Don’t try too hard to be someone. Just be real. In the end that is all that is required of you in life.

Don’t try too hard to be someone. Just be real. In the end that is all that is required of you in life.

Thank you for the abundance of love in my life.
If you want abundance and love, practice seeing and appreciating it wherever it is, fill your being with moments of recognition.
Abundance responds to recognition of abundance.
What we focus on grows.
Even if you feel desolate, and far from abundance, there are things look for things that we take for granted.
Life gives us an abundance of air to breathe, sunshine to warm us, rain to grow, moments to learn, love in our own being.
We can be grateful for silence, for the stable earth under our feet, a warm bed, hot water, people in community and family and friends and and and…
Abundance.

The content of our awareness; what we’re aware of changes, but the context of awareness itself is constant.
It is so constant, that it is one for all of us. The light of awareness with which you experience life, is the same light of awareness with which every one of us experiences life.
No one owns awareness.

Not listening to your inner calling has consequences that lead to suffering.
If you’re not following your truth, what do you really have?

Learning to be kind to ourselves is the most powerful key toward self healing, building self confidence and having better relationships.
When we are judging ourselves for our feelings or our limitations, we can’t receive the learning or compassion that our ‘mistakes’ might teach us.
When we are kind with ourselves we can fortify our capacity to take constructive criticism and gain some ground around things that we know we would like to do better.
With self compassion we have less need to jump to defensiveness and more openness to listen to the truth of others.
In this way, self compassion is anything but selfish.. as it provides a major blessing for our communication in relationships.
Tools to be more kind to yourself:

First things first.. become clear on what your truest intentions are.
What is most important to you in your life? What do you value above all else?
What if you had only one year left to live.. what would you want to focus your life on and make sure is way up there in your reality?
To check in and gain some clarity, some simple things you can do to help you access your knowing from a wiser you are:

Even the cells in our biological being are hardwired for connection. Life exists as inter-connectedness. You are worthy of love. You are love.
Don’t shut yourself off too much. It might keep you safe from being hurt, but disconnection also eats away at your own heart.
Nothing is more important in life than love.
Learning to love and be authentically connected, in the end is all we really want.

This is the nature of life. We cannot ever really hold to anything.
When we do, we are left behind, caught in some past moment that only exists in our memory, our mind.
Life keeps moving; constant impermanence, and at the same time paradoxically it is motionless.
Be in this alive; receiving and letting go flow state of awareness; ever moving ever still.
Here is bliss.

As soon as we might deny our ‘negative’ feelings through overlaying them with positive thinking, we tell our subconscious that something inside is is not allowed and is not acceptable.
What we resist stays and often festers.
True positivity is a state of allowing. Where all feelings can move through and we can love ourselves none the less.
Don’t split yourself in two.
All of you and all of your human experience is lovable.

There is no such thing as one world seen in only one way.
There are thousands, millions, billions of worlds seen through all our different perspectives.
All phenomenal truths are relative. Nothing we can see is fixed and absolute.
