Forgiveness is something many of us think we practice, only later to discover that we still feel angry, upset or hurt about the situation. We claim that all is forgiven so that we may keep the peace and ease or comfort the other person without really taking the time to heal ourselves. The truth about forgiveness is that it actually has very little to do with anyone but you.
As each goose flaps its wings it creates an “uplift” for the birds that follow. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.
You have read so much. You have heard so much. You have studied. You have sought. You seek still. You know so much, and you know that you are supposed to be happy, and yet happiness eludes you. Rather, happiness weaves in and out of your life.
Feeling undeserving of good things usually stems from a lack of self-esteem which may be traced back to childhood. Dysfunctional families, lack of support from teachers or guardians and lack of acceptance from peers are common culprits of poor self-esteem.
The danger of such negative childhood experiences is that children may carry their trauma thru their adult life. The trauma may have a destructive impact on their thought patterns and relationships, among other things. Because feelings of low self-worth are brought on by trauma, they may consciously or unconsciously believe that they do not deserve the good things that can come to them.
To love is not second nature. It is your true nature. You are nature. You are the nature you see all around you. Beloveds, you are the fruit of the vine you adore. You see a mirror of yourself everywhere. There is nothing you look at that is not yourself.
Your intuition, sometimes referred to as your inner guidance, is a mechanism of inner or instinctive knowing which neither requires, nor employs logical thought processes.
When we wake up each morning, do we give orders for the sun to pass over the sky, for the birds to start singing, for all the creatures to awake and go about their business?
World peace is an idea simple in principle but difficult to achieve in practice because, as individual members of our species, we have not found peace within ourselves. Societies cannot be peaceful societies until the members of the society look peacefully toward each other.
Some days the sun shines brightly, and some days the sky is hazy. Regardless of how the sun appears, the sun is shining all the time, and all the time the sun shines brightly. What the sun filters through makes a difference in how it looks to you. But filters are not the sun. They are filters.
There comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever.
