YOU HOLD THE KEY
Current mood: loved
Category: Life

YOU HOLD THE KEY
by Carrie Hart

____________________________


Look down into your hand. See the key within it, lying there, sparkling and glowing in the light. The key that unlocks all of the secrets. The key that opens all of the doors. It is right in the palm of your hand. What does it mean to continually learn? It means that doors continually open. It means that each day, each moment, you hold a new key to a new door. The doors are opening continually..





It may seem difficult and overwhelming to you, the rate at which the world changes. You feel that you have just begun to understand something and already it is gone from sight, with something new taking its place..

But the human heart does not change. The human heart is deep and endless, with layers and layers to be discovered, and the journey into your own heart and that of others has been made by many before you and will be made by many more after your own journey is complete. And this key, the key to the mysteries of the human heart, is also lying in the palm of your hand..

Every feeling you have is shared. It is all a part of the experience that all have. And as you find ways to express your experience, true ways, deep ways, you will find a resonance among others who are at the same stage of experience as you are. You will find a kinship and resonance as you reach out with your newfound knowledge and help a few others take the step with you or just behind you. And they will also take their keys and open doors, some for you and some for themselves..

Even though you may feel alone, this journey is never made alone. Traveling with you are many who are experiencing the same thing. There is a group energy that is felt and shared in everything that you do. Every crack in your own heart that you heal, heals the hearts of others. The expression of true love that you share lifts everyone to a higher level. Every discovery you make about your own soul enlightens all. Every song you sing that lifts your spirits, lifts the spirit of all humanity, even though you may think that you sing it alone..

You are deeply connected to all that is, right now, right where you are, even though you may think you are alone. You are not alone, ever. Your experience is a part of the experience of all of life. And the evolution of all mankind is aided by your personal evolution..

It is not selfish to focus on your own enlightenment, for everything you discover, every door you open, is then made available for everyone else to walk through as well. Every dream of love that you have is another way for all to dream, another way for all to be. Every kind act and kind thought, every breath of peace felt deep, lifts all who breathe. Every moment spent in meditation or pure contemplation is a moment of peace shared by all who seek peace..

Your beauty, your song, your kind thoughts and deeds are immensely important to all. They float into the ether and touch all of life. They enter into the vast consciousness of being and make everything that much brighter forever. And nothing is more important than that key put into your hand each day at dawn, so that you may open a new door that only you can see at this moment, as a great opening for all mankind..



Open something, some small new thing. A new breath of peace. An allowance, an acceptance, an appreciation, a beauty. Love this moment with all of your heart. Let its newness shine within you, let its peace unfold in your heart and the entire universe is lifted by your action, your thought, your gesture. Look in your hand... Which door shall you open for us all today?

THE AWAKENING

THE AWAKENING
____________________________________





There comes a time in your life when you finally get it ... When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out "ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on." And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world from a new perspective,

..........this is your awakening.

You realize that it is time to stop hoping and waiting for something, or someone, to change, or for happiness, safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon. You come to terms with the fact that there aren’t always fairytale endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with you. Then a sense of serenity is born of acceptance. So you begin making your way through the "reality of today" rather than holding out for the "promise of tomorrow."

You realize that much of who you are, and the way you navigate through life is, in great part, a result of all the social conditioning you’ve received over the course of a lifetime. And you begin to sift through all the nonsense you were taught about: -- how you should look and how much you should weigh -- what you should wear and where you should shop -- where you should live or what type of car your should drive -- who you should sleep with and how you should behave -- who you should marry and why you should stay -- the importance of bearing children or what you owe your family.

Slowly you begin to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And you begin re-assessing and re-defining who you are and what you really believe in. And you begin to discard the doctrines you have outgrown, or should never have practiced to begin with. You accept the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are... and that’s OK... they are entitled to their own views and opinions. And, you come to terms with the fact that you will never be a size 5 or a "perfect 10".... Or a perfect human being for that matter... and you stop trying to compete with the image inside your head or agonizing over how you compare. And, you take a long look at yourself in the mirror and you make a promise to give yourself the same unconditional love and support you give so freely to others.

Then a sense of confidence is born of self-approval. And, you stop maneuvering through life merely as a "consumer" hungry for your next fix, a new dress, another pair of shoes or looks of approval and admiration from family, friends or even strangers who pass by.

Then you discover that "it is truly in giving that we receive [1] and that the joy and abundance you seek grows out of the giving. And you recognize the importance of "creating" & "contributing" rather than "obtaining" & "accumulating." And you give thanks for the simple things you’ve been blessed with, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about - a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, the freedom of choice and the opportunity to pursue your own dreams. And you begin to love and to care for yourself.

You stop engaging in self-destructive behaviors, including participating in dysfunctional relationships. You begin eating a balanced diet, drinking more water and exercising. And because you’ve learned that fatigue drains the spirit and creates doubt and fear, you give yourself permission to rest. And just as food is fuel for the body, laughter is fuel for the spirit and so you make it a point to create time for play.

Then you learn about love and relationships - how to love, how much to give in love, when to stop giving and when to walk away. And you allow only the hands of a lover who truly loves and respects you to glorify you with his touch. You learn that people don’t always say what they mean or mean what they say, intentionally or unintentionally, and that not everyone will always come through and interestingly enough, it’s not always about you.

So, you stop lashing out and pointing fingers or looking to place blame for the things that were done to you or weren’t done for you. And you learn to keep your Ego in check and to acknowledge and redirect the destructive emotions it spawns; anger, jealousy and resentment. You learn how to say I was wrong and to forgive people for their own human frailties.

You learn to build bridges instead of walls and about the healing power of love as it is expressed through a kind word, a warm smile or a friendly gesture. And, at the same time, you eliminate any relationships that are hurtful or fail to uplift and edify you. You stop working so hard at smoothing things over and setting your needs aside. You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK and that it is your right to want or expect certain things. And you learn the importance of communicating your needs with confidence and grace.

You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that eventually martyrs are burned at the stake. Then you learn to distinguish between guilt, and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to Say NO. You learn that you don’t know all the answers, it’s not your job to save the world and that sometimes you just need to Let Go. Moreover, you learn to look at people as they really are and not as you would want them to be and you are careful not to project your neediness or insecurities onto a relationship.

