Freedom is subjective, so one may feel the they are free but actually have chains on and not aware due to accepting the status quo.
Through working on my inner thoughts and continued growth in my spiritual beliefs I have become free....starts with the mind....my heart had to follow because I was seeking the truth.... Each day is a lesson that is preparing my soul....
Sometimes one's freedom is bounded by external factors as cultural and traditional norms. In order to transcend this challenge one should begin by DECIDING to liberate one's self from such status quo. Many have done it before and more are doing it right Now as we speak.
The responsibility of Freedom includes allowing others to be free to make their own choices even when we disagree with seemingly valid reasons.
Disagreeing without judgement is to act responsibly with freedom. Even if it means sometime being assertive, and with seemingly valid reasons.
I think that's an important one. I can only present my view and no matter how valid I find e.g. vegetarianism or faith or else I have to allow the freedom of choice to others!
Every passion and dream unfolded with Love is already in the manifesting of its be-coming. Everything handled with anything LESS is already bounded and limited by our own fears and doubts. Be Love.
I love one old saying I heard from Les Brown, "When life knocks you down, lie on your back because if you can look up... you can get up"... So whatever the emotional season, keep your mind on where you are going... If you can see it, you can conceptualise it ... This signs shall follow those who believe... Mark 16:17... Be a believer and keep going.
I try to focus on the many blessings given to me from God. From the smallest ones to the largest ones. I then begin to give Him thanks for caring about me and loving me. Happiness washes over me and I feel uplifted.
Feeling bad creates a feeling of guilt, therefore puts a wall of limitation... and on and on it goes... to get RID of this, before you go to bed, go over your day and say "what would I have done differently today?", then see what it was that you would have changed. In a few weeks, it will dwindle to very little... if nothing... training your mind/subconscious to "create" your day. What’s there to feel guilty about if you have NOTHING that you would change in your day?

"There are no facts, only interpretations."
In a disagreement, one can say there are no facts are to say there are no absolutes. To say there are only interpretations’ is to say everything is subjective. However to say everything is subjective is in itself an absolute and if there is one we must admit to the possibility of others.
I always reserve the right to change my mind & I don't always believe what I hear and only half of what I see. Facts... One person’s facts are another’s fiction.
Well, from the aspects of Buddhism, Zen, Taoism, and etc- everything is relative. Via this view, I agree nothing is absolute, which itself can be an oxymoron since then Nothingness becomes the absolute! ;)
From other perspectives, it can be argued that everything is relative VIA a common denominator of an absolute aka Truth/ God/ Divinity/ Oneness/ etc
The conjunction of opposites... Everything is relative and absolute simultaneously and then some. Opposites is not the same as within a spectrum
The yin and yang symbol in which the seed of the other is found within
Every one interpret as he/she thinks, minds are variable first, second process of thinking is going on, new experience new yard sticks of thinking, new parameters of thinking ,will bring his own interpretations new facts will appear this process will continue till expiry.
The Truth is a living phenomenon... To be alive, it must remain Dynamic, and of course, "evolve"!
The inexplicable cannot be explained via any single mode of expression- philosophy, science, metaphysics, religion, etc. It may reveal itself via all or none given the unfolding depends on the individual's depth of evolution.
"Do we evolve to the truth?"
This is something we'd have to find out THROUGH our evolutions.
There often a tendency, via childhood conditioning, for us to view everything via a standard pivot of something we believe to be THE STANDARD FACT of THE TRUTH. When we begin to genuinely question this too, everything changes...
"Facts are there & have to be there."
The question then is who has the privilege to have it? If it's with someone claiming to have it, then isn't it subject to individual interpretation as well?
Show a colour blind person red they will see it as green... To them green are what they see and that is their reality ... It is like that with all things... Reality is what we make of it. Everything is an opinion...By saying everything is an opinion make that statement a fact.
It's interesting how our own opinions are facts to ourselves at any given moment!
I believe that certain truths are open to interpretation but not facts... Truths are relative to a person’s belief/cultural system - but irrefutable facts such as our necessity to breathe air to survive are not...
What knowledge is known, has been past down, changed slightly each time, so what can we call truth, we all think differently so it is all interpretations of truth, opinions and facts.
The circle never ends; it just by passes in a spiral not a complete circle that closes. So true Rail. New Age is just a name put on a science for a classification; there are so many sciences at work as we type, so many brainwaves.
As We Evolve Individually Or As A Whole, So Does The Knowledge For The Unknown. How We Perceive Such Understandings Will Determine The Fate Of Either Our Own Success Or Our Detrimental Downfall!
A fact is only defined when written. But definitions come from insecure people looking for absolutes, usually that the media contrives for the so called ''good'' of mankind.
Now Let Me Point Out That Arrogance And Ignorance Are Two Different Outlooks Upon Life, Not A Way Of Realizing One's Own State Of Mind Or Reference Point!
Personal Growth Comes From Within, Only Then Are We Able To Fully Know How To Apply Wisdom Into Knowledge, Therefore Realizing We're More Mentally Yearning For Ways To Hone Our Skills In Ways We Never Thought We'd Achieve, This Is Why We Need Each Other, To Learn From Each Other Rather Than Take Advantage Of Those Broken Worse Than How We Are So Far!
We apply knowledge to create wisdom not the other way around.
Getting at the fact that a human perception of a "fact" is always determined by the limitation of that human's interpretation no matter how valid it seems in knowable circumstances. There is always room for a "fact" to fail in some application as there could be some unfathomable exception to the limits of said "fact".
The fact that I called that a fact is also my interpretation although I cannot fathom any way for there to be an exception to the rule that there can always potentially be some exception to any perception of factuality.
Basically any perception of certainty however objective is impossible to prove in infinite cases.
The way I interpret this quote is that everything is relevant to the individual and their own perception. Scientific data and studies aside, intuitions and convictions are a personal matter. Things such as faith, spirituality, and life philosophies, how could facts be labelled on them? We develop our own philosophies and beliefs, and there is no textbook definition for them, we form them ourselves as we proceed on with life and inherit wisdom...

Lesson in mistakes.????
Get over your guilt about what you've done in the past. Just get over it. Get over it. All of us have made mistakes - and for some of us they have been some pretty big whoppers - but that has nothing to do with your worthiness to see God, and to be loved by God.
It is useless to carry the burden of the past mistakes, although we learn a lot with them.
Mistakes were just opportunities to learn, if you can see a mistake, take the learning and move on, put the past in the past where it belongs, and take the learning into today, oh yeah and remember, humans forget, sometimes we have to learn again.
The knowledge gained from the "mistakes" I've made is not there to torment me with guilt and shame, but to serve as a reminder of what I have chosen before, so that I may choose better this time.
Someone who is so dear told me a long time ago that no one makes "mistakes"... what happens is that we take a "mis-step"... we are on a path and that sometimes we step off the path because of the choices we make... that does not make us a "good" person or a "bad" person... it is an opportunity to learn another lesson about ourselves & about life... then it is up to each of us to step back onto the path and keep going forward
God's love is the only thing constant in life. I agree we should get over our mistakes and most of all their consequences--cos there's yet to come. Loll. Besides, mistakes keep us entertained. But I do think guilt-- like all things--have a place in life. It's a hint that in our very core, we are still good... and is in fact having a piece of God crammed in us. But like all things--too much of anything is unhealthy. Mistakes--like Haters--make us strive to be better and yes, for heaven... the only sensible thing we aspire. HaH! Let's enjoy life whether we like it or not!

