The thing about being catapulted into a whole new life--or at least, shoved up so hard against someone else's life that you might as well have your face pressed against their window--is that it forces you to rethink your idea of who you are. Or how you might seem to other people.
Later that day when I walked down this dried-out riverbed, enjoying the last rays of sunshine on my bare skin, I felt a deep inner peace coming up straight from my heart.

That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
She was a ray of sunshine, a warm summer rain, a bright fire on a cold winter’s day, and now she could be dead because she had tried to save the man she loved.
Oh honey, someday a real man is going to make you see stars and you won't even be looking at the sky." Excerpt from Grace Willow's Last Minute Bride
You are enough to drive a saint to madness or a king to his knees.
You are enough to drive a saint to madness or a king to his kneesExcerpt from To Kiss a King by Grace WillowsComing this summer to Amazon Kindle and paperback.
Don't live the same day over and over again and call that a life. Life is about evolving mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
Dharma is not about believing in God. It’s about making the right choices, doing the right things and leading the right life.
I'm not convinced that the universe is balanced. Maybe for the universe to be balanced, first we need to be balanced, becauseit's only then can balance really be delivered. I'm pretty sure if I view the world as a bitter, twisted individual, all I will meet are other bitter, twisted people. When I acknowledge my emtions, but embrace awareness I find balance. When I fight my emotions I find imbalance.
Whether you choose to move on from your struggles and enjoy life or waddle in your misery, life will continue.
Wisdom comes from making mistakes, having the courage to face them, and make adjustments moving forward based upon the knowledge aquired through those experiences.
Money does not dictate your lifestyle, it's what you do to get it and how you manage your finances that determines your lifestyle.
Be around people that make you want to be a better person, who make you feel good, make you laugh, and remind you what's important in life.
Focus on your work. Do what you're great at. Don't compare yourself to others and or waste time criticizing the lives and work of others. Do what matters most to you and make a difference doing that.
Look for solutions, instead of being difficult; be more thoughtful, instead of allowing anger to burn you out. Look at things from a different perspective, embrace change, look out for opportunities and you will feel much more in control.
Ignite the light within you, it will make your world brighter.
If the surprise outcome of the recent UK referendum - on whether to leave or remain in the European Union - teaches us anything, it is that supposedly worthy displays of democracy in action can actually do more harm than good. Witness a nation now more divided; an intergenerational schism in the making; both a governing and opposition party torn to shreds from the inside; infinitely more complex issues raised than satisfactory solutions provided. It begs the question 'Was it really all worth it' ?
Don't spend your life wondering "what if" and worrying over something you have no control. What's done is done. Looking backwards will cause you to miss out on new blessings ahead. Move on.
Think about every good thing in your life right now. Free yourself of worrying. Let go of the anxiety, breathe. Stay positive, all is well.
Blind-believers and staunch atheists have the same god - namely, a self-deluded, one's own shadow's bot.

Whatever is meant for you the universe shall be given to you. Do not despair.
If you do not completely accept yourself, you can not love yourself fully. It would be hard to love anything unconditionally.
Everything starts from inside of us, then comes outside of us.
Don't believe everything you are told, if it resonates within you, then listen and act.
You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.
Reality is a projection of your thoughts or the things you habitually think about.
Be yourself and become wealthy!
To put it simply, the lizard brain is purely concerned with survival.
Becoming wealthy is about accumulating wealth.
In a culture of hyper-consumption the advertising industry has brainwashed many people into believing they can raise their status just by driving a particular brand of whatever it is they are pushing at you.
Do not invest time and money into yourself to have others completely destroy it!
After one divorce and other on the way I am seriously considering a ME-rriage now and .t's going to be epic! I will ask my hand in meTRInomy, for it will become a trigamy. And me, my higher self and third I will live happily ever after life...We will live in threesomeness!
There’s no such thing as negative energy on the spiritual plane. It is an illusion. All negative energy comes from the ego. What we call negative experiences are only contradictions of the human ego’s belief…how we think we want things to be. When we can’t control, or when things don’t work as we expect, we think it is negative. It is not, it just is.
Remove whatever you no longer need in your life, to make room for what you do need in your life.
As much as the destination ends the journey, so it is of the dream coming true.
Making time for what you really want to do can be a full-time job, but only if you allow it to be.
We all have a voice of sorts and when put with others we make a good sound.
To secure victory, first you have to dare to do so.
Triumphing over great difficulties can lead to great happiness.
None of us is born a genius, it self-ignites within us.
The prize is as big as the fight in you to get it.
Without doing anything physical you can use the hands of your mind to change the world.
A man can be knocked down a thousand times and can still get back up, but when he puts himself down he has defeated himself more than a million others could have done.
Talent does not automatically generate success. You can be talentless, but so long as you have fortitude then you will have success.
Unless someone has lived your life, no one can live your dream!
When you only focus on your goals you never see any obstacles.
When you face fear head on, it is no more!
We can all be giants in moments of peace and harmony, but to stay a giant in adversity is the true test of one’s mettle.
It is pointless waiting for the moment because you are already in the moment so just get started!
If someone wants to be in your world then they will be anything you want them to in it.
To consciously meditate is to lose influence over the outer world.
Your attitudes towards others affect what you think about yourself.
Abundance does not come in packages, it comes from the happiness within.
Serenity within the chaos of life is there to be discovered, just look within yourself for it.
Sometimes only when opportunity stops banging to be let in do we notice its absence!
Materialism allows for a greater vision!
