A small girl

A small girl looked up at a star and began to weep

And
The star said girl, why are you weeping?
And
The girl said you are so far away
I will never be able to touch you
And the star answered girl
If I were not already in your heart you would not be able to see me

- John Maglolia

LETTING GO
This is just an experience. I am here on earth to have experiences. Nothing is wrong

My higher self knows what is going on. This situation is for my benefit, even if I cant see
that now.

My fear my come true, but the outcome will not destroy me. It may be even good. I will
wait and see.

I am having a strong reaction now, but it isn’t the real me. it will pass

Whatever I am afraid of losing is meant to go. I will be better of when new energies come
in. whatever fear says, nothing can destroy me.

When people fall then do not break, they bounce.

Change is inevitable resisting change doesnot work.

There is some thing here for me, if I have the awareness to find it.

The things I fear must have already happened.

I donot want to hold on anymore . my purpose is to let go and welcome what is to come.

God is on my side therefore I am safe.

AFTER A WHILE
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and changing a soul.

 And you learn that love doent mean leaning and company doents mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses anrent contracts and presents arnt promises.

And you begin to accept defeats with yopur head up and your eyes open.
With the grace of an adult and not the grief of a child.

And you begin to build all your roads on today because tomorrows ground is too
uncertain for plans.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much

So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting someone to
bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure that you are strong and that you really do have
worth.

 Every thing in the outer world contains a message about the inner world.
 When you blame and criticize others you are avoiding some truth about yourself
 Innocence is the ability to give and receive love without holding on.
 If you create any open space within yourself love will fill it.
 To love innocently is to allow others to express who they are.
 Surrender means not giving in to another but giving into love.
 You will have no enemies once to decide to surrender.
 Negativity is born in the gap where love has been excluded.
 Gaps occur in places where we are afraid to see ourselves.
 Forgiveness in the heart comes out about when the wall of separation of mind
falls.
 Forgiveness is born of increased awareness the more you can see the more it is to
forgive.
 The person you call an enemy exaggerated aspect of your own shadow self.
 Any desire to grow is following the flow of love.
 Real change is accompanied by new insight.
 Love is not opposite of hate. Being whole love has no opposites.
 A heart that has learned to trust can be at rest in the world.
Maturity

Maturity is the ability to control your temper and settle differences without anger
violence or destruction.

Maturity is the patience, willingness to pass up immediate pleasures for future plans

Maturity is the perseverance to sweat out a project or a situation inspite of opposition and
setbacks.

Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness, frustration, discomfort or defeat without

complaint or collapse.

Maturity is the humility being big enough to say 'I was wrong' and knowing when not to
say 'I was told so'.

Maturity is the ability to make a logical sound and practical decision and stand by it and
see it through fruition.

Maturity is dependability. Keeping one's head high during crisis and not allowing your
own and others morale to flag or fall.

Maturity is accepting others for what they are and despite them for what they are
supposed to be.

Maturity is the art of living in peace with one’s self, with what we cannot change and
courage to change that which should be changed, and wisdom to know the difference.

Maturity is shedding our prejudices and having an open and receptive mind, not only
questioning a stance.

Maturity is knowing that sacrifice of personal whims and fancies is necessary to be able
to live a fuller life in a civilized society.

The man in the glass:

When you get what you want in your struggle for self and the world makes you a king for
a day just go to a mirror and look at yourself and see what that man has to say. For it is
not your father or mother or wife whose judgment open you must pass. The fellow whose
verdict count must in your life is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may
thing you a straight shooting churn and call you a wonderful guy, but the man in the4
glass says you are only born if you cant look him straight in the eye. He’s the fellow to
please never mind all the rest for he is with you clear upto the end and you have passed
your most difficult and dangerous test. If the man in the glass is your friend you may fool
the whole world down the pathway of life and get pats on your back as you pass. But
your final rewards will be heart touches and tears if you have cheated the man in the
glass.

Failure does not mean you are a failure. It does mean you have not succeeded it.
Failure does not mean you have accomplished nothing. It does mean you have learned
something. Failure does not mean you have been a fool. It does mean you have lots of
faith. Failure does not mean you don’t have it does mean you have to do it in a different
way. Failure does not mean you are inferior, it does mean you are not perfect. Failure
does not mean you have wasted your life. It does mean you have a reason to start again.
Failure does not mean you should give up it does mean you should try harder. Failure
does not mean you will never make it does mean it will take a little longer. Failure does
not mean GOD has abandoned you it does means GOD has a better idea.

• Instead of telling yourself that your emotion is bad ask what it has to tell you
every emotion exists for a reason and the reason is always to help you. Emotions
are here to serve.
• Instead of pushing an emotion away, tell it you want to have a closer look. Ask it
to reveal itself from behind its mask. Very often you will find that the emotions
are layered. Ex: Anger marks fear, Fear marks hurt getting past an emotion means
getting through its layers. The root.
• If a feeling is overwhelming, say to yourself, “I want to ride this out before I look
at it”. Realize that the overwhelming feeling isn’t the real you, its something
you’re going through.
• If you recognize that certain situations always bring the same reaction, ask what
you need to learn in order for the reaction to change repetition is like a knock on
the door- it stops when you open the door and greet what’s on the other side.
• Whenever you find yourself drawing a line in the stand and stop doing it and
resisting only makes things worse emotions come and go. The best way not to
drown is to ride the wave.