Sacrifice and Joy????
So often people feel bad for finding joy in something that could be considered a sin. It brings about this fear of living and the sacrifice then becomes too great.
Sacrifice is not a virtue. Joy is not a sin. Since sacrifice does not mean 'The rejection of the worthless', it will always remain as a virtue. Joy is never a sin unless it exceeds certain limits and become unethical.
"sacrifice contains a desire to give but it leaves out one very important element; ourselves. Since sacrifice happens through a role where we are not really present, it gives but it cannot receive. Valuing ourselves changes sacrifice and 'almost love' into being truly love."
Sacrifice is relative, unselfish people usually sacrifice one way or another; giving time for instance and listening to others often is a sacrifice usually selfish people never sacrifice anything, the mere mention of the word makes them quiver. Nothing wrong in sacrifice which also requires discipline that doesn't hurt either. Has nothing to do with religion.
Sacrifice and joy need will, virtue and sin are parts of the personality. Personality does not consist of will.
There are a lot of people here that buy into the lives of their culture. Live outside the rules of those who lived in fear.

Perfection..
Do not confuse excellence with perfection. The first is possible to achieve, the second is probably not, but is a direction to aim for.
Perfection lies in the eye of the beholder and unfortunately we have two. Perfection is admirable though inconceivable, because perfection is not an achievement. It is a fact.
Every diamond is flawed, but every diamond is perfect, because the flaw is part of what a diamond is. A diamond with a flaw exists perfectly as a diamond is meant to exist.
Perfection is the state of all things even when they appear imperfect. Our minds have trouble accepting this idea because we do not see the greater picture. Excellence is simply a way of measuring human achievement.
My motto, "if you have come here for perfection there is the door, if you have come for excellence, have a seat".
What is perfection after all? Just a concept set by our mind.
Excellence is one's own idea of best thing and perfection is an imposed one.
Voices
To me there are 3 voices in you, the voice of your heart, the voice of your mind and the voice of your soul.
These 3 voices are also - all the time - speaking to you, about everything! Which voice you listen to will determine which voice you speak with. Sometimes it's really funny to follow the conversations between my mind and my heart... so the voice of my soul is determined who is speaking.
Many do not know how to listen to their soul's voice. It takes training yourself to tap into body knowing, grounding, by training first to shut/silence the mind.
MY suggestion is to learn to break the cycle of the constant chatter of the “little mind” that you find time in each hour to become aware of the wonder of your physical body. Isn’t it marvellous how your fingers can move to hold & raise your coffee cup to your mouth! And, oh how splendid is the feel of the water & soap on your hands as you wash them! If you do this regularly, then you will find you’re able to let the “little mind’s” data pass on by & you can live more from your Heart
The Soul speaks from a place of Joy, Grace and Peace it does not speak anger, judgment or resentment. When we speak from our soul it feels good within it is the most peaceful feeling there is to just be kind love and joy to not feel anger hate or fear anymore.
Lifestyle Sustainability is about hearing your inner authentic self and knowing that the answers lie there. Here you will find the only information you ever need to take action on... Freedom is contained there, in the choices we make from the heart.
Your heart knows what you need before your mind does.
Your ego will trick you always ... and sometimes can convince you it's your heart's voice when it's not ... just when you think you can tear it apart the ego has shifted again and once more you are lost ... awareness is everything
The mind thinks of everything you can lose. The heart thinks of everything you can give, and the soul thinks of everything you are. I will leave it up to you to decide which of those three is the most important…
When they say "are you out of your mind?" I simply say "Why yes" at the time it seemed good...
My favourite quote:
Don't believe everything you think, it's a dangerous neighbourhood to be in.
Sometimes the mind gets in the way often when we are trying to calm our soul and just LISTEN.
I don’t know, but at times I feel that we must LET GO of the mind, that is when we go into the field of pure potential.
I have commenced my self-initiated program of sitting quietly until the mind shuts up and I can hear what I really know and feel! I have missed "me"...
The mind and the soul must work together if you are to experience true bliss. Try not to spend too much time exclusively in your mind. It is a magnificent tool, but it has a limited perspective.
Soul is the truth of you, communicates in feeling, your grandest feelings, and always loves.
Minds are thoughts processes, often masquerading as feelings, and rely on past data leading to reactions. Soul is in the NOW and causes one to create.
The soul has the knowledge and perspective of ALL and the mind is set for limited data and can focus on one thing only.
When seeking to Commune with the soul, do whatever you need to do to find a place of peace within, and let yourself be inspired.
Mind is always fixated on the daily drama of life, that its purpose.
Mind and soul are merely a metaphor for the masculine and feminine principles in us, one of the many symbols we host.
The masculine habit of over-analysing everything leads to nothing without the soul's deep knowledge, so the only way out of this dead end is COOPERATION in harmony.
Once we get "tired of our own thoughts" and we realize that mind alone will never lead us to full happiness, we're ready to make room for the soul to be heard.
The soul has infinite time and patience; we humans only have limited time.

No favour do I seek today
Friday, 2 December 2011 at 20:51
I come NOT to ask, to plead, or implore
I just come to tell how much I love You
For to kneel in Your presence make me feel blessed
For I know that You know all my needs best
And it fills me with joy
As my soul replenish and my heart renew
For prayers is much more than just asking for things
It’s the peace and contentment that quietness bring
So thank you again for Your mercy and love
And for making me heir to Your kingdom above.
But all cannot understand that the highest prayer or communion with God is a life of love.

