Nothing that has passed can be regained

All that I possess and use

Is like the fleeting vision of a dream.

It fades into the realms of memory;
And fading, will be seen no more.

Nothing that has passed can be regained.

- Shantideva, The Bodhicharyavatara (2.36-39)

When I Need To “Fall Apart”

We don’t always have to be strong to be strong.

Sometimes our strength is expressed in being vulnerable.

Sometimes we need to fall apart to regroup and stay on track.

We all have days when we cannot push any harder, cannot hold back self-doubt, cannot stop focusing on fear, cannot be strong.

There are days when we cannot focus on being responsible.

Occasionally, we don’t want to get out of our pajamas.

Sometimes we cry in front of people, we expose our tiredness, irritability, or anger.

Those days are okay. They are just okay.

Part of taking care of ourselves means we give ourselves permission to “fall apart” when we need to.

We do not need to be perpetual towers of strength.

We ARE strong. We have proven that.

Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable when we need to experience those feelings.

Today, help me to know that is it okay to allow myself to be human.
Help me not to feel guilty or punish myself when I need to “fall apart.”

Shine on you crazy…

Do you shine like a diamond, or coal? Are you someone people want to be around because of your light, or do people avoid your black cloud of darkness?

We never need to prove who we are, but because our actions prove it beyond any shadow of a doubt. Just like a diamond never needs to prove but its sparkle is its proof of the value it has.

If I ever find myself giving excuses for my wrong or negative behavior or words, I need to ask myself if I have shown who I am, or only spoke it. When I do this, I will only grow in my walk for becoming a better person in all circumstances.

Play

“We should indulge in recreation frequently because it rests the mind and certain muscles of the body. Freeing the mind from the strain of daily tasks and the responsibilities of life has untold benefits.

Therefore, every one of us should participate in some form of amusement daily. Everyone should have a hobby. Latent talents and abilities often find expression through hobbies. Within each of us is an urge for self-expression. This urge often finds an outlet in hobbies, because the routine of daily work may not present such opportunities.”

Wake up, it’s you!

Why are we often surprised in certain situations that we experience failure, inspite of putting in our best efforts. At such times just blaming our fate will not help but what we need to do is to

check within ourselves

to see if we have something to change.

A friend shared this with me yesterday.

Every great storm throughout time eventually comes to a conclusion at some point and then the clear weather shows up and the new day begins……you will be fine as long as you

learn from the past

bad weather to protect yourself better in case there ever is another storm that is going to cross your path!

If we experience failure, it means some or the other weakness of ours is definitely working at that time. We need to check and recognize our weakness and be

constantly alert.

If you seem to have the same problems all of the time, wake up, it’s you!

Man up to your fears

When there is fear, there is some kind of danger, either for the self or for others. The one who fears, or the one who doesn’t have the courage to accept and face situations, is not able to bring out the best form within himself. Such a person is constantly thinking of excuses and is trying to blame others for the mistakes that happen.

When I am able to take up responsibility for every situation that I am faced with, I am able to be free from worry or tension. I will then be in a position to learn and so I find progress at every step in my life. I also become an inspiration for all others too to bring about a positive change.

I surrender, white flag

Waving the white flag

This “making peace,” mind you, is not an easy process. It’s a painful process—so painful, in fact, that most persons will do just about anything to avoid it. And that’s why, in order to be truly healed, you have to face your inner vulnerability without hiding behind blaming others. This painful process, if you stick with it courageously and faithfully, leads to the form of healing you can’t get from a bottle, a pill, or anyone else.

What say you?

You didn’t come here to prove your worth or to find a problem and fix it. You came to express your talents and abilities, to realize your dreams. How you interpret things plays a large part in shaping your behavior and how others treat you. Focusing on the negative dulls your energy and ability to cope. No matter how bad a situation seems, find something in it to appreciate. Ask yourself, what good could come from this? What can I learn here? The answers you get show you what to do next.

Grow up!

Life isn’t about success or failure. Although both teach valuable lessons, fulfilling your potential is the essential goal. Adversity can develop strength. If a dream sours, let it go without judgment or remorse. Assume it’s no longer relevant, and look for new options. Even a losing battle can be a stepping-stone to a better situation. Accepting change brings peace of mind.

Relationships are NOT perfect, WAKE UP!

Relationships are like jigsaw puzzles. All the pieces fit together to create the whole. You are not responsible for anyone else, nor are they for you. There’s no guilt, no blame, no shame. Allow things to be as they are. Accept each moment as if you’d chosen it. If someone hurts you, look for what you can learn from it. Holding a grudge drains your energy. Forgiveness doesn’t mean it was okay with you; it means releasing the person’s power to upset you. You may never forget, but letting go of resentment is more productive. This goes double for forgiving yourself.