No matter how things appear have faith that they are always working out for you. Relax knowing that the universe is taking care of it. Your faith in a solution allows your vibration to rise, allowing your awareness to have access to ideas, help and solutions that reside at that higher frequency. Instagram: #aMessageOfLove
Have a specific vision / goal / dream, and power it with general and genuine feelings of love, appreciation, peace, abundance and passion...and always leave room for the universe to bring you even better. If you don't get what you desire it only ever means that you're destined for even greater. ( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )
There is no glory in making yourself small, build yourself up. Believe in your abilities and worth, show the world who you are, love yourself fully, take action on your dreams, no more hiding away and being apologetic. What you believe you are you will become. Know you're destined for success. ( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )
Be a survivor of the past, not a reviver of it. Your attention to that painful past either by resisting it or by consistently focusing upon it will continue to persist it. The present will continue to be powered by, and become a product of that painful past, Until you begin to acknowledge, allow and accept the past, it will continue to become your future. ( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )
Expect success of yourself, no matter what you desire, intend to do it, to be it. Hoping and wishing for success isn't going to cut it. That energy isn't going to create success. Your FAITH is creative, you've got to know and intend for it to happen. Feeling that at a vibrational level it ALREADY has.( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )
No matter what you desire to be or see, contemplate / meditate upon the idea of there being an unlimited abundance of it. Your belief is scarcity and limitation regarding your desire is keeping it from you. How you define something is how it must appear. Faith in abundance draws things to you, your faith in lack / limitation takes away what you already have. ( Instagram: #aMessageOfLove )
With a burning ambition, sustained focus, and daily action - there simply are no limits to what you will achieve.
The real winners I've met in life weren't necessarily skilled or perfect. They just had the tenacity to never, ever give up.
Your hopes and dreams are like a giant helium balloon, tugging on your hand to take you above the clouds, to that quiet place of peace and contentment. All you have to do is stop resisting, to let go - and ALLOW your hopes and dreams to take you there.
If all your focused thoughts followed your inner feelings, your life would be abundant and joyful beyond all imagining.
By nature you are a manifesting machine!
Feelings are the directional impulses of your soul. Your soul always wants you to go into the direction of greater joy.
Focus on lack and you will always struggle to create enough money.
When you allow your mind to ONLY have positive thoughts towards your desired outcome you are saying to the Universe that you are devoted to manifesting your dream.
First, be better than yourself, then strive to better than your competitors.
Feeling undeserving is never compatible with the ability to attract or create wealth.
Forgiveness is remembering the truth of who you are.
One of the aims of forgiveness is to turn the frozen, pent-up energy in stored-up emotions into free energy that people can express themselves with in the present.
Each manifestation is an ascension opportunity. All manifestations teach something about oneself and mirror one’s own unconscious state of being.
For aspirants upon the spiritual path, each manifestation provides clues as to what needs to be released or cleared in order to continue to ascend.
The Universe supports doers.
Love is not jealous, angry or afraid.
In mystical terms, the law of attraction specifies that you will attract to yourself those experiences that match your beliefs.
Growing older does not automatically mean growing kinder or wiser.
By thinking of the good things you want to happen as part of a regular routine, you are creating a positive energy.
Your thoughts and feelings together create an ‘energetic blueprint’ that is constantly being emitted out into the world.
The truth is, the source of existence is infinite and to discover the essence of it is an unfolding that lasts for eternity.
If you do not have the time to become healthy then so it is the same of becoming wealthy.
By simply and profoundly giving love to yourself everyday in every way you are saying to the Universe you are worthy of attaining any dream, vision or goal. Feel worthy of it.
Big or small, be ready to do your part when you dare to dream and you will be rewarded with success from the Universe.
If you were brought up on a poor man’s brand of drink and prefer that to this very day then do not pretend you like expensive wine.
I know a lot of wealthy people, and yet not many of them drive a Rolls Royce or a Ferrari! However, I also know some of poor people on the verge of bankruptcy driving Bentleys!
However, what I have come to understand from my life’s journey is that I am always in the right place at the right time. In fact, there is no other place I could possibly be.
Dare to believe that there is something better for you and that you can change your future and make it better.
With a clear idea of what you want in life, you need to actively pursue your dream. Half-hearted attempts will not work.
Dreams give purpose to one’s life. If you do not wish anything better for yourself or for your loved ones, then life loses meaning.
There are many fun things to do in life, but few that are more rewarding than committing to living the life of your dreams.
Often the unfavorable events of our lives are a catalyst for long needed change, so what seemed like a poor decision in the beginning can result in much better quality of life in the long term.
Do not look back at the decision, look for the solution.
When it comes to creating million dollar inventive ideas, most people stop short of reaching the mother stratum while mining their own seam of gold! Genius takes effort and passion.
There is doggedness to genius. It is the ability to dig deep and hold on to the dream.
It is easy to be average. It takes no endeavor at all to be like everybody else.
When we give up our dreams then we are merely existing and not living.
Be who you are longing to be, practice thinking of yourself as the person of your dreams.
Only when you verbalize your interests will the Universe be able to come to your aid.
Your dreams may have been buried inside of you for a long time because you were busy with things that needed to get done, but it is never too late to dare to dream.
Self-expression is an important requirement if you desire to make giant leaps in your career.
Working on your dream whenever it is convenient for you will not work. When you dare to dream, you should also dare to do.
Everybody has dreams and goals. All you have to do is dig them up.
Looking flash without the cash is worthless!
Stash the cash and stop being flash if you want to give being wealthy a bash!
Each of us channel through the rest of us, which is true on every plane of being and in every field of enterprise and in all walks of life.
All we are in possession of is the result of the snowballing attitude of our minds.
When it comes to manifesting anything you desire, sometimes you have to go and collect.
As the Universe brings your desires towards you, sometimes you must take the path it lays out for you so that you can be in the right place to receive it.
Positive words can bend your world in your favor.
Millionaires, though, see objects like diamonds and good feelings merely as fruits. The root of true wealth, in fact, stems from your behaviors.
When you are able to identify what drives you, you will be better equipped to draw out your possible options and make the relevant decisions that will help you achieve your goals.
Discovering how the Universe will manifest all of your dreams for you is going to be an exciting journey that will harmonize the trinity of your mind, body and spirit.
Creating abundance must start from within ourselves.
Leaving your future to pot luck is holding you back, you are worth more than anything, yet why do you leave everything to chance?
The foundation of all personal development, actually, is self-acceptance and self-love.
Your level of vibration runs parallel with your feelings, meaning you are in control of your life and the events that come into your life at any given moment.
Base your self-esteem on truth.
Gratitude raises your awareness and focus and it can inspire you to achieve better for yourself and the people around you.
Once you realize that everything in the Universe is connected then you will have a better understanding of the fundamental nature of manifesting.
What is energy? Everything is energy.
The higher the vibration, the more positive the events or people you attract and likewise.
