Jealousy is a disease, Hatred a side effect.

If you have a problem with someone, you shouldn't go running your mouth, you should face the fact that the root of the problem is your own self . The fact you dislike what you see when you look in the mirror, is the reflection of your life..

Anyone can use words to inflict pain. Think before you speak, use the correct actions, know facts before presuming and judging, never say something to someone else you couldn't handle or wouldn't like to hear yourself.

Jealousy is a disease, Hatred a side effect.

At some point Everyone takes a deep look at their life and realizes its time to make mends and change what you don't like seeing. Its not weakness, its strength and courage to do so. xx

Always remember you get one life. One chance. And when your done, when you get to your destination you will have to look back. Are you going to like what you see or are you going to have regrets and anger.

You make your own life. Destiny gives you that chance. Fate puts the right people in your path, those who don't fit are for you to figure out. Faith is what pulls you through the darkness and Beliefs are what gets you through to the light. Never blame anyone for your own faults and errors. Use your disappointments as learning tools and keep your success as a cherished gift. Always have Love or hate will take over.

Live as though you will have a next life judged upon the Karma of this one.. _______/)______./¯"""/') ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\)¯¯¯¯¯'\_„„„„\)

optimism

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best,and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!

When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step into the darkness of the unknown. Faith is knowing that one of two things will happen. There will be solid ground to stand on or you will be taught to fly.

Doubt sees the obstacles

faith sees the way.

Doubt sees the darkest night

Faith sees the day.

Doubt dreads to take a step

Faith soars on high.

Doubt questions 'who believes?'

Faith answers, 'I.'

♥<3A.♥♥

Anyway you can..

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind. Think big anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack if you help them. Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you've got anyway.

Not Conditional..

there is no such thing as conditional love.

Love is either unconditional or it's no love. You might like someone conditional on their personality or behavior or circumstances. But love accepts no boundaries. So never say 'I love you because', for love has no cause, love comes from God.

Love is something that you can leave behind when you die. It's that powerful.

A ♥

Condemnation

you are commanded to love everyone, not condemn those who don't agree with you.. Your opinions are just that, - opinions, regardless of where you got them from. They are tiny, a speck compared to the immensity of God. You cannot possibly have even the faintest idea of what God commands to other people, to other lifeforms. Your only possible intelligent choice is to continuously open in love and acceptance. Today more than yesterday.

I will never ask or tell you to believe what i believe or do what i do. I will never tell those who disagree with me that they are no good and discard them. i welcome others opinions.

to me there is nothing better than being able to learn what other people see through their own eyes. What they believe. How they feel and what they do. Thats a wonderful thing.

Controversy is not, its just a form of ignorance.

♥♥♥A.

Tenderness

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as true strength. How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

A♥

greed turned over..

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been erected to a critic.

i'm going to share this, because sometimes its easier to understand through story lines:

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up. The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands. How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life, you will have been all of these if not already.

something within

There is something within me

That is strong enough

To keep me from toppling

Over the edge of Sanity,

Over the ledge of frustration

Or over the hedge of All-out foolishness.

It leads me to prayer

When I would otherwise Break.

There is something in my make-up

Or my bringing up

Or just the way I look up

That straightens my back

And bows my head.

It becomes the focus of my meditation.

The sentiment in my supplication,

The reason for my transformation.

That thing inside me

Has me choosing light

Though darkness covers all.

It wells up like ocean waves

Come to drown those who Think they deserve to push me back,

Hold me down or Steal my joy.

I have a spiritual strength that Grows deeper and speaks louder as I get to know

More about who I am. And I know that i Love every moment.

♥ A.~

I am..

I am a contradiction a perfect imperfection On looking in from outside I think I’d pass inspection

My nails are neat, each hair in place My clothes the latest styles But look a little closer, And you can see my trials

The window to my balanced soul Is stained from too much smoke A birds eye view down at my heart Will clearly show it’s broke

My best intentions lead to pain And complicated messes My head is filled with wishes, My decisions second guesses

There was a time I tried to hide each wrinkle, scar and tear But I’m learning to appreciate That I’m more than I appear

Each wrinkle tells a story The path from there to here I’ve earned a little wisdom With every falling tear

My soul will soar in brilliant skies But then I’ll need to rest The embers of my passion Still smolder in my chest

Perhaps I’ll let my hair go wild And skip the manicure I’ll wear my favorite color They’ll say "Hey, look at her"

My hair, my heart, my clothes, my soul Will walk in one direction No longer contradicting My perfect imperfection

Now look at your same self And you see the same So how will you do Take it as you will Or dare to dream

Either way Perfect is only a Shame ♥A

the Will to go on..

God is always with you, seen or unseen, saint or sinner. Giving you air, supporting your footsteps, nourishing you with sunshine, God is here with you.

The separateness you sometimes feel is an illusion, in truth you are never alone. And so you go on and flourish. Never wilt.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;

When the funds are low, and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but have to sigh;

When care is pressing you down a bit-

Rest if you must, but do not quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;

And you can never tell how close you are

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-

It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

a view

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good.

Peace

peace will come when you let the presence of God settle into your heart.

If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations, there must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities, there must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors, there must be peace in the home.

If there is to be peace in the home, there must be peace in the heart.

