I think it does. I have it all, but many would look at my past and say, you are not perfect, or look at me now and say the same. I continually hear people say, "I'm not perfect" as if to say they are humble, however, I think we ARE perfect.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">Why do I think we are all perfect? there are a few reasons.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">1) you are the only one of you on this earth and in this universe with the life you are living so therefore nothing can be compared to you and thus you are perfect.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">2) Perfect is what you decide, so if you think you are perfect then you are.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">3) I do not believe perfect is a comparison, as in, if I am perfect, I am saying others are not. I believe it is an equal statement.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">If we see ourselves as perfect, we will not cease to strive, instead we will decide we are worth striving for and having anything we want and at the same time seeing we already have it all.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">Sure, maybe unrealistic, but I live it everyday, so I believe it is possible. I believe ALL people are perfect, and I know my ego will never, ever agree with the point and nor will the "they" of society and the entirety of religion, but that's okay as I totally love my perfect world anyway :D @AuKeeRa</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"> </span></div></div></div></div></li></ol></div></div>AuKeeRa Raynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08870142359039210887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723325184351999154.post-30647124608706266762014-09-08T08:50:00.001-07:002014-09-08T08:50:01.614-07:00Utopia? human behavior.....So, there is a new series Utopia on TV. It is a human experiment
<br>where 15 people who do not know each other are going to stay
<br>supposedly in an environment where they can form a new society, but
<br>one of those 15 people is a pastor. Already influenced, but don't kid
<br>yourself, we are all heavily influenced by this society. We think we
<br>are original, but we are not. It is really interesting to see how
<br>these ppl just wanted to talk and be heard, forcefully trying to
<br>impose their thoughts of a utopia, all it created was pure hell and so
<br>much fighting. Think about this, observe, how often through the day
<br>do you feel you need to speak, (fight) and be heard? was it worth it?
<br>did you feel vindicated? When I first started to observe this behavior
<br>in myself and become aware of how often my ego decided I needed to be
<br>right or I soon saw where alot of my stress and hopelessness was
<br>coming from. Did I really need to control so much of my surroundings
<br>and have them know my thoughts? Was I empowering or enabling? what I
<br>learned was there is NOTHING worth fighting for, and the only way I
<br>can healthily effect my environment is by living by example,
<br>(practicing what I preach). Take this week and observe how often you
<br>feel the need to speak out and how your ego has convinced you that you
<br>need to, now just consider if it effects your life the way you want it
<br>to, and go from there. You are your expert and you know what you are
<br>ready or wanting to evolve. Enjoy your day :D AuKeeRaAuKeeRa Raynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08870142359039210887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723325184351999154.post-73778719533304217472014-06-19T06:04:00.001-07:002014-06-19T06:04:38.250-07:00Another's fear and drama doesn't need to be oursDo not succumb to another's fears who chooses to attempt to create
<br>fear or a need to defend or fight with in you. It is their insecurity
<br>and their fear, not yours. Stand strong within yourself, respect their
<br>right and choice to be fearful, don't see the fault they're trying to
<br>create and allow yourself to mentally relieve the situation back to
<br>them. Another's drama and fears are never ours unless we choose to
<br>accept them into our own reality.
<br>
<br>Now I get this is easier said than done sometimes and often this poke
<br>from another takes us off guard as it comes with so much force
<br>(bullies suck) but if you give yourself a moment to mentally react
<br>without speaking the words you are thinking, then a bit more time to
<br>respond... If you choose to respond at all, you will allow yourself
<br>time to not engage or become fearful (angry) with them.
<br>
<br>Most, if not all drama is created by imagined fear. This means our ego
<br>makes a situation appear to be a threat through our assumptions or
<br>past experiences. Then due to our perceived fears ppl then either try
<br>to get others involved in this fear or, because of feeling horrible
<br>and off kilter, try to create fear in others through bullying or
<br>threatening behavior, simply because the ego now believes we are a
<br>victim of our own life.
<br>
<br>If you look at the history of creating fear, you will see creating
<br>fear has always been a way to control the masses to maintain power.
<br>So it is no surprise we have made it a seemingly natural part of the
<br>way we interact.
<br>
<br>Yes... I know this is a new way to look at things but ponder this
<br>idea. Step back and notice how angry or drama filled ppl are filled
<br>with imagined fear and aid yourself to not take this fear on either by
<br>joining their drama or fighting. Your peace is worth it. #AuKeeRaAuKeeRa

In my personal observation I see three main things fueling the ego and
<br />
thus destroying the spirit and making us completely ungrateful over
<br />
the centuries and in very recent times.
