It's about and for you..!!!!

When you are generous, sometimes people will take advantage... 
You may be respectful and yet people will be unkind... 
You may be a good person, and people will nonetheless treat you terribly.... 

We don't always get what we give, but that's fine, because you aren't giving it for them anyway, at least not exclusively.... 

It's really all a statement by, about and for you. How you treat others is really about who you choose to be in this life... 

The repayment for your good acts are the good acts themselves. When you act honorably, even if others don't, your honorable actions are your irretractable reward to yourself.... 

Who you chose to be  decision by decision and act by act is the great reward you receive by doing good. What is well done is well received. The mark you leave in another's heart is always left in yours.. for better or worse...!!!

Polarity of life...

Life is always a polarity... 
If there were no darkness there would be no light...
If there were no trouble there could never be any peace... 
If the sun always shone you would not appreciate it... 
You have to learn sometimes through conditions that seem a nuisance... 
One day you will look back and say, "We learned our best lessons not when the sun was shining, but when the storm was at its greatest, when the thunder roared, the lightning flashed, the clouds obscured the sun and all seemed dark and hopeless". It is only when the soul is in adversity that some of its greatest possibilities can be realized...

Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you...

Have you wondered what our exaggerated reactions might reveal about us? simply put, they reveal a truth about ourselves that we’re often afraid to admit... isn't..??

It’s scary being confronted with the reality of your suffering...

In that moment, you’re not only facing with all the pain you’ve suffer, but also with all of the work that now needs to be done. it’s a frightening realization, even more so when a person realizes their pain has been self-induced all along, and that its cessation has always been entirely within their control...

Most people run away from the true source of their problems when they see it staring back at them in the mirror.... 
it’s shocking to realize it’s been you all along... 
it’s a moment filled with shame that many refuse to accept, resorting instead to finger-pointing, frustration and blame...

I see this happen every day, disguised within people’s overblown comments  more importantly, i’ve also been witness to this within myself. i too, deluded myself for blaming all of my unhappiness on everyone around me, everyone but myself...

People often respond with anger and bitter criticism when their pain has finally been exposed...it repulses them to know the truth, even more so when they’ve.... they’ve realized it’s been their own doing all along..... their anger betrays them however, tricking them into thinking that no one knows best but them, but if that were true, their pain would have healed long ago. instead, it persists because they choose to resist...!!!!

When the truth behind our struggles is rolled out in front of us, our wounds become open, sensitive and raw.

In this moment, we become our most vulnerable, possibly even reverting to a childlike response filled with outbursts of rage, anger and contempt. we grieve for our loss of innocence...we didn’t realize our gross negligence, and it not only shocks us, it embarrasses us. we grieve for the part we've played in creating our pain and it’s damn hard to accept too...!!

This grief, the one where we realize we’ve been our own worst enemy, is just like any other...

Self-rejection

“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. 
When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. 
The real trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. 
Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence.”

Can’t You See Me Through the Rain..!!

Have you ever felt like there was no where to run?
No one there, when all you need is a shoulder to cry on?
Where can you go when you get caught up in the drift of everything that is flowing through your head?
When all the pain comes rushing in and all you do is cry out to be saved, but there is no one there to feel your pain.
You feel so faraway from the world and you are lost in thought.
Just remember that you will find your way home.
You are going to make it alone.
All you need to do is say, that you can make it all the way, through thick and thin, you can make it in.
You are strong enough to mend, even if you feel afraid hold on tighter to your faith, and live one more day to make it through the rain.
Do not give in to all the things that pull you down.
You will make it safe and sound.
Keep pushing on and you will see that everything you need will come, if you just keep going a little further.
When people come to push you down don’t be afraid because you can make it all the way.
Don’t hesitate, just walk through the gate and you will see that you have made it all the way through the rain.
