This is good!”

Consider this week’s quote:

“Know that your greatest understanding awaits you -- you are perfect, just as you are!” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

As your own vibrations rise, your awareness expands. The sphere of your own, personal world moves through time and space, connecting with the spheres of all those around you who are connected to you in that wonderful harmony of spirit.

Your perfection is realized not in the absence of your fear, but in your awareness that you are greater than any fear you may encounter … any limit you may have believed.

Exercise your power of spirit … bringing yourself back into alignment, maintaining your true purpose.

In that purposeful movement, you become a child again, celebrating the innocence of your spirit. There, in that light-filled space, great understanding is revealed!

Step through the looking-glass. See yourself from the other side!

Native American Wisdom: What Tickles Your Fancy …

Seek a new vantage point.

You’ve been concentrating, focusing, looking closely … and sometimes when you do that, you lose the gift of perspective from where you’ve been standing.

That does not mean you are “wrong,” our Wisdom Keepers say. It simply means that taking a fresh look — that new vantage point — can give you new energy, new insights.

Seek that place where joy peeks out! Dive in and find excitement again.

What tickles your fancy?

When you are fully awake, there is no such thing as a repeat experience! Everything is new, and you are renewed as you awaken.

Look with fresh eyes and find new choices, new opportunities … new freedoms.

Consider this week’s quote:

"The spirit cannot be damaged ... it remains whole and unbroken through every experience" - Native American wisdom quote from Terri TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Embrace this time of renewal. You have the ability to reinvent yourself — and your entire life!

Seek your unique gift.

What is deep within you, which you have not yet expressed to the world? Open your heart, unfold your spirit. Your best self … your highest gifts are there, waiting.

Focus. Refine the process of describing your intention. Allow it to become so concentrated, so distilled that it is crystal clear, and reduced to its richest essence.

Recall it, speak it, lock on with laser intensity.

Pay attention! Your True Purpose is reaching out to you … for everyone’s highest good.

Your time is now!

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: What You Think About Expands … Choose Wisely

You are part of the infinite, sublime natural flow of the Universe … an undulation of energy, love and abundance beyond anything imaginable.

And sometimes it may feel like the Universe has passed you by … fear, worry and doubt creep into your thoughts; maybe you experience genuine lack and financial difficulty.

How do those times, those emotions and experiences, fit in with a Universe of limitless abundance?

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us, what we think about expands.

And our beloved Elders, with a loving twinkle in their eyes, would tell us, it isn’t always easy to think the thoughts that will expand your experience, deepen your personal abundance.

The experience of prosperity is an active, conscious choice … and you make it every day.

Those small thoughts are simply the ego mind wanting things to remain the same … small, tight, controlled — safe in what is known and recognized.

Your challenge in mastery of your thoughts, your words and your actions, is to recognize that smallness. To acknowledge it and to breathe into that moment of recognition your conscious awareness.

Choose to reside in the infinite abundance which is your true nature.

If your physical, emotional or financial circumstances appear to be closed off or lacking … choose to see them differently.

Understand that you have ultimate power here … in this moment, and each arising moment … to change your relationship to your circumstances, so that your circumstances become changed by your reflection of light.

Consider this week’s quote:

"Your mind has a powerful influence on the outcomes in your life" - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Open your mind to possibilities! Have confidence in your vision.

You are creating, in each moment, the true experience of your life. There is an exchange happening in that beautiful point in time, when you stand in gratitude for all that you are offered … when you choose to receive the abundance of All That Is.

Visualize your ideal outcome! The more clear you are, the more confident you are, the greater space you create to welcome the outcome you desire.

Listen to your instinct, your intuition.

Everything is made of energy — including you! You can become a catalyst for change to occur around you and within you.

Abundance is conscious belief in yourself … choosing to surround yourself with others of strong, positive thoughts, words and actions.

You have the connections to dream big dreams … to bring about change beyond your wildest imaginings!

We see your light … stand in your own delight!

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!

Native American Wisdom: Seek the Adventure of New Experiences

The gift of your life is the legacy you leave.

As you awaken, as you connect with something much higher, much greater than yourself, you experience gradual growth.

Capture the moment! Add to the light within you … live your life in de-light!

Our Wisdom Keepers tell us, as you grow and expand with new awareness … reaching higher and deeper, you become aware of the contradictions between the needs of your conscious, logical mind, and your spiritual mind and heart.

Your logical mind seeks certainty and comfort. This provides you protection in your childhood, so that your world is made up of known, trusted experiences.

As you gain experience in your life, your spiritual mind seeks uncertainty — the adventure of new experiences, new places.

Your heart and spirit yearn to grow!

This is your natural evolution –a yearning for movement.

Harmonize with this movement … this expansion of your life’s awareness in your mind, body, spirit and emotion.

Give thanks for the natural elements — fire, water, air and earth — for your presence in this place and time.

As they work in harmony, you are nurtured and supported in every breath you breathe, in every step you walk.

Consider this week’s quote:

"Every moment, you have the opportunity to observe, to respond. See the new possibilities!" - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Seek the natural balance of your life which awaits you. Watch the world around you … see how those you regard highly interact with each other. Note their respect and acknowledgment.

Become attuned to the grace of the moment. Open your senses to the vibrations around you and raise your awareness … reach to add your harmony to the chords which lift your heart.

Life is what you make of it. In each moment you are at choice.

The difference between your logical mind and your spiritual mind is light-heartedness. Joy comes from your spirit.

It resides deep within you, waiting for your acknowledgment.

Become aware of miracles!

Native American Wisdom: Dig Deep … Seek Your True Essence

What habits in your life cause you pain?

Where have you learned imitation that reduces your awareness of yourself? Where has your denial caused you to be folded … crumpled and incomplete?

In those folds and creases of your life, your spirit, pain resides. In your limits, you forge a relationship with that pain … creating the story that leads you down that narrow, rocky path of limit.

When your mind runs ahead, it creates monsters from unknown shadows.

It pulls and tugs your energy, your attention, your actions away from the true reality around you.

Our Wisdom Keepers remind us, your essence is pure love. You are asked to love every part of your being — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual.

Rising … unfolding … into the light of that pure love requires change. It offers awareness that often feels like loss and fear.

Consider this week’s quote:

“Change and growth can only happen in discomfort” - Native American wisdom quote from Chief Robert TallTree, Founder of HowToLiveOnPurpose.com

Some people walk into your life, some walk alongside you … and some walk out of your life. Time, space … the thread of life … all are outside your control.

Breathe in this moment … breathe out obscurity.

Breathe through the fear that seeks to hold you captive.

In your outward strength is your weakness. In your weakness is your true strength — the energetic expression of your spirit.

The best outcome of any story is when you ask your heart, “What do you think of this moment?”

When you dig deep, seeking the true essence of your own being, you find the whole answer — in the center of your heart.

You are more than your physical body.

You are more than any limitation, greater than any pain. When you let go of your limits, you are embraced by wholeness.

The longer you remain in gratitude, the deeper and higher you will travel, into bliss and wonder.

Look deeply … through the eyes of your heart. Discover the light of your purpose.

Live on Purpose ... Change the World!