You learn that you will not be more beautiful, more intelligent, more lovable or important because of the man on your arm or the child that bears your name. You learn that just as people grow and change, so it is with love and relationships and that that not everyone can always love you the way you would want them to. So you stop appraising your worth by the measure of love you are given. And suddenly you realize that it’s wrong to demand that someone live their life or sacrifice their dreams just to serve your needs, ease your insecurities, or meet "your" standards and expectations.

You learn that the only love worth giving and receiving is the love that is given freely without conditions or limitations. And you learn what it means to love. So you stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. You learn that "alone" does not mean "lonely" and you begin to discover the joy of spending time "with yourself" and "on yourself." Then you discover the greatest and most fulfilling love you will ever know. Self Love. And so it comes to pass that, through understanding, your heart heals; and now all new things are possible.

Moving along, you begin to avoid Toxic people and conversations. And you stop wasting time and energy rehashing your situation with family and friends. You learn that talk doesn’t change things and that unrequited wishes can only serve to keep you trapped in the past. So you stop lamenting over what could or should have been and you make a decision to leave the past behind. Then you begin to invest your time and energy to affect positive change. You take a personal inventory of all your strengths and weaknesses and the areas you need to improve in order to move ahead, you set your goals and map out a plan of action to see things through.

You learn that life isn’t always fair and you don’t always get what you think you deserve and you stop personalizing every loss or disappointment. You learn to accept that sometimes bad things happen to good people and that these things are not an act of God... but merely a random act of fate. And you stop looking for guarantees, because you’ve learned that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected and that whatever happens, you’ll learn to deal with it. And you learn that the only thing you must truly fear is the great robber baron of all time - FEAR itself. So you learn to step right into and through your fears, because to give into fear is to give away the right to live life on your terms.

You learn that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophesy and you learn to go after what you want and not to squander your life living under a cloud of indecision or feelings of impending doom. Then, YOU LEARN ABOUT MONEY... the personal power and independence it brings and the options it creates. And you recognize the necessity to create your own personal wealth.

Slowly, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never ever settle for less than your heart’s desire. And a sense of power is born of self-reliance. And you live with honor and integrity because you know that these principles are not the outdated ideals of a by-gone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build your life. And you make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting and to stay open to every wonderful opportunity and exciting possibility.

Then you hang a wind chime outside your window to remind yourself what beauty there is in Simplicity. Finally, with courage in your heart and with God by your side you take a stand, you FAKE a deep breath and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you can. A word about the Power of Prayer: In some of my darkest, most painful and frightening hours, I have prayed, not for the answers to my prayers or for material things, but for my "God" to help me find the strength, confidence and courage to persevere; to face each day and to do what I must do.

Remember this - You are an expression of the almighty. The spirit of God resides within you and moves through you. Open your heart, speak to that spirit and it will heal and empower you.

My "God" has never failed me.

Moving Forward:
Using Trust as Your LIfe Preserver

by Sunny Schlenger

__________________________________

Several years ago, a series of unexpected events tossed me out of Life Cruise mode, and into the cold rapids of Uncharted Reality. A good friend counseled me to grab onto the only thing I could-- my faith that things would work out the way they were supposed to--and just hang on. In other words, use trust as my life preserver.

I’ve never forgotten this advice, and fortunately haven’t had to use it too often. But every time I do, I’m both amazed at and comforted by its power to get me through whatever requires navigation.

Crises test our beliefs, and I’m pretty sure that they occur when they do as a way of showing us what we’re made of; they make us walk our talk and demonstrate how far we’ve come since the last time our foundation was shaken. We’d much rather do without them, of course, but handled correctly, they can lift us to the next level of our growth.

Crises can range from small, unpleasant surprises to (literally) earth-shattering events. We may just be knocked off-balance, or thrown to the ground. But in every case, our feelings of security are at least momentarily derailed. And that’s what can prove to be so terrifying.

"This isn’t supposed to be happening," we tell ourselves. "I didn’t bargain for this; I didn’t plan for it. I did everything I was supposed to do and knew how to do. It isn’t fair." We’ve all experienced the shock and disbelief of events occurring, big or little, for which we don’t feel prepared. Our first reaction probably is to fight the unwelcome reality, but our success in dealing with it will, in large part, depend on how quickly we can move to the next stage--acknowledgment.

With acknowledgment comes the acceptance that yes, the event has indeed occurred. We are no longer on the boat; we are in the rapids. And we have a choice: we can resist by frantically attempting to swim backwards, or we can flow with the current and see what our options are. And to flow or float, we need a life preserver.

By accepting trust as that life preserver, we’ve enabling ourselves to relax and assess the situation without wasting all of our energy flailing about. We need that energy, and all of our wits about us, because sometimes we’re tossed overboard for a reason that’s not immediately apparent. Very often there’s something hidden in the depths that can be of use to us, but when we refuse to accept that a change or reversal has happened, we limit our ability to learn or develop or benefit from the knowledge we gain.

If you can trust that things do often happen for a reason, you’re in a position to see things from a different perspective, and look for whatever messages there might be for you.

How to Be Organized in Spite of Yourself

I’ve found that many times we settle for what we think we can get, instead of going after what we really want. Or we underestimate our talents, or value, and don’t utilize those assets that would be so helpful to others. Or we assume that we know how things are supposed to work out, and ignore messages to the contrary. And, therefore we need to be tossed into the river from time to time in order to shake up our perceptions, and ultimately move forward.

Sometimes the message is that we should be doing things differently. Maybe we need to appreciate certain things more. Or certain people. Maybe we’re being told that our timing is not right. Maybe we have to learn the value of patience, or honesty, or kindness, self-love or humor. Maybe we just have to learn to weather adversity with dignity and faith.

We’re all here to learn our own special lessons and we can do so, much more easily and with more grace, if we heed those messages. At the very least, we should "look" for positive information in whatever form it might come. Not every cloud has that silver lining, but we’ll never find what could be there if we don’t seek it out.

