Quotes............

It has never been about what you do.

It has always been about who you are.

And it will be about what you have done and left behind.

Quotes......

“The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.”
~St. Jerome

Bloom........

In order to bloom, you must grow up and away from the boundaries set by immature beliefs and unrealistically imposed expectations. 

Unleash your true self in the glory that is meant to be you.

Bloom in great abundance and you will thrive.

And in this, you will have peace of mind.

My Newest Page: "A Forum For Your Thoughts, Dear Reader"

(we all fit together)

The newest page addition to my blog is dedicated to you, dear readers. This page will be a place where everyone is welcome to share of themselves, on *any subject as long as it is in truth, love, and understanding. We all posses our own unique wisdom in one form or another.

You may like to share an adverse experience and how you overcame it. You may choose to speak about your stance on one subject or another. You may have a positive thought that you would like to shout out into the "bloggesphere". You might even like to inspire others in one way or another.

Maybe, a quote that you find helpful, useful, silly, etc. or a tip or two of any kind is always helpful to others. Or you may find yourself feeling badly about what's going on in your life at the moment and just need to vent.

I am so looking forward to reading your thoughts and interactions with one another. Coming together in a safe and loving environment is good for all.

Giving of ourselves, on any level, is on the of best ways to find peace of mind in knowing that you are heard, accepted and valued and that you can make a difference.

*(the only subjects that will be taboo are religion and politics. I find these to be too emotionally charged and are better left for another forum)

Thoughtful Thoughts.....

This just blew my mind, so I felt compelled to share it with you, dear reader. My thoughts are as follows:
Just imagine this.
Comprehension on the greatest of scales.
If for just a moment.
How infinite we all are.
How connected.
How cosmic.
How beautiful.

Quotes....

And herein lies the meaning of legacy for the good, for all that follow.

It is what we leave behind that is most important.
It is who we have loved that will last throughout eternity.
It is how we have treated others that will leave the impression of empathy and compassion.
It is the lessons we teach our children and those we mentor, about how to be a positive influence to all of those we encounter, that will be perpetuated.
It is the wisdom and knowledge we accumulate and share, that the generations, moving forward, will then put forth to enlighten future mankind.

All these things give me peace of mind for when my time comes to leave this earth and I move on to the next enlightened path.

Be light. Be love. Be everlasting.

For You......

Everyone should have this sign literally hanging on their front door.

Everyone should have this vibe emanating from them in order to keep nonsense away.

Do not make time for those who make your time a miserable chore.
Have peace of mind in knowing that you can show this sign figuratively as well as literally.

Be Happy. Be Love. Be Nice.

For You.....

Make sure to set aside a moment each and every day to relax and decompress.

It could be as short as 5 minutes.

This is how you recharge your internal batteries, especially, during a busy/stressful day.

Breath in peace, exhale cluster.

Today: 9/11/11

I'm gonna make this post very short and simple. 

"PEACE"

Be Authentic....

I've always been a bit of a rebel. I never took too kindly to authority and always questioned everything and every one. I am grateful for having parents who kept me in check with loving discipline and a stable upbringing.

I've also always had a deep sense of being different from the norm. Yet, instead of feeling isolated because of it, I've instead felt special and blessed. This is who I am and I embrace my being. I enjoy being different from everyone else. I enjoy not fitting into any sort of molds. I enjoy being the unique individual that I am.

You see, dear reader, there is a fine line between individuality and narcissism. As responsible and loving beings, we much recognize the gift of this individual spirit that lives within ourselves, and at the same time, not take this uniqueness too seriously as to be self righteous and egotistical.

We are the only ones that are the best as being who we are. No one can be a better you, than you. If this includes coloring outside the lines and being a non-conformist, then let it be so.

If this means sticking out from the rest of the crowd, then more power to you. If this means standing up for what you believe to be right and true, even though you may be in the minority, then go for it.

By being authentic, you are, in essence, just being the person you were meant to be, not the person you were told you should or must be.

There is a very freeing sense of self that comes with the peace of mind of knowing and accepting who you are and embracing it always.

QUOTES......

Never assume that you have all of the answers, or even that the answers you may posses are the correct and true ones. By not holding on to these assumptions, you will be able to allow yourself to be open to new thoughts and ideas. To speak metaphorically, it's like leaving the door wide open, letting understanding and enlightenment to walk through.

Your world is much better being grey than living in the alternative black and white scenario.

I'm not saying, dear reader, that you should not hold strong beliefs (if you so choose). What I am conveying to you is the sense of openness to contradictory thought. An openness to the things that you may be fearful of because of your lack of knowledge (this is an honest assessment of fear based thinking). Furthermore, an openness to those around you of different faiths, cultures, statuses, lifestyles and the rest.

By viewing the world in this way, you will find that your view/perspective will be constantly changing for the better. Your wisdom becomes deeper and your soul becomes more loving.
