AS I LOVE OTHERS FOR WHO THEY ARE, I LOVE MYSELF FOR WHO I AM
Posted by admin | Filed under Inspirational
As I love others, despite the way they behave, I am also healing and understanding aspects of myself that I might also feel uncomfortable with. All the people in my life are mirrors, reflecting back aspects of me and I need to love everyone so that all parts of me can be healed through loving care.
NEVER be selective about who you give your love to.
Love everybody.
Yes… everybody!
Who said it was easy? Sometimes it isn’t. But the most important thing is that we extend love to all.. particularly those who we might find it most hard to love but are in so much need of it for sure.
So many of us pick and choose those people we want to give our attention to, who we want in our circle of friends and close acquaintances, our significant other, our family.
But to restrict love is also to restrict love to all aspects of ourselves.
Because all people in the world… all people who cross our path and come into our life are reflecting some part of us.
And they might well be reflecting some part of us that needs to be healed.
So give love to the person who stands aloof or is different or puts up those forbidding barriers.
Give love to the person who is judgmental or condescending.
Give love to the person who does not agree with you or even goes so far as to challenge you for who you are.
And give love to the person who is clearly at odds with you.
Because in loving the person who does not connect well, you are giving love and healing to the part of you that finds it hard to connect with certain people… perhaps authoritarian figures.
And in loving the person who casts judgment you are give warm healing to that part of you which sets you apart, considers yourself better or lesser than others.
And giving love to the person who is conflict with you brings understanding that part of you which is in conflict with yourself.
So someone in your life has gone off the rails… has behaved in a way that you do not approve of. We all know those who have upset the applecart.
But wake up… there is part of you that is off the rails.
Part of you might be glued to some addiction, to some destructive mode of conduct, to something that does not serve you or the world.
And when you love another for who they are despite what they might do as they struggle through life, as we all surely do at times, you are also healing and love that part of you which is also struggling.
Let’s face it… as human beings we all have the same emotions, feelings, fears and foibles.
Yes, all of us.
And we are connected into this great energy gestalt of which we are part of and so every aspect of every aspect of every person in the world is also an aspect of us.
OK some aspects might be subdued… some might be healed and therefore we are not as dangerous as other people… but all aspects do rear their heads in our thoughts if not our actions and loving action changes that thought into a better one that serves us.
We all suffer destructive thoughts… even if we do not follow them up with actions.
And we all need this healing so that when one of those ill serving thoughts flicks into our mind we can switch it quickly into a loving one which will not cause us to burn with rage, beat ourselves up or have any potency in our consciousness.
That is how you and I change this great energy gestalt one person at a time towards love, harmony and peace and make the world a safer place for us all.
But we need to love people…. love them anyway however obnoxious or foul they might seem to us at certain times if not for most of the time.
And we just need to know and accept that those in a fearful space will behave in a fearful and disrespecting way.
There is no rocket science about that.
However, those who take our hand of love can be healed as much as ourselves when we stretch out that hand to them.
Be the bridge of love in people’s lives.
And see how your life changes in the process.
That’s the pay back.
It is the universe’s way of showing you that all the good you do in the world to others is also done to you.
Those who might appear the hardest and the trickiest to love are the ones in most need of it.
Just as we find it so hard at times to love aspects of ourselves and yet those aspects are most in need of healing love.
Love all people… and see your life and the lives of others change.
So dear and beautiful friend… do open your heart and share what is going on for you on this subject or any subject

HONOURING THE EYES OF LOVE OF ANOTHER
Posted by admin | Filed under Inspirational
By Nick Ralls
I look deeply and lovingly into the eyes of all others… the eyes are the window to the soul, the landing strip to the heart where the soul dwells… and I know when I look into the eyes of another I gaze into the beauty of their soul and I see, as well as feel, our oneness.
OUR eyes are the windows to our soul… the landing strip to our beautiful heart.
And yet so often when we observe others, pass others by we do not connect at eye level.
So miss one of the most beautiful forms of human connection… and we miss out on gazing into the soul of another.
