The great people of the world- that is, those who have "arrived"- are not very different from you, or me, or the rest of us- all of us are about the same at the base. You have only to meet  them to see how very much"ordinary" they are, after all. But, don't forget the fact that they know how to use the material that is in them; while the rest of the crowd does not, and, in fact, even  doubts whether the true stuff is there.

...THE TRUTH WITHIN US...

Image
Most of us have never really taken the time to visit within ourselves long enough to discover our own truths, much less live by them. And if we were to do so, those truths may frighten or worry us, for there is a good chance that the truths we have adopted from our exposure to outward things- the ones most of us have come to depend on for security, assurance, confidence, and comfort- are really not valid at all. We might instead discover that the truths within us are much more compassionate, kind, caring, forgiving, understanding, loving, and purposeful. For instance, many of us who have been hurt by others in the past, have put up walls to prevent others from getting close to us and to keep us safe. And while we may believe we are safe, the truth is quite the opposite: our isolation actually increases our hurt, sadness, loneliness, misery, and suffering.  There is an inmost center in us all. But sadly, it is all too often a forgotten place; a place that many of us simply do n

...A SINGLE CANDLE FLAME....

Image
We all can create positive contributions in the world and make a difference in the lives of those around us, even if we do not always receive recognition or positive responses. As long as we shine forth the healing and wholesome light from within--compassion, love, kindness, mercy, empathy, forgiveness, gratitude, joy--and allow that light to rest upon ourselves as well, we will find that our days are much brighter and more fulfilling.  Even if our contribution is but a single candle flame, the light of the world relies upon each and every single candle, and no candle is worth less than any other is.  When we seek only to bring happiness to ourselves, we often find that it is fleeting and eludes our grasp; yet when we seek to bring it to others, it finds us and becomes a permanent residence in our lives.

NOTHING IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU!

Image
Why should anything be too good for you? Did you ever stop to think just what you are? You are a manifestation of the Whole Thing, and have a perfect right to all there is. Or, if you prefer it this way, you are a child of the Infinite, and are heir to it all. You are telling the truth in either statement, or both. At any rate, no matter what you ask, you are merely demanding your  own. And the more in earnest you are about demanding it - the more confident you are of receiving it! Think about this truth! Nothing is too good for you! 

WHY SOME "FRIENDS" BACK DOWN

Image
I am a firm believer of true friendship; and there are still friends that stick closer than brothers. Still, some friends back down because of so many reasons. I found out that there are so many factors that contribute to their uncertain behaviours; and here are some: Because you have a great personality and as such they cannot meet up with your standard. You play by a different set of rules and as such they cannot and will never understand you.  The person you are trying to let in to your life does not deserve to be your friend. You have better friendship with someone other than them. Such friend(s) always claim to be right and always force their opinions on you. Their pasts have a strong hold on them. You have a stronger family background than they. You took them as friends more than they took you. You deserve better friends of like minds. Listen friend, you must love yourself and appreciate yourself; this is the only way remain a winne

Whatever your task, whatever your obstacles, you can be as successful as anyone else. Study the people who accomplished recognition in the areas of your pursuit. How did they achieve their goals?

IT CAN BE YOURS; BUT CAN YOU ACTUALLY SEE IT?

Image
Whether you want millions of dollars, recognition as an artist, or personal freedom, you have the ability to make your life as rich as you want. Think about what you most desire. It may not be hard cash, but what it can buy. Or, it may be those feelings of inner satisfaction, from creating something beautiful or strong... Maybe personal independence from the work week, or freedom to live anywhere you want...even something meaningful and significant in life- something other than things money can buy. Whatever your goals, and however difficult they seem to be to accomplish, you have the inherent ability to become who you want. Take a look-  can you actually lucidly see yourself surrounded by riches? Picture the world open and in front of you, ready to become the form of your dreams, ready to stage your desires.

WHAT NEW THING HAVE YOU LEARNT TODAY?

Image
Learning is one attribute of great achievers. Due to the constant change of the human body and the environment, it is very necessary to constantly renew yourself by learning new ways of doing things which I call 'survival skill'.  Remember that perceptions are formed as well as changed when you expose your mind to relevant information through learning and reading. The wider access to information you have, the more fine-tuned your perception will become. The life of continuous learning is one of the attributes and character of people who lead in different capacities because they understand that the moment they stop exposing their minds to updated information as the society and industry evolve, they will become obsolete.  It then means that, if we are not constantly learning as we go about our day-to-day business, then each day we are getting further and further out of touch with the demands of the modern working world. Therefore as you experience your environment a

IS YOUR INTIMACY WITH YOUR SPOUSE STILL INTACT?