FRIENDSHIP is the answer....is it NOT?????
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship and respect that makes unhappy marriages.... Isn't that the truth?
To most they forget of ‘why’ they got married in the first place. This is something I so believe!!
That to me is why so many marriages fail. Without friendship the relationship has no "glue" to hold it together!
You were friends before you took that ‘big step’, so, why did it have to stop? The very first mistake most did/does was not continued friendship and take things for granted.
Compliments to me is very important, be it about my cooking, what I have on or the work I’ve done. NEVER STOP giving compliments. I like being appreciated, so we do the same to our husband.
We need to keep the spirit lifted in order to keep moving on, listen to each other’s and hear what they really say in between their words. When you listen with your intuition you will hear the truth. OR better still tell him how you felt, I always do....
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you wants to do....TOGETHER!
Follow your heart, but be quiet and still for a while, if you don’t know what to do. Ask questions, and then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Be like a child. Walk in love, not fear as you often heard people say.
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safer, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. I am NO ordinary.
Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don't let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity. Be like those of light, that’s the ray of happiness, are colourless when unbroken.
If you want to meet someone who can fix any situation you don't like, who can bring you happiness in spite of what others say or believe, look in a mirror, then say this magic word: "Hello"
Honesty.... Better to fail with honour than succeed by fraud, I despise dishonesty more than anything; only cowards and truly selfish people hide from and don’t share the truth. I say own it in truth!! Be true to yourself...
The moment you think about giving up, think of the reason why you held on so long. You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.

The moment you think about giving up, think of the reason why you held on so long. You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.

Israel...the Black sheep of the world!!!
These thoughts have been spooling round and round in my head... As Gaddafi systematically massacres his people and the country descends into civil war, as armies slaughter civilians in Yemen and Bahrain, now Syria...
I ask why good people have focused only on Palestine/Israel for more than half a century and not attended to the brutality and oppression endemic in other countries...
Saudi Arabia went to war with Yemen & invaded tow city in Yemen & took them by force, Greece & Turkey fighting over cypress ...& Spain invaded tow cities in Morocco and took them by force!!!!!!
So is it OK for dictators to do what they wish within their own borders to crush democratic demands?
I think not, and strongly. No flotillas for their victims?
One fact that is kept tightly sealed and buried is this: More Muslims are killed by their brethren in religious and power struggles than are killed by foreign powers and that, as far as I can ascertain is true even after the war on Iraq.
It could be that some of the relentless focus on Israel does indeed rise out of blaming the black sheep is easier ... It is also a useful displacement activity very so why focus only on Israel when ever any disaster happens in the world !!!!
Just I pray and I ask God to give me strength to understand, you're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
Reality, that all countries has its own skeletons in the closet we are here to build friendship away from politics and hidden agendas and Masonic org- crap and all this hatred ..We are here to make a change not to talk over the past that created enough wars and conflicts and racism and negativity...we need new horizon...that’s the truth
I struggle with this. Struggle between recognizing that these people for some reason need to have this experience, and at the same time struggle with the in authenticity and lack of integrity that is present when they claim to be Muslim and in the next breath vomit out hate that is clearly the antithesis of what Quran taught.
Church/ Mosque have nothing to do with God; religion is a man made institution to control the masses & profit from them. Your body is your temple, not Churches, Mosque or whatever you call it. God did not create religion, or ordain the Churches, all man-made.
It’s plain that religions have masked us from ourselves through conditioning. We create our own destiny & reap the consequences of our actions. Religion is for people who are afraid of Hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.

"Tears are the lubricants of change"
A good cry can be wonderful sometimes, and sadness is nothing more than love announced. Sadness and Unhappiness is not the same thing, and it is good to remember that. And there is this: sadness cleanses the heart.
Sadness had a particular purity about it when it's coming from your heart. And yes, once expressed, healing can take place. I always thought that tears a concentrated emotion as the angels are holding you...
You have to feel safe enough to accept & to go through the feelings of sadness! Then, with enough positive emotional support, the sadness may not immobilize you as depression!
So, now that she's gone unexpectedly, you can allow yourself to feel the grief-life being a contradiction, sadness born from having to let go of something beautiful, in every moment there is surrender.
A good cry is cathartic to the body and soul. When I feel boxed in by a frustrating problem, my usual M.O. is to first cry it out and then move on. I find that my insights are sharper, and I can relax about the issue and actually focus clearly on a resolution. This should be shared with everyone; especially those who bottle up their feelings.
Listen to YOUR heart and no one else. I’m so sorry for your loss. Take all the time you need. Celebrate her life, yes; but honour your feelings, too. All emotions are cleansing if we see them as such. WE must distinguish between feeling our emotions and BEING our emotions. Feeling is healthy!
I have been known to seek out the "Kleenex" movie to serve as catalyst to that wonderful good cry. Apparently we have a lot of love to announce. What’s not normal is never feeling sadness or elation.
Emotional tears are constituted differently than regular tears, containing a lot of hormones. I believe that crying helps release pent up chemicals when we are overwhelmed either by positive or negative emotion.
We need to feel our sadness to feel the other good feelings - from my own journey I have learned the tears are our own personal healers.

What would you do if you knew love, what would you do if you lived love, what would you do if you loved the whole worl
Love is the very substance that this world is made of, is out there and in us, is the essence of the matter that we feel as solid and is the essence of our being, our soul.
But Love can take Action thru us, the humans and that implies that we know Love with our heart, we feel it and we let it "work" thru us.
We cannot sit on the sofa and blog about Love. This is not action.
Love is not out there and is going to come to save us; actually even the Love out there can save us if we only NOTICE it... it's in the simple things, in the nature, in the human relationships and so on
What did Love do, for example, when Mother Teresa allowed it to transform her and to not be afraid or reason anymore? In the middle of hunger, thirst, fear dirt, pain, so much pain, there she was, doing her work.
The similar examples are everywhere actually, there is an Indian guy that just finished his studying to be a chef, he could have a wonderful career as a chef in some opulent hotel but he decided to feed the hungry on the streets in his city in India, so he cooks, he feeds them and he hugs them and bathes them.
This is what Love is doing, thru him, he allows it to, and guess what: I don't think he needs Prozac when he gets home to kill the pain he sees around every day... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RsRFklZ2-8 Notice in the video: what was his first question: "what is the purpose of my soul?"
You might say: this doesn't even matter in the ocean of a billion of people suffering around there. No, it matters, it matters for Narayanan (that is his name) and for his pursuit of happiness and it matters for God, and it matters for those people he is helping very much!

