each one of us is the sum total of every moment that we ever experienced. With all the people we've ever known. and it's these moments that become our history. Our own greatest hits of memories that we can go back on and play and replay in our minds over and over again.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. — J.R.R Tolkien

Every person's true identity is beautiful, and much of the ugliness we observe in others was put inside of them by external influences. We all know the true beauty of people everywhere, because we have all looked into the eyes of children, and saw ourselves looking back. When someone is suffering, there is a deep, visceral reaction in the core of our being, a flood of empathy and a frightfully desperate compulsion to give aid. When we see a person in physical crisis laying with a broken body and their blood pouring out, our deepest, most urgent instinct is to rush to them, and put our hands upon their wounds and comfort them. When someone is emotionally upset and crying, nothing is right in our own world. Our truest nature is to be helpful to others, and to protect and love them. We care about people, and delight in seeing others happy and safe.

Keep moving! You may be tired, fired, burnt out and don't feel like it...but keep moving! You may have stacks of bills and may be stressed out about how to pay them....but keep moving! You may have drama or trauma in your life...relationships...children...or career....but keep moving. Someone you care deeply about may be ill or declining in health. It is their journey. You are here to love, support and/or accompany them...not to become them...so keep moving! Life may hand you a set of keys that won't open any doors. Crawl out a window...and keep moving! You will get past this moment. You will feel stronger and more hopeful than you are now. Resolve that you can and that you will do this. Just keep moving!! You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!!

Live your truth. Most people go through life living a lie ~ pretending to be someone they're not, and they are miserable. Live your truth. You only have one life to live. Live it your way. If family or friends don't approve - that's their problem. Don't make it yours. What people think of you is none of your business. To thine own self be true. Being yourself unblocks your energy. It frees you up. It allows you to live from your power. The world is waiting for you. It's time to be you!

Imagine being on your death bed, and standing around you is the ghost of the dreams, the ideas, the abilities, the talents given to you by life..That you for whatever reason, you never went after that dream. You never acted on those ideas. You never used them talents. You never used those gifts; and there they are standing beside your bed, looking at YOU with large, angry eyes saying we came to you and only you could have given us life!.. And now..we must die with you forever.

Don't let anyone steal your dream! The world is full of dream killers - people whose sole mission in life is to sabotage you and your dream. They look for ways to crush your energy and deaden your life force by highlighting uncertainty, reminding you of what you don't have or what you may need. They point out weaknesses, mistakes, setbacks and past losses when you turn to them for encouragement. Sometimes dream killers appear in the faces of people closest to you and other times they whisper and hide out in the deep recesses of your own mind. Safeguard your mind. Preserve your energy. Don't answer them or entertain their conversations. Leave them alone! Say to yourself over and over again...I got this! I was born to win. Keep moving toward your dream and imagine the feeling of having accomplished your dream. Remember above all, don't let anyone steal your dream. You can make it happen. You deserve to win. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!

Have you ever had a door of opportunity slam in your face? A job application...that you did not get; a loan...that was turned down; a friendship or relationship...that ended; a proposal...where the answer was no. When this happens in pursuit of your dream, don't focus on the closed door. Crawl through a window or tear a hole in the roof! Step back and do an assessment. What happened? What did you discover about yourself? What do you need to do? Who must you become to move forward in your life? Whatever you do...don't give up simply because it becomes challenging. Don't ask for life to make it easier for you to reach your goals. Make the decision to become a better person in order to accomplish your goals. Believe this - there will be other doors and more opportunities. Know that you will be stronger, wiser, more capable and better prepared to take advantage of them, because of what you have discovered about yourself, and how you have changed in the process. You Deserve!!