Having trust doesn’t mean that everything will necessarily work out the way you want it to. Having trust means that you know that you are being supported through your ordeal, and that if you are patient and perceptive, you’ll find a way to persevere. You’ll come out stronger, maybe wiser, and hopefully with a greater sense of peace.

The Top 7 Signs of Self-Sabotaging Behaviors
Current mood: awake
Category: Life

The Top 7 Signs of Self-Sabotaging Behaviors

By; Dr. Robert Anthony



Having trouble reaching all your goals?

Are you going for what you want, but feeling like something is road-blocking the way?

Are you finding yourself "not" doing some of the things you know you should be doing?

You may be a victim of sabotage---self- sabotage.

How do you know, and what can you do about it?

Read on and see.






1. Focusing on what is not working, not right or missing from your life.

Problem: Notice how often you speak about and think about what is not working, not right, or missing from your life. This only attracts more of the things you don’t want.

Action: Ask yourself a new question: "What’s going right?" or "What IS working?" Begin to notice all the things, no matter how small, that are working well. Keep an evidence journal and each day write down everything, I do mean everything, that is working and you will attract more of what is working!



2. Being stuck in fear:

Problem: Do you worry a lot about the future and what is going to happen or might happen? Are you thinking about your fears so much that you are paralyzed and take no action because of fear of what might occur?

Action: It is time to put your focus on the present. We can’t control or predict the future or other people’s behaviors. All we can control is our own, right here, right now.

Ask yourself the question "What is the worst thing that could happen?" Then, let go and know that rarely do the scenarios we create in our heads occur. Take a moment to put things into perspective by writing down the things you can not change, the things you want to change, and accept that the Universe, God, Spirit, whatever you call it will take of the rest. It always does!



3. Feeling you have no value.

Problem: Do you forget all your accomplishments and lack pride in who you are and what you have accomplished? If you obsess about the past or your lack of success or lack of achievement, then you’ll be stuck in noticing how much you lack as a person. If you often criticize yourself or can’t accept compliments, it’s a definite sign that you have fallen into this trap.

Action: You can choose to notice what you do that is good and the things you can be proud of, no matter how small they may seem. Each day keep a log of what you are grateful for about YOU. When you hear your mind chattering about what you haven’t done right or well, turn down the volume and turn up the volume to hear the voice that knows the TRUTH about who you are and how you add value to the world.

Acknowledge yourself for at least 5 things each and every day that you did well. Each day, compliment yourself on something you did that you feel good about. Notice your small successes and accept the compliments others give you.




4. Comparing yourself to others.

Problem: Do you constantly compare yourself to others and then feel badly when compared to them? Comparison doesn’t motivate us to do more or be better, instead it makes us feel we’ll never be good enough and we aren’t right now.

Action: Write out the 5 qualities you like best about yourself. Then write out what you value most in your life. When you go to a place of comparison, notice how similar you are with the other person vs. what is different. Begin to create a list of adjectives that describe you - at least 25 positive words about your greatness. Whenever you notice yourself in a comparison mode, think of some of the adjectives that describe YOU.




5. Self-Sabotage - getting what you want and then losing it.

Problem: Do you not believe that you deserve to have what you want? When you get what you want, why do you often lose it or mess it up? What is the true story underneath - maybe that you think aren’t good enough to have it?

Action: List all the things you have accomplished that faded away. Simply notice these things, but don’t place any judgment on the fact they disappeared. How did they bring you satisfaction? How did they make you feel? What is the limiting belief that you have that tells you inside why you can’t have what you want? Be quiet, be still and listen to it.

Write down how you felt when you had what you wanted. Write down how you feel now, without it. Then write a "bridge belief": A very, very small belief that feels a little bit better than what you now feel. Each week, create a new bridge belief, not matter how small, that you can really believe. By using these bridges as stepping-stones, you’ll shift your limiting beliefs slowly and be on the other side of the bridge and able to maintain it because you will have a new belief inside of you.



6. You chase away relationships.

Problem: Do you always feel something is missing in your relationships or find fault with the other person? Perhaps you are afraid of intimacy. Underneath this is usually a fear of abandonment or exposure that causes you to distance yourself from others.

Action: Create a list of the qualities you value in a relationship and the qualities you want to attract in your partners. Express what you want and don’t want to the other person and allow them to express the same to you. Create time to acknowledge the other person on a regular basis. Notice when you feel afraid. Don’t try to push the feelings away. Know that the feelings are there and that is fine. Then, in that moment, focus on what feels good about the relationship.



7. Having no purpose.

Problem: Do you feel you have no purpose in life? We all have some purpose for being on the planet and it is time to notice yours.

Action: Write down all the things that are important to you - the thing you want to create in your life. Then write out what you want to contribute to the world. From your writing, create a statement of purpose for yourself that you can read each and every day.

Then stop worrying about not knowing your purpose and start creating what you desire now. It doesn’t matter what you want in the future. So start creating something you want in your life NOW. This action will ultimately put you in alignment and bring you closer to your overall purpose. Your partner in change,

10 Ways to make life fun and Be happy
Current mood: touched




Contrary to the opinion of many parents, it’s OK to want to have fun in everything you do in life. It’s not selfish, insensitive or self-centered. Wanting life to be fun is natural, normal and healthy.

Every aspect of life goes better with fun. Fun can lubricate even the most tedious chore. And fun can infuse even the most serious of situations with the lightness of love.

May I suggest a few actions to keep your day light:

1.Practice random acts of connection.

Really. It works. Wave to a firefighter. Smile at a cop. Salute a soldier. Hang with a kid. Have a friendly conversation with the cashier. Leave an outrageously generous tip. Drop in a shelter. Volunteer at a literacy program. Show up at a community fund-raising event.

2.Serve others. When you give, you feel more connected to other people.

And if you’re not naturally motivated to reach out to others, think selfishly: any altruistic gesture—from buying someone a coffee to letting another driver in front of you—puts you on the fast track to feeling good.

3.Make at least one just-for-fun phone call a day.

Water your field of dreams—your energy field! Call a friend who is consistently fun to talk to. Just for the heaven of it! … not for business or to have any other need met. Simply ring someone up for a sociable hello without any agenda or expectation.