Every time we can make eye contact with another it is an experience to be cherished, an insight into a fabulous creation… just like us.
It is always regrettable when we look away… it is always a missed opportunity when we avert our gaze and fear what others might think of our intention if we should dare to look into the eyes of another.
Yet when we look into the eyes of another we are glimpsing their soul.
We are honouring and are honoured all at the same time.
Let us resolve to make eye contact with everyone.
Even those we might be afraid of… or those we do not usually make eye contact with.
Let us take the time to look at the beauty of someone through their eyes… notice the colour and the texture of that person’s windows to their soul.
And know that an eye to eye communication is one of the most intimate and self giving experiences we can indulge in.
When we look into the eyes of the other we are on a fast trip to connecting with that person’s soul.
We can see their vulnerability…. and their authenticity all at the same time.
But most of all we can see that they are just like us…. how we are so connected even if we are often told that we are not.
They have the same doubts, fears, insecurities, joys and sorrows.. and when we can stand looking at one another in this deep and loving way we are accepting that person for the magnificent human being they are… without any attention on differences.
Our eyes hold the same…each of us have windows that take us into the same one soul.
Making eye contact is not only the surefire route to soul to soul connection but also shows the other person we are interested in them for who they are.
We are not focusing on their body appearance, on their sexual attractiveness or what might set them apart from others
But we are focusing on that which mirrors our sameness as well as uniqueness in a subtle way…. we all have eyes which reflect the whole range of emotions that we all do share… and lead us into that treasure house of love which is not found in the elements or the world outside but inside the human heart.
And when we focus on eye connection with others our mouths can break into a smile… smiling is the universal language of positive and loving connection.
It is the way we make both ourselves and others feel better and feel lighter as they go about their day.
So dear and beautiful friend… do open your heart and share what is going on for you on this subject or any subject

Never Judge Someone
Posted by admin | Filed under Inspirational
I don’t know if the story is true, but the true meaning sure is……………this is beautiful…………keep it going……….
Never judge someone…
‘Some people!’ snorted a man standing behind me in the long line at the grocery store. ‘You would think the manager would pay attention and open another line, ‘said a woman.
I looked to the front of the line to see what the hold up was and saw a well dressed, young woman, trying to get the machine to accept her credit card. No matter how many times she swiped it, the machine kept rejecting it.
‘It’s one of them welfare card things. Damn people need to get a job like everyone else,’ said the man standing behind me.
The young woman turned around to see who had made the comment.
It was me,’ he said, pointing to himself.
The young lady’s face began to change expression. Almost in tears, she dropped the welfare card onto the counter and quickly walked out of the store. Everyone in the checkout line watched as she began running to her car. Never looking back, she got in and drove way.
After developing cancer in 1977 and having had to use food stamps; I had learned never to judge anyone, without knowing the circumstances of their life. This turned out to be the case today.
Several minutes later a young man walked into the store. He went up to the cashier and asked if she had seen the woman. After describing her, the cashier told him that she had run out of the store, got into her car, and drove away.
‘Why would she do that?’ asked the man. Everyone in the line looked around at the fellow who had made the statement. ‘I made a stupid comment about the welfare card she was using. Something I shouldn’t have said. I’m sorry,’ said the man.
‘Well, that’s bad, real bad, in fact. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan two years ago. He had three young children and she has taken on that responsibility. She’s twenty years old, single, and now has three children to support,’ he said in a very firm voice.
‘I’m really truly sorry. I didn’t know,’ he replied, Shaking both his hands about.
The young man asked, ‘Are these paid for?’ pointing to the shopping cart full of groceries..
‘It wouldn’t take her card’ the clerk told him.
‘Do you know where she lives?’ asked the man who had made the comment.
‘Yes, she goes to our church.’
‘Excuse me,’ he said as he made his way to the front of the line. He pulled out his wallet, took out his credit card and told the cashier, ‘Please use my card. PLEASE!’ The clerk took his credit card and began to ring up the young woman’s groceries.