Time is manmade! It is simply an invention! Believe it or not, time only exists here on earth for us humans.
The second step that comes right after taking responsibility for everything that occurs in your life is to let go of all that you do not feel good about.
The first step to reclaim your power to control your own life is to take responsibility for your life completely.
To make initial inroads into manifesting a new life, first one has to acknowledge their current life.
Just as you first eat with your eyes, you also first desire things with your subconscious mind!
No matter what you say to someone else, you always hear it first.
A thoughtform is rather like electricity … it must first be created and then discharged in order to exist.
Just think how many thousands of years nature has spent sculpting rocks for us! I can tell you, I have learned that just because it was that way yesterday, it does not mean that it should be that way tomorrow.
Unlocking the power of your subconscious mind is a simple process, requiring only your willingness and effort.
Being able to unlock your subconscious mind depends on knowing what you want before you can achieve it.
One BIG thing you overlooked when setting out on living the adventure of being wealthy was that you overlooked your current reality!
Imagine repeating the power words ‘love’ or ‘happiness’ for five minutes twice a day for the rest of your life, amazing things could happen.
You can create financial abundance by having a positive relationship with money.
Everything is energy, and energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed or mutated from one form to another.
When you begin to entertain the more positive possibilities, hope for the best, plan for the best and expect the best, your eventual attraction of the best possible circumstances is almost guaranteed.
Sometimes to change a situation you are in requires you to take a giant leap. But, you won't be able to fly unless you are willing to transform.
For me I see the world as one big nation, where everyone in it is a citizen, so it is our responsibility to make it better.
I've a very simple yet powerful present for you the one reading this. - I LOVE YOU.
Motivation is a state of mind, just like discouragement.
Do you truly believe in the worthiness of your dreams? Do you truly think they are worth the consistent effort required to make them manifest? Once you truly believe, nothing can stop you but yourself, for such belief is the same power which creates and maintains all existence.
More than being human, we need peace and love.More than being strong and capable, we need compassion.More than being clever, we need kindness and gentleness.But where are all these sense of humanity?Where is the love that we have for human life and nature?Where is the peace that we once had?What about our dreams, dream of a better world?Little children are crying, am beginning to feel guilty.Where is that sense of brotherhood?Where is the compassion?What about our faith, have we lost trust in God?
I love death because life hates me.
Life is like that...sometimes you have to peel off the bitterness in order to get to the part that is sweet.
I didn't say I can change the whole world with all it entirety alone. But I can strike on a lot of things and cause a rift, and bring so many things together.
Her words are her wings. She's flying.
Kind words change the world.
Film gives us a second chance at a first impression.
The best writing speaks when the heart whispers.
How about when you feel as if you are at a treacherous crossing, facing an area of life that hasn’t even been on the map until recently. Suddenly there it is, right in front of you.And so the time and space in between while you first get over the shock of it, and you have to figure out WHAT must be done feels excruciating. It’s a nightmare you can’t awaken from. You might remember this time as a kind of personal D-day, as in damage, devastation, destruction, damnation, desolation – maybe a difficult divorce, or even diagnosis of some formidable disease. These are the days of our lives that whole, beautiful chapters of life go up in flames. And all you can do is watch them burn. Until you feel as though you are left only with the ashes of it all. It is at this moment you long for the rescue and relief that only time can provide. It is in this place, you must remember that in just 365 days – you're at least partially healed self will be vastly changed, likely for the better. Perhaps not too unlike a caterpillar’s unimaginable metamorphosis.Better. Stronger. Wiser. Tougher. Kinder. More fragile, more firm, all at the same time as more free. You will have gotten through the worst of it – somehow. And then it will all be different. Life will be different. You will be different. It might or might not ever make sense, but it will be more bearable than it seems when you are first thrown, with no warning, into the kilns of life with the heat stoked up – or when you get wrapped up, inexplicably, through no choice of your own, in a dark, painfully constricting space. Go ahead, remind yourself as someone did earlier, who was trying miserably to console you. It will eventually make you a better, stronger person. How’d they say it? More beautiful on the inside…It really will, though. That’s the kicker. Even if, in the hours of your agony, you would have preferred to be less beautiful, wise, strong, or experienced than apparently life, fate, your merciless ex, or a ruthless, biological, or natural enemy that has attacked silently, and invisibly - has in mind for you. As will that which your God feels you are capable of enduring, while you, in your pitiful anguish, are yet dubious of your own ability to even endure, not alone overcome.I assure you now, you will have joy and beauty, where there was once only ashes. In time. Perhaps even more than before. It’s so hard to imagine and believe it when it’s still fresh, and so, so painful. When it hurts too much to even stand, or think, or feel anything. When you are in the grip of fear, and you remember the old familiar foe, or finally understand, firsthand, in your bones, what that actually means.
Tell me, who have never be knocked down by life’s circumstances? It takes grace and enough strength, to get up and begin again
When you turn your dreams on there is no off switch.
Create your own out of the box thinking, create your own box.
If being in the NOW doesn’t work, don’t worry as there is always another one tomorrow!
Ignorance breeds success.
Follow your heart. It will lead you to where you need to be.
The difficulties and challenges in your life are the lessons you need to learn to grow and development.
Failures and mistakes are lessons to be learned from. They are opportunities for growth.
We are all teachers, we all have knowledge and experiences that can teach others.
Your past karma is what you found difficult or challenging in this life. To heal your past karma you would need to learn your life lessons for this life.
Your beliefs attract to you the life you experience.
For success we need to focus with a converging thought process.
You can radically alter the worth of your life when you develop inner voices that serve and support your true purpose.
Stop wasting any more time looking outside of 'you' for what is not there. Look within and you will find the treasure you seek.
A self-limiting belief is no stronger than the flimsy rope that tethers an elephant by its foot.
Repeating positive installing statements for a few minutes, and then thinking negatively the rest of the day neutralizes the effects of the positive words.
Once upon a time it took many years of hard work to establish a winning business, but today that time scale has been cut down to months … not years.
To acquire great wealth quickly you must be a person who shares generously.
No matter how small you start, always dream and think BIG. If you start with small thoughts then you will stay with small thoughts.
You have to see every unit of currency that passes through your hands as a seed to your financial future.