<br />
Religion and spirituality. What?! yes. It is the one thing telling us
<br />
we are not good enough, in need of fixing and in need another human to
<br />
tell us what we need and to fix us. It is the sole reason for most
<br />
people's despair and total lack of gratitude as they are not good
<br />
enough the way they are for their God, so what they own is not enough
<br />
either. (note we often pray for what we think we need or want, rather
<br />
than being grateful for what is already there)
<br />
Credit. Yup. Financial credit. Originally no one could get credit
<br />
unless they could afford to pay it back. This required the population
<br />
to prioritize their funds earned and purchase what they felt they
<br />
required. This created a great sense of pride and gratitude as people
<br />
saw their hard work created the life style they had as well as
<br />
everything in it. Now, thanks to credit, people aren't grateful for
<br />
what they have as they always want more or better. There is a full
<br />
disconnect now between what we earn and what we own due to mainly
<br />
credit as well as no longer touching our money (direct deposits and
<br />
then debit cards don't give us the tactile experience of seeing the
<br />
actual money we have earned, so it might be an idea to use cash to
<br />
purchase so you can see and give yourself credit for what you have
<br />
earned, saved for and are now buying). If we figure we can't afford it
<br />
we buy it anyway thinking we will pay for it later not realizing how
<br />
much we end up paying then feeling we are working for nothing. Credit
<br />
is really a lose lose, where as earning, saving and living within our
<br />
means results in pride and gratitude, if we can ourselves believe it
<br />
is enough. Greed, easy credit and the ego is one heck of a spending
<br />
combination.
<br />
And finally, we think electronic communication is excellent and for
<br />
some things it really is, but within all this ability of computers and
<br />
smart phones, work never stops and communication has been limited to
<br />
key strokes, again, good as in supposed productivity and really good
<br />
for being able to speak to those you want to more regularity via tx
<br />
and email, however, we now have an entire generation who looks down,
<br />
literally. Their gratitude for their simple existence seems dissolved.
<br />
Look up? put down the device, go for a walk? talk face to face. Be
<br />
grateful we still can see, hear, touch, smell? I don't know, maybe I'm
<br />
missing the mark, but this is what I see.....
<br />
Thanks to this combination, of old religion, new spirituality, credit
<br />
and electronics, we now hear constantly of people who don't think life
<br />
itself is enough, don't wish to work for their money which pays for
<br />
their life and everything in it. We hear people saying do what you
<br />
love for work, enjoy your life, yolo, it's not about the money, and so
<br />
on while multimedia spread this message at light speed. I hate to tell
<br />
you but it is about the money, and the gratitude we have for it, and
<br />
even though you only live once, what is life without the gratitude for
<br />
every small moment in it?
<br />
Life in a first world country is no different than life in a
<br />
developing country except the fact not only do we have the means to
<br />
earn money, the access to purchase items and the downfall, we have
<br />
access to credit. In a developing country, they are forced to live
<br />
within what ever financial means they can get. In our first world
<br />
existence we don't seem grateful for the simple fact we can earn our
<br />
money in the first place, nope, we decide we don't want to earn it and
<br />
then further, we want more and aren't grateful at all for what our
<br />
earned means can afford to buy because for some unknown reason we have
<br />
already decided it is not enough.
<br />
I honestly do not know how our society will bring back or ever develop
<br />
true gratitude. I will just wait and firmly believe, one day people
<br />
will pray to a God they know accepts them as perfect and enough, and
<br />
people will know their God supports and believes in them, and always
<br />
gives them exactly what they need, not want they want, and the masses
<br />
will be grateful. That people will stop incurring debt and decide to
<br />
be proud and grateful for their hard work and what they purchased with
<br />
their hard earned money, and I firmly believe we will learn again to
<br />
be grateful to look up, put down a device that has become an
<br />
addiction, returning to the gratitude for the sounds of nature, each
<br />
other and the beauty of this world.

<br />
<br />
Let's go over some ground rules okay?
<br />
<br />
This holiday is NOT about the presents, we all know this then guilt
<br />
the heck out of ourselves for not spending enough. Stop it.
<br />
<br />
Buy your kids only one present each.
<br />
Do you realize kids get so many things they no longer
<br />
treasure that one special xmas gift?
<br />
<br />
Set a gift budget and stick to it. Why?
<br />
January comes and do you still want to be paying for
<br />
everyone's gifts?<br />
Those you love, speak to, set a budget with them too
<br />
those who love you, just want you and I am sure you don't
<br />
expect or want anything in the way of gifts from them either.<br />
Food and hugs always best.
<br />
<br />
The xmas party..... oh my
<br />
<br />
Hosting ~ you as the host must come first (yes, I know, I stress too)
<br />
so make it easy on you. Drink in hand, prepare a meal that DOES NOT
<br />
STRESS YOU!!! remember xmas is for the visiting and if you
<br />
are stressed, trust me, you will not have fun.
<br />
<br />
Use paper plates, if anyone is there to judge, let them.
<br />
<br />
Let family and friends bring for the meal. You make the main dish and
<br />
let them bring something to add. But they are flying in? then enlist
<br />
their help. yes, I mean it. And yes, I know it is hard, I get it
<br />
but if you get stuck doing everything, you will just want it all to be
<br />
over, what kind of xmas is that?
