Don't look at the past with anger, nor the future with fear, only around in awareness. Let peaceful thoughts flow into your mind like streams flows into the ocean.

That is when I was introduced to Leo- the man changed my life that day He told his story of how He used to be a professor at UCLA and had tenure every semester he'd asked his students to come by his office to get to know them a bit One day a young woman came in highly intoxicated and he told her he could not see her that way for there was no way he could know her if she were not herself- weeks went by and he saw her less and less until one day she just was not there no one even the class remembered her existence He then went to the Dean of Women and found the young girl had gone to The Pacific Palasades (cliffs) and jumped it was then he thought to himself- "we teach children how to read, write and arithmetic but not how to live" He then gave up his tenure to become a motivational speaker to help people learn to live. he is a great man- I admire and hope to be more like every day :) thank you for sharing this |
"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love." -Rainer Maria Rilke

Let your love be like the misty rain, coming softly...but flooding the river.

In Your time, Spirit ,may I grow in my understanding of self.
My spiritual journey involves a discovery of self. For years, I pretended to be what I was not, what I imagined myself to be, or what others wanted me to be. Today I am beginning to know myself. I understand my needs and my strengths. I accept my weaknesses and live with my confusion. From the time I put down the glass, things have progressively gotten better, but there is still a great deal I do not understand.The daily violence and suffering, and my own personal defenses, impatience, and judgment-where do they come from? I do not know, and that is okay. I still search. My suspicion is that the answer lies within my own insecurities, as they do crop up time to time, ever reminding me of my humanness. |
If you don't feel it, flee from it. Go where you are celebrated, not merely tolerated.
― Paul F. Davis |
"When I feel a little confused . . . the only thing to do is to turn back to the study of nature before launching once again Into the subjects closest to heart."
— Raoul Dufy |
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey |
"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid." ~Audre Lorde

And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea.. What is all this sweet work worth, If thou kiss not me? ~Percy Bysshe Shelley |

“Nothing in the world can make you happy; everything in the world can encourage you to be happy” ― Robert Holden
“Dream your dream; and realize that you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for its reality.” ― Steve Maraboli “I don't want to be the one who says life is beautiful. I want to be the one who feels it.” ― Marty Rubin |
"Everything that is truly worthwhile - I think passion is involved in your approach to it. No matter what it is."

“This is how it works. I love the people in my life, and I do for my friends whatever they need me to do for them, again and again, as many times as is necessary. For example, in your case you always forgot who you are and how much you're loved. So what I do for you as your friend is remind you who you are and tell you how much I love you. And this isn't any kind of burden for me, because I love who you are very much. Every time I remind you, I get to remember with you, which is my pleasure.” ― James Lecesne |
Each day brings a new opportunity to wake and make today your best yet.