The secret to becoming wealthy and successful is thinking wealthy and successful!
Instead of thinking 'law of attraction', think 'unlimited abundance'.
The only difference, apart from heaps of cash, between someone who is wealthy and someone who is poor is having the right mindset and attitude.
The poor want a few dollars more - the rich focus on making more.
If you solely focus only on financial survival then that is where you will always be.
The wealthy do not focus on day-to-day short-term survival. Successful people focus on wealth building assets.
Do you know why the rich get richer? It’s is because they spend time with other rich people.
You have to learn when it’s best to delegate those hard physical jobs to others while you tackle the heavy thinking.
One of the biggest secrets of success is delegation. Exactly the method Sir Richard Branson uses! If it helped him become a billionaire businessman then it is worth utilizing in your own life/business, etc.
What we imagine to be true becomes true.
Success is not usually the result of pure chance or fluke. Mind you, neither is a failure the result of bad luck.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
I mean everyone has a different opinion of you – so many boxes for you to fit into!
All your strength must come from within, because no external source can provide it.
Every day there are opportunities for me, and I take them.
Do what other successful people are doing, that is how you can be brilliant.
Don’t look on in awe, emulate your idols and become one in the process.
Words and statements work both ways - to build or destroy.
Whatever feelings you think you would have if your financial goals were met, feel them now!
Only when your old mental patterns have been ditched will you be able to put your ideas into action.
Thought awareness is the first step in the process of managing negative thoughts, as you cannot manage thoughts that you are unaware of.
If you want new results, get a new mindset!
Dreams are never too big, you will grow into them.
If you network you need to network with people who can help you.
Before you can make your dreams work, you have to get out of bed!!
I am successful and I love the fact that being successful allows me to choose the 'when', 'why', 'where' and 'how' of spending my time and energy.
No one is going to put their life on hold and do it for you – they are too busy frantically peddling their own lives along to stop and give you a hand.
Any ideas how we can develop a strategy for success? The answer is ... developing an action plan. It’s that simple!
Yes believe it or not all self-made millionaires have had to get their hands dirty at some point in their rags to riches story.
According to your strategy plan and how it looks is commensurate with how much effort you will apply to achieving success.
Split-second decision-making sets winners apart from losers.
Getting out of bed with a smile on your face most days is the start of being and knowing you are successful.
Perhaps you have an appetite to help others, to give of yourself so that others can have a better life ... and in so doing you yourself become successful.
A releasing statement works as though you are holding your belief tightly in your hand, then put your arm out and let it go! A releasing statement removes stumbling blocks from your mind, once done then you can use affirmations with success.
You don’t have to affirm the positive after you have released a negative belief!
It doesn't matter what other people think of you. What really matters is what you think of yourself.
Nobody is really an expert, as we are all still learning.
Perfection is based on your own perception of what is perfect to you
Opportunity for success never sleeps, just those not chasing it!
One day you may just do that!
Success is simply a state of mind.
A smile is much lighter to carry than a frown!
When you are focused on what you're doing, you are not going to miss the next opportunity ... it's more likely that you get more!
You’ve got to reach bedrock to become depressed enough before you are forced to accept the reality and enormity of the problem.
Love brings you closer to yourself
Your reality is a reflection of yourself
You are consciousness within your body and mind
My dearest friend Abigail, These probably could be the last words I write to you and I may not live long enough to see your response but I truly have lived long enough to live forever in the hearts of my friends. I thought a lot about what I should write to you. I thought of giving you blessings and wishes for things of great value to happen to you in future; I thought of appreciating you for being the way you are; I thought to give sweet and lovely compliments for everything about you; I thought to write something in praise of your poems and prose; and I thought of extending my gratitude for being one of the very few sincerest friends I have ever had. But that is what all friends do and they only qualify to remain as a part of the bunch of our loosely connected memories and that's not what I can choose to be, I cannot choose to be lost somewhere in your memories. So I thought of something through which I hope you will remember me for a very long time. I decided to share some part of my story, of what led me here, the part we both have had in common. A past, which changed us and our perception of the world. A past, which shaped our future into an unknown yet exciting opportunity to revisit the lost thoughts and to break free from the libido of our lost dreams. A past, which questioned our whole past. My dear, when the moment of my past struck me, in its highest demonised form, I felt dead, like a dead-man walking in flesh without a soul, who had no reason to live any more. I no longer saw any meaning of life but then I saw no reason to die as well. I travelled to far away lands, running away from friends, family and everyone else and I confined myself to my thoughts, to my feelings and to myself. Hours, days, weeks and months passed and I waited for a moment of magic to happen, a turn of destiny, but nothing happened, nothing ever happens. I waited and I counted each moment of it, thinking about every moment of my life, the good and the bad ones. I then saw how powerful yet weak, bright yet dark, beautiful yet ugly, joyous yet grievous; is a one single moment. One moment makes the difference. Just a one moment. Such appears to be the extreme and undisputed power of a single moment. We live in a world of appearance, Abigail, where the reality lies beyond the appearances, and this is also only what appears to be such powerful when in actuality it is not. I realised that the power of the moment is not in the moment itself. The power, actually, is in us. Every single one of us has the power to make and shape our own moments. It is us who by feeling joyful, celebrate for a moment of success; and it is also us who by feeling saddened, cry and mourn over our losses. I, with all my heart and mind, now embrace this power which lies within us. I wish life offers you more time to make use of this power. Remember, we are our own griefs, my dear, we are our own happinesses and we are our own remedies.Take care!Love,Francis.Title: Letter to AbigailScene: "Death-bed"Chapter: The Road To Awe
Dare to courageous in life.You have nothing to lose.
Courage is being who you are.Courage is sacred of thyself.
Tough love and brutal truth from strangers are far more valuable than Band-Aids and half-truths from invested friends, who don’t want to see you suffer any more than you have.
We can’t control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we respond to things we can’t control.
We are already abundant, we have everything we need within us, to live a purposeful and fulfilling life.
The universe only exist within us. All of what is outside of us is also within us.
Let go of how you perceive others and how others perceive you.
Thoughts create emotions, emotions create feelings and feelings create behaviour. So it’s very important that our thoughts are positive, to attract the right people, events and circumstances into our lives.