<br />
<br />
Difficult family
<br />
There is only one rule here. Treat them with the kindness
<br />
of strangers. Trust me, I get it, I hear you and I understand Christmas
<br />
family stress, more than you will ever know. However, it
<br />
is one day, or one week, we can do this, after all, deep down we love
<br />
them regardless of what has gone on.<br />
So for this time, just be your kind self, allow things to go easy, trust me, ppl know exactly
<br />
what is going on, we don't have to point it out.
<br />
<br />
With all that said, please enjoy your holiday, know the memories are
<br />
worth it when the memories don't include your memories of stress.
<br />

We all do... So when does the open and
<br>honest dialogue begin about how bullying begins? Everyday people
<br>berate and bully themselves in their heads. Not policing their
<br>thoughts one but. Then they all cry out when they hear younger
<br>generations torture others verbally with words.
<br>
<br>How are those words different from those we as adults say to ourselves?
<br>
<br>When does this society learn that what we think of ourselves we
<br>inadvertently pass onto younger generations?
<br>
<br>When will the adults of this world take responsibility for thinking
<br>the way they'd like to see others in the younger generations act?
<br>
<br>Your thoughts are the key to end bullying. The thoughts you decide to
<br>give yourself rather than the ones you hear from yourself each and
<br>every moment of each day.
<br>
<br>You disagree? Tell me honestly if you like yourself enough to walk
<br>away from a fight of any kind.
<br>
<br>You think you have to stand up for yourself or teach someone they are
<br>wrong. Why?
<br>
<br>This is what we are teaching out younger generations. Not to be
<br>accepting but to be right and furthermore to win or 'be on top' or 'be
<br>the best'.
<br>
<br>Why do we think this will take the world in a direction of
<br>synchronicity? Has it done that for you?
<br>
<br>What would your world be like if you accepted yourself. Just the way
<br>you were, are and will be. Would that one thought of acceptance enable
<br>you to accept others rather than trying to save, change or argue with
<br>them?
<br>
<br>Would that one thought of self-acceptance not teach other generations
<br>to accept themselves so they too may accept others?
<br>
<br>Change does not occur from fighting. Change comes from knowing we are
<br>enough and deserve to have it all, just as all others do, while not
<br>deciding what another's 'having it all' looks like to them.
<br>
<br>Change to bullying and all the craziness in this world starts with one
<br>thing and one thing alone. You accepting you and knowing you are
<br>enough a d being brave enough to tell yourself that each day and
<br>choosing to believe it.
<br>
<br>Will we as a society understand the change our personal self-
<br>acceptance can make? I don't know.
<br>
<br>People prefer to be self-loathing and self-victimizing, while feeling
<br>we cannot all be equal or that makes us less somehow, and we must find
<br>success before anyone else!
<br>
<br>Now add in a world that supports our self destructive thinking with
<br>the religions say we are born sinners (unlovable or imperfect yet the
<br>Bible states we are created in God's image) now the latest
<br>spirituality trend decides we all need fixing (we are born sprit then
<br>die returning to spirit, being human does not make us less) and on top
<br>of all that, our society has us believing success requires us to be in
<br>financial debt so we sink ourselves financially to succeed. Our whole
<br>society is based on spend more save more! That makes no sense. We are
<br>taught we NEED things that are only wants. We are also taught now to
<br>live way beyond our means so no one will think we are not successful.
<br>This trend is only twenty years old when we joined America's lead by
<br>spending more than we make and now our seniors have joined this trend.
<br>When we are in debt we feel horrible about ourselves and we feel
<br>victimized and resentful forgetting we chose the things we purchased
<br>due to pressure we believe is real.
<br>
<br>So I honestly don't know if people are able to find self-acceptance
<br>for themselves. Everything in this world has made it appear that we
<br>should not accept ourselves with a plethora of reasons why we suck.
<br>
<br>This generation comes along and all of a sudden we wonder why people
<br>and kids bully. All the blame gets placed on actions and no one yet
<br>has though where this behavior is started and perpetuated.
<br>
<br>As long as we all choose to only bully ourselves each day and not
<br>balance those thoughts with self-acceptance we are not practicing the
<br>change we hope to see. Self-acceptance does not come with accolades or
<br>praise in fact it after comes with frustration of 'always being the
<br>bigger person' or 'how come I'm living in integrity when no one else
<br>seems to be'?! This is why very few choose to accept themselves as
<br>enough.
<br>
<br>Once we open this door and truly believe it will you suddenly be rich
<br>with everything you've ever wanted? No. Life will still give you
<br>experiences requiring your full range of human emotions, something
<br>that can only happen when you are alive. So why accept myself? It'll
<br>just make me lazy (when we are lazy it's usually because fear
<br>failing). It'll make me narcissistic! (Actually the state human beings
<br>live in now is already narcissistic. When we believe we can save
<br>others or that others 'need us' it's out ego telling us we are better
<br>than them. We are not. Self-acceptance allows us to step back and
<br>empower others... And our children with a loving thought of "I know
<br>you can make it through this. I believe in you.")
<br>
<br>No one is saying you have to as remember, self-acceptance really seems
<br>to have no pay off and for your ego it doesn't. So I'm sure most who
<br>read this will simply make excuses why they can't rather than adding a
<br>thought of self acceptance to their daily existence such as "I'm proud
<br>of you", "I love you", "you are enough" as it's just the way we are
<br>raised and aided by the society we are living in.
