"How can a man's life keep its course 
If he will not let it flow?
Those who flow as life flows know
They need no other force;
They feel no wear, they feel no tear,
They need no mending, no repair."

~Lao Tzu

“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.”

~Osho

Ageless and Timeless

As spiritual energetic beings wearing human clothing, we are ageless and timeless. From now on, when people ask 'how old you are', or try and convince you of their thoughts, limiting beliefs, or whatever they may have heard around 'age,'  simply smile and say 'it's irrelevant;' otherwise they will compare you with everyone in their 'filing cabinet'.  

What's important is how we feel in this moment.

Robert Holden said: “You will never become happy.  You can only be happy.” Stop striving for happiness.  Be it.  Don’t wait until you’re on holiday or in a relationship or earning enough money before you’ll allow yourself to feel happy. As the old adage goes, “There’s no time like the present.”  I say, There’s no time but the present.  So give yourself the gift of happiness right now.

F.L.Y ~First Love Yourself

As I Began to Love Myself
~Written by Charlie Chaplin on his 70th Birthday

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering
are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody
As I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time
was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this
person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life,
and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.
Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance,
I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens
at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm.
Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do
and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in
my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for
my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew
me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude
a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since
I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry
about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING
is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me
and it can make me sick. But As I connected it to my heart, my
mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this
connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems
with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing
new worlds are born.Today I know THAT IS “LIFE”!

You were born with potential
You were born with goodness and trust
You were born with ideals and dreams
You were born with greatness
You were born with wings
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings
Learn to use them, and fly.

Rumi

"People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences will have resonances with our own innermost being, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive."~Joseph Campbell

The Difference Between 'Want' and 'Need'

 I've noticed that when I 'want' to do something, I feel 'light' and 'excited' in anticipation, and when I feel I 'need' to do it, it feels 'heavy,' like an obligation. How we feel is the   Soul's subtle way of showing us whether we are in vibrational alignment with whatever it is we are thinking or doing.

Abraham says to: "Always do what you want to do and not what you 'need' to do. You came into this world not because you 'needed to', but because you 'wanted to.' You came here not even because you 'needed to' achieve anything, you came here to experience contrast, have fun, love and for your own expansion.  Do only what you want and you will attract those people that want to be with you, rather than feel they need to be." 

I would also add and listen to your Heart.

“To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.” ~Eckhart Tolle

A Teacher

From your fears, I'm learning to Trust in the Process of Life,
From your limitations, I'm learning that when you truly Desire Something with all your Heart and Believe you will get it ~ the Universe will take care of the specifics,
From your indiscretion, I'm learning to go Inside and follow my Intuition, rather than looking Outside which only Reflects Back any false truths I may have,
From your comparisons, I'm learning to Value My Uniqueness and that Everyone is On Their Own Individual Sacred Journey,
From your judgements, I'm learning to Express the Truth of Who I Really Am and Focus on the Divine Perfection and Wholeness of My Self and Others,
From your control, I'm learning to Surrender, knowing that when we Let Go(d), our Dreams are Free to Blossom,
From your despondency, I'm learning that Darkness comes from either Thinking About the Past which has already Happened, or the Future which is a Mystery and appreciating the Joy that comes from Living in the Present which is all that truly ever exists,
From your impatience, I'm learning that Everything is always Unfolding at the Perfect Time and in the Perfect Way,
And, above all, I'm learning to be Grateful that God only ever Sends us Angels and Feel Blessed.♥

“We all have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go, “That’s baaaaad.” Robert Frost said, “Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference.” ~Mr Keating, from the scene in the quad; Dead Poets Society

"Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused."

Obsession arrives and says:

by PAULO COELHO on JANUARY 17, 2013

Obsession arrives and says:

‘Your fate now belongs to me. I will make you look for things that do not exist.
‘From now on, your heart will know no peace, because I will drive out enthusiasm and take its place.

‘I will allow fear to spread throughout the world, and you will always feel afraid, but without knowing why.
‘You don’t need to know, you just need to stay afraid.

‘Work harder, then you won’t have to think. Work harder than you need to, so that you can stop living altogether.

‘Your Love, which was once a manifestation of the Divine Energy, belongs to me too.
‘And the person you love will be unable to leave your side for a moment, because I am there in your heart saying:
“Careful, she might go away and never come back.”

‘Your son, who once would have followed his own path in the world, will now be mine as well.
‘I will have you surround him with unnecessary worries that destroy his taste for adventure and risk,
‘that make him suffer whenever he displeases you and leave him feeling guilty because he has failed to live up to your expectations.’

Never let Obsession control you.

If it comes too close, say: ‘I’m not worried about tomorrow, because God is there already, waiting for me.’

If it tries to persuade you that taking on lots of jobs means having a productive life, say:
‘I need to look at the stars in order to feel inspired and to be able to do my job well.’

If it threatens you with the ghost of hunger, say:
‘I do not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’

You can only succeed, you cannot fail.

Failure is impossible; it is an illusion. Nothing is a
failure. Nothing. Everything moves the human story,
and hence the process of evolution, forward.
Everything advances you on your journey.

You will not have to think but a second to know
exactly why you received this message today.

Love, Your Friend....
~Neale Donald Walsch

"All those perfect and not so perfect thoughts create the rich tapestry of your reality, called Life."

"You are a unique expression of the Divine. A facet, if you will, of the Diamond of Divinity's love for the world.  You were born as a gift to the planet and the human race and it is your responsibility to express that gift.  By being you, a free and wild human being, you gift the world with that Love. Your work is not to figure it out, or to encumber yourself with a label or persona, your work is simply to be you. You in all your imperfect and wild beauty! The wildness of your self shines a light that is yours and yours alone. Consider the wild flower that insists on pushing herself through the cold suffocating concrete of a city pavement. She lifts her face up valiantly to the sun and allows her beauty to bless all who take the time to notice her. Does that seem too daunting a task, dear one? Do not let fear, an illusion, prevent you. The world is but an illusion because as the wildflower teaches us, even the 'reality' of cement did not stop her from blooming and sharing her light. Your hard work is to be you, to burst through the cracks and be your true and authentic self. Search your heart and begin to see your own beauty. Do not judge yourself , that is not your job. Do not compare yourself, that is not your truth. Find the wildness of your soul and begin to move! Begin to lift your face to sun and dance your life, dance your Divinity and be the gift you were created to be." ~Martha Graham
