Dont spend life making a living, Spend life to make a life.

I saw a movie based on 'Conversation with God' an autobiographical novel by Neale Donald Walsch. As I always seek such stuff which can answer my questions which arise in my mind almost daily, about our life. Some answers I get but I feel I do not give words to those thoughts and ideas as these come and disappear in seconds. It remains unexpressed in my mind. I liked few lines, I want to mention here, these are very similar to what I feel..

God talks to everyone in their own voice, the question is who listens? from the highest mountain it has been shouted. In the lowest place ,its whisper has been heard. And though the corridors of all human experience this truth has been echoed 'Love is the answer'. You have come up with a God who judges and rewards and punishes. You have created a fear-based reality around love. And this fear-based reality love dominates your experience of love.

Must you be threatened in order to be good? who gets final say about being good? You are your own rule-maker.

You are constantly in the act of creating yourself. You are, in every moment, deciding who and what you are. You decide this largely through the choices you make regarding who and what you feel passionate about.

Worry is the activity of mind that does not understand its connection with God.

Suffering has nothing to do with events but with one's reaction to them what's happening is merely what's happening. How we feel about it is another matter.

God is not concerned with your worldly success. Only you are. You are not to worry about making a living. True masters are those who have chosen to make a life rather than a living.

Do whatever you really love , do nothing less, you have so little time. How can you think of wasting a moment doing something for a living that you don't like to do? that is not a living that is a dying.

Don't feel abandoned for God is always with you. He will never leave you, He can not leave you, for you are His creation and His product, His daughter, His son, His purpose and Himself.

Call him therefore, whenever and whatever you are separate from the peace that He is , He will be there.

I believe many people feel the same way as I do. There are so many people like me who are seeking the answer so the important thing is how much do we follow or practice.These words look simple but hard to adopt and without making it a practice these words become hollow sound of wooden gong.