<br>
<br>But I can tell you, each and every moment of each and everyday I will
<br>look in that mirror and tell that girl I love her, how beautiful she
<br>is, how much I accept her and in turn each person I say it to will for
<br>a glimmer see it in themselves as I see this in me. And furthermore my
<br>child will learn why he is enough, how to balance self individuals
<br>with self acceptance, how to walk out in this world amongst all the
<br>bullies, stupidity and cruelty while still being able to see the value
<br>of his human existence and everyone else's as well.
<br>
<br>I ask you share this if you believe in it. Do not change my words or
<br>erase my name, for unless you practice though of self-acceptance the
<br>concept is truly not an easy one to explain.
<br>
<br>It is my hope that one day you will look in the mirror and see the
<br>perfection and beauty I see in each person I meet and in turn you will
<br>be able, once you accept yourself as enough, begin to see your life
<br>and everyone in it, not as a threat but also as enough. There would be
<br>no more room for bullies in a society, as they would only be fighting
<br>with themselves. This simple yet seemingly difficult concept is truly
<br>the only way to stop bullying in our children, our work places and in
<br>generations to come.
<br>
<br>Please share if it feels right, and add in one thought today. Do not
<br>look for outward support as only you can find this love for you. No
<br>one can make you accept you; this journey is yours and yours alone.
<br>You are enough you can do this.

I love to help"
<br>
<br>These words are suppose to make us nice people but what these words
<br>really do is create resentment when we live serving all those around
<br>us while waiting for someone to treat us the way we are treating the.
<br>
<br>The huge myth is that nice people, humble people, do nothing for
<br>themselves and everything for others.
<br>If you truly wish to be someone who cares for those around you then
<br>you cannot run double standards treating yourself less than those you
<br>treat around you. If you do this, you will empty your well, become
<br>exhausted, and then often resentful as you watch yourself do nice
<br>things and everything for others while no one does anything for you.
<br>
<br>Assertive and self assured people have learned they have to ask
<br>themselves what they need, provide them and keep doing so BEFORE they
<br>provide those things to others.
<br>
<br>There are many people in life who do not wish to take care of
<br>themselves mentally (or physically or financially) and there are so
<br>many 'nice people' ready to stand in and 'help'. This is not help and
<br>this action is selfish. When we help others thinking they are unable
<br>to do it for themselves we are being selfish. Somehow we have given
<br>ourselves the belief that the other person 'NEEDS' us, and this feeds
<br>are ego, so there for it is selfish. Yes, this is the exact opposite
<br>as we have been taught.
<br>
<br>If you give yourself everything you need (monetary, mentally,
<br>physically) you will have the overflow to give to others, and you will
<br>not need to think "should I?" or "I don't want to but I know I
<br>should?" anymore for you will know, you can give without being
<br>exhausted, resentful or broke. You will realize That just running out
<br>and agreeing the person needs help often becomes enabling and we all
<br>know we would rather be empowered (except for the person used to
<br>everything being done for them....)
<br>
<br>Same with the advice we give, all our friends and family is doing what
<br>is best for them. Careful, even when asked what you say... or ask for
<br>that matter. Our opinions should empower our partner, friends or
<br>family to find their own way, their way with just a different view if
<br>asked for by us. Our words should not confuse them nor ever come from
<br>a condescending place. We are all equal.
<br>
<br>And because we are all equal is why we do not NEED each other, but it
<br>is so nice to HAVE each other. Having is a choice, needing comes from
<br>a place of ego and fear. All we need is always provided and there for
<br>us, what we need is just in our minds and when another person jumps in
<br>or feels obligated to fulfill that need, that person needs to realize
<br>this is an action of ego, not charity.
<br>
<br>Yes, we can give but when we give of our overflow we actually HAVE the
<br>money to give (no personal debt or needing groceries ourselves), time
<br>(we are already giving time needed to ourselves, family, and friends).
<br>
<br>Look at you. You gorgeous, incredible, successful human being. Look
<br>in the mirror and see what a great job you have done, yes, you. Do
<br>for you what you do for your friends everyday, you've had enough
<br>practice so I guess you already know how to right? You know all the
<br>wonderful things you say to your friends, kids and family..... how
<br>proud you are of them? I think you should say those words to you, and
<br>feel proud of yourself too. No ore double standards, no treating
<br>others better than you treat yourself... okay?
<br>
<br>
<br>Take the time to observe your life, just think about it okay? Observe
<br>you running, feeling out of sorts, never feeling you have enough time
<br>or money, along with the thoughts you are thinking while all this is
<br>happening. Are you being mean to you, telling you to hurry up, that
<br>you are stupid, that you do everything wrong? Just observe and take
<br>the time to hear what you are thinking.
<br>
<br>Then add one (yes, only one) thought. I am enough or I am proud of
<br>you or everything is right in my life.
