Our Deepest Fear Is.....

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God! Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine like children do. We are meant to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not in some of us; its in all of us! And as we let our light shine, we unconditionally give others permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"The Prophet" Kahlil Gibran

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children. And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have there own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

"How to solve our human problems"

It is very important to identify the actual cause of whatever unhappiness we feel. If we are forever blaming our difficulties on others, this is a sure sign that there are still many problems and faults within our own mind. If we were truly peaceful inside and had our mind under control, difficult people or circumstances would not be able to disturb this peace, and so we would feel no compulsion to blame anyone or regard them as our enemy.

Examine Life

* Approach life with childlike wonder.

* Engage life with a vengeance without preconception.

* When the mind is engaged, the soul is most alive.

* Grasp life aggressively and squeeze from it every drop of excitement, satisfaction, and joy.

* Always search for new things, new pleasures.

* Something new is always waiting for you: a place you haven't visited, a book you haven't
read, a friend you haven't met, a meal you haven't tasted.

SEVEN KEY POINTS OF HOLISTIC FORGIVENESS

1. Forgiveness means to unconditionally accept that what happened to you, happened, even if you don't understand the karmic perfection of it all!

2. Forgiveness is a self-protection mechanism.

3. You need to forgive so you can free your Self of your past hurts and live in the present moment.

4. Forgiveness DOES NOT mean that you are condoning what happened, only that you refuse to accept it as a toxic influence in your life any longer.

5. Forgiveness occurs when you are ready to release yourself from the past.

6. It's God's job, not yours, to determine justice and retribution for improper behavior for in perfect order, we all shall reap what we have sown (Karma).

7. You need to accept unconditionally that in a perfectly evolving Universe, what happened was "perfect" for the evolution of your immortal soul, even if you don't have the foresight or insight to know why!
