When two meet ~ "Each of us has a unique note to play...When people who live their meaning meet each other, a connection is made outside of space and outside of time that has a lasting effect. It becomes part of this bigger network of light that gives meaning to the whole of life." ~Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien Inspired to Thrive
Give your best anyway... MOTHER TERESA..
“People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.”
-Mother Teresa

Sharing this great teaching from Pema Chodron:
If we were to make a list of the people we don't like-people we find obnoxious, threatening or worthy of contempt-we would find much about ourselves that we can't face. If we were to come up with one word about each of the troublemakers in our lives, we would find ourselves with a list of descripti
Sharing this great teaching from Pema Chodron:
If we were to make a list of the people we don't like-people we find obnoxious, threatening or worthy of contempt-we would find much about ourselves that we can't face. If we were to come up with one word about each of the troublemakers in our lives, we would find ourselves with a list of descripti
ons of our own rejected qualities. We project these on the outside world. The people who repel us unwittingly show us aspects of ourselves that we find unacceptable, which otherwise we can't see. Traditional lojong teachings say it another way: other people trigger the karma we haven't worked out. They mirror us and give us a chance to befriend all of that ancient stuff we carry around like a backpack full of granite boulders.
"Be grateful to everyone" is a way of saying that we can learn from any situation, especially if we practice this slogan with awareness. The people and situations in our lives can remind us to catch neurosis as neurosis-to see when we've pulled the shades, locked the door, and crawled under the covers."

JOY...
~ JOY ~
"Many of us confuse happiness and joy. Happiness is often triggered by external events, events we usually have no control over - you get the promotion, he loves you back, they approve your mortgage application. Happiness camoflauges a lot of fears.
But joy is the absence of fear. Joy is your soul's knowledge that if you don't get the promotion, keep the relationship, or buy the house, it's because you weren't meant to. You're meant to have something better, something richer, something deeper. Something More. Joy is where your life began, with your first cry. Joy is your birthright."
~Sarah Ban Breathnach (from her book 'Something More')

If we learn to observe others as our mirrors to understand who we are, we become deeply aware of our scars and the limiting beliefs through which we co-create our lives.
If we learn to observe others as our mirrors to understand who we are, we become deeply aware of our scars and the limiting beliefs through which we co-create our lives.
If, for example, our scars come from issues of abandonment, we co-create, through the limiting belief that "all those who love me will, sooner or later, leave me”, then we continue to attract people and situations that will make us experience abandonment, until the time we are no longer afraid of it...