<br>
<br>Then think that thought over and over and over while your ego tries to
<br>mentally obliterate you and your life seems to want to swallow you up!
<br>
<br>Over time, and through observation (remembering it took you years to
<br>get to where you are now) keep showing yourself what is out of balance
<br>and find solutions that will aid you. There are solutions, but you
<br>have to allow yourself to not decide what will do wrong before you
<br>even try them and you will have to realize that fulfilling you does
<br>and will always allow you to help, if need be and realize when to step
<br>back and you will always have what is needed in order to give that
<br>help if and when it is necessary and even better, you will have now
<br>learned who you want in your life, what you want in your life and that
<br>YOU can also ask for help from those you 'trust' with this incredible
<br>you.
<br>
<br>We are all equal, we all are enough..... just the way we are, and
<br>things can always only get better :DAuKeeRa Raynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08870142359039210887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723325184351999154.post-21693580166787376052013-08-12T09:43:00.000-07:002013-08-12T09:42:48.237-07:00Sun shines ~ fears fadeAnxiety is created when we try and control a future we cannot. We
<br>fool ourselves into believe and agreeing with a society which tells us
<br>we can control the moments to come, when infact all we can truly do is
<br>set forth with an idea in mind while willing to change and bend with
<br>the curves of the road ahead. This bobbing and weaving requires
<br>coping skills and underneath that requires self confidence. The
<br>confidence to know we do have our own answers, we will be safe and
<br>everything is fine, working out as it should. But then society jumps
<br>in again. If something 'bad' happens we immediately turn ourselves
<br>into victims, throwing our self confidence and safety out the window
<br>using the situation to show ourselves why our future is scary and
<br>needs us to control it. Do you see the conundrum this puts us in? We
<br>feel we need to control that which we cannot ever truly control. We
<br>won't even take that step forward for fear of something 'bad' happening.
<br>
<br>So what is truly bad? Someone in this world has gone through, and
<br>survived the unimaginable in their life. They survived, somehow
<br>someway, they did. So ask yourself when your ego threatens the need
<br>to control "what is the worst that can happen" now don't be all
<br>dramatic, stay realistic. You see, your ego uses the unknown against
<br>you. So once you show yourself you can, infact handle the imagined
<br>worst case scenario, then you will stop fearing when you have not even
<br>been yet!
<br>
<br>In order for us to take part in our lives we must be constantly
<br>moving, for life doesn't stop. This does not mean we need to be doing
<br>or becoming anything different than what we are. Mind bend isn't it.
<br>You are here, this is your life, it is enough, it is only you who will
<br>decide it isn't enough, or finally see it is. Once you decide this
<br>life, regardless of what it is right now, is enough, you will become
<br>grateful. Once you become grateful, you will truly see the meaning to
<br>having it all.
<br>
<br>When we decide we need to control our futures, gratitude cannot be
<br>present as we are too busy telling what we need rather than being
<br>proud of ourselves, or grateful, in the moment. So to live in a state
<br>of contentment, and gratitude, keep an idea of where you are going in
<br>your head but allow the life you are meant to live (even if you don't
<br>agree with where you are) to become what it is, your life at the
<br>moment, and allow yourself to be grateful in that moment rather than
<br>being a victim of it and turning into a victim of circumstance. As I
<br>have said "If you are the victim of circumstance, you are also the
<br>master of it's solution"
<br>
<br>Allow yourself to remember that every second is a new beginning, that
<br>you are always doing the best you can in that second and your actions
<br>and you are enough. No one can decide you or your life is not worth
<br>being grateful for besides you. This is your decision and yours
<br>alone. "You hold all the answers to the questions you are brave
<br>enough to ask yourself" and yes, "all unfortunate events are drops of
<br>enlightenment in disguise" Love n hugs, AuKeeRaAuKeeRa Raynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08870142359039210887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723325184351999154.post-69700348129284268062013-06-19T07:05:00.001-07:002013-06-19T07:05:04.282-07:00brilliant minds, simple answers"Be the change you want to see in the world" M Gandhi and Albert Einstein <span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" class="userContent">"There are only two ways to live your life.

Basic and simple, things we all know, so stop making it complicated, or bigger than what it is. We are NOT broken, we are living.

<br>ourselves and society, past and present. Most people I have met don't
<br>really like people. Don't get me wrong, they like individual people
<br>but groups, society, ignorance add in drama, and we all admit somedays
<br>people are really hard to be around.
<br>
<br>Watching this movie last night reminded me how sometimes we just chose
<br>not to think, while others seem to think to much. Christians have one
<br>simple rule, love your neighbor as yourself, and yet, they can't seem
<br>to follow it. Intellectual people should know personal integrity
<br>should create at the very least respect, and yet it doesn't seem to.
<br>Then they are the people who say they don't care, but they seem to
<br>bitch the most.
<br>
<br>Really seems hopeless for our human race somedays. People telling
<br>other what to do, how to live, while not practicing what they preach
<br>and then this movie, I was grateful to see a small piece of society
<br>with people just doing what they wanted, not to stand out but for the
<br>money (business) and by staying within their own integrity changed
<br>things forever.
