Peaceful mind = Peaceful life

Sometimes difficulties are exactly what we need in life.

It is known that when God loves someone, He puts them to the test. If he freed us from all obstacles, problems, temptations and difficulties, we would never become as strong, resilient and capable as we are now and as we can be.

I like people who try to always be themselves.

They don't pretend
they don't try to please everyone around them,
they always go their own way.
They don't put on fake smiles
and they are not governed by the desire to be something they are not.
Even at the cost of fierce criticism, they dare to tell the truth.
Such people are like pills,
pain relievers
in this so often sick world.

Some days, the bravest thing you can do is to continue. For every broken heart who is here to fight another day, I’m proud of you. You’re hurting, but you’re here. It doesn’t get any stronger than that.

**Maybe...
I was never meant
to be complete.
Maybe...
I'm supposed to be
beautifully broken.
Perfectly imperfect.
I'm every mistake
I've ever made.
Beautifully flawed
in the eyes of someone
who can see the real me.
Beauty is in the eye
of the beholder.**

How other people behave has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with what's happening inside of them.

Don't let the actions of others ruin your inner peace and calm. You are the one in control of your state of mind. cerek

"You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken.

Be bold enough to live life
on your terms,
and never,
ever apologize for it.

Go against the grain,
refuse to conform,
take the road less traveled
instead of the well-beaten path.

Laugh in the face of adversity,
and leap before you look.

Dance as though EVERYBODY
is watching.

March to the beat of your
own drummer.

And stubbornly refuse
to fit in."

™ Mandy Hale

You can't teach people to respect themselves. Nor do they respect you. You can only show them where their limit is, if they don't. You can't even teach people to love themselves. And not even to kiss you. You can only let them know that if they come with hatred, intolerance, coldness, duplicity, then it is better not to come. And wish them a happy journey. Because they will need a lot of luck if they set off through life with such a burden.
Sooner or later you will probably meet such people yourself. Then don't worry too much when they hurt you. Humiliate. I will hesitate. Just ask yourself how you could expect something nice from such people. Encouraging. Encouraging. You can't teach people to respect themselves, or to respect you. Let life teach them that. But they must know one thing. He will teach them that, but in a much more difficult way. More painful. That's how it goes.

We all have really difficult people in life from time to time, so we pause and take some time to sort out a next action step.

By pausing and looking at the truth of the situation you are giving yourself an opportunity to act confidently with loving kindness.
We allow space for compassion knowing that this is not who you would want to be or how you would choose to behave.
We set healthy, safe boundaries, with no thoughts of trying to “change the other person.”
Remember every person is our perfect teacher helping us learn all that we need, use it all to grow, and continue becoming the greatest version of ourselves.

We could spend our whole lives waiting for someone to apologize or take responsibility for how they hurt us before we decide to let go. But the problem with that scenario is, we've made someone else in charge of how and when we heal. If we truly want to break a cycle and heal, we have to forget about what the other person is or isn't doing and focus entirely on our own process.

I am fine...

"If you asked her how she was feeling, and she felt safe and comfortable being brutally honest, she would say...'it feels like my soul left my body. I feel hollow and broken, as if there's a large gaping hole left where it was. I'm a shell of the person I once was. That's how I feel'. But she won't say that. Oh no. She'll say....'I'm fine, thank you for asking'.--©Michele McKenna, Simple Elegance

When a broken person decides to start over, there is nothing stronger than her. It is a force capable of changing the world. Because she went through all the beatings and humiliations. Along and across. In every cell of your being. And he knows what it's like when you have no one to rely on and you have to move on. And no one asks you if you can or if you need help. It is the person who has best felt on his own skin what it means to be someone's last hole in the pipe. And what is it like when a whole series of wounds hurts.

When a broken person decides to start over, not only his history changes, but the history of the world changes. And when it seems to her that she is falling apart the most, that is the best sign that everything is coming together from the beginning. And that she will no longer complain about small pains when she has passed the biggest ones. Such a person has the most feelings for others. Because she paid the most expensive price for the school of life. When I see a broken person who has decided to start over, I feel the need to bow to him. She deserved much more than a bow.

