~Lessons Learned~

Pride = a   high   or  uncontrolled   opinion   of   one's   own   dignity,   importance,   merit,   or   superiority,   whether   as  cherished   in   the   mind   or   as   displayed   in   bearing,   conduct,   etc. Humility = modest   opinion   or   estimate   of   one's   own   importance,   rank,   etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pride is what I had-humility is what I needed.  Thank God I finally figured that out and took a huge dose of humility!!!  One of the most freeing and eye-opening experiences.  Humility, I found truly is a feeling!! For years I struggled to be heard, to be recognized, and appreciated.  Little did I realize, I was looking for it on the outside.  I wanted others to recognize and appreciate me.  I wanted the outside...

Great question!!!!  I'll bet when you read it, you have a lot of excuses to answer it.......right?  Not enough money, need to pay off debt, not ready yet, my parents need me, my kids need me, what if I'm rejected, etc., etc.  Doesn't matter the question, the answers fit so many.  See below. 1.  Why don't you tell him/her you love him/her? 2.  Why don't you ask him/her to marry? 3.  Buying a house? 4.  Going back to school? 5.  Getting a new job? 6.  Having kids? See how many of the "excuses" fit the question......then why do so many of us "put off", procrastinate, avoid-the answer FEAR!!!  I've written before about walking through fear and how fear keeps you stuck. It hinders you from progression in your life and ultimately an even happier life.  Keep your mind focused on positive thoughts.  Don't be afraid to fill your life with everything you desire!!!  Ask yourself what would you do if the person...

In the last blog Your Heart..........I talked about a friend of mine and the current situation he found himself in. So do you think he called me?  Do you think he met the "other woman" or found his way back to his heart? Well here is the update.................Read this quote it speaks volumes of what is to come in this story!! My friend's wife continued to struggle with health issues after the birth of their last child and my friend continued to struggle with his inner self.  Eventually, his family wasn't talked about anymore and when I would bring them up, he would politely dismiss them with a "yeah they're good".  If they were brought up, it was always something that pissed him off.   I soon noticed that he was losing weight.  A few months prior, his wife had been encouraging his weight loss, packing him homemade lunches with notes encouraging him and even joined the mission with him.  When I complimented him on how lucky he was to have a ...

I had a friend come to me with an issue~his marriage.  He asked me if I had any idea on how his life had gotten so out of control, so overwhelming, and why he was filled with so much guilt.  I smiled as he asked (which he didn't like~but I couldn't help myself, I watched his life spiral out of his control for months).  He told me he had so much anger towards his wife and when I asked why, his response surprised him, because of the guilt I feel.   Hmm, I said sounds like a personal issue that you're trying to get rid of by blaming someone else.  I asked him why the guilt?  Friend:  Because I envy the way she loves me and I seem to be so superficial.  Before I go any further let me give you a little history on the past few months.  (Bet you'll see what I saw). His wife was pregnant (again #4 I believe) and he was so proud in the beginning.  The thought of another child motivated him and he wanted to get his degree, a better paying job...

I want to share my lesson learned today!!!  This month has blessed me with so many lessons.  I am learning so much and want to share with each of you.  I promise if you want to end inner turmoil.....make a commitment to yourself to calm the unruly child that seeks attention inside - this is your ego and move towards the spirit !! It is said, the spiritually evolved person who has few wants or attachments is relatively immune to grief, as the source of happiness originates from within and is not dependent on externals. Our egos are so strong, they tell us to seek happiness through image or value on "stuff".  Even relationships become over valued by our ego and our "need" for more.  Love and peace are the greatest threat to the ego.  BE AWARE THAT THE REAL YOU IS NOT THE EGO.  REFUSE TO IDENTIFY WITH IT. "Being Me"......what does that mean?  How often do you live your days by someone else's definition of life (a parent, a friend, the media,...
