You'll notice that things often get worse before they get better.

This is because we're being prepared and strengthened for all of the marvelous things that await us. We must first learn to crawl before we can walk. As soon as we learn to walk, we will learn to run. Life doesnt stop at one altitude, it goes as high as your willing to travel. You never know where enlightenment may come from. Be always open, on the look-out and ready for it. Usually it is a click, something which falls into place after a long time of gestation. The most unexpected event or person can trigger it off.

~ Robert Muller ~

Let's be honest, we all have those things hidden away inside of ourselves that haunt us. We have all been hurt at one time or another, our hearts have been broken, trust violated, apologies that were never made. Forgiveness is never easy. We as humans tend to collect hurts, and if we aren't careful we can end up using those hurts as a wall. We convince ourselves that the wall is there to protect us, that it will keep the bad people out. It may, but it also keeps the good people out, and traps us inside of our own sorrows. Humans are... well... human. Everyone will most likely disappoint us at some point or another in our lives, some more than others. When we refuse to forgive them, we often think we are punishing them, but we are really only punishing ourselves. Forgiveness isn't about the other person at all, it isn't letting them of the hook, it isn't allowing them to get away with anything. It is simply setting yourself free. This is where it seems we get hung up the most. We think that forgiving them means they are no longer responsible for their actions. In reality forgiving them just means you are no longer taking responsibility for their actions. You are in effect handing that responsibility back to them and moving on with your life.

Most of us have been through a tough break-up at some point in our lives. The feelings of despair, hopelessness, sadness and loneliness we experience are often overwhelming, and often seem endless. Usually though, with the help of friends, family, and our undeniable human spirit - we eventually get over our heartbreak. We slowly pick up the pieces, put ourselves back together, and move on, hopefully stronger and wiser in the end. Sometimes however, we can't seem to "get over it". We can't seem to understand how the other person could have left us. We had so much invested in them emotionally, that we can't even imagine life without them. People often think closure is something we get from an external source: "If only I could talk to him/her again so I could understand..." Closure however, is about the feelings of peace and completion within ourselves. It's not always possible to get the answers from someone else, at least not the answers that will make us feel better about the situation. Relationship closure is an important part of emotional and mental health. Without it, we are unable to fully move on, commit to, and trust, someone new. Every experience we go through is meant to teach us something, but it's up to us to figure out what that

is. We often create a fantasy world around our relationships, and when the relationship ends, the pain tends to be more about the dissolution of the dream than the actual loss of the person. When things are real, honest, and truthful between two people, there are less surprises involved, and our needs our met. It's extremely important that we learn to clean up our own backyard before venturing into someone else's, and being honest with ourselves first is that all-important first step.

What's done is done... and can't be undone. You can't change the past, lets get that out of the way right now. As much as we would like to, and many of us have tried, we lie to ourselves about it, we deny it ever happened, we focus on oneaspect and ignore the others, but it doesn't really change it. You can spend your whole life wishing you had turned left instead of right, chosen A instead of B, replaying every mistake you have ever made, every wrong that has ever been done, but all you are really doing is storing up hurts. You can't change the facts of what happened. Sometimes we hold on to the past because we truly believe something is going to happen in the future that will change things. Maybe we are waiting for someone who hurt us to apologize, or maybe we are waiting for the day they will be held accountable for what they did to us. We could be waiting for them to forgive us. We can end up waiting a very long time, sometimes forever. All you are really doing is putting off your happiness waiting for something outside of yourself to come along and bring you happiness. What if, god forbid, you found out that you only had a short time to live? Would it still matter? Would you still be willing to spend whatever days you have left holding on to a past you can't change? Chances are you would go out and live the rest of your time to the fullest, so why wait? Give yourself permission to live whatever life you have left in the happiest way possible, let go.

Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to trust life- and accept where you are right now. You have what it takes to handle anything... Anything! Good things come from patience, not pushing. Just relax and let life unfold... "Wisdom simmers and steeps and grows with time"

Whenever somebody discredits you, and tells you that you cant do something, keep in mind that they are speaking from within the boundaries of their own limitations. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least.