Look upon life as a Mystery School.

Welcome serendipity. Invite surprise. Cultivate spontaneity. Notice synchronicity. Know that the whole of your life—events, situations and people—has been secretly structured by your soul in order to bring you the experiences you want to have this lifetime. Approach life as if the whole of creation is conspiring to bring you goodness …because it is! Realize that unpleasant people and situations are deliberately placed in your path as a challenge to help you grow big enough to embrace even them.

4. Have an exciting destination.

Seek wonder. Go toward joy, ease and adventure—not simply away from boredom, pain, struggle and fear. Don’t dwell on the old. Focus on your destination—move towards a fun future.

5. Rejoice each step of the way.

To keep from being overwhelmed—yet still make headway—break your larger goals down into more manageable steps. It’s easy to become discouraged if each step looms large and requires a major expenditure of time. Take at least one action a day—no matter how minor. Then you can make some progress only if you have a few minutes. It may be something as little as gathering or setting out the materials for the next stage.

As you take small steps, check them off as achieved. Give yourself a pat on the back for your progress. Always focus on the advancement you’ve made as being just as important as the distance you have yet to go.

6.Strive for success—not for perfection.

Give up perfectionism! Perfectionism goes hand in hand with fear of success and failure. We feel in order to succeed we must be perfect. As perfectionists, we insure that we will never be satisfied with who we are. Giving up perfectionism means seeing the good in our lives rather than the faults, focusing on what is working rather than what is not working.

Celebrate success in one aspect of your life each day. Look for the positive. Ask, "What did I do that was on the mark? Which parts of my day went well? What am I happy about?" This approach and attitude helps take the sting out of the aspects of your life that seem lacking.

7.Take a daily mini-vacation.

Take 15 minutes each day to do . . . nothing! Nothing of any significance whatsoever. We need time each day to not race against the clock or be productive. As we slow down, our spirit is free to be restored and creative. Go on a walk. Listen to music. Sit on the couch. Dance, run, jog, skip or stretch. Write, paint or sketch. Pet an animal or plant. Listen to the wind. Take yourself on a date. Do something that is alive and energizing for you.

The point is to relax. No multi-tasking. Don’t live in your daily planner.

And take a break from technology for a while. Turn off your phone, fax and pager. Our modern conveniences have made us more accessible and vulnerable to other’s agendas and demands.

8.Just say "No."

Consider everything you habitually say "Yes" to each day. Community involvement. Errands for family. Favors for friends. Daily calls. Regular visits. Take time to consult with your spirit. Ask, "Is this activity at this time, in this way, really serving me? Is this the wisest use of my time and energy for all concerned in the long run? Is this activity giving me more energy than it is ultimately taking?

If the answer to these questions is "No," then your answer to the activity should be "No."

In saying "No" to the people and events that aren’t intuitively right for you, you are actually saying "Yes" to yourself—and to the people and values that mean the most to you. If you allow yourself to be tied up with disharmonious, non-aligned situations, you can’t be available to share your true gifts with your family, friends and the world at large.

9.Give yourself a place lift.

Do you long for more expanse, efficiency, easy flow and elbow room in your life? By intuitively re-arranging the elements of your daily life, you can create the space to nurture the fun, freedom, opportunities and effectiveness you desire. By clearing out the old, dead elements of your life, you create a natural vacuum and an unblocked channel for fresh, new energy and ideas to come into your private and professional life.

10. Share your life experience.

Keep in mind that not everyone knows what you know. Your personal experiences can be valuable to others. You might be surprised by what some people don’t know about life! I always am.

We thrive when we feel we are valued and have left the world a better place at the end of each day. Leave a grand legacy.

Happiness comes from sharing happiness. There are few joys that are as complete as bringing joy to another human being.

Joy defies the laws of economics in that it’s not something that we have less of when we give it away. Joy is something that grows greater for the giver as it is given. The more you give, the more you have.

BEING A GOOD FRIEND
Category: Friends

/> Crystal




Nurturing Healthy Friendships

MySpace Editor

Of all relationships, friendship can be the most versatile and fulfilling because it is a gift bestowed willingly. Each person who receives your friendship should receive a part of you in the form of caring, concern, happiness, and support. In return, you enjoy the companionship of your friends because they offer comfort, cheer, and a shoulder to cry on. Like any relationship, however, friendship does not simply exist, but must be nurtured and encouraged to grow through actions, words, and reciprocal feelings. The first and most important aspect of being a good friend is treating others with the same respect and kindness with which you wish to be treated. Doing so can be a guide in forging friendships with others.

Being a good friend is easiest and most rewarding when you choose your friendships wisely. Friendships should be built upon a foundation of mutual trust, acceptance, and support. Show them you care, not just using words, but also using actions: Be courteous and kind, honest, and willing to compromise, and shy away from being overly critical. When your friend encounters trouble, support their decision wholeheartedly, but always be willing to tell them when they’re about to step onto a dangerous path. In doing so, you will help your friend flourish in their own way, while still being a there for them. Really listen to and share in your friend’s triumphs as well as their upsets with patience, kindness, and a sense of humor.

In any strong friendship, conflict will inevitably arise, but be willing to compromise and respect your friend’s opinions. If they apologize, accept their apology with grace and forgive them promptly. Try to never hold a grudge, because holding on to negative emotions can put a strain on a friendship. Let your friend be who they are, not who you’d prefer them to be. Friends don’t always agree, but it’s helpful to keep in mind that it’s their enjoyment of each other’s company that makes dealing with disagreements worthwhile.

There may be times when you feel ill-equipped to be a good friend, but knowing and admitting this is just another part of a strong friendship. Your friend will understand that you, too, have issues of importance in your life. Developing and maintaining rewarding and lasting friendships is a challenge, but one that yields beautiful results.