Friends with conditions......
Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we're so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being Love is the supreme creative act...
If the whole world wants to go left and you feel like going right, go right. You don’t have to follow. You don’t have to make a big deal about which way you’re going. Just go. It’s very easy.... It is YOU that matters!
A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye, and it puts everything out of focus. Hold it at proper viewing distance, and it can be examined and classified. Throw it at your feet, and it can be seen in its true setting, just one tinier bump on the pathway to eternity...this is so true.
I am a Muslim; Quran is my guide – THE GREAT READING! I believe the Quran contains the whole truth. This doesn't mean I do. I am merely the student. I am an active reader, and will continue to do so, and if by reading other spirituals books make me less Muslim to you so be it. There are many ways to truth.
“By reading other books, it helps me see the Quran better, kind of like stimulus to higher thought.”
“Yes some said Quran is enough, but it doesn’t tell me to stop reading other texts. It's a complete system in itself and all other bits of information must be fit in accordingly.”
“Merely having the text or claiming to believe in it isn’t having the truth. The truth is a journey, a posture. When you adopt that posture, you evolve. All paths have some measure of truth.
Separating untruths from the truth is a lifelong jihad - many people read the Quran and never accept it, just because they have truth in front of them doesn't automatically make everything better...”
“We are all born with fitrah Allah; the rest is up to us to stay on that, and to humble ourselves to God alone. “
“What kind of God ordains crucifixion for treason?”The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Prophet and make mischief in the land, is to kill them, crucify them, or cut off a hand and foot on opposite sides." (Qur'an 5:33)...
“The meaning is that those aspects of your selfhood that wage war against your innate (Prophetic) nature -- when the selfhood is at war with itself -- these aspects will perish...”
My brother told me that – “‘arrogance’ is a characteristic influence by "me first", a self-cantered sort of mentality. Some are arrogant because they have a distorted image of reality which they believe is the absolute truth and they are not willing to accept any sort of reasoning against it because of their inability to come to terms with their weakness/faults.
People of humble nature become more humble and People arrogant by nature become more arrogant in their speech and manners after reading Quran. They are mostly those who believe that simply reading or reciting Quranic verses (without the need to understand it and reflect it in their conduct) is enough to qualify them to be included among the ranks of the righteous and hence this illusion of being ‘the righteous’ further enhance their already arrogant nature.”
And I think this is true.
Some people spend their entire lives reading but never get beyond reading the words on the page, they don't understand that the words are merely stepping stones placed across a fast-flowing river, and the reason they're there is so that we can reach the farther shore, it's the other side that matters.
Whatever you do take one more step out of your comfort zone.
I am NOT worry when I’m not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition. And don't let recognition be our motivator! Do our best always, either way! But one recognition I needed none. I stay committed in my decisions, but am staying flexible in my approach." I believe when we improve ourselves we can also serve as an inspiration to help others improve also...
You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. If we look at the world with a love of life, the world will reveal its beauty to us. As human beings, our greatness lays not so much in being able to remake the world -- that is the myth of the atomic age -- as in being able to remake ourselves.
One person cannot change the world, but one person can spread the message and let many know. Let's come together and create the change. We cannot fight for peace; we can only set our differences aside. Come together and unite, spread the love. We need to stand up for ourselves but not to fight, because divided we fall, but together we stand.
O ye who believe! Guard your own souls: If ye follow (right) guidance, no hurt can come to you from those who stray. the goal of you all is to Allah: it is He that will show you the truth of all that ye do. (5:105)
If the whole world wants to go left and you feel like going right, go right. You don’t have to follow. You don’t have to make a big deal about which way you’re going. Just go. It’s very easy.... It is YOU that matters!

Judging or observation?
It is not for you to judge the journey of another's Soul. It is for you to decide who you are, not who another has been, or has failed to be.
I like seeing people act with integrity and unselfishly, not focused on greed at the expense of others. Nobody gets away with anything. Sometimes people think they're being slick by maligning or slandering another, for example, and they think they're getting away with something, but God sees everything.
I too sometimes fall into this trap. I'm no better or worse than anyone. I strive for righteousness and do my best. I'm quick to correct my faults if I notice any and would never intentionally wrong another.
Often we make "observations" not necessarily judgments. A person playing with fire increases their chances of being burned its inevitable, not a judgment just an observation.
For every action there is an equal opposite reaction, it is just the nature of things. Sowing bad seeds, yields a bad unproductive harvest...under nourished. Sowing good seeds upon good fertile ground yields an abundant harvest. Here again, just an observation.
Now for the individuals that choose to sow bad seeds...when they could have spent that very same time sowing good seeds...again their harvest will be their own. We all will reap what we have sown. Not a judgment, just an observation. That’s my humble opinion.
Passing judgment on another's soul's journey is an exercise in futility anyway. Their journey is THEIR reality, not yours, and unless you can walk in their shoes, you can't know what has brought them to where they now are.
We are innately more alike as mortal beings then we are different. When one is truly honest with their own heart, let it be that a mortal being is not perfect. The judgment is not for us to call.
Everyone has one's own reason for being, and is responsible for--not you.
Don't take life so seriously... let go and be silly often! The only difference between try and triumph is a little umph.

CHANGES>>>>>~@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$#@!
Any large group of people -- the citizens of a city, a country, the citizens of the world -- could easily get together to stop war and do things differently. So the "big guys" -- and the societies that we live in and the "big guys" profit from -- do everything they can to divide us from one another. ("Divide and conquer...") There are so many people we're not "supposed to" get to know!
-- What is racism but a really great way to keep individual "whites" and "people of color" from knowing each other, caring about each other, and joining together for a society of respect for all?
-- What is sexism but an ingenious way to divide every household from within -- the womenfolk’s and the men folks believing, much of the time, that we can never really understand and trust each other?
-- What is classism but a way to make sure people in "better" classes don't get to hear, respect, and use the sensible ideas of people "below" them -- and to make sure the "lower" people believe they have no useful ideas?
The divisive society cannot afford for you and me to compare notes on what it does to our lives. So, a basic, effective way to move toward peace is
-- To make friends with people who are different from us, and
-- To deepen our connection and trust with the people we already know
No more wrecking the Earth (especially not for profit). That humanity can and will find marvelously respectful ways to live as an equal partner among all the other creatures, the plant world, the interlocking life systems, and the air we breathe.
No more wasting of human gifts and genius. Each day, after being able to earn at least basic sustenance, everyone on Earth will have time and energy left over to think about, contribute to, and celebrate the wonderfulness of life.
Peace -> is us getting to work together to have things be the way we want them. Peace is all of us getting to enjoy our own and each other's unique genius and gifts :)

PEACE need to be educate...
PEACE need to be educate...
by Sayang Osman on Monday, 28 November 2011 at 16:27
Unfortunately the majority of the past generations didn`t realize the importance of Peace & that`s what I see here & in many places in the world that the new generations have no clue about Peace :(
PEACE has to be Educated alongside the Human Rights to our children , I think, PEACE IS A MATTER OF EDUCATION & THE KNOWLEDGE OF EACH OTHERS .
Please teach each of our children about PEACE & encourage them to know the other side First before Judging. Love all & respect all & never force your believes on any one, my dad always told me your attitude defines your faith & believes.
My message is Peace, is beyond human non sense & seeing the other who are different than me as an exciting cultural exploration is beyond human stupidity.
Just imagine all of the infinite possibilities which you are! Not what you could do, but who you really are! So, what can you imagine you can do? Don’t think about the logistics, just use your Heart and create an image in your mind of what you could do if you had unlimited power & resources.
The car won't move if you are always neutral. The car won't move if you are always clutching. The car moves best when fuelled by love, driven with awareness and steered peacefully by purpose.

