A LIE vs DECEIT ~ IS THERE A DIFFERENCE????

-

"Lie" - "...a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive..."
 
Are they different?  A lie is something verbal, while deceit is usually done by actions.......

Ex.  A married man goes into a bar and is asked by a woman if he is married, he replies, "No."-that is a lie. 
A married man goes into a bar and slips his wedding band into his pocket that is deceit.  Both wrong.....both ugly, both very telling of a person's lack of character

I, personally, despise a liar or one that deceives.  I believe it shows weakness, ignorance, disrespect, arrogance…….a very unattractive quality in a person.  Don’t get me wrong, we all lie and God knows I’ve done my fair share of lying and deceiving in my lifetime, but neither are something I am proud of at all and strive to keep my heart pure and be a person of my word.  My word and my actions are mine.  I control them, which makes me and only me responsible for them, therefore it is important to me that I they are used with love and respect.
I read a very true and accurate saying that reflects my views on lying……Never push a loyal person to the point where they don’t give a damn.  Lying and deceit are two things that can push a person right out of my life.  I have experienced first-hand and watched as these two negative words have completely ruined people.  Both will catch you sooner or later and you WILL deal with the consequences whether you lose everything or you struggle with inner demons.  They are both negatives and when you allow them in your life you fill yourself with negativity which breeds self hatred.  Truth is free while lying can cost you everything. 
SO WHY DO PEOPLE LIE AND DECEIVE?
We lie to avoid confrontation, to make others believe we are something we are not, guilt, to shift blame, self-gratification (man lying about his marriage, etc), shame, lack of self-esteem, weakness.  As far as I am concerned the minute you wander away from gratitude it opens the gateway to self-destruction.  Always believing there is something or someone better out there for you, getting more will make you happier, you grow tired of trying, you give up.
HOW TO AVOID LYING AND DECEIVING?
Simple!!!!! Live in gratitude.  Be thankful for what you have in your life and who you have in your life, when you are always seeking for the next best thing, you lose sight of what is right there right now and this will cause you to seek forever, for you will never be satisfied.  Happiness WILL always elude you. Oh, you may feel better and like you have found the right “new” mate or the right “new” job, or the right “new” material possession, but I promise you, after a short period of time, YOUR reality will see it wasn’t greener on the other side and you will venture out again and again and again.  HOWEVER, when you appreciate what and who you have, even during the rough times, the rough times become easier and the good times become better.  You become stronger and trust is unbreakable.  LIVE IN GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATE ESPECIALLY IN THE TOUGH TIMES!!!!!

Manifest It All!!!

-
Manifesting is different than wishing........Wishing is simple and overused, we wish our hair was longer, we were taller, we were sleeping while sitting in boring meeting.  Manifestation is our way to really get what we want and need for our higher good.  For our mission our purpose to help us and allow us to experience things we focus on to bring into our existence for growth and joy if done correctly.  Manifestation can and is a great learning tool and if we look at all we have manifested with intent of joy we can learn to manifest nothing but happiness. Manifestation can also represent the old cliche, be careful what you wish for you just might get it, especially when we yearn for something we had, but let go and then manifest it back into our lives.  Everything we currently have in our existence, we manifested.  The pillows on our couch, the trinkets on our mantels, etc.  Have you ever took the time to look around and really see the things that you m...

SOUL PURPOSE

-
I have found lately that all of the turmoil my mind has caused me was in a desperate attempt to find out my purpose and reason to be a participant in this world.  Was I here to save the whales?  Find a cure for cancer?  Was I important enough to have a purpose......I mean I hear it all the time that everyone has a purpose.  I was finding that I was becoming increasingly anxious in finding out what I was here to do, I mean what if it had eluded me for so long that I have wasted my time doing something I shouldn't have been doing?  I don't want to have to start over again, to have to come back and repeat the pain when I could have just done it this time around. So I have been asking and asking and then so defeated when it doesn't come back quickly.  I know that the answer has been there and given to me over and over.  I was just looking for more or a different answer I guess.   I found that purpose doesn't necessarily come from what you...

I AM

-
I AM.  That is all.  That is all I need for I am = individual consciousness.  Learning and practicing to keep your mind focused on "I AM" will greatly increase your wellness and your attitude to life and the journey that you are traveling.  I use to believe that Karma was like the devil, the pied piper if you will.  The bag of ugliness and negativity waiting to throw shame, guilt and payback.  The only way to wrong your right.  I find my mind shifting, my beliefs held me back, kept me stuck and allowed me to struggle as I walked through life.  My beliefs as much as I wanted them to be cloaked in light and love were ultimately wrapped in fear.  The fear comes from not knowing recogizing loving and beleiving in myself.  The journey I walk through comes from me, from my mind and fear of what if instead of knowing that I AM and that is all.  I am beginning to detach myself from the "world" and it's beliefs and outcomes, as they do not ...