The Path of Unconditional Happiness

The Path of Unconditional Happiness
by Michael A. Singer

The highest spiritual path is life itself. If you know how to live
daily life, it all becomes a liberating experience. But first you have
to approach life properly, or it can be very confusing. To begin with,
you have to realize that you really only have one choice in this life,
and it’s not about your career, whom you want to marry, or whether you
want to seek God. People tend to burden themselves with so many
choices. But, in the end, you can throw it all away and just make one
basic, underlying decision: Do you want to be happy, or do you not
want to be happy? It’s really that simple. Once you make that choice,
your path through life becomes totally clear.

Most people don’t dare give themselves that choice because they think
it’s not under their control. Someone might say, "Well, of course I
want to be happy, but my wife left me." In other words, they want to
be happy, but not if their wife leaves them. But that wasn’t the
question. The question was, very simply, "Do you want to be happy or
not?" If you keep it that simple, you will see that it really is under
your control. It’s just that you have a deep-seated set of preferences
that gets in the way.

Let’s say you’ve been lost and without food for days, and you finally
find your way to a house. You can hardly make it to the doorstep, but
you manage to pull yourself up and knock on the door. Somebody opens
the door, looks at you and says, "Oh my God! You poor thing! Do you
want something to eat? What would you like?" Now the truth is, you
really don’t care what they give you. You don’t even want to think
about it. You just utter the word "food." And because you really mean
it when you say you need food, it no longer has anything to do with
your mental preferences. The same goes for the question about
happiness. The question is simply "Do you want to be happy?" If the
answer is really yes, then say it without qualifying it. After all,
what the question really means is "Do you want to be happy from this
point forward for the rest of your life, regardless of what happens?"
Now, if you say yes, it might happen that your wife leaves you, or
your husband dies, or the stock marker crashes, or your car breaks
down on an open highway at night. Those things might happen between
now and the end of your life. But if you want to walk the highest
spiritual path, then when you answer yes to that simple question, you
must really mean it. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. It’s
not a question of whether your happiness is under your control. Of
course it’s under your control. It’s just that you don’t really mean
it when you say you’re willing to stay happy. You want to qualify it.
You want to say that as long as this doesn’t happen, or as long as
that does happen, then you’re willing to be happy. That’s why it seems
like it is out of your control. Any condition you create will limit
your happiness. You simply aren’t going to be able to control things
and keep them the way you want them.

You have to give an unconditional answer. If you decide that you’re
going to be happy from now on for the rest of your life, you will not
only be happy, you will become enlightened. Unconditional happiness is
the highest technique there is. You don’t have to learn Sanskrit or
read any scriptures. You don’t have to renounce the world. You just
have to really mean it when you say that you choose to be happy. And
you have to mean it regardless of what happens. This is truly a
spiritual path, and it is as direct and sure a path to Awakening as
could possibly exist.

Once you decide you want to be unconditionally happy, something
inevitably will happen that challenges you. This test of your
commitment is exactly what stimulates spiritual growth. In fact, it is
the unconditional aspect of your commitment that makes this the
highest path. It’s so simple. You just have to decide whether or not
you will break your vow. When everything is going well, it’s easy to
be happy. But the moment something difficult happens, it’s not so
easy. You tend to find yourself saying, "But I didn’t know this was
going to happen. I didn’t think I’d miss my flight. I didn’t think
Sally would show up at the party wearing the same dress that I had on.
I didn’t think that somebody would dent my brand-new car one hour
after I got it." Are you really willing to break your vow of happiness
because these events took place?

Billions of things could happen that you haven’t even thought of yet.
The question is not whether they will happen. Things are going to
happen. The real question is whether you want to be happy regardless
of what happens. The purpose of your life is to enjoy and learn from
your experiences. You were not put on Earth to suffer. You’re not
helping anybody by being miserable. Regardless of your philosophical
beliefs, the fact remains that you were born and you are going to die.
During the time in between, you get to choose whether or not you want
to enjoy the experience. Events don’t determine whether or not you’re
going to be happy. They’re just events. You determine whether or not
you’re going to be happy. You can be happy just to be alive. You can
be happy having all these things happen to you, and then be happy to
die. If you can live this way, your heart will be so open and your
Spirit will be so free, that you will soar up to the heavens.

This path leads you to absolute transcendence because any part of your
being that would add a condition to your commitment to happiness has
got to go. If you want to be happy, you have to let go of the part of
you that wants to create melodrama. This is the part that thinks
there’s a reason not to be happy. You have to transcend the personal,
and as you do, you will naturally awaken to the higher aspects of your
being.

In the end, enjoying life’s experiences is the only rational thing to
do. You’re sitting on a planet spinning around in the middle of
absolutely nowhere. Go ahead, take a look at reality. You’re floating
in empty space in a universe that goes on forever. If you have to be
here, at least be happy and enjoy the experience. You’re going to die
anyway. Things are going happen anyway. Why shouldn’t you be happy?
You gain nothing by being bothered by life’s events. It doesn’t change
the world; you just suffer. There’s always going to be something that
can bother you, if you let it.

This choice to enjoy life will lead you through your spiritual
journey. In truth, it is itself a spiritual teacher. Committing
yourself to unconditional happiness will teach you every single there
is to learn about yourself, about others, and about the nature of
life. You will learn all about your mind, your heart, and your will.
But you have to mean it when you say that you’ll be happy for the rest
of your life. Every time a part of you begins to get unhappy let it
go. Work with it. Use affirmations, or do whatever you need to do to
stay open. If you are committed, nothing can stop you. No matter what
happens, you can chose to enjoy the experience. If they starve you and
put you in solitary confinement, just have fun being like Gandhi. No
matter what happens, just enjoy the life that comes to you.

As difficult as that sounds, what’s the benefit of not doing it? If
you’re totally innocent and they lock you up, you might as well have
fun. What good does it do to not have fun? It doesn’t change anything.
In the end, if you stay happy, you win. Make that your game, and just
stay happy no matter what.

" Friends are the angels who lift us to our feet
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

"A good friend remembers what we were and sees what we can be."

" A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."

" A Friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway!!!"

" The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make is that
they can grow separately without growing apart."

" Friends always show their love. What are brothers for if not to share troubles?" (Proverbs 17:17)

" The greatest love a person can have for his friends is to give his life for them." (John 15:13 )

hearts

" THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP "
(A Bible study / Devotional...)