<br>
<br>You see, we don't have to do anything but live our lives, while
<br>silently holding up our personal integrity. Changes and shifts will
<br>always occur. We are truly like the seasons and butterflies. We
<br>change and shift, nothing ever stays the same. We go through cycles
<br>we cannot control and this is the gift of being human.
<br>
<br>Stop reading all those self help books, stop deciding what our world
<br>should be, or how others should act, then focus on you and only you,
<br>not your partner, children, friends nor the place you work or the
<br>people around you, only you. The space you control is between your
<br>ears, and this space creates how you see the world around you, so
<br>don't just dismiss your thoughts, aid yourself to see a perfect, ever
<br>changing world. Decide the actions of others are not yours, nor your
<br>responsibility to decide they are wrong and your theories are right.
<br>That is just not our job.
<br>
<br>Our purpose here is to live. Can you give yourself the chance to
<br>realize you are the key to the life you have always wanted, your
<br>thoughts will give you this, but first you have to decide you are
<br>enough, it is worth thinking everything is okay, and more so, it is
<br>worth believing everything you already know (for every time I say
<br>things like this, the receiver always said..... I knew that, so I
<br>know, you already know this, so quit complicating things, trying to
<br>control things that just don't matter, and know you and your life will
<br>become exactly what it is meant to be, with our without you, just like
<br>the seasons and the butterfly.)

<br />
~ we are not alone
<br />
~ we can have bad days (and will)
<br />
~ we will be sad some days too
<br />
~ we can ask for help but....
<br />
it is up to us to also help ourselves.
<br />
<br />
Metal illness is different than the melancholy we all experience and I
<br />
will tell you from personal experience, humanbeings are very capable
<br />
of learning coping skills to overcome extreme sadness and despair but
<br />
we have to chose to.
<br />
<br />
Many who are in need of aid, tell themselves they are fine while
<br />
others ask them to reach out. If this is you and you know you are not
<br />
okay, reach out and never stop reaching out. Don't feel you are a
<br />
victim rather feel you are going to add a new way of dealing with
<br />
things. We all have the ability to cope, we all have days where we
<br />
want to give up and more people than you will ever know are where you
<br />
are, have been or might be one day. You are not alone.
<br />
<br />
During a bad day.....
<br />
~ do for you what you would do for a good friend. Listen, don't feel
<br />
sorry for you but be empathetic, don't push. Bring munchies or flowers
<br />
like you would for your friend, with warm blankies and cuddles. Be
<br />
nice, not pitying but nice.
<br />
~ Know that everyone has bad days so do not decide that everyone
<br />
wishes to hear about yours at work. Work is not a place to discuss
<br />
problems with coworker or clients. This is where a journal is useful,
<br />
just so you can get it out as well as asking for a good friend to
<br />
listen, and in some cases, maybe even a counselor.
<br />
~ Do not let yourself decide you can stay home from work or not get
<br />
out of bed. You wouldn't stand by and let a friend do that so don't
<br />
let yourself feel victimized, be gentle but firm. Empowering not
<br />
enabling. Make sense? this is a fine line and this is why most of us
<br />
just don't know what to do :) we want help but don't know where to
<br />
learn.
<br />
<br />
All people suffer some sort of depression. We all have anxiety. We
<br />
are human.
<br />
<br />
If your mentality is pushing others away, making you never leave your
<br />
home, causing you NOT to work, and leading you to abuse yourself,
<br />
others or substance, reach out.... you need help. Your mental state
<br />
is stagnating and hurting your life, there is another way.
<br />
<br />
There will be times in life when we lose someone close to death, this
<br />
is also a time to reach out to a health care professional, and yes, to
<br />
be on medication for a time and learn how you are going to move
<br />
through your grief.
<br />
<br />
I find there is some confusion as to when we need help, a good focus
<br />
is, work to develop your own coping skills, talk in a journal, reach
<br />
out to another on a bad day (not a work person and someone you will be
<br />
honest with, honesty is important) and know in most cases the bad days
<br />
will pass, and yes, they sometimes last for a few weeks. If you notice
<br />
you are pushing your friends away, your self metal talk has been
<br />
viciously cruel and you have decided your are worthless, and are
<br />
possibly not able to hold down a job, reach out. If you are pushing
<br />
people away, get in your corner, put your pride in your pocket and
<br />
stand up for you enough to say, hey, I need something right now, yes,
<br />
I am feeling stupid and a little crazy but could you help me please.
<br />
Trust me, if a friend says you maybe need medication, they are not
<br />
being mean, they are saying it because they care, so sometime, listen
<br />
to those who love you.
<br />
<br />
Suicide is more common than I have ever seen it. In most cases those
<br />
around the person feel helpless because they isolate. So again, if
<br />
you know you are isolating, then be honest, reach out, only you can
<br />
help you and only you can decide you are worth it..... we already know
<br />
you are :DAuKeeRa

<br>tv treat themselves or others with no respect at all and then turn
<br>around and find that same behavior in our own home or even being acted
<br>out by us. How do we keep faith in the human race?
