Don’t underestimate yourself.

You are capable of more than you can ever imagine. When life presses in on you the hardest, that’s when your breakthrough is near. Press on. Don’t stop to think about the work you have to do; just put yourself on auto-pilot.

Hold yourself to a higher standard daily. Your family, friends and co-workers all look to you for their cues. Be mindful to lift the vibration in every room you enter. Treat yourself to a higher belief system. Trust and let go. Greatness is in your DNA. God doesn’t make junk. Each day you have a new chance to develop new ideas, reach for new goals and conquer new mountains. Chase down your dream like it’s the last bus of the night. Go get it! You have something special. You have Greatness within you!!

Love is misunderstood to be an emotion;

actually, it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others. 

Shake off mediocrity !

All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.

Sometimes we focus so much on what we don't have that

we fail to see, appreciate, and use what we do have.

At some point, the illusion breaks down and the opening for the start of the spiritual quest commences.

The quest turns from without to within and the search for answers begins.

When you choose to forgive those who have hurt you,

you take away their power.

It is you who has made the decision about

 what will get you upset, mad, fearful, and depressed.

You cannot transcend what you do not know.

To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.

The Power of Giving

Live full

Zig Ziglar - Attitude Makes All The Difference

The only journey is

the one within

Les Brown - Unwrap Your Infinite Greatness

There’s only one corner of the Universe you can be certain of improving,

 and that’s your own self.

and in the end, the love you take is equal

to the love you make

Don't grieve

 Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Awakening

Happiness is our natural state.

Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs until they have been polluted and contaminated by the stupidity of society and culture. To acquire happiness you don't have to do anything, because happiness cannot be acquired. Does anybody know why? Because we have it already. How can you acquire what you already have? Then why don't you experience it? Because you've got to drop something. You've got to drop illusions. You don't have to add anything in order to be happy; you've got to drop something. Life is easy, life is delightful. It's only hard on your illusions, your ambitions, your greed, your cravings. Do you know where these things come from? From having identified with all kinds of labels!

Russell Brand - The only thing that matters to any of us is Love

If your compassion does not include yourself

it is incomplete

The meaning of your life is to find your gift

The purpose of your life is to give it away

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete,

 everyone will respect you.

Whether one moves slowly or with speed

 The one who is a seeker will be a finder.

There is no peace without

peace within

At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit

or further away from it.

Only the people who have gone beyond the world

can change the world

If you are feeling impatient, some discomfort, restlessness... That is good.

A good change is about to come.

You need to be a good learner before you can become a good teacher

Wisdom comes from understanding the lessons of life.

No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading,

or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.

This moment is

all there is.

It's not who you are that holds you back,

 it's who you think you're not.

Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return

is wasting their time.

Find someone who complements you, not complete you

You need to be complete on your own.

We can understand our lives by looking back,

but we can only live by looking forward

When the word forgiving is mentioned, who comes to your mind?

Who is the person or what is the experience that you feel you will never forget, never forgive? What is it that holds you to the past? When you refuse to forgive, you hold onto the past, and it is impossible for you to be in present time. It is only when you are in the present that you can create your future.

Forgiveness is a gift to yourself. It frees you from the past, past experiences, and past relationships. It allows you to live in the present time. When you forgive yourself and forgive others, you are indeed free. There is a tremendous sense of freedom that comes with forgiveness.

Often you need to forgive yourself for putting up with painful experiences and not loving yourself enough to move away from those experiences. So love yourself, forgive yourself, forgive others and be in the moment. See the old bitterness and the old pain just roll off your shoulders as you let go, and the doors of your heart open wide. When you come from a space of love you are always safe. Forgive everyone. Forgive yourself. Forgive all past experiences. You are free.

Remember, we do not have to know how to forgive. All we have to do is be willing to forgive. The Universe will take care of the how.

Here are some affirmations on forgiveness:

*I move beyond forgiveness to understanding, and I have compassion for all.
*I know that old, negative patterns no longer limit me. I let them go with ease.
*As I forgive myself, it becomes easier to forgive others.
*I forgive everyone in my past for all perceived wrongs. I release them with love.
*I am ready to be healed. I am willing to forgive. All is well.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you

do not go back to sleep

Important encounters are planned by the souls

long before the bodies see each other.

