I’ve Learned: That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. We all believe that everybody has the same view of the world as we do, and that everybody has the same perception of it. This is really not true. We all have different perceptions and that is why…
People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert ~ We spend so much time looking…
I’ve Learned: That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. One of the main reasons for low self-esteem is that people don’t take responsibility for their actions. They always try to blame someone else. That someone else is the reason for all the bad things that happen to them, and…

I’ve Learned: To be different, and to always be true to myself. I’ve learned to always keep my mind open for things I truly like. Fashion is unimportant, style is what really matters. Never wear things because somebody else is wearing it, we have to be our own role model. There will be people that…
I’ve Learned: Mistakes are sometimes the best memories. We’re born, we die, and in between we make a lot of mistakes, and some are too much fun to only make once. You cannot always wait for the perfect time, sometimes you must dare to jump. Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to…
Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in eternal awareness or pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity. ~ Voltaire ~ We meditate because this world of ours has not been able to fulfill us.

Sweet Spirit: Your love needs to express through each willing soul who is dedicated to his or her spiritual journey. Let me be that willing soul.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy; for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities. ~ Psalms 31:7 ~ God knows everything about us. When we read the Word of God we know that we have a secure and certain future for God will never allow us to suffer…
“Significance is discovered in the heart. It is here that it is cultivated and nurtured as it imparts meaning to everything you put your hand to. It spills forth from a life rooted in the source of significance itself – divine love. This takes what may appear as mundane, simple tasks and makes them pregnant…
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. ~ Carl Jung ~ When we look inside our own heart, our vision can begin to become clear. We discover what we are, who we are, and what we truly believe. When we ignore our heart, we see through a fog of dreams…
God’s will is that we be happy now. In asking that God’s will be done, we are instructing our minds to focus on the beauty in life, to see all the reasons to celebrate instead of mourn. Usually we figure out what we think would make us happy, and then try to make those things…
Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~ Ah! this beautiful world!… Indeed, I know not what to think…
Defeat may test you. It need not stop you. If at first you don’t succeed, try another way. For every obstacle, there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up. Your circumstances define the conflict, but not the final result. The harder the struggle,…
Today I stumbled and once again, was lifted up by an unseen hand. What comfort and joy that knowledge brings. For I hear the whisper of angel wings. The guardian angels God sends to all, to bear us up when we stumble and fall. Trust Him, my friend, and often you’ll hear the whisper of…
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Try to think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best. Try to forget the mistakes of the past…
Better to ask a question than to remain ignorant? Better to be a free bird than a captive king? Better a broken promise than none at all? Better to be a poor person than the slave of the rich? Better to be watched by a wild animal than a nosy person? Better to do something…
The universe works with a more varied palette than do the venues of power and influence acknowledged by the world. The universe is like an infinitely powerful computer, registering a spark of willingness on anyone’s part to receive the light and then impart it to others. As we pray and meditate, attuning our hearts and minds to God, we…
He that saves something today will have something tomorrow. Dine with a stranger but save your love for your family. A person who misses a chance and the monkey who misses its branch, both cannot be saved. He who controls his tongue, saves his head. He who works has much, he who saves, still more….
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. ~ James Allen ~ Your thoughts are the power source of your mind. This is part of the creative power of the Universe. You are a manifestation of the Universal mind. Thoughts, like seeds, have a natural tendency…
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. ~ Marilyn Monroe …
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~ Albert Einstein ~ If we live our life as if everything is a miracle, every moment becomes something to treasure and live in awe of. We then…
If you judge people, you have no time to love them. ~ Mother Teresa ~ Instead of judging someone, we need to allow ourselves to see the whole person. Often we will find there is so much strength and attraction in a person when we are less judgmental and more loving. We can enjoy the essence…