<br>
<br>First we don't get to tell others how to act or what to do, that is
<br>just not our job. Even with our friends, spouses, gfs or bfs, and
<br>even with our adult children, it is not our job. Think again before
<br>you do it as I know the majority of you reading this would never want
<br>anybody to tell you what to do, so we can't have double standards.
<br>
<br>Next we must realize not to preach but practice.
<br>
<br>Giving/receiving
<br>We gifted or donated to someone we didn't know (like that whole trend
<br>of buying the car after you coffee, giving money or things to a
<br>charity or stranger or being a part of a charity). Don't look for
<br>accolades and praise as random acts are meant for the person/people we
<br>gifted and not for the satisfaction of our ego or to think it makes us
<br>look like a better people. You are the only one who needs to know
<br>what you do and have done for others, otherwise it is only done out of
<br>guilt or ego.
<br>To give with true intent we must be able to receive as well. Taking
<br>help when we need it and saying thank you (not taking over after we
<br>have accepted the hlep or chastising those who have come to help,
<br>rather be grateful).
<br>Allow yourself to understand those who love you want to help you and
<br>allow them to do so, even if it is your way or perfect for you, allow
<br>it to be enough.
<br>
<br>And take a compliment. Say thank you, looking like you don't deserve
<br>it makes you look egotistical, not humble. Even if you think you
<br>don't deserve it, don't hurt the giver by verbally slapping them down,
<br>this is hurtful and it is your ego reacting to the praise.
<br>
<br>As you can see, in order not to lose faith in the human race you have
<br>to chose not to lose faith in you (that's a shocker eh?)
<br>
<br>Yes, once again, it all comes back to what you do and how you think.
<br>If you would not hurt anyone, then decide others intentions are not to
<br>hurt you.
<br>Our egos yell "but I have proof! People hurt me all the time." if you
<br>look at how you have been hurt you will see in order to be hurt you
<br>must first have attracted the person who hurt you (yes, of course i
<br>mean subconsciously). So examine this. If you don't, you will
<br>continue to attract people who hurt you. "but I trusted that person
<br>then I find out they are talking behind my back and being me" okay so
<br>you trusted them, and they are now being rude, solution is simple,
<br>don't talk to them anymore and cut them out of your life. It's your
<br>choice. It seems we always are attracted to the pain of drama
<br>though. What do you owe to someone who hurts you? You owe them your
<br>tears or anger? Most of us get mad at others because they are not
<br>acting the way we want them to, or think they should.
<br>
<br>Refer again to the first point I made. What other people do or say,
<br>even to us or behind our backs is not for us to change, how we react
<br>and if we keep them in our life is our next choice.
<br>
<br>We lose faith in the human race when we lose faith in ourselves. And
<br>all of us go through these periods. We sometimes wake up one day
<br>thinking "I suck" then backing it with all the reasons we can muster.
<br>This is all conducted by our ego. Our ego is a nasty piece of work and
<br>it is always going to be negative and judgmental of us and those
<br>around us, so let it natter. We have spent YEARS teaching ourselves
<br>to hate and judge ourselves and others but we did not start out this
<br>way, we had to learn to believe what others said about us and then
<br>take it on as our own truth, so it is time to add in the other side.
<br>The positive supportive side. Yes, ADD. Do not decide you are not
<br>going to be or think negatively anymore, that is not possible, you are
<br>human, you have an ego and you cannot cut something out to make
<br>yourself whole.
<br>
<br>You know how to like things, so like you. Think of all the things you
<br>are proud of, all the things you would say to a best friend. How you
<br>would talk to a best friend and begin to think and treat yourself that
<br>way. Sure the ego will still try and knock you down but you will have
<br>your support of yourself and because you do support yourself, you will
<br>now allow others so support you too.
<br>
<br>See how this works?
<br>
<br>The others you attract will treat you how you treat yourself.
<br>Others will be as mean to you as you are to yourself and because you
<br>expect others to disrespect you, it will happen,
<br>or you will chose to see it in others rather than kindness. How you
<br>see you is how you will expect others to see you. Simple fact.
<br>How you think of you, is what the thoughts you will expect from
<br>others, and if you don't believe it then what others say behind your
<br>back might piss you off but you will not in anyway agree with their
<br>ignorance or self reflection
<br>
<br>You will have as much faith in others as you have in yourself. You
<br>will allow others to help you as much as you help yourself.
<br>
<br>Once you treat yourself in a way you want others to, you will not
<br>allow a person of any less than that to partner you. With friends,
<br>you will learn to quickly dispose of those who treat you less than you
<br>treat yourself and keep them at arms length if they decide to treat
<br>themselves with a multitude of self disrespect. You will be there for
<br>others in a way you are there for yourself. And happily when you are
<br>about to lose faith in the world you will realize you have faith in
<br>yourself and if all people are your equal, you can have faith in them
<br>too.

<br>things right now regarding spirituality, healing, 2012, the shift and
<br>many other things.
<br>
<br>Right now, exactly the way we are, we are perfect whole and complete.