Everything in the universe is within you.

 Ask all from yourself.

The idea of Karma is that

you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart.

The truth is,

unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.

Notice each day whether you are choosing to live in fear or love.

Fear can keep you disconnected from the loving presence inside of you. Causing fear is a tactic of the ego, whether it be your own ego or the world’s ego. The world’s ego is a reflection of individual ego power and the amount of fear that is active. Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God’s divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego’s insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you. Who you really are is that unclouded love.

Here are some ideas for bringing love rather than fear into your life:

• Remind yourself that God created you in perfect love that is changeless and eternal. Your body is changing, as is your mind, so you are not that body or mind. You were created as a spirit that is pure love. That is where you want to keep your attention focused.

• Forgive yourself and welcome love back into your life. When you can do this, a kind of balancing occurs. Rather than atoning for faults with guilt, you are more committed to promoting joy and service. You will begin to do what you originally came here to do.

• Notice the acts of kindness other people do rather than their shortcomings. This is how the loving presence views you. We are all good, decent, loving souls who occasionally get lost. When you can focus on the good in another and hold that in your mind, you are acting from your higher self. This can help dissipate fear and anger.

• Remind yourself of how much you have to give away and of how precious and valuable your giving is. You have the same force running through you that allows the planets to move, the earth to turn, the seeds to sprout, and the flowers to open. There is not a separate God for each person. There is one universal intelligence flowing through all of us.

• Accept that you are enough. When ego begins trying to attract you toward fear, say loudly, “I am enough!” You do not need to be anything you are not. You do not need to prove yourself. You do not need to indulge your ego with fears and to keep your real self at a distance. “I am enough” affirms that you choose to love and chase doubts and fears away.

Love today and always

an ancient spiritual law

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you. 

A mind that is stretched by a new experience

can never go back to its old dimensions

What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

Truth be told, no one has the right to judge you. People may have heard your stories, but they can’t feel what you are going through; they aren’t living your life. So forget what they say about you. Focus on how you feel about yourself, and do what you know in your heart is right.

Take care of yourself. – Your relationship with yourself is the closest and most important relationship you will ever have. If you don’t take good care of yourself, then you can’t take good care of others either; which is why taking care of yourself is the best selfish thing you can do. 

Do what you know is right, for you. – Don’t be scared to walk alone, and don’t be scared to like it. Don’t let anyone’s ignorance, drama, or negativity stop you from being the best you can be. Keep doing what you know in your heart is right for you. Because when you are totally at peace within yourself, nothing can shake you.

Follow your own unique path. – Every new day is a chance to change your life. Work on making life all that you want it to be. Work hard for what you believe, and keep your dreams big and your worries small. You never need to carry more than you can hold; just take it one day at a time. And while you’re out there making decisions instead of excuses, learning new things, and getting closer and closer to your goals, know that there are others out there, like me, who admire your efforts and are striving for greatness too.

Lock yourself away from the world and work on your goals. – Dream big dreams, but realize that short term, realistic goals are the key to success. Success is directly connected with daily action. The way we spend our time defines who we are. Successful people keep moving, by doing small things every day that bring them a couple steps closer to their dream. They make mistakes along the way, but they don’t quit – they learn and press on.

Mirror

There is always a spiritual reason why we draw certain people into our lives who push our buttons. Oftentimes, these people create very challenging situations for us that are not challenging to others. The people who trigger us are part of the “universal mirror” mirroring back to us something within our being that needs to be healed. Keep in mind that no one is an exact mirror of the other person. The best way to discover what is being reflected back to you is to tap into your feeling nature. How does this person make you feel? This is what is being reflected back to you.Perhaps it is an old childhood wound, a distorted belief, a boundary that needs to be set or a behavioral pattern that needs to be corrected. Universal Mirrors require inner excavation and self honesty. They are also reflecting something back to all people involved. Don’t be concerned with what they need to see.Keep your focus on what it is that you need to see so you can evolve your soul into greater states of awareness.

I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know:

the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.
 

Your life, with all its ups and downs, has molded you for the greater good.