I wish the whole of humanity would live by this motto, then there would be peace on earth.
Stick to your beliefs, if that serves you. Hold tight. Do not waiver. For your ideas about "right" and "wrong" are your definitions of Who You Are.
Yet do not require that others define themselves according to your terms. In other words, there is no such thing as right and wrong. There are only preferences.
I have always endeavoured to do so... And sometimes it's not so easy in the face of others trying to define you according to theirs. Persevere.
Everything you do, do out of sincerity, or the benefit of the action is lost. Natural Law requires the body, mind, and spirit to be united in thought, word, and action for the process of creation to work.
It's the ones that insist that we conform to their idea of right and wrong that I feel uncomfortable with.
But then again . . . when what you believe becomes your reason for killing people, then this is where a line has to be drawn.
There is an absolute moral line that binds us all. It may take more wars and deaths and more stories of remorse before the whole humanity wakes up to the presence of an unwavering rock, standing high and still, in the midst of the fiercest waves.
I am always open to listening to others views when it is applicable to the current circumstance(s) or life... but when it doesn't resonate to me or the situation at hand... then I AM willing to agree to disagree.
I also agree that it is never good to push what we believe in on others... acceptance and respect of another's beliefs, philosophies in life, practices and their own personal journey should be respected and honoured.
No one is ever wrong... they are all perfect in their time and place. It’s never a good thing to point out that they are doing things wrong or that they are less than whole... who are we to judge what is right and wrong for another person??
All we can do is sharing our own beliefs... but never from a righteous place or attitude.
Perfect day for it as well. Not everyone needs to feel sombre, mourn and embrace sadness on this day, but for those of you that do that fine as well. You are in the right place for you in this moment. :) I choose to embrace the growth and live in this moment. Love and Light.
No two minds are the same...its best we learn to embrace and open our hearts to everyone’s uniqueness with respect and gentility. :)
We are all beautiful in our own unique ways. What would like be like if everyone likes each other? :) Variety is the spice of life.
I must say that I have unplugged from so much of my beliefs and mostly it has made me happier. I always raise an eyebrow to any belief I hold that I cannot feel.
And if I can feel them then they are no longer beliefs, and about the word faith---is just embracing fully life and we are all life itself.
The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear...

There is an absolute moral line that binds us all. It may take more wars and deaths and more stories of remorse before the whole humanity wakes up to the presence of an unwavering rock, standing high and still, in the midst of the fiercest waves.
I am always open to listening to others views when it is applicable to the current circumstance(s) or life... but when it doesn't resonate to me or the situation at hand... then I AM willing to agree to disagree.
I also agree that it is never good to push what we believe in on others... acceptance and respect of another's beliefs, philosophies in life, practices and their own personal journey should be respected and honoured.
No one is ever wrong... they are all perfect in their time and place. It’s never a good thing to point out that they are doing things wrong or that they are less than whole... who are we to judge what is right and wrong for another person??
All we can do is sharing our own beliefs... but never from a righteous place or attitude.
Perfect day for it as well. Not everyone needs to feel sombre, mourn and embrace sadness on this day, but for those of you that do that fine as well. You are in the right place for you in this moment. :) I choose to embrace the growth and live in this moment. Love and Light.
No two minds are the same...its best we learn to embrace and open our hearts to everyone’s uniqueness with respect and gentility. :)
We are all beautiful in our own unique ways. What would like be like if everyone likes each other? :) Variety is the spice of life.
I must say that I have unplugged from so much of my beliefs and mostly it has made me happier. I always raise an eyebrow to any belief I hold that I cannot feel.
And if I can feel them then they are no longer beliefs, and about the word faith---is just embracing fully life and we are all life itself.
The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear...
Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change!
The best part in life is that we can change or mind anything we wish, if you don't get it how you like it, change it....again and again and again.
It is all about accepting what is occurring at this time and moment... Change is the only constant.
As the world evolves, so does the way we perceive it through education and awareness.
Life is that not only do we not all have to give the same answers to life's most important questions; we also do not have to stick with the answers that we have given.
Ultimately neither the questions nor their answers are important.
We don't have to maintain those old belief systems that hold us back from living a fulfilling meaningful life.
Free will is such a beautiful thing.
You can agree or disagreed with me on this, no one will judge you.
But you need to understand what you are going to disagree; a wised Indian master says:
"Take all the old clothes you have in your house and ask yourself: will I wear it again? If it's yes, keep them with you but if you won't wear it, throw or give them away. Because old clothes are a stagnating energy which prevent new energy to enter in your life."
It's the same with our though.
Change is good, change is constant, and change is fluid if you are willing to change your mind to go with the natural flow.
It has happened already whether you like it or not, changing is ongoing.
People are becoming more positive, openly acknowledge their actions.
Listening to what's around you, conscience is knocking.
I really cannot believe the world we live in is an illusion.
Until I understand.
We see the world as we are.
It is like waking up from a dream.
A dream that I thought was real.
Blessed be!!!

Trust, trusting????
What is there to gain by not trusting?
I would understand if the "not trusting" delivered an alternative for you, however, all it will deliver is uncertainty and that comes from fear.
Fear, is the opposite emotion of love....do you follow?
All anyone is suggesting you to do are trust in yourself. YOU, my friend, are the co- creator of your own reality.
What is there to not trust you about? Be clear and concise in what you want from the Universe, be convinced that you are deserving of what you are asking for, see it as done and let it go.
You say that the things that you want are "major changes" Well...it makes no difference to the Universe if what you want is a toy car or a mansion in the South of France, the size of the things we want has no bearing on your ability to co- create with the Universe...
Visualise what you want, talk about what you want, sing about what you want, write about what you want....and do it all in the present-tense, as if it has already happened.
Always visualise in the "now”.
Don't go about life as if you are going to get what you want....more precisely, go about life as if you already have what you want.
That is the key, trust in yourself, be very mindful of your thoughts and in the words of Mike Dooley.... "Thoughts become things, think the good ones”!!!!

