Maybe I am selfish, childish, immature, irrational, illogical, emotional, sensitive, imbalanced, prude, inexperienced, argumentative, ball-busting and un-matrixy but that is the beauty of life. I am me.
"Man is neither entirely a puppet of the gods,nor is he entirely the captain of his own destiny; he's a little of both. (freewill) We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on 2 speeding side-by-side horses - one foot is on the horse called 'fate', the other on the horse called 'free will'. And the questions you have to ask every day is, Which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort? "
I choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life and if I will see them as curses or opportunities.
I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak them
Most importantly, I can choose my thoughts.
I know better. I can do anything. I can finish this myself, it isn't only possible. It is essential: I forgive myself and I let go.
I learn how to discipline my speech preventing my energies from spilling out of me through the rupture of my mouth, exhausting me and filling the world with words, words, words instead of serenity, peace and bliss.
If God wanted me to be a ditzy, shy, american girl with thin blond hair, he would have made me that way, but he didn't. I accept how I was made and embody myself fully therein- working within my personality. I am a work in progress, evolving, learning, growing...
Everything - for no reason whatsoever - is perfect.
I see the best in everyone. I assume that everyone is emotionally capable of REACHING their highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and then I have hung on for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness.
If I'm truly to beome an autonomous woman, then I must take over that role of being my own guardian...women should strive to become like the men they had always wanted to marry.
I encourage you to lose balance sometimes for love, for emotions, for people that you have some sort of connection with because sometimes you must do this in order to live a balanced life.
Your treasure - your perfection - is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the busy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.
Eat, Pray, Love.

Acceptance by the majority...is a false ideal,a spiritual pipe dream,a cloud of smoke that will always dissipate.
There is a great comfort to be felt when we love ourselves. We have surrendered to "what/who/why/how" is inherently us. No longer taking offense to criticism,no more feeling without purpose.
Our potential as human beings is without boundaries-there are no lines on the floor that cannot be stepped-over. No borders, no "highest level".
We need to believe in ourselves before anyone else can. Others may share the same vision, the think-tank sparring ideas to-and-fro, back-and-forth, up-down-sideways.
Realizing your true potential and accepting your intrinsic, unique nature are your most precious attributes.
This piece is esoteric as well as exoteric. Simple and complex. Diverse and rationed.
It is the mind that knows and is in charge. Acceptance and love of self is instrumental to personal success. Proper training and "preventive maintenance" keep the conscious and subconscious acutely,finely-tuned,connected to our respective perceptions. We are not necessarily a product of our environment, rather our environment is what we make it,of our own personal choosing. We can be influenced by a great deal of things exteriorly but personal change can only come from within,not without.
Sensual delight for the taste buds or sustenance of the aggregates of which conscious and form are so vitally linked with?
Audible words or silent thought processing? Which do you choose? Which means more?
A calm,tranquil mind cannot be permeated by outside phenomena. This mind knows the true nature of things.
You are in tune with your misunderstood frequencies-they make perfect,crystal-clear sense to you and sound immaculate to your ears whereas it is only distortion and static to others.
As long as you understand yourself,nothing else should matter. Nothing!
Thought stimulation keeps the grass green and the air we breathe clear. It enhances our moods,improves our perceptions.
When we choose to change,it naturally will happen,we make it happen. Out with the old-in with the new. We gather past experiences to create deeper wisdom,it is always a work in itself,it never ceases to change, evolve,progress-it is constantly dynamic.
In all my years only one thing has been or remains unchanged: my determination to improve. We are offered this opportunity daily and we must grab it. Turn the negative to positive, even the neutral to positive. Take that extra step-don't allow a rogue thought running around in your mind to distract the current thought-stay on this course, know single-pointedness and remain straight on! Understand when another thought intrusion is about to occur and eliminate it before it is allowed to take a foothold. Concentration-your mind will get it-think here and just make your toes wiggle. That was fast wasnt it? Same goes for eliminating negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones! Sheer brilliance.
Do any of you know her?