( Proverbs 17:17 NAS )" A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity."

There are two very powerful thoughts here.

"A Friend loves at all times," means there is nothing that one friend can do to the other that will break their friendship. There is not act or word that can not be forgiven between two friends of this kind. This is not a reference to casual friends or acquaintances. I have a few of these friends. There number is small, but I count on them even if only to know they are on my side. Conversely, I make it very clear to them that I will be on their side regardless of the circumstances. Let me explain that I think that phrase "regardless of the circumstances" means. If one of these friends were to actually commit a crime, a serious crime, I may not be able to do anything but remain on their side. But I will remain on their side. Their guilt or innocence is not a factor. Guilty or not, they are still my friend. If they attack me, I value their friendship enough to wait for a time when things calm down and we can work things out.

Does it mean that it doesn't hurt, or there are no questions? No, it does not. But it does mean that the value of this special kind of friendship is worth taking a few angry words or actions. Is there a limit to what is tolerable? Is there a point where this friend could demonstrate that they are no longer a friend? I suppose there is. But there are so few of these relationships in a lifetime that the limit is higher than may even be logical, and the value of the relationship is worth the price of the pain.

Needless to say this kind of relationship is not given away lightly, and only rarely quickly. This kind of fierce loyalty is sometimes born in a moment of adversity. When one person must have help to get through something. The help can come unasked and unexpected. At times, it even comes unwanted given with a firm explanation that says the help is given because it is the only way the outcome will not be ill. Either a blood brother, or that friend that sticks closer than a brother is someone you can count on in a desperate or frustrating moment. As sure as God is in control, He moves hearts that respond to the needs of someone in the middle of adversity.

The english language has more than a few weaknesses. In Greek, there are five words for love. One is the same root word we get Philadelphia from, the City of Brotherly Love. The greeks recognized this as a form of love. They separated it from the romantic or erotic feelings that we english speaking people most often refer to as love. Our culture often has difficulty with this concept of the love of friends to our detriment I believe. Even the best of us needs assurance at times. And a hug is a great way to let someone know they are not alone.

This is a description of the best mortal man can ask, and it is rare. But this is only a pale shadow of the love of Jesus Christ for a lost and fallen creation. He has demonstrated His love to us over and over again. And we as a people, and even those who call Him Lord and Savior struggle against Him at times. And yet, He remains at out sides. He knows that without His love we are pitiable at best, and lost for all eternity in the end. And so He stays through the slings and arrows and misunderstanding at our sides. He remains that friend who sticks closer than a brother. Jesus has paid the ultimate price to free us from the power of sin and death. That tells me that, in His mind, the relationship is worth the price of the pain.

Can you have too many friends? Proverbs says you can. It's like a lot of things. If you try to do too many things at once, you will do none of them well. If you try to do a few things, you have a chance to do all of them justice. If you try to overextend your self, everyone will feel a little short changed and begin to fall away. Choose your friends wisely too. The company you keep is an indication of your own character...


" When someone falls, be there with a hand to help them up."

( 1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV)" And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

A Loving Heart Y/R Fan

" LOVE WITHOUT MEASURE "
(Something for the heart...)

Freda Bright says, "Only in opera do people die of love." It's true. You really can't love somebody to death. I've known people to die from no love, but I've never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can't love one another enough.

A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off. Or … did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: "Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you."

Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read: "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you."

Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his spouse is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds.

He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction. He may say that he loves her to death. But he doesn't. He loves her to LIFE. For his love nourishes her life like nothing else can.

Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said: "What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family." And love your friends. Love them without measure.

Love them to LIFE !!!


" Love is a very powerful thing. It can survive many things."

Miracles

" LIFE IS A MIRACLE "
(A poem...)

Life is a miracle
Don't let it slip away,
Open your heart to others
Give of yourself each day.

See the beauty in everyone
Regardless of where they've been,
Some have a difficult journey
And really need a friend.

Share your gifts and talents
Listen with your heart.
Do the things you dream about
But don't have time to start.

Pick a bouquet of flowers
Show someone that you care,
Be gracious and forgiving
Life is never fair.

Hold on to your courage
You may need it down the road,
We all have a cross to bear
It could be a heavy load.

If you practice all these things
No matter where you roam,
You may find both sun and rain
But you'll never feel alone !


" Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:7-8)

" To live a rich and abundant life, ask not what life can do for you, ask what you can do for the lives of others."

" All of us are here by grace and, at some point, all of us have to share some grace."

" Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only what you are expecting to give."

" Life is more accurately measured by the lives you
touch than the things you acquire."

" SURROUND YOURSELF WITH ENCOURAGERS "
(A touching story...)

Simeon Ford, the proprietor of the old Grand Union Hotel in New York, said, "You don't need to know anything about a hotel to run one. You just open up and the customers tell you how to run it."

That must be true of other businesses, too. I heard of a newspaper editor who called in her assistant and handed him a stack of papers. "These are suggestions sent in by subscribers on how to run our paper. Make sure you carry them out," she said.

He did. He carried them out and dropped them in the trash bin.

Many people are quick to suggest, and quicker to criticize. When asked why she was always so critical, one woman said, "I guess I just have a knack for seeing other people's faults!" (There's a gift she could hide under a bushel.)

Criticizers are not hard to find. What the world needs are good encouragers. Not more people to find fault, but people to point out strengths and encourage us to excel. The most successful people look for positive qualities. They see potential where others see failure. And they encourage success in others.

Mark Twain put it like this: "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great."

Who do you spend time with? Criticizers or encouragers? Surround yourself with those who believe in you. Your life is too important for anything less...




People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you
know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When
someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have
expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide
you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or
spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part
or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring
the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.

Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled,
their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is
time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come
to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you
laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give
you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a
season .

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build
upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept
the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind
but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season
or a lifetime...


" Love is unselfish
it cares about others,
it will go out of its way
for a stranger,
and never give up on a sister or brother."..

" PORTRAIT OF A FRIEND "

I can't give solutions to all life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I

can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the

future with it's untold stories. But I can be there now when you need

me.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that

you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, successes, and happiness are not mine; Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge; I can only

support you, encourage you, and help when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your

values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you, and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you, But

I can give you room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting, But I can cry

with you and help you to pick up the pieces and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend !

Be Blessed & take care !

Peace and LOVE always,



Brother Anthony (Phil.4:13)

A true friend never walks away
A true friend will always at Heart stay
A true friend looks out for you
A true friend makes life better everyday...

True Love Dissolves Every Human Boundary TWINFLAMES
Category: Romance and Relationships

TRUE LOVE DISSOLVES EVERY HUMAN BOUNDARY

Not in a thousand years, as you say, could your little minds have seen what we shall do together here on Earth. For hidden in the guise of human beings are some of the greatest Twin Flames that exist. Not just exist as beings of evolving consciousness who are a part of life on Earth, no. Rather, you have come, dear ones, from those very realms of light. You have come to sound the chord; you have come to show the way. You have come to reunite every human being who will say "Yes" to Love with his or her Twin Flame. Their one and only SoulMate. And to assure them that true Love is the greatest hope for the beloved Earth and all the life manifesting here.

You will all begin to see a wave of patterning as SoulMates or Twin Flames are drawn back together, for we have very specifically chosen to bridge all the gaps of human judgment as we do this. True Love can and will dissolve every human boundary, every last impediment to Love. Love and age have nothing to do with each other. And in the world of Love we are building, all depravity dissolves, so all societal taboos can be dissolved. Of course some of these taboos had to be in place as humanity lived the anti-Christ in order to protect our precious children from the wretched minds of backward men and women.

Soon you will find more and more couples drawn together across all human boundaries - be they race, or color, or religion, or the politics of men. And we shall welcome them. We shall wrap them in the glorious truth. We shall say to them, "Well done!" as we help them remember what they do as they choose to love instead of hate. As they choose to live Love through the heart and not the little mind or the human ego.

You are the Love I Am, every moment. And you are here, all of you, to clear away those things that keep My precious children from experiencing this. Things such as, "We aren't together physically." This seems to be a "big one" when, in truth, it is the physical that isn't real. So everything you can do to leave this weight behind and fly together in each other's arms in consciousness, you do for those who follow quickly on your heels. Love is ageless and timeless. And Love, true Love, SoulMate Love, the burning Twin Flame Love is not about bodies. It will be our work to reunite these glorious Twin Flames in truth, in heart and consciousness, and then to bring them close in their bodies. As you first attune yourselves together through your hearts, you will experience the ecstasy of who you really are.

Now to be explicit (a cosmic smile). For you shall see that I Am All -- even including sexuality. And though the robbing of humankind of its joy and power has made it an uncomfortable subject, it certainly is not for Me. Everything is sexual, everything that is. So, as you join with your SoulMate in consciousness in the sweet velvet night, when your bodies are in bed in separate (seemingly) places, you must know that everything you do is an exchange with your Twin Flame -- regardless of what appears to be, as seen through the backward lens of your mind. So you can know that if you tune yourselves to each other, you will feel him or her there with you. And as you love together and sing across the starry universe, she (or he) can touch your body with her consciousness, and so can you touch her on every level as well.

This is real. It is not fantasy. Thus, dear ones, you can allow your body to join in the Love. You can allow the very cells, the atoms of which they're made, to join, to return with you to the orgasmic Moment of Creation. Can you sense what I Am showing you? That when Twin Flames unite, everything around them is also Making Love.

Oh, soon enough you will all come to see this - how you are the cosmos, the consciousness of Love within which all this exists - all of the glorious beings of Nature, the precious land, the waters, the trees, the flowers, the birds. And these lovely bodies. Every single cell is a solar system given life by you. So when you Make Love, the world makes Love all around you. The day will come when flowers will grow and bloom in the time of your orgasm together in true Twin Flame union. So if your bodies explode forth in orgasmic ecstasy as you are Making Love with your Twin Flame in heart and consciousness, it is a gift to every cell to join you in the Moment of Creation.

Dear ones, those who are at a distance from their SoulMate for whatever reason, have the advantage of learning to love, or to Make Love from the "top down." Meaning that they shall spend time joining in conscious LoveMaking through their hearts and thus in the Real, beyond this little pocket of reversal. They then allow the real LoveMaking to magnetize everything that is within their consciousness into a glorious participation in the orgasmic Now. Then, when it is time to be together in this world as well, such couples will have LoveMaking right - the union of their heart and consciousness (or heart's consciousness, to be more exact) bringing all parts of their beings into orgasmic union.

For those who are together physically, please use your physical unions to also practice together this "correct order" of Love Making by joining together in heart until you can feel the orgasmic Now, the ecstasy flowing through your open heart, and then allowing that ecstatic Love and glorious yet tender merging of Twins to carry your bodies with it into the orgasmic experience of the Now.

Your Twin is with you in his or her greater self completely. Wrapped within each other is how I have created you - exactly as Twin Flames would be. If you were to watch two flames burning together, would you be able to tell where one stopped and the other began? Of course you would not. Such is the truth of every child of God - you are a One that is Two. Only this veil of illusion separates this truth from you, but it is forever there.

So, dear ones, all of you - everything you experience you share together with your Twin Flame. It is impossible not to. Thus, as you touch a flower, as you watch the moon, as you feel that breeze upon your cheek, you share it with your own Twin Flame. And as you become conscious of each other, you both will begin to know it. You will experience that which your Twin Flame does.

So as you open your consciousness beyond the belief that things on Earth are solid, you will begin a shared experience of glorious communion. One in which I Am ever and fully present, as well, with the two of you. Oh, dear ones, practice this. Want it. Open yourselves. A key, of course, is that each of you must choose to send that which you experience and the other must, of course, choose to receive it.

So more and more, as true Love comes, it will break down the dream of separation because Love wants only the reunion with its Twin.

Can you see how perfectly we've made this plan? How nothing else but Twin Flame Love could heal the world in time, could shift the nightmare back to Love and save our beloved Lucifer who has been embodying this "reversal"? For as the wave of life is drawn back in, we could not leave him, as some believed (thinking those not open enough to return Home would continue on elsewhere). This reversal is held in place by him, and the warmth, the light, the truth of Love must penetrate his body now and bring him back awake.