This thing call HOPE
You are not a human being. You are not your body, you are not your mind, and you are not your soul. These are things that you have. The you that has these things - indeed, that has given your Self these things - is far bigger than any of them, and even all of them put together.
What we are is beyond words and labels. It must be felt or experienced. There is no sufficient explanation.
You are living in a dream of your own creation. Let it be the dream of a lifetime, for that is exactly what it is.
We cannot have peace on earth until we learn to listen to each other.
Disagreement is acceptable if all people are willing to debate them instead of trying to suppress them with force...
There can be no "one voice" as long as there is a "your truth" and a "my truth"....there is only ONE truth. If there are disagreements about what truth is, then either one or both of two "opposing" viewpoints is missing something.
We all seem to agree upon Love as being foundational in dealing with one another...unfortunately some believe "love" means to never apply reason to "their truth"...they call this "judging".
Sigh.
I think we should start with a loving acceptance of each other as people...as having within us a spark of the divine to be honoured. But at the same time, be willing to have our viewpoints and beliefs questioned, while REALLY listening to others.
As long as we are committed to discovering what is really true, I think we can come closer to a single voice...
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other

LOVE AND FEAR...
There are only two energies at the core of the human experience: love and fear. Love grants freedom, fear takes it away. Love invites full expression, fear punishes it. Love invites you, always, to break the bonds of ignorance.
The discussion of love and fear as the basic two emotions from which all others flow. Such a simple Truth. So very difficult to live out with Awareness in space and time, moment by moment.
The feeling of Love is the result of the condition of vibration harmonization, or the co-resonance of consciousness, between lover and the Beloved.
Absolute love IS the eternal vibration resonance of consciousness that holds the structure of the Cosmos together.
All conditions of disease, conflict, pain, and suffering are a direct result of vibration dissonance of individual consciousness with the God Mind.
This knowledge is ancient, but best expressed, I feel. The two underlying primary emotions of love vs. fear, that was I would say my "a-ha" moment!
What is fear really?
It stems from not knowing what is ahead or not being sure of making change. Either way, a lot of fear is felt for things that NEVER happen! This takes away from enjoying each and every moment that we experience. Keep a positive mindset, that only the best will happen in life, and you will be amazed at how much more joy you feel and how many wonderful things you will experience.
We are conditioned by our chosen experiences, and our minds are watchful and fearful, based on past experience. If we understand that the soul is the eternal entity, everlasting, never born and never dying, then we can eliminate the control that fear has over our mind.
Not an easy path, but by experiencing a tiny glimpse of the freedom that LOVE provides, gives you the strength to push forward, for it is always expanding. Develop the taste for Real Love.
At any given moment we have a choice is my intention to love or my intention to protect, based on fear - learning how to have an intention to love even in the face of fear is a path of courage and love!!!
Most people seems to live their life in fear of what have you...that seems to dampen a good and positive vibe at times....it is sad but that people reality sometimes....for me it’s a waste of precious time so I live life the best I know how....

Life..
Life always was, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. So, too, with God. For God is what Life is. So, too, with Love. For love is what God is.
All true education is the drawing out from the student what is already there. Teaching is never about helping others to learn but about helping them to remember. All learning is remembering. All teaching is reminding. All lessons are memories, recaptured.
Remember, as with all communications from God, take what you read as valuable, but not as infallible. Know that you are your own highest authority. Do not place your source of authority outside of you. But, rather, go within to see if the truth you've found is in harmony with the truth you find in your heart.
There can be no such thing as Superiority when We Are All One. A thing cannot be superior to itself. All things are One Thing, and there is nothing else. When you understand this, you begin experiencing life - and treating each other - in a new way.
It's easy to fall into the trap of interpreting perfection as things being ideal for whatever we want. And perfection is defined not as 'ideal' but rather as it just IS :o)
Life can be hard... But the phenomena of Life are always beautiful. Everything is connected to, or is a result of, something else...so as much as we might not like the circumstances, collectively we have the power to create and sustain the world we want... Universal law is impersonal, but makes perfect sense
Whether you think your life is perfect or imperfect it is. Your life is just how you choose to perceive it. If you so choose, you can leave all the imperfection behind and embrace only the perfection that is your life. From this moment forward, make the choice to do just that…perceives your life as perfect. Be grateful for your perception of perfection.
I realized for myself that life itself is always and ever. There's no possibility to hide from it nor to be without, even on the highest mountain, hottest desert, coldest pole or the deepest abyss. So I understood that life itself is the always and ever support I get. Realistically seen it's a way better 'feature' than any kind of human inventions. And the best thing is: it's for free for all of us!
Seek to get in touch with the perfection of all things. God cannot create anything imperfect. If you think that God can create anything imperfect, then you know nothing of God.

Acceptance
People spend whole lifetimes seeking that which they already have. They have it, because they are it. All you have to do to have love is to be love. You are beloved. Each of you. All of you.
Don't keep intellectualizing these truths; all it does is stay in the mind and not as an experience of life. The more you repeat these, the more useless it becomes...
Life is comprised of Love and Light. One is how it feels (Love) - the other is how it appears (Light) -- both are the essence Life. And we are all three, all at once, all the time!
Showing gratitude for that which you already have is the true key to opening up the door to receive! Enjoy each moment, be thankful and show gratitude at every opportunity.
Read the book "Love for no reason" - an invaluable book, one of the best I've ever read.
Same with enlightenment ... we already have enlightenment; all we have to do to have enlightenment is be enlightened! Act as if ... until we create the belief. So simple, that those busy complicating life miss it completely.
Love is the essence of the universe and the light of our souls.
There is no need to change anyone’s point of view about anything! Just be the light that leads by example of a life lived quietly, happily, joyfully! Expect no reward for good deeds done! Life is the reward!

Life lesson
It is true that love can lead so sorrow and hurt, but avoiding love is NEVER a good solution.
Hearts are meant to be open and full, not kept safe behind walls.
When one does not love too much, one does not love enough.
Hearts are meant to be open and full, not kept safe behind walls.
When one does not love too much, one does not love enough.

Synchronicity
Whenever we have the chutzpah to take the first risky step towards a defined and passionate goal, our path suddenly lines itself with opportunities, resources and helping hands.
Every opportunity for growth and change involves equal parts elbow grease and luck. It seems as soon as we make the choice to put some effort and personal risk into achieving a dream, other factors arrange themselves according.
The week we decide to take a class to learn a new hobby, we wind up having a conversation with someone who is skilled at that craft and would love to share some tips.
The day we decide to start a business, we get a call from a relative who knows a great potential client.
Everyone know that we need to put a lot of effort to achieve towards our goals. It's encouraging to know where will be plenty of help along the way.

Love lightens the burden
I see their soul, and I hold them in my hands, and because I love them they weigh nothing.
We can be guarded when caring for others and helping them with their problems.
What if their issues drain us?
What if they take up a lot of time?
When we reach out to others in compassion, we discover that the reaching out creates its own energy.
Love provides its own time and resources. The others' burden do not weigh us down when we let love carry the load.
Don't be afraid of having compassion for others, trust that love will fuel our actions.

A responsibility to care
Provision for others is a fundamental responsibility of human life.
Our most admirable moments are in times of trial, when one person sacrifices their time, resources, or safely to put another person first.
We don't have to wait for a major crisis to cultivate that attitude. Every day there are people on the planet struggling.
It's a privilege to reach out with whatever we have. As we help we remember we are not islands, we all need each other.
It is our responsibility to look out for the need of others. As we individually recognize this, we collectively begin to help heal the pain and need around us.