SILENT LOVE

"It's over" She said to him, averting her misted gaze to the floor.
A solitary tear dripped onto the wooden slats; the gentle whisper of it's drop seemed to hit the silence like a nail down a dusty chalkboard.
She wanted him to grab her by the waist and tell her that it could never be over; that nothing in the world could come between them; that he knew he had been distant but he was ready to love her right now, this minute...
It seemed to take an eternity for him to pick his chunky car keys from the table; the jangle of metal haunting the heavy air. Lifetimes flushed from her surrendered eyes as he slowly walked away, out of the door; out of her life.
She sat there, in her own puddled thoughts of regret, wondering how their love got so lost.
He sat in his car and turned the key. There was so much he wanted to say to her; he wanted to grab her by the waist and tell her how much he really loved her and that their love could never die; how nothing in the world would ever come between them; how he was sorry he had been distant but he was ready to love her right now...
As he drove away, he wallowed in his own puddles of thought and wondered how their love got so lost.
If only they knew how lost they were in each other, and that they could spend a whole lifetime trying to find themselves again.

HEAVEN'S BEACON

Those who choose to give have lived with those who take.
Those who choose to love have felt their strong hearts break.
Those who never leave have been left a thousand times.
Those who warm the day have felt cold in the night.
Some will choose to hide, play with shadows of their pain,
Never moving far, discussing all life's strains,
But some will always love, no matter what the cost,
For some are born to find themselves when all around are lost.
Some will change, become the harder shell that doesn't give,
Others take the pain and grow, choosing just to live,
For some are simply ghosts passing in the night,
But some are heaven's beacons, born to shine their light.
If ever you feel lost and you don't know where to go,
Remember who you are and feel your true path glow.
A ghost will never question, but you are full of why's,
So know that you're a beacon filling shadows with your light.

When someone is hurting, the response from others is often: “How can I fix this? What can I do? What solutions or advice can I bring?”

While often very well-intentioned, it is overlooking what the person needs most: to be heard. To be seen. To be given a safe space to feel and to fall apart. To have someone witness their pain and sit next to them while they process it.
Because grief can’t be “fixed”. And grieving can’t be rushed or rationed. It’s an extremely personal process that requires patience and compassion.
It’s painful. It’s uncomfortable. But, it is necessary.
May we sit with each other in it.

Keep your mouth shut...

Are you buying an apartment?
Keep your mouth shut, not everyone needs to know that.
Are you buying a new car?
Keep your mouth shut, not everyone needs to know that.
Are you feeling happy and everything is going great?
Keep your mouth shut, not everyone needs to know that.
Are you making your dreams come true?
Keep your mouth shut, not everyone needs to know that.
Having problems in your marriage?
Keep your mouth shut, not everyone needs to know that.
Did you find out something "secret" about the other?
Keep your mouth shut, not everyone needs to know that.
You just want to be happy?
Keep your mouth shut, not everyone needs to know that.
Most of the reasons our dreams and plans don't come true is because we open up too quickly to the wrong people. We trust them too quickly, reveal our secrets, share our joys and sorrows with them... However, not every smiling person is a trustworthy person. Time reveals true friends to us, and most often we discover them in difficult moments. This sentence is incredibly true and did not come out of nowhere. In my life, I made many pseudo friends who had honey on their lips and poison on their tongue. They were by my side just when they needed something, and when I had a difficult period, I didn't know where to look for them.
So if you want to be happy, just keep your mouth shut because not everyone needs to know that! Most of your "friends" will wish you well, but never better than themselves!
And that's the whole point, be careful who you talk to about your problems. Not everyone who smiles nicely and pats you on the back is your friend. Some will wait for your fall.

One Day I Decided To Quit

It was one seemingly ordinary day when I decided to QUIT. All of a sudden I made a decision to quit my job, my relationship, and finally my spirituality. I just wanted to quit my life.

But before that, I went to the wood to have one last talk with GOD.
I started: "GOD, can you give me one reason not to quit?"
HIS answer really surprised me: "Look around", HE said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

I replied: Yes. "When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave then light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. It's brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
But still, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo."

HE said: "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit."

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant.
But just six months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots.
Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.
I would not give any of MY creations a challenge it could not handle."

After that, HE asked me: "Did you know, MY child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. I would not quit on the bamboo, I will NEVER QUIT ON YOU."

"Don't compare yourself to others."
HE added, "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful."

GOD said to me: "Your time will come. You will rise high." I asked: "How high should I rise?"
"How high will the bamboo rise?"
I was confused: "As high as it can?"
"Yes." HE said, "Give ME glory by rising as high as you can."

After this conversation, I left the forest and I wrote this amazing story. I really hope that these words can help you to see GOD WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU.