Your life has been exactly what it needed to be. Don’t think you’ve lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the current moment. And every moment of your life, including this one right now, is a fresh start.
 

The love you feel for others

is nothing but a reflection of the love you feel for yourself.

We are in this world

but we are not of this world.

 

I don’t know if anybody can swallow the Truth.

You can only be swallowed up by Truth.

 

Isn't it time to turn your heart

into a temple of fire?

Open your arms

if you want the Beloved's embrace

When I chased after money, I never had enough.

When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.

I release the need to determine how things "should" be.

If you are suffering in your life right now, I guarantee that this condition is tied up with some kind of attachment to how you think things should be going.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man

True nobility is being superior to your former self

Our entire life consists ultimately of accepting ourselves

as we are

Don't allow your wounds to transform you into

someone you are not

Happiness comes from within.

It is not dependent on external things or on other people. You become vulnerable and can be easily hurt when your feelings of security and happiness depend on the behavior and actions of other people. Never give your power to anyone else.

Once you conquer your selfish self

all your darkness will change to light.

Two things you will never have to chase

True friends and true love.

Holding on to anything is like holding on to your breath.

You will suffocate. The only way to get anything in the physical universe is by letting go of it. Let go and it will be yours forever.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

You transform all those

who are touched by You.

All that I have seen teaches me

to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

Simplicity, patience, compassion.

These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
 
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.

 

When we commit our lives to the service of our deep soul purpose

we can never go back to life as we knew it

This whole universe is

but a drop of His Beauty

love & gratitude

LOVE BEGINS WITH YOU: Your inner voice is where your story of love begins: It is hard to feel worthy of love if someone is criticizing you all the time and especially if that someone is talking in your head. Stop self-loathing; it’s a waste of time. Stop comparing yourself to others and feeling like a victim. Dare to be proud of yourself, look for your strengths, watch for the negative talk and stop it.

GRATITUDE REFLECTION: Like any muscle, the heart get stronger with exercise. Gratitude reflection is a great exercise for opening the heart. Take two minutes each morning when you open your eyes and two minutes each night right before you close them to give thanks. Just go through the list of all the things you are grateful for—beginning with your ability to feel gratitude for the job that gets you out of bed each morning.

DECLARE LOVE: Give passion to everything in your life. Love your walks, your gardening, your age, the family you created, the weather patterns where you live. See through a child’s eyes. Be thrilled and excited about life. Find miracles everywhere. Use the word love more often when describing aspects of your life.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters

compared to what lies within us

If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations.

                         If there is to be peace in the nations,
                         There must be peace in the cities.

                         If there is to be peace in the cities,
                         There must be peace between neighbors.

                         If there is to be peace between neighbors, 
                         There must be peace in the home.

                         If there is to be peace in the home,
                         There must be peace in the heart.      

Strong people don't put others down

They lift them up

love

When weakness is cleared from your heart

your prayer will reach the glorious Beloved.

Although I may try to describe Love

When I experience it, I am speechless.

Don’t ask what Love can make or do

                            Look at the colors of the world.
 

Any power that comes through us

 is You

Nil Desperandum

  

Seeing Beyond the Human Eye

You have to take risks

We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

The ego cannot survive

without judgment

Every single thing that has ever happened in your life

is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come

Mahatma Gandhi

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior.
Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits.
Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.

You will know when a relationship is right for you.

                 It will enhance your life, not complicate your life.

If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself.

If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams

and you will always look lovely.

Putting love first means knowing that the universe supports you in creating the good, the holy, and the beautiful.

 

It means knowing that you're on the earth for a purpose, and that purpose itself will create opportunities for its accomplishment. 

Your sacred space is

                    where you can find yourself again and again

Every thought you hold serves to either expand or contract your consciousness.

 

 There is no neutral. So choose wisely!

When you trust in yourself

you trust in the wisdom that created you.
 

When your inner dependency on form is gone, the outer forms tend to improve greatly.

Things, people, or conditions that you thought you needed for your happiness now come to you with no struggle or effort on your part, and you are free to enjoy and appreciate them.

Be kind and honest,

 and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

If you expect respect from others, show it first to yourself.