Focus on what you can do right now, not what you can't do right now
To change your life, you need to become aware of yourself
Replace the word can’t with can. Know that you can, believe that you can, and know with ALL of your heart that you will. You will succeed in spite of any obstacles that may try to hinder you! There’s so much power in having a positive attitude, positive mindset, and positive outlook.
Do what makes YOU happy. Focus on what brings YOU joy. Appreciate and do more things that make YOU smile. Live your life for yourself. You matter! You count! You’re deserving of true happiness! This is YOUR life. Live it to the fullest! Live life with no regrets.
People spend their entire lives searching the world for the pieces that will make them whole, yet those pieces are only found within them.
We are all a little schizophrenic. Each of us has three different people living inside us every day—who you were, who you are and who you will become. The road to sanity is to recognize those identities, in order to know who you are today.
Divorce is the start point for a brand new life. Don't lose the chance to redesign it upon your dreams!
...today, I’m writing about the extraordinary; those ‘moments’ in life that reach us, and change us. Those moments take place all the time, really – it’s just that we’re taught not to notice. We’re taught that whims are for the foolish; that instinct and passion are more akin to fairy tales than reality; that they won’t get us very far, and everyone would laugh at us if they knew what we really held close to our hearts.It’s a lie we allow ourselves, and it’s understandable.But it’s simply not true.
Success is to wake up each morning and consciously decide that today will be the best day of your life.
Life gives us many test. We must graciously take each test!
From time to time I try to imagine this world of which he spoke--a culture in whose mythology words might be that precious, in which words were conceived as vessels for communications from the heart; a society in which words are holy, and the challenge of life is based upon the quest for gentle words, holy words, gentle truths, holy truths.I try to imagine for myself a world in which the words one gives one's children are the shell into which they shall grow, so one chooses one's children are the shell into which they shall grow, so one chooses one's words carefully, like precious gifts, like magnificent gifts, like magnificent inheritances, for they convey an excess of what we have imagined, they bear gifts beyond imagination, they reveal and revisit the wealth of history.How carefully, how slowly, and how lovingly we might step into our expectations of each other in such a world.
Instead of hating someone, pray for that person. Don't forget to pray for yourself as well, that you may learn how to let go and forgive.
Seeing Oneam undone!Enemy norlo! friend-sans One-is none.That! is "am"One-o-One!
I feel the reason we are all here, our purpose of being, is to help others find their little piece of happiness and heaven right here on earth...
The Time (T) and Energy (E) we invest in others, people will take it and carry it with them.
We can't change yesterday, but we can change tomorrow...
Live your life without ever having to ask, 'What if?
Often in life the pleasure of the journey is only eclipsed by the ecstasy of the destination.
The way you perceive your Self is what enables, or disables, you.
Some journeys in life can only be traveled alone.
Sometimes I return back to the state of mind I had as a child when I believed nothing was impossible.
The circumstances surrounding your birth are not as important as the opportunity to live life.
Amazing life, a joyful journey.
Think you can and you can do it.Your thoughts are your life.
Appreciate the daily miracles of life.
I can see clearly my visions.
I dwell on positive and beauty of life.
There is nothing better in life than commitment to personal development and lifelong learning.
You can actually accomplish all that you desire in life.
All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits - practical, emotional, and intellectual - systematically organized for our weal or woe, and bearing us irresistibly toward our destiny, whatever the latter may be." - William James
I honestly wish I could believe that things will end perfectly with one big bright happy ending. But these last few days have taught me that life isn't made up of shiny moments. Life is hard; it's gritty. One day you are filled with joy and the next, you are crawling through the muddy trenches with no inkling of when you might be able to climb your way back up again. ~Willow Mosby (Exposing ELE)
It is easy, when you are young, to believe that what you desire is no less than what you deserve, to assume that if you want something badly enough, it is your God-given right to have it. When I decided to go to Alaska that April, like Chris McCandless, I was a raw youth who mistook passion for insight and acted according to an obscure, gap-ridden logic. I thought climbing the Devils Thumb would fix all that was wrong with my life. In the end, of course, it changed almost nothing. But I came to appreciate that mountains make poor receptacles for dreams. And I lived to tell my tale.
Life is a journey with almost limitless possibilities.
The journey of life is filled with unlimited opportunities and possibilities.
That night in bed I was thinking about the way creeks and streams operate. They start off little, gurgling and bubbling and jumping over rocks and stuff, full of energy, going all over the place. Then they get older and bigger, become rivers, take a more definite course, stick to their path, know where they're going, get slower and wider. And eventually they reach the ocean and become part of this vast mysterious world of water that stretches away forever.Yep, just like people.
History is rich knowledge. In your travel, learn brief history of the place visited.
If you do what everyone else does, you will get what everyone else gets.
Stop harboring grudges against those who have wronged you, it just holds you back when you really want to be in the NOW.
If you are going to be a doubter, I don't need your negative energy.
Many surround themselves with luminaries, but in so doing they dull their own sparkle. If you want to shine bright, look to the heavens and see how the brightest star always stands apart from those lesser shining stars.
Those who speak most of health, have it. Those who speak most of wealth, have it. Those who speak most of joy, have it. The opposite also holds true. So which would you rather have?
By fully experiencing and going beyond an emotional block - through the layers of doubt and fear - you experience the emotion of who you truly are.
You have two voices, one that only you hear, and another that you speak out loud with, so others hear you. Regardless of what you actually say with your mouth, what matters is what your inner voice says, for this is the one you listen to the most.
To control your life, control your mind. To control your mind, control your breath.
No matter what your wishes, they are not crazy so long as they are not crazy to you!
Make the goal huge and you cannot miss!
Often success goes hand-in-hand with the sum total of sexual activity in your life.
You have a right to feel the universe is willing to provide you with blessings, but not to the point that it cannot do without you.
You put yourself where you are, and if you find yourself unsatisfied with how you are, then get yourself out of it.
Your life is in your hands. Only YOU have the capacity to turn it into a rosy path or a thorn filled one. Increase your vibrational output with Cosmic Ordering and your future will be rosy.
Do not avoid doing what you love because you fear that it will only result in poverty or lack. If you fear this, then this is exactly what will happen.