You should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, GIVE UP.
DONT TELL THE LORD HOW BIG THE PROBLEM IS, TELL THE PROBLEM HOW GREAT THE LORD IS!

Let go. Nothing is yours.

And don't try to tie anyone to you. Give freedom to everyone who enters your life to choose whether to stay or leave. And you will see that life is better. Simpler. More dignified. You are calmer because you are not holding anyone close to you. You don't pressure anyone to stay when it's hard for you. You live one day at a time, whatever happens. You see the beautiful in people, and when they show you another face, you know that with your honesty, they will leave on their own.

Let go. Nobody is yours. All you can do is make the people around you feel good. So let them choose. A smile costs you nothing. Nice word. A handshake. It costs you nothing to be a comfort to someone in need. A helping hand. Road sign. Because you are aware that you got all this yourself, so it is not a problem for you to give. It lives open to people who come, but also open to people who leave. Those who want to be with you will stay. Those who want to leave - will leave. All the wisdom of life is in that.

Let them judge you.

Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you.

Their opinions aren’t your problem.
You stay kind, committed to love,
and free in your authenticity.

No matter what they do or say,
don’t you dare doubt your worth
or the beauty of your truth.

Just keep on shining like you do.

Never allow words to anger you!

Deflect them, neutralize their power!
Do not give others power over you
to harm you, or control you
through the words that they speak.
Words only have the power that one gives them.
Remain calm, stay balanced.
Your calmness and balance
will cause your opponent
to lose his calm, and his balance.
Thus weakened, your opponent is easily defeated.
Master yourself, guard your tongue.
In this, wisdom unites with action, and creates peace.

You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you.

They are too focused on their dreams and know how hard the journey is. You will only be criticized by someone who ISN'T achieving their goals and is taking it out on you.

People love to talk bad and judge others because they are so frustrated at their inability of chasing what they want so they try to make others feel small. They doubt their own abilities so much that they attack others to try to make people who DO share their art, books, videos and work in the world, feel like they shouldn't be. This can range from family, friends, and even strangers.

There is ALWAYS a critic.
People will try to control anything outside of them before they ever look in the mirror. Don't be that person. Judgment is toxic. Keep focusing on your dreams and keep moving forward!

You will never be criticized by someone doing more than you. you will only be criticized by someone doing less.

Always Remember that.

We try and prepare ourselves for the big ones: the birthdays, the holidays, the anniversaries.

But, for me, it’s always been the subtle and unexpected things that will trigger me the most: a scent, a song, a situation.

They are a hard piece of grief to navigate as they can be unpredictable and unplanned for.

And if you’re experiencing one today, please be gentle with yourself. Oû

YOU CAN’T BE EVERYONE’S CUP OF TEA

There will always be someone in this life who just doesn’t like you, no matter how hard you try to please them.
There will always be something that you say, or do, which causes offence or division.
Whether you meant to or not.
There will always be someone who finds fault in you, your life or your words.
You may never find out why, please don’t waste your precious time trying to.

You can’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

Then there will be those who like you on impact.
A little fizz of energy that passes between you.
Silently, unseen, bonding.
Those people will not only like you but they will like you fiercely.
They are your people.
Whatever spare time you have, spend it on them.

You can’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but you can be someone’s first sip of a cold drink on a sunny day…

Or a warming hot chocolate when you come in from the rain
or the pop of a long awaited champagne cork
or a stiff shot of tequila when things go awry

Find your people,
love them hard.

Take life one day at a time. Don’t waste too much energy trying to control the things that are out of your control.

Just look into your OPTIONS and ask yourself, what power do I have left ?

There’s ALWAYS something you CAN do, even when it feels like everything is out of control!

You know what I’m saying?

Worry not about what you can’t control, FOCUS on what you CAN change!

And if after exploring all your options, you still can’t find a solution, then it’s probably not a problem to be solved, but rather a TRUTH to be ACCEPTED.

"Later"

- Talk to you later.
- I'll call you later.
- See you later.
- We'll walk later.
"I'll tell you later."
We leave everything for later, but forget that "later" does not belong to us.
Later, our loved ones are no longer with us.
Later, we don't hear them and we don't see them.
Later, they are just memories.
Later, the day becomes night, the force becomes helpless,
the smile becomes a grimace, and life becomes death.
"Later" becomes "too late."

Why should you never make any challenge a reason to quit?