You can't expect from others what you don't give to yourself.

Your heart is where your treasure is

and you must find your treasure in order to make sense of everything.

At a distance you only see my Light

Come closer and know that I am You.

Those with open hearts

always have open hands.

True peace is not merely the absence of tension / war

it is the presence of justice.

Patience is not the ability to wait

but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.

You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.

We cannot see outside

what we are not inside.

inner transformation

 

You cannot experience the world as something real, but only being experienced by it when you get lost - when you forget - when you believe it to be a separate reality. You asked to go in the world and conquer it, but remember! The world is not a geographical place. The world is a state of being. And as such you only, through an inner transformation, can win and change it.              

Nobody will ever have the power to heal you

like yourself.

If you want to know the secret to getting everything you have ever wanted

you should learn to give.

You are like a magnet

 

             You attract to yourself reflections of that which you are.

You don't need to justify your love

You don't need to explain your love, you just need to practice your love. Practice creates the master. 

Whatever you do may seem insignificant

but it is most important that you do it.

In Liberation, you stand alone.

You stand alone because you need no supports of any kind. You need no supports because you have realized that the very notion of a separate you no longer exists; that there is nothing to support; that the whole ego experience was a flimsy illusion. So you stand alone but never, never lonely because everywhere you look, all you see is That, and You are That.

Love is a symbol of eternity.

It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.

Do not look back, my friend

                    No one knows how the world ever began.
                    Do not fear the future, nothing lasts forever.
                    If you dwell on the past or the future
                    you will miss the moment.

The souls of all friends of God

are connected with one another.
 

Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment.

 

                  There is a hidden meaning behind all events,
           and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.

Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment,

 

and being love is the supreme creative act.

You will only find the happiness you seek

when you drop your negative attitude towards life.

Tennessee Williams

 

Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see each other in life. Vanity, fear, desire, competition-- all such distortions within our own egos-- condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other. That's how it is in all living relationships except when there is that rare case of two people who love intensely enough to burn through all those layers of opacity and see each other's naked hearts. 

To know oneself is to know all that is worth knowing

and to missself-knowledge is to miss all.
A man may know everything in the world;
but if he does not know himself, he is utterly ignorant.  

Musical Intelligence

Singers, composers and musicians usually possess this kind of intelligence. Such ‘musical smart’ persons can appreciate and produce perfect timbre, rhythm and pitch. Become the musical virtuoso you aspire to be by training your mental faculties with these methods:

1) Sing!

You might think singing doesn’t like you, but it does not mean that you should not sing to your heart’s content! Sing whenever you can: in the shower, in the car, even in the office pantry during break time! While you might not be able to hit the high notes just like your favorite singers, singing constantly is a great way for you to perfect your music smarts.

2) Learn how to play an instrument.

This is perhaps the best thing you can do in order to hone your musical intelligence. Studying an instrument – no matter how simple or complicated it might be – enables you to learn the basic tones, rhythms and pitches. And as you improve your instrument-playing capacities, you will be able to demonstrate the music smarts that your idols possess.

3) Listen to different types of music.

Musical intelligence is not just about singing well and playing a plethora of instruments, it is about appreciating the beauty of music – no matter how peculiar or weird it might be. Hone your music smarts by lending an ear to different kinds of symphonies – from classic to pop, even from native to eclectic. By immersing your ears in multitudes of melodies, you will be able to distinguish the different tones that govern the world of music.

How To Attract A Loving Relationship / Attract love through intention

You must be that which you desire. There’s no point whatsoever in an unloving man or woman bemoaning their inability to find a partner. They’re doomed to endless frustration because they don’t recognize the perfect match when it appears. That loving person could be right there, right now, and their resistance doesn’t allow them to see it. The unloving person continues to blame bad luck or a series of external factors for their not having a loving relationship.

How To Attract Love To Your Life

Love can only be attracted by and returned by love. The best advice I can give for attracting and maintaining spiritual partnerships is to be what it is that you are seeking. Most relationships that fail to sustain themselves are based on one or both of the partners feeling as if their freedom has been compromised in some way. Spiritual partnerships, on the other hand, are never about making another person feel inferior or ignored in any way. The term spiritual partnership simply means that the energy holding the two of you together is in close harmony with the Source energy of intention.