Know your convictions
We make judgment throughout each day, often without considering where our assumptions come from and whether they are grounded in fact or not.
It takes more work to examine our principles and honestly assess our beliefs, but it's much more satisfying. Breaking free from autopilot, we can question our own ideas and release ourselves to adjust and grow.
I am trying to developed well-grounded principles and my own life philosophy. I will test my thoughts and assumptions to make sure they are valid, then take a solid stand on these convictions.
We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the human beings are, so will be our ultimate truth.

Have an OPEN MIND
No matter how ‘good’ OR ‘bad’ you think things have been, they can be better. No matter how wonderful you think your theologies, your ideologies, your cosmologies, they can be full of even more wonder. For there are ‘more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy’.
BE OPEN. Don’t close off the possibility of new truth because you have been comfortable with an old one. Life begins at the end of our comfort zone.
Yet be not quick to judge another. Rather, seek to avoid judgement, for another person’s ‘wrongs’ were your ‘rights’ of another person’s mistake are your own past actions, now corrected; another person’s choices and decisions are as hurtful and harmful, as selfish and unforgivable as many of our own have been.
It is when you just cannot imagine how another person could do such a thing that you have forgotten where you came from, and where both you and the other person are going.
And to those of you who think yourselves to be the evil ones, who think yourselves to be unworthy and irredeemable, I tell you this; there is not a one among you who is lost forever, nor will there ever be. For you are all, all, in the process of becoming. You are all, all, moving thought the experience of evolution. That is what God is up to, through us.

Deal with anger
I used to store my anger when I was a child and it affected my play. Now I get it all out. I'm never rude, that's what I told myself, and I’m much focused on the ball. Then it's over. There are appropriate ways for me so express anger. I will find the best way for me to deal with it, so I can move on.
Stuffing our anger isn't a good way to deal with it. “Oh, it's not a big deal," we tell others. "I'm fine," even when it's not true.
There are ways to express anger. I always warned them, "I'm angry with you". In the safest relationship, we should be able to say we feel angry about something, but sometimes the other person isn't ready to handle it.
We may need to wait until later and then release our feelings through athletic activity or artistic expression.
Surprisingly, once we commit to expressing anger, it may take very little time before it dissipates.
When anger comes, start your machinery of calmness going; let your calmness move the cogwheel of peace, love, and forgiveness. With these antidotes, destroy anger.

Be positive...
The person who is "being" happy seems to have time to do everything that's really important, all the money that's needed, and enough love to last a lifetime.
So, we finds we has everything we needed to 'be happy’.....by 'being happy to begin with.
Deciding ahead of time what you choose to be produces that in our experience.
Happiness is a state of mind. And like all state of mind, it reproduces itself in physical form. Act as if you are, and you will draw it to you. What you act as if you are, you become. In other words, “Fake it until you make it.”
Yes, only we can’t really be “faking”. Our actions have to be sincere. EVERYTHING WE DO, DO OUT OF SINCERITY, OR THE BENEFIT OF THE ACTION IS LOST.
God does not ‘reward’ and ‘punish,’ as we know. But Natural Law requires the body, mind, and spirit to be united in thought, word, and action for the process of creation to work. We cannot fool our mind. If you are insincere, your mind knows it, and that’s that.
The mind may not be able to sincerely agree that the actions of the body can bring you that which you choose, but the mind seems very clear that God will bring good things through you to another. Therefore, whatever you choose for yourself, give to another.

Truly alive
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
It is easy to fill our life with mundane and petty urgencies. Time managers describe life as a glass jar, into which we place sand, pebbles, and larger
stones.
Many elements of our daily routine qualify as sand. Love, relationship, and a robust sense of wonder are the stones that are difficult to fit in the jar if
we let sand fill it up first.
Make time for life-filled activities first. Is it pragmatic??? Honestly, not always. A few to-do list items may get lost in the shuffle.
The adjustment may be awkward, but our life becomes richer, our mind more alert, and we are happier as we complete our other TASKS.
Releasing all our concerns, we have to take this moment to reflect in wonder and gratitude - TO LIVE!
It is easy to fill our life with mundane and petty urgencies. Time managers describe life as a glass jar, into which we place sand, pebbles, and larger
stones.
Many elements of our daily routine qualify as sand. Love, relationship, and a robust sense of wonder are the stones that are difficult to fit in the jar if
we let sand fill it up first.
Make time for life-filled activities first. Is it pragmatic??? Honestly, not always. A few to-do list items may get lost in the shuffle.
The adjustment may be awkward, but our life becomes richer, our mind more alert, and we are happier as we complete our other TASKS.

Healthy people live with their world.
A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to
catch it from others. Be a carrier. We have heard of
this phase time and time again – ‘A healthy outside starts from the
inside’and I do think it is true. Eat healthy food; I became a fanatic about healthy food
in 1996 after Adam was born. I want to see my child grow up....and
it pays. I eat really healthy, and if I'm tired, I take a nap. I feel pretty good.
My body actually looks like an old banana, but its fine.
I had my moments when I got very frightened that I
would not recover whenever I’m down with something. I really believe the only way to stay healthy is to eat properly, get your
rest and exercise. If you don't exercise and do the other two, I still don't
think it's going to help you that much.
Arguments are healthy too. They clear the air, as long as both can agree to disagree.
Being cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is
as friendly to the mind as to the body.
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to
play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes
also a matter of opportunity.
I believe it is important for people to create a
healthy mental environment in which to accomplish daily tasks.
I
believe that how you feel is very important to how you look - that healthy equals
beautiful.
I
believe that if you're healthy, you're capable of doing everything. There's no
one else who can give you health but God, and by being healthy I believe that
God is listening to me.
At times I'm exhausted trying to stay healthy.
I'm still healthy as can be even if I’m having a chest infection, because I've made a promise
to myself to be a 100% healthy person if nothing else. I love me too much, if you're happy, if you're feeling good, then
nothing else matters. It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got
to have the heart and soul to go with it too.
Well, ‘liberty is to the collective body, what
health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by
man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society’ says Henry St.
John and I’m agreeing with him. Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew
yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
My health may be better preserved if I exert myself
less, but in the end doesn't each person give his/her life for their calling? My body is like breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.
The body is a sacred garment. My personal goals are to be happy, healthy
and to be surrounded by loved ones. ‘The way you think, the way you behave, the
way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years’, says Deepak Chopra.
You know, true love really
matters, friends really matter, and family really matters. Being responsible
and disciplined and healthy really matters.
Your body hears everything your mind says.