Every challenge brings out our stronger selves. Sometimes, we get challenged beyond our capacity and feel so weak and miserable that we feel the need to quit.
Our perspective toward any challenge can change how we feel about it. If we see it as an obstacle and lose hope, we always stay unhappy and unmotivated. But, if we remain hopeful and accept the challenge, we find ways to overcome it, and once we overcome it, the same challenge becomes a reason that we celebrate our win.
Face every challenge with strength. No matter how big it may seem, your strength to overcome is always bigger, and once you overcome, the same challenge will make you feel like a winner.
Dr Bhawna Gautam

There are already a lot of obstacles on your path, don't let yourself be one of them.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, but the one you form against yourself will.
Be in harmony with yourself, cooperate with yourself, let your thoughts be consistent with what you desire to experience and who you want to become in life.
If you desire success, stop thinking of failing.
If you desire to win, stop thinking about losing.
If you desire positive things, stop thinking negative things.
You can't have conflict within you and think you will have peace around you.
Create an environment inside of you that will help what you desire on the outside find full expression. You are sure to conquer the world but start by conquering yourself.
A house divided against itself will always fall. Many things around you are already against you, don't be against yourself.

'Real love is experienced when there are no conditions.

'Where love is present, nothing can be forced; force is only used when we perceive others to be different from ourselves. Conditional love cannot exist when there is only oneness. The very idea of force disappears in that state. Then you simply are. The universal life energy flows through you when you become an open passage. Let the Supreme Consciousness take charge, removing obstructions to its flow, allowing the river of all- embracing love to run its course.''

I wish I never met them ...

I wish I never went there
I wish it never happened
I wish I didn’t make that decision
I wish… I wish… I wish….
Unfortunately, regretting WON’T change anything. Life will always TEST and CHALLENGE you regardless of how careful you try to be.
Some things happen in life because of our bad decisions but some others happen because they’re supposed to happen. Call it fate or destiny… but some paths are INEVITABLE.
So find a way to FORGIVE yourself for whatever happened in the past… forgive the EXPERIENCE too. Grow from it and choose to become a better person!

HOLDING YOU

If they love you, they love every memory of you;
Each wrinkle, a chapter to feel.
If they love you they love you in present and past;
They will kiss all the hurt till it heals.

If they love you, each scar becomes who you are;
A page in your story of life.
For love doesn't see; it feels deep within;
Love doesn't cut like a knife.

Love doesn't see imperfections,
It only feels where love can grow.
Love doesn't go for the taking;
Love is the give and the show.

Each weight we hold onto in whispers
Can lift like a feather in flight,
If we trust in all our imperfect
And balance each dark with the light.

Be love, no secret disguises;
Embrace every reason you lack;
For love can never find you
If you're hiding behind your own back.

Love doesn't see you as flawless;
It sees you imperfectly planned.
Love will love you completely
When you reach out and hold your own hand.

So love you, love every memory of you,
Each wrinkle, each chapter; just feel.
Love all you are in present and past,
For your love is your love to heal.

Forgiveness is not about forgetting…

Forgiveness is not about pretending it didn’t happen…

Forgiveness is not about reconciling…

Forgiving them won’t magically cancel the hurt they caused you…

The mind doesn’t ever forget. Especially when that hurt leaves behind a TRAUMA.

Forgiveness is a PERSONAL choice one makes to heal and liberate themselves from the prison of bitterness…

It’s about taking your POWER BACK and MOVING ON from the past.

It’s not about reconciling with those who once caused you a lot of suffering. That’s up to YOU to decide, not people.

A couple who had been together for more than 60 years were interviewed and asked what was the secret of their HEALTHY relationship.

They said:

“We never threw away our plants when the THORNS grew on them. We simply REMOVED the thorns.”

In other words, they ADDRESSED their conflicts with clarity without bottling them in.

You know, the CONVERSATIONS you feel uncomfortable having with the people you have a relationship with are USUALLY the ones that hold the KEY to clarity, peace and RECONCILIATION.

The CURE for the pain is IN the pain.

When someone you love frustrates you, LET THEM KNOW right away. Communicate your feelings. Don’t expect them to just guess or notice.

If you don’t fix the little problems, they’ll turn into BIGGER issues and that will lead to the collapse of the ENTIRE relationship.

This applies to all types of relationships, not just romantic.

If you ever get the chance go alone. Walk alone, travel alone, live alone dance alone.