Move on

Only when you’re at peace with yourself can you make a real contribution to anyone. Live your own truth, be honorable, and intend the best for everyone, including yourself.

Tribute to a fallen Cubs fan

First Cubs fan to sing during the 7th-inning stretch at Wrigley dies of cancer, Dustin Eglseder performed at 2007 game against Pittsburgh
Tribune staff report

GUTTENBERG, Iowa—An eastern Iowa man who won a contest to become the first Chicago Cubs fan to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at Wrigley Field has died from bone cancer.

Dustin Eglseder, 23, died Wednesday, July 16, in his Guttenberg home.

Mr. Eglseder was chosen from thousands of entrants in a contest to sing the song during the seventh-inning stretch against Pittsburgh on Sept. 21, 2007. He played third base in high school, but he also nurtured his voice in high school chorus and chamber choir.

“He stood up in front of 41,000 people and just nailed it,” Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly said at the time.

The Cubs organization then invited Mr. Eglseder and his family to a convention in Chicago in January. He again sang the classic baseball tune, this time to thousands of fans, coaches and players at the opening ceremony.

Mr. Eglseder also was invited by Cubs TV broadcasters to their Wrigley Field booth for an interview in April.

Mr. Eglseder was diagnosed with bone cancer in the spring of 2007, and he had surgery that May to have a bone removed from his right arm. Despite the surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and chemotherapy at University Hospitals in Iowa City, the cancer returned. His arm was amputated in November.

Cubs shortstop Ryan Theriot was one of three Cubs players who called Mr. Eglseder before his surgery and stayed in touch with him afterward.

In a statement Thursday, Cubs spokesman Peter Chase said: “The Cubs were deeply saddened Wednesday to learn of the passing of Dustin Eglseder. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Dustin’s family and friends.

“Throughout his courageous battle with cancer, Dustin repeatedly told us watching the Cubs gave him great joy,” Chase added.

“Dustin was an inspiration to thousands of people. He will live on in our hearts and continue to watch over and root for his Chicago Cubs.”

God bless you and all your family and friends.

Become Angels

The more we become like angels, the more we give great gifts to the world. And the more we feel connected to this realm and others, the more ALIVE we are! The more we recogize ourselves in all people, in all life.

Stand up for the rights of angels everywhere. The downtrodden need angels most of all. Let them know they are not alone. Keep reminding them in whatever ways you can that their own angels are still alive and well, living inside of them.

If we all were a little more like angels, earth would be a little more like heaven.

An angel, like a butterfly, knows it is a great privilege to fly, even if only for a moment.

What is a Soulmate?

What is a Soulmate?
Time: 9:48:00 AM CDT
Author:  abutterflyloves is Divine Kimmy Ari of Light

Soulmates are our soul family, the ones we do have many lifetimes and experiences with, who help us grow and evolve, create and dissipate karma. According to ancient wisdom, when the soul is “born” or descended from Source, it is created in a group. The souls in this group are our soulmates, ones who are very like us in frequency makeup. Then each of these souls is split into two, creating the twins.

A soulmate is someone you are close to at a soul level, and with whom you have had many shared experiences in different lifetimes, in various kinds of relationships; siblings, parent-child, best friend, as well as romantic relationships. There is a deep love for each other, and a spiritual bond that sets them apart from the superficiality of most other people in your life. Conversations are generally deep, about personal growth and service to make the world a better place. We can have many soulmates in our lives, and they come to us to help us grow spiritually.

Twin Flame reunions are the most fulfilling relationships we can enter into as humans, on all levels. However, twin flame couples have been extremely rare on the planet, and for good reasons. Despite this, we are finding that more and more twins are finding each other now, because of the acceleration of spiritual transformation and opportunities for soul evolution we are all experiencing.

However, many of these attempts at reunion are unsuccessful because the individual people are not quite ready for the intensity of a twin flame union. It is more intense than any other union, and this intensity is at a soul level, not as much in the physical or even emotional bodies. This doesn’t mean that there isn’t a good attraction at those levels as well, but the strongest attraction is of spirit. This is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a twin soul. Many people think they have met their twin because the attraction is so intense, but it is a karmic attraction, one of need or bodily desire rather than the Divine Love of twins.

When twins reunite, both of them experience an acceleration of their spiritual growth and awakening. Yet, there is a closeness and similarities of spirit that are almost uncanny, noticed in many ways, such as looking back at yourself when you look at your mate, and a remembering of the distant past when you first split up.

Their connection is telepathic, and hugging each other is like coming home for nourishment.