If you continually speak of your life as if you never feel good, things never turn out right, or nothing positive comes your way, youll more than likely end up being right. In fact, Id go so far as to say that it takes courage to be happy. You can choose to take all of your experiences and channel them into your own reality show based on fear and anxiety, or you can think of all difficulties as opportunities for creating something new.

Life doesnt always introduce you to the people you WANT to meet. Sometimes life puts you in touch with the people you NEED to meet to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to gradually strengthen you into the person you were meant to become.

Focus less on what you need to do and more on what you need to be. ~ Be Clear ~ Clarity is one of the most important keys to manifesting what you want. If your thoughts arent clear, then the Universe doesnt know how or what to give you.

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.

As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit. ~ Emmanuel Teney ~

Some people will do things, just to get a rise out of you, to trip you up and bring you down - because they are threatened by your power or they want to have power over you. Light often attracts attack - but light also deflects it if one chooses to have a strong boundary. IT is quite selfish to disturb someone elses peace and then blame them for being too sensitive. Some ego's might never grow or align with higher self, but that is their problem. Don't let others get the best of you - let it bounce back onto them by maintaining stability and neutrality, because they desperately need the wake up call. Don't feed them or give them the satisfaction of hurting you. To end its rulership, don't allow it in and don't allow it to make you a victim and don't become it. In the face of it, let it empower your Spirit, because in that moment you are reminded of the goodness you are made of. No need to sink into despair or the pain because you have to deal with those who don't hold Love and Harmony as Sacred...

If you hold it as Sacred, then you will enjoy the benefits and you will assist in reminding others of how beautiful life can be when you have respect for the most important qualities of life.

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. ~ M. Scott Peck ~

Many of us believe that we need to keep a tight lid on our emotions. We fear that if we ever allow these emotions to be expressed, they will do serious damage. The only thing that keeps emotions alive within you over long periods is your unwillingness to acknowledge them.

If you want light to come into your life you need to stand where it is shining. ~ Guy Finley ~

If we wonder deeply enough, we spontaneously start to awaken. If you wake up to wonder, you'll come to life... it's as simple as that. ~ Timothy Freke ~

Think of suffering as being washed. ~ Hafiz ~

Things in this universe do not just happen, they are made to happen; either deliberately or unknowingly by our own actions. And taking this matter to a higher realm we can draw the conclusion that if energies can be put in motion, then they can also be directed.

There are seven days in the week and someday isnt one of them.

Don't stoop to lower levels of behavior if others around you are. The only person you can control is yourself, not others. Choose integrity, love and wisdom and whoever doesn't get it, that is their problem, not yours. Don't give up the best of who you are to battle those who don't care... Don't give it up for anyone. Just stay centered.

Every single difficulty you face today is preparing you for the challenges of tomorrow. There are no mistakes; they are necessary steps in order to learn what you need to know to reach the places you have chosen to go.

Realize that you cant always count on others to respect your feelings, even if you respect theirs. Being a good person doesnt guarantee that others will be good people too. You only have control over yourself over how you choose to be as an individual. And as for others, you can only accept them, or walk away

Lifes biggest causes of unhappiness are the false beliefs you refuse to let go of. You are capa ble of far more than you are presently thinking, imagining, doing or being. But you will ultimately become what you habitually contemplate; so clear your mind and let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.

You must deal with the world the way it is, not the way you wish it was. Think positive. Life is good. Too many people miss the silver lining because theyre expecting pure gold. Positive thinking isnt about expecting the best to always happen, but accepting that whatever happens is the best for the moment. So keep smiling and keep following your heart. Someday, life will get tired of upsetting you.

It's not a big deal to make mistakes, it's only a big deal to not learn from them. If we learn from them, they are no longer mistakes, they are reminders. Ego is often blind to this, but our souls crave the transformation and change. Being a heart based and soul based being allows humility, self - observation, expansion, growth and transcendence of artificial programmings, hidden agendas and distortions that keep us trapped. It allows the guidance of our higher self to be heard. To do this, release yourself of caring about what others think and release yourself from trying to uphold some identity you have projected upon yourself, that makes you rigid and in need of being right or perfect. Be as real with yourself and others and you can possibly be and the old issues, anxieties and past trauma triggers will begin to fall away, making room for bliss, breakthroughs and a deeper sense of security and peace ~ This then allows abundance and magic to flow again, bringing synchronicities and new opportunities that are more in alignment to the true you, rather than the you who lives a facade, runs away from the inner work and where's masks, while hiding pain and a strong need to break free and fully be ones authentic and genuine self... Without diving into the real stuff, how can we expect an honest reflection from life.

