Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.

If you start your day by holding on to the hurts and wounds of the past, there will be no room left in your present life for love, joy, peace, good health, and fulfillment.”

If there is one thing the world is really good at, that is distracting us from the things that are truly valuable and essential in life. The world keeps you occupied, but never truly satisfied; always striving, but never arriving – to an actual fulfilling and loving place. And when you’re always busy with doing more and wanting more – of the things you don’t really need, but can’t get enough of – chances are that you will have little, to no energy left to pay attention to what’s really...

Whoever said Women are the weaker sex did not know what they were talking about. For what is a Woman if not a Tower of Power? What is a Woman if not the Center of Love and the Heart of it All? What is a Woman if not The One who Gives Life to all Life?

“The fact is, many people do not know how to treat themselves and are experts at putting themselves down. In fact, if most of us were in a relationship with ourselves, we would break up with us, given how badly we treat ourselves.” ~ Dr. Ramani Durvasula

When the mystics talk about union with God, they talk about the Self returning to its Self. No longer confusing this garment we call body for the truth of who we are. And no longer believing the outside world to be all there is to life. As it so beautifully written in the great Tao Te Ching, each separate being in the universe - yourself including - returns to the common source.

Are you holding onto something that needs to go? Is your clinging and attachment keeping you from fully living life, loving all and being free?

All the power to forgive is inside you at this very moment. To release all the pain and suffering. To heal the wounds. It starts with a choice and then doing the work anytime the feelings rise up. Do you want to continue doing things as you’ve always done or do you want to step into your power and rise up? The choice is yours.

Letting Go Quotes

17 Pins

Prayer is an act of surrender. We don’t pray because we are religious. We pray because something within ourselves longs for something bigger, nobler, and more sacred than anything this world has to offer…

1. Make peace with where you are 2. Forgive yourself. 3. Be patient. 4. Don’t settle for anything less than your worth. 5. Learn to let go. 6. Work on creating a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that only looks good on the outside. 7. Surrender to what is. 8. Free your mind from anger and resentment. 9. Stay humble. 10. Enjoy the simple things in life. 11. Fall back in love with yourself.

We all go through difficult times. We all experience pain, loss, fear, darkness, and sorrow. And even though the tendency is to run away and escape from all these unwanted feelings, we can’t. Difficult times are part of life.

If just two words could summarize the guiding principle of my entire childhood, they would be: “Be sweet!” It was the message I heard every day being dropped off at kindergarten. They were the words that followed me as I walked out the door to go hang out with friends. Apparently I couldn’t be trusted to listen to my own instincts when it came to interpersonal matters. Being sweet was the only option on the table.

1. When you learn to stand up for yourself 2. When you start setting boundaries and start saying no' 3. When you no longer put yourself down, over and over again 4. When you realize you are the most important person in your life 5. When you stop giving way more than you get 6. When you break your addiction to the past

Let Go

If you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you’d be surprised by how well things can work out . . . Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won’t make us happier. ~ Randy Pausch

⁣”You once told me⁣ You wanted to find⁣ Yourself in the world –⁣ And I told you to⁣ First apply within,⁣ To discover the world⁣ within you.⁣ ⁣ You once told me⁣ You wanted to save⁣ The world from all its wars –⁣ And I told you to⁣ First save yourself⁣ From the world,⁣ And all the wars⁣ You put yourself⁣ Through.⁣” ⁣ ~ by Suzy Kassem

Learning is a life-long process. “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” (Henry Ford)

Promise Yourself

54 Pins

There is a very important distinction between how you feel loved, and how your partner experiences the love you give. No two people experience love in exactly the same way, so you cannot presume the love you offer is in perfect alignment with what your partner needs.

The promises we make to ourselves are sacred. For they give value to our words and reveal to the whole world how much we deep down inside think that we are actually worth.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Through these promises, we learn about the value of honoring our words with actions, but also the importance of keeping the commitments we make to ourselves.⁣

RALPH WALDO EMERSON There are so many valuable and life changing lessons to learn from Ralph Waldo Emerson and today I am going to share with you 33 of these lessons.

⁣⁣⁣Reflect on your mortality and on everyone else’s mortality. Because just as Elisabeth Kübler- Ross said, “It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on Earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we will begin to live each day to the fullest as if it were the only one we had.” 15 Things You Should Give Up to Be Happy: An Inspiring Guide to Discovering Effortless Joy🕊

Reflect on the transitory nature of life. Remind yourself that nothing in this life is yours to keep, that everything in life has a beginning and an end, that nothing lasts forever and that eventually everything fades away. Remind yourself as often as possible that happiness can never be found in clinging, that it can only be found in letting go.

In a world that teaches us to constantly place our energy and attention outside ourselves, and mostly never within ourselves, it takes great courage to face yourself. It takes great courage to admit to yourself that maybe, you and your life are in need of healing. And that maybe, the path you have been walking for so long isn’t exactly the right path for you.

You let go of your past, not because you are weak; not because you no longer care. But because you are strong enough to realize that the story of your past does not have to become the story of your life

Many of us feel overwhelmed, tired, or even fearful. There are solutions to turn all of these feelings back into alignment. The first step is recognizing which feeling it is and keep going. Often times, the easiest solution is JUST DO SOMETHING. Forward action cures fear. Forward action helps us knock off one more brick in the mountain of overwhelming tasks. Forward action can be as simple as taking a nap, buying a co-worker a cup of coffee, or hugging your family. Just do something!

Deep Questions

When confusion and doubt creeps in, and you’re not sure what action to take, do the loving thing. When life knocks you down – over and over again – and you feel like there’s nothing left for you to do, do the loving thing. No matter what comes your way, do the loving thing. Plant the seeds of love, and in time, you will reap a great harvest.

“One problem with gazing too frequently into the past is that we may turn around to find the future has run out on us.” ~ Michael Cibenko

If you do not know how to bend, you do not know how to be strong. For just as a palm tree who yields in the midst of hurricane winds is not broken, so too a person who knows how to humble herself and yield before the majestic powers of all life will not be broken.
