Folly: let go of the pain, there is very little to gain.

“Forget what hurt you in the past, but never forget what it taught you. However, if it taught you to hold onto grudges, seek revenge, not forgive or show compassion, to categorize people as good or bad, to distrust and be guarded with your feelings then you didn’t learn a thing. God doesn’t bring you lessons to close your heart. He brings you lessons to open it, by developing compassion, learning to listen, seeking to understand instead of speculating, practicing empathy and developing conflict resolution through communication. If he brought you perfect people, how would you ever learn to spiritually evolve?”
”• Shannon L. Alder
I believe the above quote says it all. Change your perspective about your journey, and you change your thoughts and your actions. For example, Brian Tracy, a motivational speaker and self-development author, encourages individuals to believe that the universe conspires to help us instead of hurting us. We choose our thoughts; we choose our behaviors.
Heal within,

Conundrum: limited possibilities?
Posted on December 15, 2016 2 Comments
Conundrum
One conundrum that I often face is helping others to see that it is possible to achieve their goals.  Once individuals see that achieving their goals is possible, their imaginary lid of “limited possibilities” comes off. Tasks become easier to complete and are completed in a timely fashion. It is amazing how much more effective we are once we have faith in our abilities. We no longer make excuses for what we did not accomplish and set achievable, realistic, and timely goals. We find creative means to balance family life, personal time, school, and work.
Until we make something a priority in our life, it will not be a priority.
“Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.”
”• Stephen R. Covey
“Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.”

:
From individuals who consistently shoot down your dreams and call you “crazy.” Just because they do not believe in the possibilities does not mean that you should too. It may be time to look for better company.
From those who belittle you so that they appear bigger than what they are. Soon, they will find out that their height is an illusion. If they can’t see and appreciate your true beauty and your uniqueness, then you may want to look for better company.
From individuals who abuse you”¦emotionally, mentally, physically, and in any other way. If they can’t see the power of your name, that you deserve life and respect you, because you are here, then you may want to look for better company.
From living an ordinary life and trying to fit in the crowd. You were made to be different. Even identical twins are different. If others want you to smile, talk, wear the same clothes, eat like them, breathe like them, agree with everything that they say, then you may want to look for better company.
You always have a choice. Thinking that you do not have a choice is a choice. If you think you do not have a choice, then you have chosen to limit your thoughts.
Heal within and be true to you!
