TEN TOP OPPORTUNITIES TO LIVE AND LEARN

1. Let you heart rule your head. The turmoil which ensues will spin your life turtle. Let it! Then find your head on your shoulders thereafter each time and every time.

2. Let a blunder rake and rile you for a chosen period of time [limited], feel the harm it does and then forgive yourself and go on to honor your better self.

3. Let the fear of being disliked hamper and stunt the quality of thought, word and deed. Then pack up fear with no ceremony and start to think, speak and do freely as you believe.

4. Let the discomfort of confrontation hijack and gag the need to know the truth then pluck the courage and face the fiends. Vapour is the natures of demons, a wave of intend is all that is required to push forward.

5. Let persons belittle you for love and misplaced loyalty then silently move out of reach and make room for precious thoughts which uplift and guide actions of love.

6. Let people manipulate and distort facts in order that you act in response in a certain way then choose to be true to yourself and think for yourself.

7. Let the need to be loved lead to actions your instincts disagree with. Then feel the freedom of not having to try to be loved and know that to be loved is not earned its just there.

8. Let peoples opinion rule your choice, words and thoughts and then move on to become independent of validation of another. Listen to your inner voice, it leads and comforts like no other.

9. Let noise be your screen and defense and then visit the silence of your spirit, never to return to the din for here lays your integrity.

10. Let you treat yourself harshly. This is a hard one to see. Cause it’s too close for comfort. Sometimes a lifetime passes before you can see, believe and act in your interest. Don’t let that be the case with you. Treating yourself with love, care and respect is the key to doing the same for others.

Love always,

LOVE RESIDES

It’s natural to miss those you love and it’s likely you’ll have extreme dislike for persons who or circumstances which you THINK take them away from you.

A WELL OF LOVE RESIDES WITHIN

It takes all my strength to keep my negative thoughts and feelings at the same intensity level over a period of time.

Automatically, after the initial shock and resulting feelings so distasteful and horrible in creeps the doubt that may be this is not the path for me.

Latched on to that doubt in comes an affirmative vibe from a modest thought.

Leading me swiftly from the pits of disapproval to the heights of belief where serenity reigns.

I open the doors and receive for I get my high from feeling good in my skin.

CHOOSE THE PATH OF KINDNESS

Imagination is a versatile passion to have.
It opens doors and lets one fly in territories limited only by one’s thoughts.

Breathtaking isn’t it? Those with an imagination create solutions and are so never without hope.

Problems and hurdles are mere rungs of the ladder used to effect change and put into perspective the world and times we live in.

Imagine a kind word as a balm soothing one’s feelings and harnessing ones emotions to supply for the need and requirement of that time.

Empathy is a powerful instrument to give hope in word, deed and action.
Do not do what another should do for oneself; rather help one help one self.

Instead, teach a method, enhance a skill, kindle a latent flame of creativity, show the torch in the direction of inner strength, and walk along with only till steps steady.
Then step back. Remove ego from all equations involving giving.

It is not you that gives but rather you are blessed to be able to give.
Only the blessed have the opportunity to give. In fact you show them the power they have and watch them grow.

Watch from afar without the colour of the desire to be recognized and praised.

Bighearted is actually just a liberal and understanding line of thinking.

Love always

A Secure Ladder

I cannot see all the way, no worries.

I can see the now. I live in it, I know it!

Whilst I accomplish the now I believe and I trust.

I have faith the next step will illuminate and be clear for me to act upon in time.

Do be sure to welcome and cultivate only the thoughts that make you stronger.

Rewarding attitudes come from a series of small healthy choices.

This series builds a stronghold and a premise for growth.

Growth means change sometimes drastic, sometimes an adaptation. Other times a shift in perspective works wonders.

A requisite of success is the ability to transform old thinking and rethink innovation.

Build with whatever you receive plenty of. In other words I built with the ‘no’ ‘nay’ ‘maybe’ ‘won’t be’ ‘can’t be’ ‘how can’ and ‘never’.

All these are more potent with opportunity for success than any constant ‘Yes’ would be.

In a lighter vein, how convenient it is to use the bricks thrown at you. You eliminate the cost of purchase and transport.

If you can make constructive light of your situation you will never be at a loss.

Humor and laughter breeds the genius of the human mind to overcome and succeed.

Opportunity – Misfortune. Same difference!

At any given time growth and success are not restricted to one area in your life.

So, it helps if you don’t see it as such.

Look to the bigger picture.

You will realize that what looks like a failure from near.

Is actually, if you step back the black outline which adds the well needed definition to the tapestry your life.

Trust so as to know, according to what is needed in terms of the when and how.

It will be done, without fail.

Do you see change of course as failure?

I see it as an opportunity to learn.

It maybe a new skill, a new perspective, or time to make real your potential to the fullest extends.

How do I know this, you may ask?

I saw my mother treat misfortune {as others observed it} as opportunity each time and every time.

No matter the circumstance or the demand. As long as this was her approach she succeeded.

This I accepted in my being long before I developed the eye to the wisdom of it.

So I applied it without analysis.

Today I read the success mantra of guru’s.

I am happy to find it’s the same wisdom.

What a terrific platform to move forward on. Isn’t It? Lucky me!

The Spark

Tasks carried out in a spirit of humility.

Gives the 'I' monster [ego] a peaceful burial.

Leaving one refreshed and happy, lighter in mind and spirit.
Energy returns to where it rightly belongs.

That is to the task at hand. You are now truly in charge.
You are the CEO [Constructive Energy Output ]

Team work is especially enjoyable in such an atmosphere.
It motivates and honors the players.

They are richer for the experience of working with a true leader.
Strength and determination tempered with love satisfies the core of human spirit.

Control is an illusion.It destroys the very fabric of peace in which the human soul flourishes.

Live and Learn

Make everything you do your own by bring yourself completely to it in the moment.

No matter how mundane.Actually its the mundane tasks that have the potential to be the most fulfilling when done with creativity.

Mistakes are OK so long as you don't make the mistake of giving up.

The reward is in the doing not in the end result expectation.
Cultivate the ability to never stop,
slow down - yes,
deviate - maybe ,
but stop NEVER.

Roll with the punches.
Grow with every 'NO'
