YOU ARE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

When you get angry or hurt, when you blow up and lash out your frustration, do you blame others for the way you feel and behave? 

Or ... do you look at it as an opportunity to take command and manage yourself for the better?

Ponder on this thought: 

The difficult situations you are encountered by, and the people who you struggle 

with - the "cause" of your discomfort - are actually messengers.

They have been "assigned" to deliver a message specifically to you, in order to help you change, evolve and become a better person.

This notion may not be easy to accept, and yes, it does take a strong will to change ...

It may cause some hurt and discomfort, but it's well worth the effort. 

Why? Because it will help you understand what triggers you... 

Once you view pain as your teacher, and not as your enemy, you'll be able to transform it into a life lesson. 

You'll be able to see it as a true opportunity for growth and empathy. 

Eventually, you'll become more and more refined and in the end, you'll shine like a sparkling diamond ~

THANK YOU FOR BEING IN MY LIFE

May you reap the seeds that you've planted.

May you be guided to a blessed future.

May your love be rewarded and your life enriched this thanksgiving holiday ❤️

LOVE is not just an electromagnetic, chemical reaction going on in our brain, it is not just a feeling that we can feel or imagine.

Love is a real force that can change reality as we know it.

Love is a force to care for yourself and everyone around you. 

Love is an innate human ability that empowers you to heal yourself and others. 

Love is a choice we make everyday, not based on a particular mood or feeling we're in, but rather because love is the glue that keeps all of our parts working together.

Stay in love with the power of love, no matter what...

ALIGNING WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF

A person needs to become accustomed to listening to himself - to his true desires. 

When a person listens to the other voice - the voice which is not aligned with his interests, he becomes distracted and confused. 

He must learn to resist; know how to tune into the right voice. 

How does one turn on the resistance force?

When the brain projects images of destruction, death, horror, anger, negativity etc, filling up one's consciousness, one must search within, uncover and project a counter image - an image of joy and hope. 

When operating in this manner, at that moment precisely, one brings about "resurrection" - which is, creating light out of darkness, life out of death. 

Resurrection occurs when one exchanges the negative for the positive - replacing the image one focuses on. 

That is the war - you fight the negative force within, through focus, faith and prayer. 

You must train yourself, repeat it regularly while never giving up. 

Eventually you'll learn that if you fall it is not the end. Why? Because we constantly fall, but learn to switch between the images that are being projected in our minds. 

You'll consciously choose to follow the positive voice. 

This practice never ends - because if death did not exist, your life would not be worth living ~

SECRET OF LIFE

What is the SECRET of life?

Is it tranquility and peace we seek most, or excitement and enthusiasm we want more? 

Do we crave peace of mind, or ecstasy, allowing tasty flavors to roam around?

Is there one road traveled by most, or are there unlimited paths to cross?

Do we have a destiny to fulfill, or is it luck that rules fate, no matter how twisted we get?  

Is there a difference between truth and lie, or did we all turn a blinded eye?

Is there a universal truthfulness needed to be learned, or are there varied views and that's why chaos cannot be subduded?

The meaning of life lies deeply within: peeling layer by layer, uncovering the sought after soul, desired by all ~

THE OPPOSITE OF ANGER IS NOT CALMNESS IT'S EMPATHY

Our empathy for the feelings of others is one of our most important social and human qualities.

Empathy allows us to take a "peek" within, to realize we all have our faults, our good days and bad days, our inability to see the "whole picture", our strong need to survive and come out on top. 

It gives us the opportunity to give love, not only to ourselves, but to also provide it whole heartedly to others.

Empathy improves our communication skills, enabling us to experience joyful, loving relationship where sharing and unity are what we value most. 

This is emphasized less and less by the ever-growing individualism in this world.

We can't help but want to want, want to achieve, want to grow, want for ourselves only. 

That's how we were born. The body comes first - with burning needs and desires to satiate oneself only.

It is later on in life, when we finally shed "a few layers" when we arrive at the understanding, that we can only be at peak performance, when we care NOT for ourselves only, but also for the best interest of those around us.

A personal evolution is necessary because we have strayed too far from ourselves, only spiritual wisdom makes us understand.

We must face our own "demons", look at our deepest and most darkest fears, in order to allow personal evolution to take place - it naturally becomes available to us by the challenges and hurdles we experience throughout our lives journey. 

Spiritual wisdom comes with a price - there are no free meals. We must earn our "bread" - according to our own design ✨

PROGRESS IS PROCESS

In order to achieve anything, you must constantly improve and move forward in life. A person can choose to go one of two ways: "Front door" or "back door" ..

Coming through the front door means when a person has a vision, he is centered and determined. 

He is focused on his passion to achieve his vision, not allowing anything to disturb him on the way.

Invariably, such a person, has a good and fulfilling life. 

However, most people's advancement in life, is achieved by use of the back door only.

In order for these people to transition from place to place, they have to have crisis (illness), or trauma happen (job termination), so they can move forward (be enlightened) to the next place.

It is difficult to become spiritually uplifted or enlightened, without ever experiencing some disturbance.

Difficulties are what  invariably shape us - it is going through the challenges that makes us better in every sense of the word.

In order for us to realize our essence and become creators, we must have crises and difficulties in our lives - that's how we create something from nothing.

When all is well and calm, and we sit quietly, lets face it, there's no real creativity involved.

How long can you go on a vacation for? 

You're not here to rest, you are here to keep moving ~
