Be Thankful

The mystics tell us that we can liberate our minds by learning not to want anything. Of course, we always need the essentials like food and water, but they are 'needs', not 'wants'. They're talking about the material things that confer status and power. They invite you to be grateful for what you don't have. We are so busy focusing on what we don’t have that we forget to pay attention to what we do have. It's easy to begin feeling you are somehow lacking because you haven't achieved the success or fortune of others. It can be easy to feel left out or feel one doesn't measure up. You may think that some people are lucky for having everything anyone could ever ask for, but just remember that everyone has their own struggles in life. Nothing is perfect, so be thankful for what you have or don’t have. Be grateful for the very fact that you are alive and still have the opportunity to make things happen or go after your dreams.This is something many forget to acknowledge. Always remind yourself that you are lucky to have what you have and try not to dwell over what you don’t.

Choking

Have you ever found yourself choking on your own saliva? 😂😂😂 I am sure you have! People choke on their own saliva for different reasons. Maybe wanting to speak too fast out of excitement...or taking a breath before actually swallowing...ok...that sounds a bit obscene👀...but you get what I am getting at. I found myself choking on my own saliva after a sharp in take of breath in surprise at hearing a song that I had not heard in ages! I actually gasped when I heard the song! It kind of caught me off guard I guess, or rather more by surprise. Perhaps because I was possibly at a point in my life where I had put to bed any memories or thoughts relative to this song. If I can even put it that way. How can I explain this? Or maybe I just assumed I would never ever hear the song again. Needless to say, in a way it was really nice hearing the song again after a couple of years of not having heard it. It was almost like it brought different emotions to the surface. Hmmm...this is really difficult to explain. Maybe it will be easier to explain if I ask myself directly: "What did you feel or how did you feel when you heard the song?" My answer is: It felt good. In the past it made me feel sad when I heard the song. I did not feel that sadness this time. In the past I would actually be annoyed that the song brought all these various emotions that I had felt back to the surface. I felt I could relish in the memories this time. I felt happy. The song put a smile on my face! There was no hurt feelings or sadness. I was not annoyed at hearing the song. It really felt great to hear the song again! I even sang along and thoroughly enjoyed it. Almost as if I had a feeling of acceptance that that is what it was...And just like that...you make it new 💥...good memories! Perhaps the healing has been done! 😊😊😊  

I Had A Dream

Inspiration

Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.

Live life as if everything is rigged in your favour.

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge. 

Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought. 

The very center of your heart is where life begins – the most beautiful place on earth. 

As you start to walk on the way, the way appears. 

Don’t you know yet? It is your light that lights the worlds. 

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal. 

~ Rumi

Memories

Sometimes you don't realise what you had until you don't have it anymore. It is during that time of being apart that you can ponder over what's best in life and what the most important qualities are in a partner that make a loving relationship last. If you are considering re-connecting with a former flame, here's the deal. Consider the life altering experiences you have gone through. If you feel you have done the work, the self-evaluation needs to be honest and sometimes brutal, if you are going to evolve and come out of it a better person. Have your priorities changed and can you now come from a more mature place?

When you get it right, the reward is mutual respect, sincere affection and perhaps love.

A loving relationship is about trust, integrity, chemistry and mutual respect. If you don't have those four things a relationship won't compensate, to the contrary, it will expose the lack thereof.

If you are going to reconnect. Take it slow. Earn each others trust again. Remember what brought you together the first time. Friendship! At the end of the day, that is the one element that keeps a couple together through thick and thin.

Looks fade. Lust and sexual attraction eventually become less exciting. But, waking up everyday to your best friend? Well, that is everything I would want from a relationship!

Yeah, we both know, in between you and me, there's an ocean. Castaway in a sea and it's frozen.

Make Every Minute Count

At this age, everything is changing. Day by day, we don't notice, but just look back over the past year and you will realise everything has. People that you thought were going to be there forever aren't, and people you never thought you would be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of now, before it all changes once again, because, in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories. When this year comes to an end, are you going to say to yourself: "I wish I had..." or are you going to say: "I'm glad I did"? If it happens to be the first, remember, the new year will offer you the chance to get it right!