CHANGES...
A lot of people get impatient with the pace of change. Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and
error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear;
out of our fear, clearer vision, and fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.
All changes, even the most longed for, have their
melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to
one life before we can enter another....so it is said.
Always remember that the future comes one day at a time. Any
change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and
discomforts. Because things are the way
they are, things will not stay the way they are. To me, change alone is eternal, perpetual, and
immortal. We all have big changes in our
lives that are more or less a second chance.
Change before you have to, it brings opportunity. To most change
is such hard work. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of
changing himself. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot
change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the
difference.
If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really
living. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Sometimes it’s the
smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that
has brought progress. We emphasize that
we believe in change because we were born of it, we have lived by it; we
prospered and grew great by it. So the status quo has never been our god, and
we ask no one else to bow down before it.
We live in a moment of history where change is so
speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already
disappearing. Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot
find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult
for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we
suffer.

Reconciliation
You cannot undo the past
But you can change the future
To reconnect with someone
First forgive yourself
You're human, you mess up
Then forgive the other
They're human too
If you do mess up, 'fess up and apologise
Saying sorry goes a long way
Meaning it goes even further
REMEMBER, the sooner you can laugh about it,
the sooner you can laugh about it together
But you can change the future
To reconnect with someone
First forgive yourself
You're human, you mess up
Then forgive the other
They're human too
If you do mess up, 'fess up and apologise
Saying sorry goes a long way
Meaning it goes even further
REMEMBER, the sooner you can laugh about it,
the sooner you can laugh about it together
Be Here, NOW
It really is NOW or NEVER. Life is fleeting.
Miss the moment and it’s gone forever
To make the most of life, make the most of every moment.
Forget the past, ignore the future, and be present to the present, NOW!
To be here right NOW,
Look around. Where are you? How do you feel?
Notice your breathing. The sounds all around you.
Your thoughts as they pass.
See the back of your hand.
Look closely.
Focus.
Observe.
What can you see that you’ve never seen before?
Be with your hand. Be your hand.
Just be.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been,
It doesn’t matter where you’re going
IT ONLY MATTERS YOU’RE AT!

Practice of affirmations
Affirmations do not work if they are merely statement of what you want to be true.
Affirmations work only when they are statement of something you already know to be true.
The best so-called affirmation is a statement of gratitude and appreciation. “Thank you, God, for bringing me success in my life.”
Now, that idea, thought, spoken, and acted upon, produces wonderful results – when it comes from true knowing, not from an attempt to produce results, but from awareness that result have already been produces.
If, now, there is something you choose to experience in your life, DO NOT “wants” it – choose it.

Those who are nice to know
There are some that we met in passing
and forget them as soon as they go,
There are some we remember with pleasure
because they are so nice to know,
There are those who at first seem appealing
whose ethics and standards seem high,
But slowly we grow disillusioned
and esteem and respect fade and die,
But it is surely refreshing
to find in this wide world today,
People who grow even greater
in all that they do and say.

Let there be light!
The light of the Creator is ever-present and willing to fulfil our need and desire. Herein lays the secret to activating the prayers of humankind.
The actual switch is our own behaviour. The moment you apply the concept of resistance in your life, it’s akin to a heading flipping on the light.
We must resist our desire to blame others
We must resist our urge to one-up and outdo our friends and foes
We must resist our impulse to take it all for ourselves, and instead, share a hefty-sized portion with others.
We must resist our doubt about the truth of the Creator, especially when no one is looking
We must resist the impulse of envy and not cast the ‘evil eye’ at our best friends or worst enemies.
This is how we turn on the switch. This is how we answer our own prayers, NOT God.
Always make an attempt to arouse certainty of joy and fulfilment in the future along with true happiness in what has already been given to you. This not only ensures that you will receive all that God intends for you and also brings protection from painful losses right now.
Use it or lose it, is an important principle, and the best use of God’s gifts begins with sincere appreciation.
This is what I said to myself all the time – “Just as I am certain that my life will be filled with abundance in the future, so do I appreciate what I have right now”

Love lightens the burden
I see their souls, and I hold them in my hands, and because I love them they weigh nothing.
We can be guarded when caring for others and helping them with their problems.
What if their issues drain us?
What if they take up a lot of time?
When we reach out to others in compassion, we discover that the reaching out creates its own energy.
Love provides its own time and resources. The others' burdens do not weigh us down when we let love carry the load.
Please do not be afraid of having compassion for others, trust that love will fuel our actions.

Physical Limits
Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabits the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
Sometimes the requests we make of our bodies go over and above the call of duty and outside the realm of healthy discipline.
Missing sleeps, eating poorly, sitting at an unhealthy work station, rarely exercising, or lifting something that is too heavy - all can result in bad health or injury.
The body's desires are fairly straightforward: nourishment, shelter, self-care, rest, and movement.
It's not surprising that those elements make for a balanced life for the soul, too.
When we honour and respect what our body needs to stay healthy, we find ourselves living a life that is healthier for our soul and mind as well. So, be more alert to our physical needs.

Many interests, many friends
I cannot concentrate all my friends on any single one of my friends because NO one is complete enough in him or herself.
Each one of us is an unusual mix of interests, preferences, ideas and passions.
No single person is likely to enjoy all our facets. It can cause tension when we expect a dear friend to make up one of our interests just because we want a partner.
It's far more gracious to satisfy our need for social connection by meeting and making friends with a wide range of people.
One person goes swimming with us, another likes to discuss spirituality, and another enjoys our hobby of making quilts....there are many good pals who can meet us where ever we're at, whatever we're doing.
My best friend might not enjoy everything that I do. That's okay, I will make a few new friends who like some of the interests that I've been enjoying lately.

Swim for it!
Step into the water if your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it!
Successful people seem to have a knack for making their own opportunities or getting closer to opportunities they've heard about. If we sit and wait for success to suddenly materialize, there is a chance it will spontaneously happen - but it's a slim chance, indeed!
When we have a 'dream', there is only one way to see it through; Set a course and then begin taking a few small steps into the water....DO NOT wait for hands out, work towards it....
And IF you were given a helping hand just be thankful for it and be grateful that you did get help...DO NOT turn around thinking that the person who have had helped you owe you something; they are just doing you a favour and NOTHING more.
The next time YOU hear yourself talking about 'luck' or 'chance', THINK of a way of how can you better the odds of achieving your goal, and then take a small step in the right direction.

Self-sufficient happiness
Happiness belongs to those who are sufficient into themselves. For all external sources of happiness and pleasure are, by their very nature, highly uncertain, precarious, ephemeral, and subject to chance.
We are all interdependent; our friendship and interactions are precious and can be sources of great joy. But, we cannot depend so much on others that we need them to make us happy.
The happiest people simmer with gladness regardless of whether they are in happy circumstances. A healthy self-sufficiency is the first step in developing an unshakable sense of joy.
Sometimes I feel happy because of a conversation, event, or enjoyable activity. We don't have to rely only on those sources of happiness, however. we can find happiness within ourselves.