Thus you came. And many more. To lead the way to reclaiming Love. To reunify the world and release the false beliefs. And every human being knows, deep within, the truth that they have one true Love. Even now they feel the call - or else why would any still bother after all the ways Love hurts when its purpose is reversed?

Every human being is a part of a true Love, a SoulMate, Twin Flame union, and it lives within their heart. We will prove them right. As the Twin Flames come together and we bring forth their stories, others will remember that hope is not lost. Then they will be ready to choose Love and to choose the heart. We shall show them how.

Thus do I ask each of you to fully experience every beauty, to look at your experience each and every moment with this new awareness. You are like a video camera sending to your Twin. What do you want to give to them, the one you love more than your little self? Certainly you want to send them only beauty. You want to notice every good, to feel each precious moment. To see each day as a new opportunity to share each other's life. This then shall become the measure by which you choose your focus.

Good practice in keeping right attitude, yes, but also it is the living truth. Yet you also can know this. Everything that you choose of Love, of union and of openness, and everything in which you turn to Me takes you directly into contact with your Twin Flame heart. For you together are made of Love, and the truth of SoulMates is that a SoulMate union only happens through the heart. So everything of ego that you choose (or you allow, which is the same as choosing. You just pretend you're not aware.)
actually obscures your Love and keeps the veil between you so you then only see a human being there before you. Ego to ego you are fallible, confused and finding obstacles - not only in your relationship but in your life, as well, since life is really your consciousness reflecting how you do your work of living Love.

Thus shall you know that choosing Love in every moment and seeing the world only through your heart, you are in real contact with your SoulMate, your Twin Flame. And thus do I ask you to treat yourself to moments filled with joy regardless of what you think you're doing (in the world). For in treating yourself you are treating your beloved and pouring through your Twin Flame heart more Love to unfreeze this world of Love and anti-Love.

Bathe in each moment's beauty. Love yourself, for in doing so you love your Twin. Not, as I have said, as the world might see those words as meaning to include all the ego quirks and selfishness. But rather as I love. With purity and tenderness and Love that is not conditional. Because in doing so, you love your SoulMate just as well. And, love your SoulMate
unconditionally and you love yourself. For truly they reflect you in every way (including any impediments still lingering with you).

I still use these two terms, SoulMates and Twin Flames, as the same because all the explanations of the differences between them are simply the inventions of the little mind in seeing degrees of separation. There is only one. One SoulMate or Twin Flame. And you are either home in Love and with your Twin or you are not. And the shift between these states is, essentially, one choice. Yet it is all the mind's agreements that keep you spending time to recover that truth. .

Can you see the angels sending out the call to all Twin Flames to reunite? Can you hear it?

Love! Love as if this moment were the only one you had to express it. To express how much you care and to live as who you really are. For in truth, it really is all you have. Yet with every new moment, the amount of Love that I can pour through you can change. Take everything of beauty and see it with the eyes of a SoulMate, a Twin Flame, one whom I created to be the perfect lover, the true and perfect heart of devotion and of giving of the Love you are. With every night you have the opportunity to dance through the orgasmic wonder of Creation together. And every day is a package of golden moments, each one waiting for you to notice and send as a gift to your Twin Flame.

I Am with you. Prepare to be filled with wonder...

Energetics Of A Healthy Relationship
Category: Romance and Relationships

Most of what we know about our relationships we've learn from TV, movies or even romance novels. For many women, the idea they will meet their Prince Charming and live happily ever after is something they are brought up believing is true. As a society, we are lead to believe that one day we will meet the man or woman of our dreams, fall in love, get married, have children and live together forever in an idealist world only found in fairy tails. And for a small number of couple this is the case. For the vast majority of us, once the honeymoon is over, what was once thought to be fun, easy and carefree turns into being work, an aspect of a relationship no one really ever considers. Thus instead of addressing the changes that are taking place in our relationship space, where we need to nurture ourselves and our relationship, we instead find ways of diminishing or destroying it. AGREEMENTS:In a marriage, or any kind of relationship, whether personal or professional, agreements, both spoken and unspoken, are created. For example, at work, we agree to work hard, show up on time and to follow the directives established by the company. In our marriage, we agree to be loving, supportive and faithful. In turn, if someone breaks or violates any of the agreements, we may try to convince ourselves that their bad behavior was ok, but in the end the hurt we experience simply accumulates and over time, we come to the conclusion that enough is enough. Instead of discovering how we can win back our mate's love an approval, we often times go to our own corner, lick our wounded pride and project an attitude of "I can do it without him" or "I don't care". We are taught that pride is a good thing. We are proud of our country, our football teams, our children and our accomplishments. This is the good aspect of pride. It helps us to identify who we are, what we value and helps us create a balanced sense of self. For many of us, however, pride or should I say ego is also mixed with our need to compare ourselves with others. Am I richer, smarter or even better looking than the people around me? Now granted, there are some that are convinced of their superiority over others, but it isn't the overt sense of pride we are talking about here, but instead the kind that works to protect us from ourselves and our self-doubt. THE ENEMY OF LOVE:In a relationship, pride and ego are the enemy of love. Pride, ego and self-esteem are all important aspects of ourselves…yet too much pride can be a bad thing, especially if it means that my needs, my honor, my values come first. This is especially true when we insist that we are right and are unyielding, regardless of the cost to ourselves and others. In the end, no one gets what they want, and neither party is happy.Let's look at a relationship from another perspective – from an energetic perspective. Relationships are about creating a dynamic of give and take or as how many people have heard it described, it should be 50-50. Both parties have to be willing to commit their time and energy into making a relationship work. At first this is easy. When we meet and fall in love, everything is new. It is easy for us to put a great deal of ourselves into the relationship. In addition to wanting to spend time with our new love, we will find ourselves thinking about him or her throughout the day and look forward to the time we will spend together. This is a normal part of the process. As we get to know our significant other, we enjoy the process of opening and deepening the feelings of mental and emotional closeness. We can see and feel ourselves getting closer to our partner and this is one of the best parts about falling in love.