Hold on,’ said the gentleman. He walked back to his shopping cart and began loading his own groceries onto the belt to be included. ‘Come on people. We got three kids to help raise!’ he told everyone in line.
Everyone began to place their groceries onto the fast moving belt. A few customers began bagging the food and placing it into separate carts.. ‘Go back and get two big turkeys,’ yelled a heavyset woman, as she looked at the man.
‘NO,’ yelled the man. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. The entire store became quiet for several seconds. ‘Four turkeys,’ yelled the man. Everyone began laughing and went back to work.
When all was said and done, the man paid a total of $1,646.57 for the groceries. He then walked over to the side, pulled out his check book, and began writing a check using the bags of dog food piled near the front of the store for a writing surface. He
Turned around and handed the check to the young man. ‘She will need a freezer and a few other things as well,’ he told the man.
The young man looked at the check and said, ‘This is really very generous of you.’
‘No, ‘ said the man. ‘Her brother was the generous one.’
Everyone in the store had been observing the odd commotion and began to clap. And I drove home that day feeling very American.
We live in the Land of the free, because of the Brave!!
Remember our Troops of Yesterday and Today!!!
A great example of why we should be kind and patient. Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear.
May God’s many blessings continue to be with you – ALWAYS!!!
MAY THIS KEEP GOING….
IT WILL OPEN A LOT OF EYES,
HOPEFULLY HEARTS,
AND KEEP SOME MOUTHS SHUT..

WHEN WILL YOU FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF? MAKE IT RIGHT NOW!
Posted by admin | Filed under Inspirational, self help
By Nick Ralls
I do not put off feeling good about myself…. I reject the notion that I can only feel good about myself once I have the right relationship, the good job, the dream house or the sports car. I recognise that I can feel good about myself right now because I can feel the richness of my own heart.
SO many of us put off feeling good about ourselves until later.
We believe that we can only feel good when we have the right relationship, the career, the money, the nice house, the sports car… and not before.
How can we feel good when we are not in a romantic relationship?
And don’t talk to me about feeling good when I do not have enough money in the bank to pay for my food next week, let alone a vacation
How can I feel good when my car is clapped out and my house is not as good as those of my work colleagues?
Just how could I possibly feel good because I cannot get a decent job?
But we need so much to feel good about ourselves right now.
It does not matter what we have, it is enough to know that we have the beauty and truth and goodness of ourselves… and that is something to really feel good about.
And when we have this energy of feeling good about ourselves.. loving ourselves unconditionally.. we attract into our lives all those things that we do not now believe we lack.
OK we might not have the great relationship or job or living environment… but this does not mean all of this is not on its way.
It does not mean we don’t deserve this or will never get this.. some time soon.
The more we focus our attention on not having this or that the more we will bring about the experiences of not having, of lacking or being deprived of.
But when we turn our focus and attention to just how good we are, just how abundant we are, and how while we might not have the money in the bank the real treasure is the love that is in our heart then we draw into our lives all the physical expressions of what is contained in our heart.
And we bring into our lives the money we need as well as the relationship we need to fulfill our life purpose.
We live in an abundant universe.
And we bring into our lives that which we are… in other words, that which we feel about ourselves and that which we believe is true of ourselves.
If we want more money we have to see ourselves as rich in all aspects of life, which is true.
If we want the dream relationship, then we have to believe we are worthy and so desirable that people will be queuing at our door.
And as we thinketh, so it becomes true for us.
This is not a cliche.
It is the truth of the universe.
Like attracts like.
So rich people attract rich things.
Loving people attract loving people.
People who feel good about themselves bring into their lives things that are good.
And, unfortunately, the opposite is true also.
We need to feel good about ourselves because there is so much good in us.
We do not need something outside of us to suddenly feel good.
If we believe that getting married would complete us, then it might be once we are married we will then need something else to complete us.. and we will never be satisfied and always feeling that we lack things.
But the moment we decide to feel good about ourselves because we are here, our life changes.
Why not feel good about the miracle that you are?
Why not feel good about the fact that you were created to be on this planet in this time to love and be loved… which is the truth, of course?
