Words or Actions


What makes you feel peaceful after you have acted on it is generally the right thing. If you have an active conscience, it will tell you when you need to repair damage done through your words or actions.
As you move on in life, it is your feelings that will indicate your path. Feel guilty? Then there is work to be done angry and also happy? Then you are on the right track.
So, instead of judging others, look inside yourself. And ask, is there work in progress or has it slowed down or completely packed up?

Personal energy


Taking the blame heaped on you by others is not necessary. Life is complicated but we can make it simpler by just choosing happiness over conflict and drama which gets to be exhausting. It is impractical to expect anyone to understand our levels of exhaustion, and therefore, better to sweep our energy clear of anything that causes any dents in our peace even if it means keeping to oneself and saving valuable personal energy.

Happy energy


Who is the enemy? Over a lifetime, we develop enmity with a few people extreme word and also a deeper form of dislike. We often remark,” With such friends, you don’t need enemies”. And you begin to stay away from these few people, get restless when you see them or have to be within their vicinity.
But, who is the real enemy here? The actual enemy is within. It is that negative patch of dislike that WE harbor for someone. And because we have not been able to cleanse it, it reflects in the others. Just as, if you hate your face in the mirror and try to hit it, it is your hand that will bleed. And once you heal your hand, the mirror reflection will also show a healed hand.
Hence, don’t look for external enemies. The enemy within you is your memory reactions. That’s all. Good to
Just let go of those memories or transmute them into happy energy.

Choices


How much we suppress ourselves because the people around us get used to a set image of us! It is really incredible, isn't it? And you automatically match that image because it is "expected" of you. But YOU may not get the same from others. When you conform, you have to continue to conform, or run the risk of heavy criticism and build a steel armor for yourself for it.
I had to share this post because I do believe we shy away from growing because it means change and too many boats can get rocked. The choice may not be easy, but to grow is the purpose of the soul and why it has come here in the first place. Actually, therefore, there IS no choice.

The Universe


The Universe is buzzing around us, giving us so many opportunities, so much support, so many kindred souls to help . Yet, we are unable to move forward and create experiences at an optimum level. Our eyes scan far away horizons when everything is so close. Perhaps, that is why we can't see it. It is too close .
The formulae for our well being are also perhaps as simple as the gifts from the universe are closer than we think or we know. We simply look in the wrong place.
Reminds me of the woman who lost her needle inside her hut but was looking for it outside in her yard only because the light was in the yard, while her hut was dark.
Similarly, we also look to raising our vibrations through external sources whereas the tools lie within us. We constantly look in the wrong place.

Happiness

The purest of emotions in the world today is good will. Where people live more within their dark side, to have good will and be happy for someone else is amazing. When you hear people in conversation, the most common topic is about people running down people and hating the success of others. Why?
A lack of contentment mostly, with one's own lot. An inability to run through the chapters of the book of life of others, failing to remember their dark days and envying their bright spots. Very sad! And that's probably why it is so refreshing to find those odd ones who really prop you up and don't grudge you a little happiness. In fact, they share it.
May the tribe of such people increase!

Presumptions

Presumptions and misunderstandings have a close relationship. If you understand something or someone, you will make assumptions on the fact that you know and understand and can therefore, predict to an extent.
But when you misunderstand, that can be based on your expectations of people, people you could sometimes be colored and prejudiced about. Actions in this case may be misunderstood and hence, incorrect presumptions made, guillotining someone who may be more innocent than guilty.
We often mete out undue injustice in this way and should train ourselves to observe rather than involve in emotional leanings that might prevent clear thinking and damage relationships. We all live and learn. To correct faulty patterns is not impossible.