 Using Intention To Attract The Relationship You Want

This means that an allowing philosophy flows through the partnership, and you need never fear that your freedom to fulfill your own inner knowing about your purpose is questioned. It’s as if each person has whispered silently to the other, You are Source energy in a physical body, and the better you feel, the more of this loving, kind, beautiful, receptive, abundant, expanding, and creative energy is flowing through you. I respect this Source energy, and I share it with you as well. When either of us feels downhearted, there’s less of this energy of intention flowing. We must always remember that nothing is disallowed by the universal mind. Whatever is not allowing us to be happy is being disallowed by us. I’m committed to staying in this energy field of intention and watching myself whenever I slip. It’s that very Source that brought us together, and I’ll work to stay in harmony with it.

 Affirm That Love is On Its Way

Mystically speaking, there’s no difference between you and another person. A weird concept, perhaps, but nevertheless valid. This explains why you can’t hurt another person without hurting yourself, nor can you help another person without helping yourself. You share the same Source energy with everyone, and consequently, you must begin to think and act in a way that reflects your awareness of this principle. When you feel the need to have the right person show up, begin to change your inner dialogue to reflect this awareness. Rather than saying, "I wish this person would show up because I need to get out of this rut" activate a thought that reflects your connection, such as: I know the right person will be arriving in divine order at precisely the perfect time.

 Loving Yourself First

If a friendship or partnership requires the submission of your higher original nature and dignity, it’s simply wrong. When you truly know what it is to love, as you’re loved by your Source, you won’t experience the kind of pain you did in the past when your love was unnoticed or rejected. It will, instead, be similar to how a friend described her experience of choosing to leave a relationship: “My heart was broken, but it felt like it was stuck in the open position. I felt love flowing toward this person who couldn’t love me the way I wanted to be loved, even as I left that relationship to seek the love I felt inside of me. It was strange to feel the pain of my broken heart. And at the same time feel its openness. I kept thinking, My heart’s broken, but it’s broken open. I shifted to an entirely new level of loving and being loved. The relationship I’d dreamed of having manifested 18 months later!”

You are love. You emanated from pure love. You’re connected to this Source of love at all times. Think this way, feel this way, and you’ll soon act this way. And all that you think, feel, and do will be reciprocated in exactly the same fashion. Believe it or not, this principle of the right person showing up has been in place forever. It’s only your ego that’s kept you from seeing it clearly.

Today's affirmation

I know the right person will be arriving in divine order at precisely the perfect time.

Whatever I glance at

I see You.

Get in touch with yourself

Listen to what resonates with yourself, your inner guide, your intuition. If it insults the soul, get rid of it.

The activated third eye can see beyond the veils.

The Third Eye is the centre of the spiritual and multidimensional vision that can see into other realms.
When awakened, it is the centre of psychic abilities, telepathy, higher intuition, non- physical vision and clear thinking.
 

I am realistic

I expect miracles.

Every act of unconditional love

echoes in eternity.

Always check your inner state

with the lord of your heart.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Everything in your life, every experience, every relationship

is a mirror of the mental pattern that is going on inside of you.

The doors will be opened to those

who are bold enough to knock

Truth is not something outside to be discovered

it is something inside to be realized.

One heart with courage is a majority

Love sewed us securely together

We owe nothing to the needle and thread.    

humanity always wins

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone, if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness — not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another.
 
In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hardand unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world — millions of despairing men, women and little children — victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say — do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed — the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people and so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes — men who despise you — enslave you — who regiment your lives — tell you what to do — what to think or what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men — machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate! Only the unloved hate — the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the 17th Chapter of St. Luke it is written: "the Kingdom of God is within man" — not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power — the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power! Let us all unite! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth the future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie! They do not fulfill their promise; they never will. Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people! Now, let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

Soldiers! In the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Sell your cleverness

and buy bewilderment.

Nothing has power over you

unless you allow it.

you attract what you are

You can't expect to draw people into your life who are kind, confident, and generous if you're thinking and acting in cruel, weak, and selfish ways. You must be what it is that you're seeking--that is, you need to put forth what you want to attract.