What you see depends on what you are looking for

When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step into the darkness of the unknown. Faith is knowing that one of two things will happen. There will be solid ground to stand on or you will be taught to fly.

Every single experience holds an important lesson. Quit going through them and decide to grow through them. Resisting and complaining doesn't change the problem, if you don't get it right the first time the same challenge will again present itself to you. So do not run away from your apparent obstacles, they may be painful for a while but eventually, you will realize - they are blessings in disguise.

It may sound odd, but the fastest way to get to a new-and-improved situation is to make peace with your current situation. By making lists of the most positive aspects you can find about your current situation, you then release your resistance to the improvements that are waiting for you. But if you rail against the injustices of your current situation, you hold yourself in Vibrational alignment with what you do not want, and you cannot then move in the direction of improvement. It defies Law. In every particle of the Universe, there is that which is wanted - and the lack of it. ~ Abraham

When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing, seek nothing, expect nothing, then the supreme state will come to you uninvited and unexpected. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Character and wisdom are sculpted over time. They come with loss, lessons, and triumphs. They come after doubts, second guesses, and unknowns. If there was a definitive path to success, everyone would be on it. The seeds of your success are planted in your past failures. Your best stories will come from overcoming your greatest struggles. Your praises will be birthed from your pains. So keep standing, keep learning, and keep living.

Just be... let your true nature emerge...don't disturb your mind with seeking.

Some think life is not so much a place to seek personal happiness and fulfillment, but rather a place to learn lessons and pay dues. And so it is for them. ~ The Universe

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that that situation is over, you cannot move forward.

Just because the eyes can't see, doesn't mean someone's not there.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

Sometimes, the best relationships are the ones you didn't expect, the ones you didn't wish for, the ones you didn't plan and the ones you never saw coming.

Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. Be gentle and kind and patient with yourself.

Your inner light shines when you are at peace with yourself and the world around you. Let go of the struggle and feel the beauty inside you. Allow all to just be and be you. What good is a gift that never gets used?

Just because fear and doubt come knocking at your door, doesn't mean you have to let them in!

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.

When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you.

Tonight, choose what you dream about. Give your subconscious mind something wonderful to work on...

If it didnt really matter, you wouldnt spend so much time thinking about it.

Those who can see beyond the illusion of life will know that nature is not mute, but IT is man that IS Deaf. Society IS too caught up in the distractions of the busy life to notice the background in Life, yet without the background, nothing would exist... Mankind has also divided itself from nature with its "invention" of words, which separates the observer from the observed and the doer from the doing. In nature there are no separations of nouns and verbs, those are rules of grammar, not rules of nature. Silence the words, and ALL You will SEE is One process at work, which IS not separate from You and I. with Raj Mishra.

I marvel at how even the wrong choices can keep us on the right path. How the worst mistake can wind up being the best thing that ever happened to us.

Grief is like the ocean. Its deep and dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the nightquiet, persistent, unfairdiminished by time and faith and love.

When things fall apart, consider the possibility that life knocked it down on purpose. Not to bully you, or to punish you, but to prompt you to build something that better suits your personality and your purpose.

The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. And the first to forget is the happies

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.

No one can make you feel anything... All anyone can do is help you to feel whatever you have yet to feel about yourself

There are two kinds of secrets. The ones we keep from others and the ones we keep from ourselves.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. I am responsible for what I say. I am not responsible for what you understand. This is your journey, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.

Everything you've gone through in your life has made you the person you are today.. Don't hate on the past or the people that have been left there.. You are stronger because of all the challenges and circumstances that you've endured. Be thankful for everything because as you become stronger... life becomes easier.

Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally... Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves.

The past has no power over us. Even problems have no power over us. Our power lies in the thoughts that we choose to think today. Remember, there are endless opportunities for good before us.