Image
Sex is good. Pillow talk is better. Sex is easy, intimacy is difficult. It requires honesty, openness, self-disclosure, confiding concerns, fears, sadness as well as hopes and dreams! How many couples can genuinely boast of having their intimacies intact? Couples hide things from each other, especially money. What's love got to do with it anyways? You could lose the very "essence" if you do not go back to your true love- how it all began. Couples forget that the genuine ones (wives and husbands) will always want the best for their spouses.

There are things that lift our hearts and spirits such as music and song, and acts of kindness and compassion. There simply are so many things that can remind us that looking at the life all around can be one of the greatest joys of all, and it is effortless and free.  Allow yourself the gift of experiencing the abundant life that surrounds you. See. Feel. Hear. Taste. Laugh. Love. Sigh. Cry. Appreciate. Say thank you. Focus on those things that we often miss when our thoughts only revolve around us or on our own little worlds.

LEARN TO 'REST' YOUR MIND

Image
We all spend a lot of time wearing down our psyches- our logical and intellectual minds, and our emotional souls- sometimes even to their breaking points. We let our bodies unwind after are a long day of work, or sleep when they are drowsy and tired, but we seldom consider rest for our minds and spirits. But our psyches also need to be strengthened, nourished, and renewed to their full potential.  Take a break now and then. It may not seem like a lot can come from a day in which we seek nothing, do nothing, want nothing, and produce nothing, but such days recharge us, fulfill us, and strengthen our sinews so that we can be at our best--so we can be whole. Suffice it to say, that sometimes nothing is exactly the something that we need to keep us going. 

CULTIVATING THE RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE

Image
You do not need fight Worry - that is not the way to overcome the habit. Just practice concentration, and then learn to concentrate upon something right before you, and you will find that the worry thought has vanished.  The mind can think of but one thing at a time, and if you concentrate upon a bright thing, the other thing will fade away. There are better ways of overcoming objectionable thoughts than by fighting them. Learn to concentrate upon thoughts of an opposite character, and the problem is solved. When the mind is full of worry thoughts, it cannot find time to work out plans to benefit you. But when you have concentrated on bright, helpful thoughts, you will discover that it will start to work subconsciously; and when the time comes you will find all sorts of plans and methods by which you will be able to meet the demands on you.  Keep your mental attitude right, and all things will be added unto you. There is no sense in worrying; nothing has ever been gai

UNDERSTAND WHO BRINGS YOU DOWN"

The things around you are not just the ones that can bring you down. Sometimes, there are certain types of people who will discourage you and make you think and see life in a negative Sadly, seeing things negatively leaves no room for your positive sides to grow.  People Who Insist That You Should Be Someone Else Be proud of who you are! You have to create your own identity and not the one that is copied from others. There is no better feelings than to know that the people around you accept you for who you are and not the one they want you to become. Unfortunately, there are people who do not see and appreciate the developments that you made for yourself that speak of who you really are. They keep on insisting that you will become a better person if you become someone else. Of all people, it is you who knows what is best for you. You can experience real success, love, and happiness if you chose to be who you are and not a second version of someone else. Let the peo

YOUR SOUL ALSO NEEDS FOOD. DO NOT NEGLECT IT.

Image
What does my spiritual garden look like? Have I planted the right seeds? Have I tended to it lately- watering and nourishing the season's growth and removing any weeds? The time and effort I pour forth into my spiritual life provides sustenance for my soul and spills over into all the other aspects of my life- physical, emotional, and intellectual. We eat when we are hungry and drink when we are thirsty; yet when our souls hunger for joy and happiness, for purpose and meaning, for wonder and beauty, for kindness and compassion, for positive and uplifting experiences, we often neglect that core of who we are. And at what cost? What kind of long-term effect does such neglect have upon us, and what impact does such malnutrition of the soul have on those we love? Add beauty to your life by feeding your soul. If you know what I am talking about, can you share with us how you feed your soul? We'd love to hear it. 

CHERISH YOUR VISIONS

Cherish your visions, your ideals, the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes from the purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, everything you have ever thought of from the purest of heart, if you but remain true to them.  Remember that to desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve. Ask and receive!
