Download or read book Like a Lotus Learning to Bloom Through Life s Adversities written by Amy McCarroll and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lotus is a flower that cannot bloom unless it grows in muddy waters. Much like the lotus, we as people also cannot bloom unless we go through muddy waters. All of the dirt and mud that we encounter help mold and shape us into who we are meant to be. Life certainly has a way of throwing us in the mud when we least expect it and at the most inconvenient times. Without those difficult moments, we would never be able to blossom into a beautiful flower. This remarkable book will help you learn to appreciate all of life's struggles and adversities that you must face. You will be able to understand that each and every single moment, good and bad, both serve a purpose to help get you to where you are supposed to be. Without those moments, you would not be who you are today. It is time to stop comparing your journey to everyone else's and start showing up as the best version of yourself, not a watered down version of someone else. You are you and that is your gift. Too often we compare ourselves to others and feel as if they may have an easier path or as if their struggles aren't as severe as our own. Regardless of what someone else is going through, we must learn to stay focused on our own journey. This book should help you embrace and appreciate every step of your journey.

Download or read book The Lotus Flower written by Shamim Razaq and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lotus Flower is a collection of poetry about healing; mother nature; love; relationships; spirituality; religion; depression amongst many other subjects. The Lotus Flower stays close to mother nature throughout. The poems were written in order to heal from mental health illness and gain a new life of spirituality and wisdom. The poetry depicts life in its minute form and brings small things to life. The poetry is written from a feminist point of view covering many areas of femininity and mother nature. Beginning with the poem 'My Brand New Book,' shows my second chance in life of writing and living, still staying natural to my environment and my experiences. As the poems develop and come out of their shell I write about depresssion and relationships, asking the question: Who am I ? continuously. The title is inspired from the poem 'About Ancestor Voices' and it was after this poem my poetry was growing into another dimension, especially the lines: ' The lakes are laid with the Lotus, As they have fought from the depths of waters', Carrying hope, light and purity in their shield like petals.'The poetry develops into 'My World' and 'A Poetess Grows' showing the development in the poetry reflecting life. As it develops I express the importance of childhood and religion. As identity in finding life back is explored I return to religion and back to nature. After writing 'The Phoenix' the poetry expresses love and resurrection and how much we can learn from mother nature.
Download or read book The White Lotus Teachings in Chinese Religious History written by Barend ter Haar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-09-13 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a new hypothesis for understanding the real nature of the term White Lotus Teachings. The author argues that there are actually two different phenomena covered by similar terms: from c. 1130 until 1400, a real lay Buddhist movement existed, which can be called the White Lotus movement. It enjoyed the respect of contemporary literati and religious elites. The movement used the autonym White Lotus Society, which came to be prohibited in the early Ming and was discarded as a result. After 1525, the name reappeared in the form White Lotus Teachings, but now only as a derogatory label, used by officials and literati rather than by believers themselves. As a result of this hypothesis, the history of the "White Lotus Teachings" changes from one of religious groups and magicians into one of elite ideology and religious persecution. The book is therefore important both for historians and anthropologists of Chinese religion and society, and for comparative historians interested in the ideological and social construction of "heterodoxy".
Download or read book Master of Change written by Brad Stulberg and published by Heligo Books. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Brad Stulberg is the writer I turn to for examinations of success in all of its personal and professional complexities' - David Epstein Master of Change is offers a captivating and compelling new framework for negotiating our changing world and workplace, and going on to thrive within uncertainty. While we see change as an exception and instability as something to overcome, change is actually an enduring principle of all our lives. Indeed, research shows that, on average, people experience thirty-six major 'disorder events' in the course of their adulthood. The mark of success is how we can flourish not by fighting but by embracing change. Borrowing from the high-performance world of business, resilience-training and mindset-hacking, science and spirituality, philosophy and psychology, bestselling author and coach Brad Stulberg equips the reader with 'rugged flexibility' - a revelatory new framework to help overcome the challenge of change. When we start to implement rugged flexibility, we learn to view change as ongoing cycle of order, disorder, and reorder, and we become adept at thriving in the midst of flux. The result of becoming a master of change is to be less stressed, less anxious and more confident, to experience sustained performance at work and beyond, and be happier and more fulfilled in life.

Download or read book Never Enough Time written by Donna Schaper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us struggle with the “time famine”—the pervasive feeling of never having enough time. Whether we work three jobs or none, have many children or none, or live in a huge city or a small town, most of us have the feeling there is always more to do than we’re able, more time required than we can give. In Never Enough Time,Rev. Donna Schaper helps us think through the practical and spiritual elements of the time famine and helps us instead aim for a feast. Schaper’s advice centers around our mind-set—understanding both the structural and personal reasons we feel so pressed, clarifying what’s important to us or not, and setting realistic expectations, while enriching the time we have. The book goes beyond the idea of “Sabbath keeping” to offer suggestions for all parts of life—particularly the busy moments. Schaper draws on her years ministering to people across all walks of life to show that the time famine cuts across race, class, and gender lines to touch almost everyone. She offers practical and spiritual suggestions that won’t magically give us more time, but can help us live better with the time we have.
