Be kind to yourself

When was the last time you truly noticed how you treat yourself? Listen to the words you use. Are you kind? Are you understanding? Do you accept, resist or reject what is happening? Do you get easily uptight? This is an invitation to care.

Open your heart.  Allow yourself to feel your way through the inner messages you are sending. What if every time you communicate to the world, you are actually inviting yourself to love more unconditionally? Laugh uncontrollably.

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” 

-Mother Teresa

What is emerging?

Even right now, you are taking action that itself makes that action more beautiful. People are conditioned to focus on what they gain on a physical level.  As you begin to awaken, you gain insight into nothing.  You come to feel its the nature of love to express itself, to make itself known and to work through what unfolds.  To feel the world you perceive is love in action allows self to expand.  How to  do it? 

One suggestion is to consider how your views on suffering invite change.  Any call for attention is also a gesture of love.  The love you are exists to expand, deepen consciousness and understanding of being.  When love is withheld, suffering is permitted to spread.  You stop taking for granted dreams can exist without dreamers. You shift to focus on how everything you do is a step to Transform your life.

Clarify the process

Notice the experiences that expand your perception and understanding of love.  What distracts you from the messages of compassion in a given situation?  Where compassion exists, love does too.  Only fear distorts messages of wisdom and compassion into a reason to suppress or ignore the core messages.  Identify the intention behind action.  Intention creates the consequences.  Find the courage to awaken, challenge and heal.  You may find it useful to keep a journal about why certain observations are especially meaningful.

Choose to remember

At a given moment, the conscious mind is selectively aware and selectively forgets.  You either choose to remember certain things or not. Reflect on the reasons you would offer for choosing to remain selectively ignorant or oblivious to certain aspects of self, or certain life experiences.  How does this serve you? What insight do you gain?  Why is this meaningful?  Notice the feelings that emerge or surface.

Every choice has more than one purpose; those of which you grow aware and those from which you hide.  The curious thing is the mind witholds nothing from soul.  There are no such secrets.  Soul is the omnicient watcher that knows the physical you is in process of raising awareness of unfounded fear.  You graduallyawaken to what you are conditioned to think and feel, why you permit mind to convince you of lacks, imbalances or inequalities. These are all illusions.  Explore the frightened parts of your personality.  See the real you as it is.

Its all part of the process of Self-Disclosure.  As you consciously awaken and choose to create changes from within, you notice degrees of cosmic synchronicity and realize you also have unlimited options to Transform Your Life.

Remove the obstructions

Ever wonder how people apparently separated by time and space relay similar or even identical experiences? Sometimes, the mind conjures up fearful thoughts of ownership or possession.  Then, animosity, competition, idea theft and plagerism are imagined into being. 

And yet, beyond mind, nobody has borrowed anything from anyone else.  They connect with the same Source. The fearful and joyous parts of your personality exist side-by-side.  You choose if and when to release them.  The more you choose to free joy, the more you experience it in the external world. Only you can choose to heal frightened parts of personality. Only you choose to feel unlimited joy.

People ask, "how can I experience happiness?" They assume they must change something in circumstances or other people.  In truth, joy is an expression of core being. As you remove obstructions like beliefs, you discern what you are not falls away to reveal who remains.