It's hard...it's hard changing your life. It's hard picking up the pieces and starting all over again. It's hard getting your mind together after you've gone through a life shaking experience (being a primary caregiver for someone; hearing a diagnosis you didn't want; starting over again from a loss of any kind; being alone in a new place; wanting a friend.) But you can do hard. You can weather the storm. You will come through this. Affirm to yourself every day ~ several times a day. No matter how hard it gets...I'm going to make it!! Stand up inside yourself and look yourself in the eyes..and say "I can do hard!!" Exercise, pray, seek solitude, allow for periods of sadness...but know that you will get through this. Keep the faith; continue to work; and expect to make it through. You may not be able to change your circumstances or situation...but, you can change yourself! Hold on. You can do hard! You have GREATNESS within you!!

In order to live your dream, you have to WAKE UP! Most people are sleep-walking through life, never becoming aware of why they are here and what they are supposed to do. WAKE UP to your dream! Don't just accept life as it has been given to you. Jump out of your comfort zone. Act decisively to create a life you love and will give you a sense of fulfillment. WAKE UP! Drink deeply from the cup of knowledge, wisdom, silence and spirituality. Connect to the alarm clock of life and WAKE UP to your dream! You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!

Shut down the drama in your life. It's unhealthy. Arguing and fighting creates dis-ease. Stay away from negative, selfish, energy-draining relationships that do not honor you, or even worse ~ use you, abuse you and take advantage of your kindness. Don't buy into their negativity or guilt trips. Resolve to live in peace. Don't attempt to change others. There's enough work to do on yourself. Develop relationships where all parties can grow. Create an atmosphere of mutual respect, love and appreciation. Free yourself from inner chaos by meditation, relaxation, and stillness. What you create inside of yourself will manifest outside yourself. Create a sanctuary where you can live in peace, relax your mind, revive your spirit and renew your purpose. You Deserve!

Blind Certainty: A close-mindedness that amounts to an imprisonment so total that the prisoner doesn't even know he's locked up.

David Foster Wallace

If it's not one thing...then it's another. At times, it seems that every turn is the wrong one, and nothing is going your way. This is the time to practice patience, faith and determination. The job you lost will be replaced by a career or business that you are passionate about. The person who is no longer a part of your life has made room for someone else who will truly love and respect you. If it's not one thing... then it's another. Perseverance, drive and moving forward with a positive mindset will help you to survive the storms of life. For now, focus on the bright side. The sun will shine on you again and you will be stronger for going through the storm. One day you'll look back, appreciate the wisdom you gained and the person you became because of these experiences. You have something special.

You can choose to ignore the people who have more to say about your life than their own. FORGET THEM! Learn to live beyond the good opinions of others. What other people think about you is none of your business! You have a purpose to fulfill, great work to do...that only you can accomplish! Remember...someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!

There was nothing you could do, so you accepted it. and suddenly there was a strange feeling that everything was absolutely clear. You suddenly see that there isn't a grain of dust in the entire universe that's in the wrong place. That you understand, completely, absolutely totally what its all about. So that from your stand point, in that position, at that time.. You would say i wouldn't have missed that opportunity for the world. Now i understand.

Alan Watts

[illmeetyouinanotherlife]

so afraid that you won't make it, that you grab it too hard. That you just have to have that thing..and if you do that, you destroy it completely. And after every attempt to get it, you feel disappointed. You feel empty, you feel something was lost. and therefore you want it again. You have to keep repeating, repeating, repeating because you never really got there. And it's this that is the hang up! This is what is meant by having attachment to this world in an evil sense. But on the other hand, pleasure in its fullness cannot be experienced when someone is grasping it.

Arm yourself with courage today to face the challenges in your life. You will not defeat everything that you face, but nothing is defeated until it is faced. Don't let the feelings of fear, uncertainty and discomfort stop you from making tough decisions. Get out of bed. Turn off the television. Stop wasting time listening to negative conversations, including your own. Limit your distractions. Cancel your pity party. Pull yourself together and take total ownership for everything in your life. Don't waste your energy or take up space in your mind by blaming others or expecting them to rescue you. You are the knight in shining armor. You hold the key to unlocking your new future. It doesn't matter how many times you have been knocked down. What matters most is that you continue to get back up. It's time to get it on and move your life forward by taking your power back. Place all bets on you and get busy! You deserve more...much, much more! You have GREATNESS within you!!