I am yours

 Dont give myself back to me

once you awaken

you will have no interest in judging those who sleep

Never underestimate your ability

to make someone else’s life better

know yourself

There's a basket full of loaves on your head,
yet you're begging for crusts of bread from door to door.
Pay attention to your own head, abandon giddiness.
Why are you knocking at every other door?
Go, knock at the door of your own heart.

There is a soul within the soul.

Seek it out.

All doubt, despair, and fear become insignificant

once the intention of life becomes love

In every religion there is love

 yet love has no religion.  

I intend to take time for myself

to live the life that I came here to live.

Life sometimes separates people

so that they can realize how much they mean to each other

When we care for others our own strength to live increases.

When we help people expand their state of life, our lives also expand. Actions to benefit others are not separate from actions to benefit oneself. Our lives and the lives of others are ultimately inseparable

I only know that the first time is accidental

The second time is inevitable. And the third time is fated.

No one else knows you

 Since you are I, I know you.

Inside a lover’s heart,

there’s another world,
and yet another.

Normal is an illusion.

What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.

Sometimes you have to die a little on the inside first

 in order to be reborn and rise again as a stronger, smarter version of yourself.

The awakened one sees life as a miracle

The unawakened one looks for a miracle in life

It is not possible for any thinking person to live in such a society as our own

without wanting to change it

You can never see the solution

until you see the problem

God made the illusion look real

and the real an illusion

Love is a travel.

All travelers whether they want or not are changed. No one can travel into love and remain the same.

I don’t know why

When I look at You, I see myself.

The beauty you see in me

is a reflection of you.

Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons. Relationships must be chosen wisely.

It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company. There’s no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen- in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason.

Your talent is God’s gift to you.

What you do with it is your gift back to God.

When you fight to cling to people who are no longer meant to be in your life,

 you delay your destiny. Let them go.

Ancient lovers believed a kiss would literally unite their souls

because the spirit was said to be carried in one's breath.

Surely there is a window from Heart to Heart

They are not separate or far from each other.
 

There is nothing more truly artistic than

to love people.

If you want to hold more light, you should become less dense

When you become a greater expression of light, you attract your twin flame. It is the likeness of hearts drawn together by cosmic law.
 

Abundance is a process of letting go

That which is empty can receive. 

29.10.1923 It's amazing that a man who is dead can talk to people through his ideas

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die
Thomas Campbell

Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
Terry Pratchett

The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal. 
Cicero

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death,if he can live after he's died, then maybe he was a great man. Immortality is the only true success. 
James Dean

I want to change the world, and do something valuable and beautiful. I want people to remember me before I'm dead, and then more afterwards.
Russell Brand

Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality. 
Dalai Lama XIV

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.
Mitch Albom

Oh how wrong we were to think immortality meant never dying. 
Gerard Way

It is good to love many things

for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.

However distasteful is the bitterness of patience

 

it will eventually taste delicious.

Except for Love

nothing you see will remain forever

What draws lovers together

does not conform to the laws of nature

Whoever brought me here

 will have to take me home

The whole world is a form for truth.

When someone does not feel grateful to that,
the forms appear to be as he feels.
They mirror his anger, his greed, and his fear.
Make peace with the universe.

Lift your veil, so I may see your face

Part the clouds, so I may see the moon.
Scatter your hair, so I may sense your fragrance.
Part your lips, so I may kiss your breath

You came suddenly shook me from my sleep and vanished.

In my heart you rose like the moon
but as I glanced at you, you disappeared.
Having had a glimpse of Your garden,
I have no more the patience to endure my existence

The earth turns to gold

 in the hands of the wise.

What a miracle, You and I

Entwined in the same nest;
What a miracle,
You and I: one Love,
One Lover, one Fire,
In this world and the next,
In an ecstasy without end.

I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love.

Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars.
You have been hiding so long,
endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest.
I am life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.

Charge me with your glance

so my eyes can shine with your Love.
 

