An excerpt from As A Man Thinketh by James Allen (1903): "Having conceived of his purpose a man should mentally mark out a straight pathway to his achievement looking neither to the right nor the left. Doubts and fears should be rigorously excluded; they are disintegrating elements which break up the straight line of effort rendering it crooked, ineffectual, useless. Lots of doubt and fear never accomplished anything, and never can. They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in."

Fear can only be found in the mind. If you nurture fear, you will remain stuck. If you release fear, there are no limits to what you can do. <3 

Those who don't understand frequencies and energy will use words like "miracle", "coincidence", and "fate". Those that know better will use words like "manifest", "law of attraction", and "karma". Either way, the end result is that everything happens at the exact moment it is supposed to happen.

You, and everyone you know and don't know, is exactly where they are supposed to be in the now...this moment. Every life that has lived, is living, and will ever live on this planet has a reason for being here. The intracacies that must happen for the intertwining of lives cannot be understood by a human mind. It's easier to just think that there isn't a reason for us to all be floating around on a ball in an undiscovered universe. 

You are exactly where you need to be...in the now, for now. When the time is right, you will be in the next exact place you are needed. Until then, enjoy the moment you are in. Embrace the now. It's all you will ever have. <3

,We all have an ego and we all have a soul. If you doubt that there is anyone else but you residing in your, try this test: Close your eyes and without speaking outloud say the word "happiness". Do it again. You saw and heard the word happiness, correct? Who said the word if you didn't? 
Understanding this will be the beginning of your enlightenment. 

You have, and will always have, control of your mind. What is mulling around up there is happening because you want it to happen. If you fear, its because you want to fear. But fear is a made up thing and can only exist in your mind. You can stop the fear anytime you want. 

There is no past. There is no future. There will only ever be this moment right now. Stay there. Be the voice in your head and you will find peace. <3

An elder shared with me that change is like giving birth. There will be pain, there will be crying, there will be fear of the process, but when you make it through you are relieved and happy that its over. And you are able to move forward on a new and exciting path. Having given birth myself I can see why this analogy is used to describe change. 

The mindset that one has when they enter into a new chapter of their life will determine if they are successful or unsuccesful. If you go in trying to control the outcome, you will have nothing but grief. If you go in understanding that you are not in control of anything except your reaction to life, you will have peace.

Nothing stays the same. Change is inevitable. Accept the truth of this and life gets a whole lot easier. Resist change, and you only bring unnecessary mayhem into your life. Choose to let go, you will be happier for it. <3

Nature is fascinating! I am intrigued by the immeasurable amount of intracies it takes for us to have nature. It's mind boggling to think of the ebb and flow that has to take place for nature to exist.

One of natures most preplexing transformations is a caterpillar into a butterfly. This creature literally has two lives. One that crawls around and one that flies around. How incredible is that?!

Then I think of the human species and how we also transform into different lives...baby, child, teen, adult, senior. The struggle that we go through to get to each stage is not easy, but is impressive.

We shouldn't take the fragility of our life for granted. We should feel blessed that we have been able to exist in this wonderous world of ours. Look for the beauty in life. It is there that you will find peace. <3

We are perfectly imperfect beings. So many beings want to protray a facade of perfection, but the truth is, material perfection will never happen. To chase after this illusion is an indication of much deeper issues in oneself. Why aren't you good enough? What is it that makes you feel unworthy?

Accepting the imperfections in yourself and in others is the closest to perfection that you will ever get. Understanding that nothing is broken and all is as it should be is the epitome of perfection.

Wisdom is perfection. Strive for that and you will have achieved your life long pursuit of perfection. <3

I've tried really hard throughout my life to have uninspired conversations with people. The silence was deafening when I realized that I'm not interested in uninformed chats. If we converse, it has to be meaningful or I'm moving along.

People call it being stuck up when you don't want to engage. I call it protecting myself from having to participate in unnecessary chit chat. 

Now, get me in a room with people who are on the same wave length (frequency) as me and I could listen and converse for hours. These are my people. They understand me. They get me. This is my comfort zone. 

Find your people and you will always have a place to belong. <3 

Firstly, and most importantly, don't keep people around you who are unkind. But if they need to be in your life for whatever reason, don't trust anything they say or do. People who are hurtful have issues that have absolutely nothing to do with you. That is why you shouldn't trust their words or actions, and in fact, why you should completely ignore them.

The biggest act of self-love that you can give yourself is to not let anyone dimish your self-worth. Anyone who does this hasn't learned how to love themselves either. So if you can't love yourself, and they can't love theirself, that leaves you in a "no love" zone. Nothing good can come from that.

If you want love, you need to love yourself. If you want respect, you need to respect yourself. If you want peace, you will need to have found peace in yourself. It is always up to you and will forever remain that way. <3

I was taught that being at rest for too long was a bad thing. One had to be busy at all times and lazing around was frowned upon. Reflecting on that now, I can see why it was  expected.

When a person is kept busy they cannot find time to get to know oneself. The busyness that is so important is what the mind will think and worry about. There is no time for you in all that mayhem.

The fact of the matter is is that nothing is more important in life than learning to understand yourself. All that physical stuff that you do to live life is all fine and well, but the mind is where the real work is. 

Slow down. Be grateful. Get to know you. Breathe. <3

Nothing good comes from listening to your ego. It only cares about the feeling of importance it receives by your made up thoughts. (Read that again).

Our mind churns out thousands of thoughts in a day. Some of them are heard by you, the watcher of the thoughts, and some slide right on by. The thoughts that your mind fixates on are determined by you, the watcher of the thoughts. You can choose to engage or ignore at any time you want. You hold the key to the prison that is your mind.

I've learned the art of shutting off the ego and to instead only allow the thoughts I want. This isn't an easy task because of all the fear instilled in me throughout my life. Fear holds us down, but the truth of the matter is is that fear is not real, it is made up. Fear can only exist in your mind. It doesn't exist anywhere else. You are able to end the fear anytime you want. You are able to leave the prison that is your mind anytime you want. <3