Instead of focusing on what we have not got, what we have not achieved, what we might never have, let us now turn out thinking to just what we have got, what we have achieved and what we will most certainly have… that is, if we abandon this negative thinking!
We can make quite a list.
The positive list in all of our lives will outweigh the negative even if we seem mortified or unduly focused on the gloomy side of life.
OK things could be better… but then they could be a lot worse.
And it is a great idea not to put off feeling good about yourself… give yourself a hug right now and proclaim: I am the BEST ME!
You won’t be wrong!

Hope Is All You Need
Posted by admin | Filed under Inspirational
There have been a great many topics posted on this blog, topics from hypnosis to the Law of Attraction. Throughout all these topics there seems to be an underlying theme to all of them.
This theme is hope. Whether your beliefs are of a universal, spiritual, or otherwise, hope is what these beliefs give you. If you had no hope for the present or future, there would be no point to going on.
This may seem to be a simplistic idea, however, many self-help, spiritual, and personal development books or courses all give individuals that underlying factor, hope. The courses, books, etc. are just repackaged with a different author, name, or grouping.
For example, the people named on the pages of this site are all people that have helped me through a book or course; therefore I recommend you take a look at them. However, if you do not believe in the law of attraction you certainly would not want to get to know Esther and Jerry Hicks.
I am a self-help junkie and find great meaning in much of what I read and study across the board. The final word for all of these self-help panaceas is hope. Without hope there would be no life to live, nothing to look forward to,
Without hope there would just leave the inevitability of death. If an individual does not find things to improve upon, or things they want to change, hope would be absent. The lack of hope would leave an individual with a great void.
When you are reading or studying your next self-help or personal development tool, compare it to the last you’ve read and then the one before that. You will find that they all fill that one need and that is hope.
This is not to say stop developing yourself personally, it is just saying, notice a theme in what tool you are using and if you keep trying to get hope, perhaps listing your hopes will help you first.

Steps For A Rewarding Meaningful Life
Posted by admin | Filed under Inspirational
I submitted a post entitled The Boss a few days ago, it was from Earl Nightingale’s “Start Here.” I received it in an email and felt that it was a great motivator for anyone struggling in the life or their work environment.
In that same email came a set of four steps to follow for one year that would make you a different person, living a rich, rewarding, and meaningful life. These are the steps:
1. Remember that your rewards in life are in exact proportion to your service. Increase your service to others and your rewards will increase in proportion.
2. Give your work a larger percent of your capabilities and talents to serve “the boss.”
3. Treat others in every facet of your life as you want others to treat you. If you expect others to give you excellent products and services for the money you and your family earn, make certain that your job is handled as excellently as it is possible for you.
4. Find some way every day in which your work can be improved to benefit “the boss.”
What I liked about these steps is that it does not matter whom you consider your boss. Whether it is your boss at work, yourself, or your higher power, these steps can apply to them all. If you are needing and desiring a change in your life, try these steps for a year and see how your life changes.

The Boss – Excellent Thoughts For The New Year
Posted by admin | Filed under Inspirational
This came across in an email to me and I could not help but share. It is a little long but does contain some great thoughts to start 2010 off…………. Happy New Year!
The Boss
I want to tell you a little story that could make a wonderful difference in your life. You may already know about everything I’m going to tell you. If you do, you’re a remarkable person, and according to the latest statistics you belong to the top 5% of all the working people in the world. You’re to be congratulated. If you don’t know about the things I’m going to say, you’ve been holding yourself back, not only on the job but you’re also missing a big percentage of the greatest joy in life. I want to talk about your boss and your relationship with him. How you handle this relationship will determine your success or failure. It will determine how much money you make or do not make, and it will determine whether you’re a happy person or an unhappy person.
So let’s talk about you and your boss. Who is your boss? You have only one and every working person, from the president of the largest corporation to the shoeshine boy, has the same boss. He is simply the customer. There never has been, there is not now, and there never will be any boss but the customer. He is the one boss you must please. Everything you own he has paid for. He buys your home, your cars, your clothes. He pays for your vacations and puts your children through school. He pays your doctor bills and writes every paycheck you will ever receive. He will give you every promotion you will ever obtain during your lifetime, and he will discharge you if you displease him.