The universe is infinite, and the experiences and opportunities available to us are likewise.
Armed with positive thoughts, it becomes easier to focus on your goals, while the opposite also holds true.
Do not constantly question why your desires have not manifested, although you should keep a vibrational connection to them.
Harnessing the unique sex energy that can only arise through sexual expression can awaken multidimensional awareness and provide you with your desired goal.
Tell me your story and I will get back your life.
Willful blindness sees no end of damage done.
With sticky thinking you can become unstuck!
If you want to make dough, do a bun dance.
When we work creatively and productively with others, our experience of meaning can be profound. When we work directly for the good of others, meaning deepens in ways that reward us beyond measure. Whenever we go beyond satisfying our own personal needs, we enter the realm of what Frankl called "ultimate meaning." some call it connection to a higher self, to God, to our own spirit, to universal consciousness, to love, to the collective good. No matter what it's called, it is deep meaning and it transforms our lives.
Given the ease with which health infuses life with meaning and purpose, it is shocking how swiftly illness steals away those certainties…Time unused and only endured still vanishes, as if time itself is starving, and each day is swallowed whole, leaving no crumbs, no memory, no trace at all.
Thank you. That was the most fun I've had in a very long time." The horse felt the same way. His life thus far had been such a rocky journey, short on joy and long on sorrow. But as Darling led him toward the shiny Ever After High stables, he knew in his heart that his story had changed."I hope you don't mind if, on occasion, I ask you to use your camouflage skills." She giggled. "Just so we can have a fun adventure now and then." He nodded. She stopped walking and looked into his eyes. "And, because you're the horse of a princess, I think you should have the perfect knightly name. I shall hereby call you Sir Gallopad." She kissed both his cheeks, then bowed.He smiled and bowed in return.And his story began.
It has taken me a lot of years, but I find silence is sometimes the best answer.
Face it and it will be less …
Stop acting so small, you are as big as the universe!!!!!!!!
Never be paralyzed by fear, just by falling off a cliff
There’s nothing mysterious about Cosmic Ordering, it’s simply a method used to transmute thought into reality.
If you want a new life, first give praise for having the old one!
Run and hide or rise and shine ...
Become your own success story, not someone else's.
If you are in a prison of fear ... break out!
Positive thinking without any thought is wasted ...
Some people pray for miracles ... with Cosmic Ordering YOU manifest them!
When life is tough, use Cosmic Ordering. When life is great, use Cosmic Ordering.
When you unfold your spirit, you unfold your dream.
To take control of your life ... just let go!
When you use your mind to grow yourself, education doesn't come into it.
You think the thing, draw the picture and then it happens.
If you like who you are then losing yourself isn’t a choice! But if you don’t like yourself, get lost.
Let go of all expectations, and you shall never be disappointed. I find that rather disappointing to never be disappointed is very expected. Therefore let's only let go of those expectations we know will disappoint us and let's expect to be disappointed sometimes. Life is beautiful that way.
The Gospel writers are not really interested primarily in the facts of the birth but in the significance, the meaning for them of that birth just as the people who love us are not really interested primarily in the facts of our births but in what it meant to them when we were born and how for them the world was never the same again, how their whole lives were changed with new significance.
Take one Naive Girl. Bring to room temperature in the Big City. Add three cups Academia. If in one cup Encouragement. Fold in two drop Love. Sprinkle with one teaspoon Adoration. Mix thoroughly. Spoon carefully into greased Pan of Matrimony. Bake in Desert Heat for 25. Test doneness with Careless Toothpick. Let cool on Wire Rack of Inertia. Serve with generous dollops of Benign Neglect.
As she rounded a corner one of her favourite songs came on the radio, and sunlight filtered through the trees the way it does with lace curtains, reminding her of her grandmother, and tears began to slide down her cheeks. Not for her grandmother, who was then still very much among the living, but because she felt an enveloping happiness to be alive, a joy made stronger by the certainty that someday it would all come to an end. It overwhelmed her, made her pull the car to the side of the road. Afterwards she felt a little foolish, and never spoke to anyone about it. Now, however, she knows she wasn’t being foolish. She realizes that for no particular reason she stumbled into the core of what it is to be human. It’s a rare gift to understand that your life is wondrous, and that it won’t last forever.
Why don’t we just say it already?” He smirked. “I mean come on now.”I eyed him carefully not knowing where to step. “What is it you think we want to say?”“That we love each other. I kick myself every time I stopped myself from saying it. And I know you love me and that’s all that matters,” he said, pulling me close instead of away this time. We stared at the water in a shared silence.My mind wished I could say the same thing, but knowing if I wanted to was the problem. Did I even know how?
Don’t worry. You’re lost. The best of us are, but you will find your way. The universe is everything, all that is tangible and all that is not. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the scheme of things. The world is wondrous and mysterious, but he will reveal himself to you when he is ready.” He paused. “We are all connected, but we don’t realize how. You, me… We’re all connected… somehow. Sooner or later it will all be revealed to us.
As plain Jane, she had far more to risk than Lady Mystère did. Behind her mask she could be the mistress of his darkest desires, but without it there were consequences to her deception. It was the outcome of her deceit that frightened her. Tobias might despise her for having lied to him.