Just for awhile.

If you ever get the chance learn who you are when the world isn't demanding you to be one way or another.

Most people only know how to stand on their own if someone else will stand behind them.

Don't let that be your story.

When you get the chance, know that the opportunity to walk alone, even for a bit is a rare gift, one that will hand you insight that can change the course of your life.

Perfect relationships don’t exist.

When a person who has been good to you many times, rubs you wrong once in a while, try looking at the good they've done to you especially if their hurtful actions weren’t intentional.

But when someone constantly keeps hurting you, try dealing with the REALITY of how things are and not on how you want or wish they were.

If you find yourself constantly explaining to someone how they make you feel and yet they keep doing it, it shows they DON’T respect and don't care to lose you!

And in that case, you should CANCEL them by focusing on the wrong they're doing, to REMIND yourself of why they're not worth a place in your life anymore!

Just because someone isn’t expressing REGRET for what they did to you, doesn’t mean they’re not feeling it.

You don’t know what’s happening in their head. It could be hitting them harder than it’s hitting you.

Everyone doesn’t have the COURAGE and HUMILITY to take that leap of faith to make things right with those they’ve hurt.

Some people let their PRIDE and FEARS get in the way but that doesn’t mean they’re not conscious of what they did.

But whatever their reasons are, know that you DO deserve an apology.

And if you managed to move on with your life without ever receiving that apology, then you should really be PROUD of yourself!

You can’t hold onto pain for so long and expect to heal from it.

That hurt is going to RESURFACE at some point, and it’ll explode. That’s how people end up having mental breakdowns!
You have to allow yourself to feel and purge. Whatever it’ll take, DON’T KEEP YOUR EMOTIONS STUCK IN. Release them.
And if you must talk about it and cry over the same situation for the hundredth thousand time, do it. Healing isn’t linear. It’s a process and it’s different for everyone.

People who have been deeply hurt tend to build walls as a form of protection. The thing is, protecting yourself is a great thing. But how long will you stay in COMFORT ZONE?

Nobody is meant to go through life in complete isolation. Human interactions and relationships are important. You don’t have to befriend or trust people, but you should at least have some good CONNECTIONS. Don’t shut the whole world out.

Focusing too hard on protecting your heart may help you AVOID pain, but it’ll also make you miss out on building happy memories with good people.

So HEAL yourself while in your comfort zone and when you’re READY to go out in the world again, bring your best SMILE out.

Don’t let FEAR rule you! Take a leap of faith, do things afraid!

INNER PEACE

True humility is knowing our limitations and second getting the help we need to overcome what holds us back from finding our VOICE and and living a life of VOCATION...

Finding INNER PEACE and the HEALING of my wounds is not optional. It is essential to my growth and the contribution I bring to this planet.

Healing our past wounds is almost dutiful. Without letting go of pain and unnecessary suffering, we can never become the Being we are meant to be...

Healing is Imperative to our well-being, the relationships we forge, the work we do. How we feel inside is going to mark every aspect of our lives.

I speak from experience, beloveds. I carried for a long time the hurt that was imposed on me. I carried anger and resentment...My wounds were open and still bleeding until I've realized that if I don't make a change, it will kill me.

I had to humble myself and accept my limitations. Surrendering to what is, I also discovered my strength and resilience. I could have been dead considering how much I had to endure, but I was not.

That gave me hope. That gave me strength and with a sense of reverence for the mystery of life, I forged on with a new sense of freedom...

In time, INNER PEACE came into my heart...I have done my work, and I remembered who I am...

Gifts and talents hidden from my eyes began to emerge. I wrote poetry...I turned my wounds into art...I gave my wounds a new meaning and a new story emerged. A story of love and beauty. A story of Soul and Heart that makes up our human experience on Earth.

I call you onto YOU, beloved brothers and sisters...I call onto you to find your own humility and choose to return to your Essence by taking the journey to your Inner Self and ask to be freed from all the pain others caused you or the pain that you caused yourself.

Many times we do harm to ourselves. We are active participants in our enslavement to the past. We feed the mouth of anger and hate blaming life and others...We abandon ourselves on the sacrificial altar, hoping that others would come and save us from ourselves...

Make no mistake, my friends...Healing our wounds is a personal act as much as it is a social act. As we heal, we heal the world. As we heal, we heal the Soul of the World. As we heal, we love more. As we heal, we are loved by those that are worthy of our love.