Sometimes, particularly these days of seemingly complex economics and big business, we lose sight of just what business is. It all started back during the most primitive times. A man, in order to fend for himself and his family, had to provide his own food and his own shelter. He had to do his own fighting and fashion his own rough clothes and crude weapons for hunting and materials for fishing. Later he had to manufacture his own farming implements. In short, each person had to personally take care of every department of his or her life.
Naturally it came about that men and women with certain talents appeared. One person was particularly adept at fashioning spears, another at fishing, another at hunting, another at making garments, and so on. It was only natural that soon these individuals found that they could best spend most of their time in the pursuit of that at which they were most talented and trade their production for the production of others.
As a result, the person who made spears found that others would give him a share of their food, clothing, and so on, if he’d provide them with spears. Thus, trade and commerce began. It’s far more complex today but still based on the same principle. A person’s money is the result of his production, and he trades it for things he needs and wants. And it’s here that logical discrimination comes into the picture.
Since his money is the result of his work, it’s left to his discretion as to where he spends it. It is here that he assumes the role of boss. He will spend his money only with those whom he feels have earned it. And this is as it should be. You and I are exactly the same way. If someone treats you badly in any way, you instinctively feel that he has not earned your business and you will withhold it from him.
Over a period of time this amounts to a really substantial penalty. Let’s say a family spends $100 a week for food, and because they’ve been mistreated or even get the feeling they’re not appreciated or liked, they stop doing business at one store and take their business to another one. That’s a penalty to one store of $5,200 a year and an increase of that amount at another store. In 10 years it amounts to $52,000. This amount of money can be lost by not realizing who the boss really is. The same thing applies to our clothes, drug items, hardware, cleaning, gasoline, automobiles, everything we purchase.
The average family earns more than $42,000 a year. This money pays your salary and mine if we earn it. And our prosperity as individuals hinges directly on our attitude toward what we do for a living. The man who works on an automotive assembly line might not think much about the car at the point of sale, nor about the family who will eventually buy and travel in that car. But that family pays his salary, and they will withhold the purchase of the car on which he works if it does not earn their respect and admiration.
If you doubt this even for a moment, think of the cars that once were popular and that can no longer be seen on the road. This applies to all products. Having earned a successful place in the economy should not be confused with keeping it. It must be earned every day, year in, year out. There’s not a single company that could not go out of business. Everything depends on how the boss is treated, the boss being the customer. And yet the customer is eminently fair, just as you are. He can be won back, and if he’s treated with the importance that he deserves, he can in a few years bring a lot of other people into your place of business.
Let me tell you something you may not have thought about. If you get in your car and start driving across the country, you will pass many thousands of businesses, from small restaurants, drug stores, grocery stores, gas stations, to great sprawling corporate complexes covering hundreds of acres and employing thousands of people. By simply looking at each one you can tell how they’re treating the boss.
Did you know that your rewards are in exact proportion to your service? That’s right. We’re paid exactly what we earn, but no more. And you can tell by looking at any business exactly what it has earned by seeing what it has. It’s the same with people. We get back exactly what we earn, but not a penny more. And this, again, is just the way it should be. A person might be underpaid for a while, but the scales of life must balance eventually and he will, in the end, receive just what he’s earned.
There are of course two ways in which we’re paid for what we do. One is tangible in the form of money, and the other is intangible, but just as important. To many it’s more important. This latter form of payment comes in the form of inner satisfaction, in the form of joy as a result of accomplishment. It also comes in the form of satisfaction in position and the standing it gives us.
So each of us is paid in these two ways: money and satisfaction. And there’s a very simple way to increase both of these forms of income. You may wonder how I can say that I can tell you of a simple way to increase your income from the standpoint of money as well as inner satisfaction. Yet I can, and you’ll be able to see and spend the results.
