It's Never Too Late to Change
At any time, you can decide to change the road you're on in life, take a new direction, follow a new trail. You are the only one who really knows what you want from life and if you're on the right road for you. You are the only one who can fulfill your dreams and receive the joys and happiness that come from reaching those aspirations and goals.
Don't expect others to be responsible for your happiness and your success. You must take control and be in charge of your destiny and day-to-day situations. Take advice (most of the time it's free) and listen to what others have to say and what concerns they have; it's important to have different points of view. But always validate those words of wisdom with your own set of standards and make sure that the advice has meaning to your sense of reality.
You must understand yourself enough to know what you want in life and what desires you believe are worthwhile for your future. You need to depend upon yourself and your talents. Appreciate others for their personal skills and abilities, but always continue to focus on your own strengths and energies. Life is much too short to spend it worrying about someone else's accomplishments or expecting someone else to be responsible for making your life better.
If you have dreams, then you have a purpose. You have something to believe in and work towards obtaining. Dedicate yourself to yourself. Promise yourself a life filled with love, and then whatever roads you travel will be the roads you want them to be.
Born With Love
When we were born, we were programmed perfectly. We had a natural tendency to focus on love. Our imaginations were creative and flourishing, and we knew how to use them. We were connected to a world much richer than the one we connect to now, a world full of enchantment and a sense of the miraculous.
So what happened? Why is it that we reached a certain age, looked around, and the enchantment was gone?
Because we were taught to focus elsewhere. We were taught to focus elsewhere. We were taught to think unnaturally. We were taught a very bad philosophy, a way of looking at the world that contradicts who we are.
We were taught to think thoughts like competition, struggle, sickness, finite resources, limitation, guilt, bad, death, scarcity, and loss. We began to think these things, and so we began to know them. We were taught that things like grades, being good enough, money, and doing things the right way, are more important than love. We were taught that we're separate from other people, that we have to compete to get ahead, that we're not quite good enough the way we are. We were taught to see the world the way that others had come to see it. It's as though, as soon as we got here, we were given a sleeping pill. The thinking of the world, which is not based on love, began pounding in our ears the moment we hit shore.
Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment, or unlearning, of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.
Meaning doesn't lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren't love -- the money, the car, the house, the prestige -- we are loving things that can't love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless. Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing. It's not that they're bad. It's that they're nothing.
We came here to co-create with God by extending love. Life spent with any other purpose in mind is meaningless, contrary to our nature, and ultimately painful. It's as though we've been lost in a dark, parallel universe where things are loved more than people. We overvalue what we perceive with our physical senses, and undervalue what we know to be true in our hearts.
Love isn't material. It's energy. It's the feeling in a room, a situation, a person. Money can't buy it. Sex doesn't guarantee it. It has nothing at all to do with the physical world, but it can be expressed nonetheless. We experience it as kindness, giving, mercy, compassion, peace, joy, acceptance, non-judgment, joining, and intimacy.
Fear is our shared lovelessness, our individual and collective hells. It's a world that seems to press on us from within and without, giving constant false testimony to the meaninglessness of love. When fear is expressed, we recognize it as anger, abuse, disease, pain, greed, addiction, selfishness, obsession, corruption, violence, and war.
Love is hidden within us. It cannot be destroyed, but can only be hidden. The world we knew as children is still buried within our minds.

When you move your focus from competition to contribution life becomes a celebration. Never try to defeat people, just win their hearts.
Liora
True transcendence from lower vibratory blocked energy occurs when we recognise the core emotional patterns and change them vibrationally at the deepest SOUL level . Within this process of deep pattern shifting, we awaken to our true authentic SELF .The Heart now opens to pure Divine Unconditional Love.
Apache prayer
Looking behind I am filled with gratitude
Looking forward I am filled with vision
Looking upwards I am filled with strength
Looking within I discover peace.
Looking forward I am filled with vision
Looking upwards I am filled with strength
Looking within I discover peace.

OSHO
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny -- he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally -- you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.

The whole existence is a temple...the trees are continuously in worship, the clouds are in prayer and the mountains are in meditation.

Not the ones speaking the same language,
but the ones sharing the same feeling
understand each other.

Wayne Dyer
My mind is at peace.
A mind at peace, a mind focused on not harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in every being.
That is the way to live in this world.
That is the way to live in this world.
Karen Kostyla
Even when you are miles away, if you love someone more then anything, you can feel them when you close your eyes as if your souls are together as one.

The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly
persistent illusion.

Albert Einstein
Anyone who becomes seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that there is a spirit manifest in the laws of the universe. A spirit vastly superior to that of man.
Paulo Coelho
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
Reminder :
You didn't come into this world to fail.
You came here for a reason and nothing can stop that from happening.
It is going to happen.
You came here for a reason and nothing can stop that from happening.
It is going to happen.

Eckhart Tolle
The Illusion of Separateness: Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship. It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other." You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is.
Eric Allen
Once we experience true self-esteem or self-love , we will never again concern ourselves with being ‘less’ or ‘better’ than another.
Our greatest joy will come from being who we are and sharing that joy with others. Love and Respect Yourself. You are simply amazing!

Simplicity, Patience, Compassion
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.

In this surrendered moment, I release all emotions that do not serve my highest good. I choose to accept from my heartspace all circumstances and people just the way they are without any egoic expectations. Now that is peace. Now that is unconditional Love.
ECKHART TOLLE
When you become aware of silence, immediately there is that state of inner still alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.

Leo Buscaglia
Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi
Your longing for me is my message to you.
All your attempts to reach me
Are in reality my attempts to reach You.
All your attempts to reach me
Are in reality my attempts to reach You.
Compassion
Only by overcoming life’s problems and obstacles can we become truly strong. If everything always goes smoothly, we will grow complacent and be unable to build a solid foundation for our lives. Only by experiencing suffering ourselves can we understand the suffering of others and deepen our compassion.

Neale Donald Walsch
We're moving into a period of time when the choices we make will produce an extraordinary effect on the lives we are collectively creating. So it is really important we come together in groups to share our reality and understanding. And when we find differences find ways to celebrate those differences.

I hope you realize your life is truly your life.It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well.
Kabîr
Don’t go outside your house to see the flowers.
My friend, don’t bother with that excursion.
Inside your body there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty
inside the body and out of it,
before gardens and after gardens.

Denis Waitley
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
Doubt
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