This world and that world are forever giving birth

Every cause is a mother; the effect is born as a child.
When the effect was born, it too became a cause,
so that it might give birth to wondrous effects.
These causes follow generation upon generation,
but it takes a very well-illuminated eye
to see all the links in the chain.

You are every image

yet I am homesick for You

Look into me

for I am the light in your eyes.

Music

is the language of God.

Don't plant anything but love

you show your worth by what you seek.   

I hope you do not intend to be unkind to my heart, for if you do

Woe unto my Heart!
Woe unto my Heart!
Woe unto my Heart!
Woe unto my Heart!

In the orchard and rose garden

I long to see your face.
In the taste of sweetness
I long to kiss your lips.
In the shadows of passion
I long for your LOVE.

Don't stray

from your heart's intent

I don't get tired of you

Don't grow weary of being compassionate toward me

The difference between an optimist and a pessimist?

 An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh.

The difference between school and life?

In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

Never be ashamed of a scar.

It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you

Sometimes the only people who truly understand where you come from

are those who have been there too.

Pass beyond your tears

and you will see the broken-hearted lovers are the lords in heaven.  

I don't care that they stole my idea

I care that they don't have any of their own.

The holistic philosophy is to nurture and nourish the entire being — the Body, the Mind, and the Spirit.

If we ignore any of these areas, we are incomplete; we lack wholeness. It doesn’t matter where we start as long as we also include the other areas.

 

Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments,

and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.

 

But the female mind has demonstrated a capacity for all the mental acquirements and achievements of men

and as generations ensue that capacity will be expanded; the average woman will be as well educated as the average man, and then better educated, for the dormant faculties of her brain will be stimulated to an activity that will be all the more intense and powerful because of centuries of repose. Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress.

 

RIP Tesla ...a wonderful hu-man

If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.

 

Though free to think and act,

we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them.

 

Aloneness is the joy of being just yourself.

It is being joyous with yourself, it is enjoying your own company. There are very few people who enjoy their own company. And it is a very strange world: nobody enjoys his company and everybody wants others to enjoy his company! If they don't enjoy, he feels insulted -- and alone he feels disgusted with himself. In fact, if you cannot enjoy your own company, who else is going to enjoy it? 

When you fall asleep

you go from the presence of yourself
into your own true presence.

The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me

My eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing,
one love.

Bondage is none other than seeing the world through

the camouflage of pre-conceived ideas, notions, expectations, interpretations, labels, descriptions, definitions, evaluations, analyses, and ultimately with judgment. If you could see the world without judgment, you would see it as a child - fresh, with infinite possibilities all contained in an Eternal continuum.     

See the world as if for the first time; see it through the eyes of a child

and you suddenly find that you are free.

Time is just Nature's way of preventing us

from experiencing everything all at once.

There is no such thing as linear time

Linear time is a purely psychological event in a Universe where all time happens at once.

We are reminded of our strength and faith when we don't know the way and yet continue to move forward.

And when we stay on this path, something magical begins to happen.We are reminded that we are not alone.We are reminded that we are always loved. And we are reminded that taking this leap is the most important thing we ever did.

Choose the positive

You have choice - you are master of your attitude - choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.

Love generates

love

The whole world is a series of miracles

but we're so used to them we call them ordinary things.

Autumn is a second spring

 

when every leaf is a flower

Happiness is being kind.

 

Did you know that kindness is a natural antidepressant? It’s true. Being kind is a scientifically proven way to improve your spirits. So if you would like to instantly feel better about yourself and change any negative feelings to positive ones all you need to do is be kind to another human being.

 In his bestselling book, The Power of Intention, Dr. Wayne Dyer sites research that an act of kindness increases the serotonin levels in your brain. Serotonin is a natural chemical in your body that is responsible for improving mood. Many of the antidepressant medications on the market today work by enhancing the body’s utilization of serotonin. According to Dr. Dyer, however, science has discovered that an act of kindness will increase the release of serotonin in your brain without the need for medication.

 
The interesting conclusions found are that serotonin levels are increased in both the giver and receiver of an act of kindness. In addition, anyone who witnesses an act of kindness also has an increase in serotonin levels.Kindness is a natural antidepressant for the giver, receiver, and witness of human compassion.