A woman in her thirties came to see me. As she greeted me, I could sense the pain behind her polite and superficial smile. She started telling me her story, and within one second her smile changed into a grimace of pain. Then, she began to sob uncontrollably. She said she felt lonely and unfulfilled. There was much anger and sadness. As a child she had been abused by a physically violent father. I saw quickly that her pain was not caused by her present life circumstances but by an extraordinarily heavy pain-body. Her pain-body had become the filter through which she viewed her life situation. She was not yet able to see the link between the emotional pain and her thoughts, being completely identified with both. She could not yet see that she was feeding the pain-body with her thoughts. In other words, she lived with the burden of a deeply unhappy self. At some level, however, she must have realized that her pain originated within herself, that she was a burden to herself. She was ready to awaken, and this is why she had come. I directed the focus of her attention to what she was feeling inside her body and asked her to sense the emotion directly, instead of through the filter of her unhappy thoughts, her unhappy story. She said she had come expecting me to show her the way out of her unhappiness, not into it. Reluctantly, however, she did what I asked her to do. Tears were rolling down her face, her whole body was shaking. “At this moment, this is what you feel.” I said. “There is nothing you can do about the fact that at this moment this is what you feel. Now, instead of wanting this moment to be different from the way it is, which adds more pain to the pain that is already there, is it possible for you to completely accept that this is what you feel right now?” She was quiet for a moment. Suddenly she looked impatient, as if she was about to get up, and said angrily, “No, I don't want to accept this.” “Who is speaking?” I asked her. “You or the unhappiness in you? Can you see that your unhappiness about being unhappy is just another layer of unhappiness?” She became quiet again. “I am not asking you to do anything. All I'm asking is that you find out whether it is possible for you to allow those feelings to be there. In other words, and this may sound strange, if you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness? Don't you want to find out?” She looked puzzled briefly, and after a minute or so of sitting silently, I suddenly noticed a significant shift in her energy field. She said, “This is weird. I 'm still unhappy, but now there is space around it. It seems to matter less.”This was the first time I heard somebody put it like that: There is space around my unhappiness. That space, of course, comes when there is inner acceptance of whatever you are experiencing in the present moment.I didn't say much else, allowing her to be with the experience. Later she came to understand that the moment she stopped identifying with the feeling, the old painful emotion that lived in her, the moment she put her attention on it directly without trying to resist it, it could no longer control her thinking and so become mixed up with a mentally constructed story called “The Unhappy Me.” Another dimension had come into her life that transcended her personal past – the dimension of Presence. Since you cannot be unhappy without an unhappy story, this was the end of her unhappiness. It was also the beginning of the end of her pain-body. Emotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness. When our session came to an end, it was fulfilling to know that I had just witnessed the arising of Presence in another human being. The very reason for our existence in human form is to bring that dimension of consciousness into this world. I had also witnessed a diminishment of the pain-body, not through fighting it but through bringing the light of consciousness to it.
It was obvious that the woman was trying to turn over a new leaf, so we bought all her bowls. I got a gigantic stoneware one with a flat bottom, like you’d use if you were making bread for the whole army, and I knew I would have to change my whole life to have a use for this bowl.
It seems that life is all about timing. Sometimes the timing is perfect for something you want, and the events come together perfectly. It’s at those times when you think life couldn’t get any better. Opportunities are presented to you, and you make the right decisions at the right times. You feel as if your life is gaining speed.Then suddenly, it seems that the universe changes. You’ve stepped out of the flow, or time has sped up or slowed down. You try to make things happen even though the timing is wrong, and it’s like you’re swimming upstream.
So don't be worried if you have the sub-standard version barking out the orders. It will continue to do so, just be aware of it. Than call it for what it is, gremlin for the best you. Then grab that vision of the best you and get up and give it everything you have got.
He thought back to everything that happened the night before: the hooded men, the chase, his tired heart and weak legs. The very moment in which Mathias realized it was over, when he'd decided to sacrifice his own life in order to save the young man by his side, the monk had found something fundamental inside himself. Deep in his soul, in that hidden place that can only be discovered when a person finds himself poised on the edge of the abyss, gasping what he thought was his last breath, he'd suddenly seen it. Only then did he realize what he held dearest in his heart. Because the last thing to cross his mind, what he'd thought about the moment he'd spun around, prepared to impale himself on the blade, had been a face. No thoughts of God or faith or any other saint. A face. That's when everything became clear.
I found myself back in the sepulchral city resenting the sight of people hurrying through the streets to filch a little money from each other, to devour their infamous cookery, to gulp their unwholesome beer, to dream their insignificant and silly dreams. They trespassed upon my thoughts. They were intruders whose knowledge of life was to me an irritating pretence, because I felt so sure they could not possibly know the things I knew. Their bearing, which was simply the bearing of commonplace individuals going about their business in the assurance of perfect safety, was offensive to me like the outrageous flauntings of folly in the faces of a danger it is unable to comprehend.
Everyone thought they would be friends for decades, forever. But for most people, of course, that hadn't happened. As you got older, you realized that the qualities you valued in the people you slept with or dated weren't necessarily the ones you wanted to live with, or be with, or plod through your days with. If you were smart, and if you were lucky, you learned this and accepted this. You figured out what was most important to you and you looked for it, and you learned to be realistic.
The greatest problem of human life is fear. It is fear that robs us ofhappiness. It is fear that causes us to settle for far less than we arecapable of. It is fear that is the root cause of negative emotions,unhappiness and problems in human relationships.
You perform as well as you believe yourself capable of performing. You are as effective as you believe yourself to be in whatever you do. You can never be better or different on the outside than you believe yourself to be on the inside.
The power of the unknown fact hit me like a bolt of lightning, that maybe, my father did care about me after all, and I realized another true thing that day: the love of a father is invaluable; regardless of how old you become, or how many bridges you cross in life
I was tired of fighting the windstorm I was tossed into, and instead I would let go and ride with the winds of change. How bad could it be, compared to the life I knew? I was living life as if it were a rehearsal for the real thing. Another beginning might be rough at first, but any place worth getting to is going to have some problems. I wanted the good life, the life well lived, and you can’t buy that or marry into it. It’s there to be found, and it can be taken by those who want it and have the resolve to make it happen for themselves.
As long as you're around, your life is too. So just as you shower love and affection and attention on the husbands, wives, parents, children and forever friends who surround you, you have to do so equally with your life, because it's yours, it's you, and it's always there rooting for you, cheering you on, even when you feel like you can't do it. I gave up on my life for a while, but what I've learned is that even when that happens and especially when that happens, life never gives up on you. Mine didn't. And we'll be there for each other until those final moments when we will look at each other and say, 'Thanks for staying until the end.'And that's the truth.
I thought the world had actually ended. I thought nothing good could ever happen again. I thought anything might happen if I wasn't vigilant. I didn't eat. I didn't go out. I didn't want to see anyone. But I survived, Paul. Much to my own surprise, I got through it. And life...well, gradually became livable again.