<br>With nothing to heal, nothing to 'get' and nothing to learn. Yes,
<br>nothing to learn. We do NOT have a divine higher purpose. Our
<br>chakras are not anyway except the way they should be, for if they are
<br>'imbalanced' then what is what to be at that moment.
<br>
<br>You see what everyone seems to be missing is this ~
<br>Before we are born we are spirit, perfect, whole and complete. We are
<br>born, in a body but yet perfect whole and complete. When we die we
<br>return to spirit, perfect, whole and complete.
<br>
<br>Our life purpose was to experience life. We die in the same state we
<br>are born ~ spirit ~ perfect whole and complete. We have nothing to
<br>heal, nothing to learn, nothing to prove, no karma from life to life
<br>to fix, no, all we are to do is experience the life of being human.
<br>
<br>And yet, we think we are to learn to meditate, control our emotions
<br>and stop our ego, trust me, this happens when we are dead. So why are
<br>we not looking to accept the humanness of ourselves.
<br>
<br>All I am seeing currently is people telling other people they are
<br>broken, they need to heal, they are doing it wrong, to follow someone
<br>else's way or theory. Last time I checked we are all human, we are
<br>all equal, we all 'get it' in the way that we should, and we all have
<br>valid theories that will work for us, we just have to ask ourselves.
<br>
<br>Yes, there is suppose to be a shift of consciousness in 2012 and I
<br>believe that shift is to finally see you are enough just the way you
<br>are. Remember the basis of EVERYTHING is when I accept myself I can
<br>finally accept all others. This is not a spiritual nor religious
<br>thing. This is purely accepting you are enough (in my words, perfect,
<br>whole and complete)
<br>
<br>It is by this simple, I repeat, simple, single thought a universal
<br>shift is caused. It is only through self acceptance we effect and
<br>become a part of universal consciousness.
<br>
<br>Human experience means we accept and experience everything, the good,
<br>the bad and the ugly. It means we accept our ego and add positive
<br>thoughts to balance it. Sure we can meditate but not to stay in this
<br>state nor to think we 'need' it, and the same goes for anything else
<br>you might think you need to fix you. Always bring yourself back to "I
<br>am perfect, whole and complete" understanding that anyone/thing/
<br>religion/ or theory who tells you different, just has not been able to
<br>say/think this to themselves yet.

style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Hence if you believe you are fat, you will not lose weight but stay what you believe - fat.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>If you believe you will never get the job you want you won't.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>If you believe you don't have enough money you will never have enough.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The same theory applies to believing you are the perfect weight all the time, you will see yourself in that light even when your weigh fluctuates.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Thus there will be no self-sabotage, self-loathing or feelings of failure.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Even when there may not be a lot of money you will always see there is enough for what you need and therefore never broke.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>You will always find work if you believe there is work for you and you will always see a way out if you believe there is one.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>If you believe you are living the perfect life for you, you will be, regardless of what others think.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>You will feel content and

<br>
<br>We believe if we live for ourselves we are 'selfish' or self serving.
<br>But really if you treat yourself the same way you treat others, this
<br>is not selfish, it is choosing to not have double standards.
<br>
<br>If you treat others better than your treat yourself you create
<br>bitterness and resentment, no really a good idea :)
<br>
<br>If you expect others to treat you better than they treat themselves,
<br>also, you will not be happy with the results once again.
<br>
<br>When we think we can be someone else's answer, we can make them happy
<br>or we can help them find themselves, we are not being nice people, we
<br>are being ego maniacs deciding we are better than someone! Sure
<br>society as taught us acting like this makes us 'nice' people but it is
<br>egotistical behaviour, not nice.
<br>
<br>If you live for you, treating you the way you wish to be treated then
<br>this treatment becomes habit in the way you treat others. Thus you
<br>must live for yourself.
<br>
<br>Financially don't decide others deserve your money more than you. The
<br>universe/God provided it to you, why would you say, "thanks but I
<br>think someone else deserves it more" again, how egotistical to give
<br>away a gift rather than be grateful for it, being a martyr is pure ego
<br>based behavior.
<br>
<br>We are trained to be victims and martyrs in our society. Be aware of
<br>this. You are NOT here to save the world, God/the Universe, has that
<br>one under control. Your responsibility is you and only you. If you
<br>feel you are lacking you will NOT find wholeness in giving to others
<br>until you learn to give to you, remember, no double standards. The
<br>way you treat others is only out of pure honestly and truth if you are
<br>treating yourself that way first.
<br>
<br>How do I do that? Think to yourself with the kind words you would
<br>share with another. Gift yourself first rather than gifting another.
<br>Cook for you the way you would cook for another, the same goes for
<br>cleaning. Decide your body is worth dressing in a way that shows this
<br>self respect. Journal, put up sticky notes to let you know how you
<br>care (I am enough), tell you that you love you everyday. And when all
<br>else fails, fake it til you make it :)
<br>
<br>Don't demand anything of others that you don't give yourself and don't
<br>give to others what you have not learned to give to yourself.AuKeeRa