When you're hurt, take all the time you need to heal emotionally. Moving on doesn't take a day, it takes lots of little steps to be able to break free of your broken self.

People will treat you the way you let them treat you. You cant control them, but you can control what you tolerate.

You're only lonely if you're not there for you.

The only way of letting love and abundance flow easily into your life, is to first be aware of all negativity that holds you back. Pay attention to your thoughts because mostly what holds us back is ourselves. We become prisoner of our past by letting regret weigh on our minds instead of being grateful for all we have been through which has made us grow into who are today. The more challenges in life you experience, the wiser and stronger you actually become.

You are receiving thousands of messages from the Universe every single day. Learn to become aware of this communication from the Universe, who is speaking to you and guiding you in every moment. There are no accidents and no coincidences. Every sign you notice, every word you hear spoken, every color, every scent, every sound, every event and situation is the Universe speaking to you, and you are the only one who knows their relevance to you, and what the communication is saying. Use your eyes to see! Use your ears to listen! Use all of your senses, because you are receiving communication through them all!

There is no past or future for the law of attraction, only the present, so stop referring to your life in the past as very difficult, or full of hardship and pain, or in any other negative way. Remember that the law only operates in the present, so when you speak of your past life negatively the law is receiving your words and sending those things back to you NOW!

The more I believed, the more physical evidence I received. The more physical evidence I received, the more confidence I gained in my belief. My belief soon turned to knowing. True, genuine knowing that we can have what we desire when we release resistance. But, for a while there, I had no evidence. I had no physical evidence to support this. For a while, I just had to believe, and trust, that it is so.

We teach people how to treat us. At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you're living your life doesn't matter. What matters is whether you're comfortable with it. If you want more, you have to require more from yourself. The most you get is what you ask for. You're only lonely if you're not there for you.

When things feel like they're not working out. Focus on what's working out!

Every now and than a person come through our lives or crosses our path. Its not by chance. Creator has a reason for each and every person we meet. Take the time to get to know some of these people and you will find a blessing in your life.

Child of mine, I will never do for you that which I know you can do for yourself. I will never rob you of an opportunity to show yourself your ability and talent. I will see you at all times as the capable, effective, powerful creator that you've come forth to be. And I will stand back as your most avid cheerleading section. But I will not do for you that which you have intended to do for yourself. Anything you need from me, ask. I'm always here to compliment or assist. Love, The Universe

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you- not because they are not nice, but because you are.

Stop worrying. Just say enough is enough and turn it over to the universe.

Nothing happens by chance though we may not be given the reason. The universe works beyond our awareness to send us messages that could come as a voice, a feeling, a pressure, a knowing, something someone says, an illness, a symbolic event, a dream, and more... When we follow this inner wisdom, we magically find ourselves in the place we are supposed to be.

The journey we are supposed to be on is not the one we may desire or intellectualize about. It is the journey our inner wisdom guides us to follow. This wisdom is not from your ego, desires or emotions. Your inner wisdom knows things you could not possibly know about the future. It combines wisdom buried in your subconscious with wisdom that comes from beyond you. Your inner wisdom knows your true path in life. Conflict cannot survive without your participation.

Sometimes, saying goodbye is just like saying let's stop hurting each other.

Your not lost... Your just waiting to be found.

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.

You have So Many Dormant Abilities Within You! ...Believe In These POWERS Within You, For One Day It Will Be Made Obvious!

Every time you praise something, every time you appreciate something, every time you feel good about something, you are telling the Universe, "More of this, please. More of this, please." You need never again make another verbal statement of this intent, and if you were allowing your cork to float all good things would flow to you.

The Universe is not punishing you or blessing you. The Universe is responding to the vibrational attitude that you are emitting. The more joyful you are, the more Well-being flows to you and you get to choose the details of how it flows ~~~ Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow.' -Mary Anne Radmacher (MMD)

If you didn't hear it with your own ears or see it with your own eyes, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth.

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.

Ma couleur prfre ? Celle de tes yeux Ma musique prfre ? Le son de ta voix Mon endroit prfr ? Le creux de tes bras La personne que j'aime le plus ? Toi, tout, simplement toi Purity is the alignment of energy. Doesn't matter what anybody else thinks about anything. It only matters what you think about it.