But this you must know: the violent murder of a mother- when a boy is at the tender age, when he is just discovering girls- it is a terrible thing. confusingly mixed up with all the things feminine, it leaves a charred residue on the soul, like the black marks found at the bottom of a burned pot. no matter how much you scrub and scrub the pot bottom with steel wool and cleansers, the scars, they are permanent
You are all seen by a God who is proud of those day to day things you do. Ministry doesn't always mean speaking at a pulpit often it comes dressed as everyday work. Don't ever doubt that what you do matters, don't believe that a inspirational speaker or pastor is more worthy then you, for ministry is a state of mind not a career path. God can and will use you in mighty ways through your day to day normal routine.
He spent two years in the extermination camp at Auschwitz. According to his own reluctant account, he came this close to going up a smokestack of a crematorium there: "I had just been assigned to the Sonderkommando," he said to me, "when the order came from Himmler to close the ovens down." Sonderkommando means special detail. At Auschwitz it meant a very special detail indeed--one composed of prisoners whose duties were to shepherd condemned persons into gas chambers, and then to lug their bodies out. When the job was done, the members of the Sonderkommando were themselves killed. The first duty of their successors was to dispose of their remains. Gutman told me that many men actually volunteered for the Sonderkommando. "Why?" I asked him. "If you would write a book about that," he said, "and give the answer to that question, that 'Why?'--you would have a very great book." "Do you know the answer?" I said. "No," he said, "That is why I would pay a great deal of money for a book with the answer in it." "Any guesses?" I said. "No," he said, looking me straight in the eye, "even though I was one of the ones who volunteered."He went away for a little while, after having confessed that. And he thought about Auschwitz, the thing he liked least to think about. And he came back, and he said to me: "There were loudspeakers all over the camp," he said, "and they were never silent for long. There was much music played through them. Those who were musical told me it was often good music--sometimes the best." "That's interesting," I said. "There was no music by Jews," he said. "That was forbidden." "Naturally," I said. "And the music was always stopping in the middle," he said, "and then there was an announcement. All day long, music and announcements." "Very modern," I said. He closed his eyes, remembered gropingly. "There was one announcement that was always crooned, like a nursery rhyme. Many times a day it came. It was the call for the Sonderkommando." "Oh?" I said. "Leichentärger zu Wache," he crooned, his eyes still closed. Translation: "Corpse-carriers to the guardhouse."In an institution in which the purpose was to kill human beings by the millions, it was an understandably common cry. "After two years of hearing that call over the loudspeakers, between the music," Gutman said to me, "the position of corpse-carrier suddenly sounded like a very good job.
REBELby Tatyana DiasI have the might of separating the fight between darkness and light.With ashes that surpasses my sight, crime in time slashes, isolating my rights.I speak with my eyes, and visualize with my mind.I'm on a quest that has left me possessed and stressed 'cause I envy the blessed and pity the depressed.You can whip me, strip me, crucify me to a cross; my imagination within my deepest destination will not fall!
That was the splendid thing about life: Though it was cruel, it was also mysterious, filled with wonder and surprise; sometimes the surprises were so amazing that they qualified as miraculous, and by witnessing those miracles, a despondent person could discover a reason to live, a cynic could obtain unexpected relief from ennui, and a profoundly wounded boy could find the will to heal himself and medicine for melancholy.
The ocean was one of the greatest things he had ever seen in his life—bigger and deeper than anything he had imagined. It changed its color and shape and expression according to time and place and weather. It aroused a deep sadness in his heart, and at the same time it brought his heart peace and comfort.
Somewhere, on the long road that wound through those four years, the girl with her sachet & dancing slippers had slipped away & there was left a woman with sharp green eyes, who counted pennies & turned her hands to many menial tasks, a woman to whom nothing was left from the wreckage except the indestructible red earth on which she stood.
I stared out of the window at the bright-blue Swiss sky and I told him a story of two people. Two people who shouldn’t have met, and who didn’t like each other much when they did, but who found they were the only two people in the world who could possibly have understood each other. And I told him of the adventures they had, the places they had gone, and the things I had seen that I had never expected to. I conjured for him electric skies and iridescent seas and evenings full of laughter and silly jokes. I drew a world for him, a world far from a Swiss industrial estate, a world in which he was still somehow the person he had wanted to be. I drew the world he had created for me, full of wonder and possibility. I let him know a hurt had been mended in a way that he couldn’t have known, and for that alone there would always be a piece of me indebted to him. And as I spoke I knew these would be the most important words I would ever say and that it was important that they were the right words, that they were not propaganda, an attempt to change his mind, but respectful of what Will had said. I told him something good...
We are images of Adonai, and are responsible for one another, and for taking care of all on earth created by Adonai: just as Adonai is responsible for everything created. We learned to differentiate between good and evil. We can even create order out of chaos, as Adonai did on day one. We not only procreate, but also teach the next generations. (Deuteronomy 6:7). All of these abilities and responsibilities, we inherited when created in the image of Adonai. Every person also has a spark of Adonai within. We can choose to ignore this, or to embrace this. We have the power of choice. With this great power, comes great responsibility. You see, not only were we given the ability to reason, but also, we have the ability to create a new and different future, because we have the ability to change, both ourselves, and the world.
when you're feeling emotional, remember:there is no sad, sad comes from feeling too happy. there is no happy, happiness comes from feeling extreme sadness. when they say that you have an equal amount of suffering and joy in the world, that is a lie. your extreme suffering makes any slight thing seem amazing, and your happiness makes you suffer at any slightly worse thing.
Every time i see a butterfly, it reminds me of how precious life can truly be. To be able to turn from a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly and fly away so freely and gracefully wherever she may please, without no one in the world to tell her what to do. I wait for that special moment in time when I get to live freely, without no worries, pain or tears. I just want to be happy. I want the laughter in the air without all of the pain. One special day I’ll get to live my life just like that beautiful butterfly. I will no longer feel blue inside.
When I first accepted my own death, the world was intantly changed. It was a completely new sensation. It took something like this to finally open my eyes. Before, I had simply shut myself off so that I could not see, could not hear. What had I been doing all this time?
...a novel, like a myth or any great work of art, can become an initiation that helps us to make a painful rite of passage from one phase of life, one state of mind, to another. A novel, like a myth, teaches us to see the world differently; it shows us how to look into our own hearts and to see our world from a perspective that goes beyond our own self-interest.