First, I want you to understand and believe completely the great law that lies as the foundation of all life, business and personal. It is that our rewards in life will be in exact proportion to our service. The more you think about this and observe people and businesses in their true light, the more you’ll see the undeniable truth of it.
Try as best you can to estimate the proportion of your total ability you have been giving to your work. I don’t think anyone gives 100%. I don’t think it’s possible to give 100% day in and day out. But estimate what you consider to be the percentage of 100% you have been giving to your work. Would you say it’s been 30%? 50%?
Since your rewards will be in exact proportion to your service, you can increase your income both financially and from an inner satisfaction standpoint simply by narrowing the distance between what you have been giving to your work and the 100% of which it may be said you could give under ideal conditions. You don’t have to ask for a raise; the income will appear of its own accord and in the right time. You may want to question this, but try to take my word for it.
The second point I want to make is this: If you will begin to do your work better, better than you’ve ever done before, you will immediately begin to receive incalculably more inner satisfaction. You’ll also find that what may have been a boring or uninteresting job will take on new meaning and interest. No matter what it is that you do during the entire working day, try in every case to do a little more than you have to, more than you’re being paid for. Because unless you do more than you’re being paid for now, you can’t hope for or justify an increase in pay.
The third point is, each of us is interdependent. As I pointed out earlier, other people pay our salaries, buy our homes, clothes, feed, and educate our children. Therefore we depend on others for our very lives, just as they must depend on us. If we expect others to give us excellent service and fine products for the money we spend, doesn’t it make good sense that we should treat them the same way? Every hour spent at our work should be spent in the attempt to give the best of which we are capable, a baker’s dozen for the money our company’s customers spend for our products and services and with which our salaries are paid.
A person who tries to get the maximum return for the minimum of effort is only kidding himself. Sooner or later the scales will balance. They must, for that is the law whether we like it or not. This kind of individual actually shrinks as a person, as a human being. He has no real place in a dynamic and swiftly changing world.
The fourth point is to try each day to find some way in which the work you’re doing can be improved. Here again you’re guaranteeing an increase in your income in both categories. We all know the cynical type of individual who will laugh at this. I know them; you know them. But I don’t know one who could be said to be doing well, do you?
I know lots of men and women at the top of their fields who live their lives every day in the way I have suggested. Rather than go along with someone who’s never proved in his own life that he knows what he’s talking about, I’d prefer to believe the one who said, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” I feel, as I’m sure you do, that he was more qualified to speak than the know-it-all who is behind in his installment payments.
Anyway, it’s worth a test. If you’ll follow my suggestions for the next year, you’ll be a different person, living a rich, rewarding, and meaningful life. Four things, all of them simple.
One, remember that our rewards in life will be in exact proportion to our service.
Two, by giving your work a larger percentage of your capabilities and talents, you will, you must, increase your income substantially.
Three, since our lives depend on others, treat others in every facet of your life exactly as you want others to treat you. If you expect others to give you excellent products and services for the money you and your family spend, then you should make certain that your job is handled as excellently as it is possible for you, since it is the money of others that pays your salary.
Four, try to find some way every day in which your work can be improved. And above all, know your boss. He’s the customer. Treat him with the respect, care, courtesy, and good humor he deserves. Remember, he pays all your bills every month. He will buy everything you will ever own. He may be coarse, crude, ignorant, selfish, conniving, and a thoroughgoing savage. He often will be. Here it is more important than ever that you treat him with all the care and attention you can muster. If you don’t and if you permit his attitude to affect yours, you’re admitting that he’s the stronger person. If you respond the same way he conducts himself, you’re admitting you’re no better than he is.
Most people, however, are nice people. They’re people like you and me who want to be liked and want to get along, who want to be friends. They have problems and sorrows of their own about which we’re not aware. They have bad days and disappointments. Make sure that the time they’re with you is a high spot in their day and that they’ll want to come back, not just because of your company, but because of you.
If you’ll do these things for a year, you’ll be surprised and delighted, and you’ll find you wouldn’t live any other way for the world. If you’re already living this way, you know what I mean.