As we heal, we find our VOICE...As we heal, we find our VOCATION and how we can best contribute to the greater good...

So, let us re-enter our story with reverence...It is a sacred place of ruin, but there is also hope for treasure to be found...

You are rich inside, beloved...Unearth your gold and show us what you're made of...Showcase your inner beauty.

Don't be shy about it. There is so much ugliness and pain out there. The world needs to savor your Truth, your Healed Self, your Voice...Your Presence...

It's not really a loss...

People are UNPREDICTABLE and can switch up anytime but you got to REMIND yourself that they’re only using their free will and there’s nothing you can do but ACCEPT it.

You will DETACH from them with time and the best part is that, even tho life takes, when it decides to REPLACE, the replacement can sometimes be ten thousand times BETTER than what you thought was best for you!

One day you’ll look back and think to yourself “wow I hurt myself for this? The whole time there was something better for me!” …

Cause it’s not really a loss if they were LOW vibrational. It’s a gain; you’re gaining peace and making room for better people to come in your life. It’s all about PERSPECTIVE!

NEVER CHANGE WHO YOU ARE

Never change who you are to please another. Never sacrifice what you want, for what someone else demands.

*****

Always stand for what is right, never compromise your standards so you can be liked.

Compromising your standards never ends well, because adjusting your lifestyle, personality, and values to meet someone else's ideal can easily turn you into someone you're not.

*****
You have more worth when you stay true to yourself, You may lose a couple of people but you will find yourself, and that's what truly matters.

*****

It's far better to be rejected for being you than to be accepted for being fake.
When you stay true, the right people who belong in your life will come to you and stay.

In a world full of fakes, be an original.

Conscious love

Conscious love is the most intimate body, mind, and soul relationship. First and foremost with self, then with another.

Conscious love is when you invest in loving without walls, hesitation and fear, and hold yourself in compassion when you are not there yet.

Conscious love is when you can laugh your loudest, cry your ugliest, tell your deepest secrets without guilt or shame. It allows you to make love to your demons and stare fear in the face.

Conscious love is wearing your heart on the outside of your body, willing to risk being hurt or rejected. And to hide it under layers of self-protection when the pain is too raw and edgy.

Conscious love is strong and powerful. It can hold endless space with it's warmth, stability and firm boundaries. Sometimes it is scared and small, an inner child that needs to calm down in your arms.

Conscious love pushes you to be your best, and it wipes your tears and holds you close when you slip up.

Conscious love is pure and authentic, it has no agenda.

Conscious love can be messy and hard but it doesn't hold back. It pushes past the awkward and uncomfortable. It takes you to the bottom of yourself and allows you to see clearly. All delusion is gone. All that's left is truth.

Conscious love knows when it's safe to take the risk because it's mindful, and patient.

Conscious love is beautiful, it's magic, it's intoxicating, it's the way we were created to love and we know it when we experience it.

When you reach this level of depth and connection nothing is off limits, no conversation too uncomfortable, nothing needs to be hidden.

In order to attract this level of connection and be able to give this type of love to another you must have done *your work*. Not with the result of being a finished product but to be okay when things get messy and distressful.

You need to be complete, with or without a partner.
Only then can you love without attachment and fear.
Only then can you make the conscious choice who you will give your love to.

Only then can you love from the depths of your soul.

* Conscious is also all about embracing the Not Knowing. Unwavering control suppresses the natural wonder that expands and enriches our human experience as well as our Soul's journey.

Embracing the big Unknown is sacred, holy, divine, and liberating.~

I have lived at my lowest for a long time and even today, I still do.

To be honest, my life is still circling on waking up and striving to go through the day. Each day, the universe gives me countless of patience test. Things don’t always turn out as planned and time doesn’t always go on my side. Sometimes the rain pours when I forget to bring an umbrella, the sun rises or sinks sooner than I expected, and people stay for a much shorter time than I wished they did. Most of the times tunnels seem endless making me feel like I’ll never get a glimpse of light again. But despite life’s unforgiving surprises, despite how draining a day can be, I still manage to get up the next day with a heart coated with a fresh pack of hope.

You see, my life’s a mess; but I still know in my heart that better days will come. All the lows—heartbreaks, skipped meals, 2ams, goodbyes, all those years I’ve spent setting myself aside for others—I don’t think I’ve gone through all that for nothing. I know my suffering has a reward. I know my season will come. Until then, I’ll keep on trusting the universe.