An act..

your kindness makes a difference. Even if it is a very tiny act of goodness and you think no one notices, God notices. Always remember that one little act of kindness can tilt the balance of an entire situation. One little act of kindness can ripple out in countless ways that you many never know about. A.♥

Universal Rules

1. Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.

2. Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.

3. Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

4. Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.

5. Do not take what is not yours whether from a person, a community, the wilderness or from a culture. If it was not earned or given, it is not yours.

6. Respect all things that are placed upon this earth - whether it be people or plant.

7. Honor other people's thoughts, wishes and words. Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each person the right to personal expression.

8. Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.

9. All persons make mistakes. And all mistakes can be forgiven.

10. Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body and spirit. Practice optimism.

11. Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us. They are part of your worldly family.

12. Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life's lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.

13. Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of your pain will return to you.

14. Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the test of ones will within this universe.

15. Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual self, Emotional self, and Physical self - all need to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind. Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.

16. Make conscious decisions as to who you will be and how you will react. Be responsible for your own actions.

17. Respect the privacy and personal space of others. Do not touch the personal property of others - especially sacred and religious objects. This is forbidden.

18. Be true to yourself first. You cannot nurture and help others if you cannot nurture and help yourself first.

19. Respect others religious beliefs. Do not force your belief on others.

20. Share your good fortune with others. Participate in charity.

Bringing Love to Every Moment

Whatever your fate is, whatever the heck happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge.

If you bring love to that moment - not discouragement - you will find the strength is there. Any disaster that you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You’ll see that this is really true.

Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not.xx

♥♥♥A.

Uniquely You

When you try to value yourself for being the best in something, you are bound to fail. Even Olympic champions are the best only for a few years.

You are precious to God not because there is no one better than you, but because you are a unique creation of mind, body and spirit, - there is no one like you, - and that is exactly what makes you so indescribably precious. As so as you come to terms with that, you will be finally able to really live you life to its fullest.

♥A

Never go at it Alone..

shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.

There is no need for you to go it alone. what we forget when were down and out is that There are people who love you, and who are ready to give you much needed support as possible. There are even more, - way more than you can possibly imagine, people who CAN love you if you give them a chance. We tend to cut people off without even getting to know them because we judge a book by its cover. And isn't that just shallow with all the wrong morals..

Make 'share joy, half the sorrow' your motto for today.

♥A

ride vs. destination

Someone once said 'It is better to travel than to arrive.'

Ask yourself if its about the ride, or the destination..

Were given a path but so many opportunities as we travel down it. Just because one doesn't work doesn't mean the others won't either. Its about finding purpose, Your purpose, Your dream, Your Life.

And if there is one thing i can guarantee is that no one but you can find your way through it. No one but you can make the right decisions. Only you can Live to full potential but you can't have fears. Keep optimism, Have courage, Remember Hope and Faith. Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. They don't walk in your shoes. Don't look back unless you want to remember something to help you for the present and remember no one knows whats held in the future.

This is one life, your life. Make sure at the end of it, when you look back, that you like what you see..

much Love

disillusionized

We strive so hard to have success that we let ourselves down to disappointment. But we led ourselves down that road. Strive for great, Expect worst, You end up in between without disappointment and in some cases you might end up even better. But expectations can be misleading..

We will always be judged, its the way society is, but you have to remember its how you are because of it that matters. If you let being judged bother you, your going to have many problems. But if you brush it off and keep on moving than who really cares what others think. And what gives them the right anyway. They must care on some level to take time out of their day to judge.. so doesn't that make you the better one anyway..And remember when people judge or hate on someone they are really only speaking and thinking of themselves..

The only time your not good enough is when you convince your own self that your not. No one can tell you who and what you are. Only you know and so if you tell yourself something your going to live by that. Everyone is more than good enough but its what we tell ourselves and how we carry ourselves that will be the outcome of how we feel.

To be not accomplished to is to have never been born. In one way whether you know it or not, you have changed lives and helped in some way. You have done good in the earth and have challenged yourself and others. everyone is accomplished in some way. to think your not is ignorant.

Stress is inevitable like society. With the hard times, the way people are and the hatred out there, there are so many things that can be stressful. But no matter what storm is going through your life you have to have faith and believe. pray. you have to understand that the storm does blow over even when you feel like you can't get up anymore. And when you pray you have to believe in what your asking. if you don't than He will not deliver. Why should he, you don't believe it.. You have to believe He will deliver and know it won't happen over night, and wont happen like a pure miracle, but opportunities will start popping up. There is your answers.

Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!

♥♥♥A

forgive

When another person makes you suffer, it is because they suffer deeply within themselves, and their suffering is spilling over. He/She does not need punishment; they need help. That's the message they are sending. Forgive, not because you are weak, but because you are better and because you know that everyone makes mistakes; especially those who are so lost. ♥a

starting over

You cannot let anyone else decide who you are. You have to decide for yourself. So step outside and take a breath. Get your perspective back and realize what you want your journey to be. When you look back on life, make sure you see Great and not regrets.

Tell yourself this:

'I'm not giving up, I'm starting over' And go from there. Thats not weakness for it takes all the strength you possess to do just that.

Remember to forgive. Because its always the first step to anything. and forgiving is not a weakness either. its takes courage to forgive. no need to forget, it ws a lesson learned, so use it but don't ever let something keep rein on you. so forgive and move on and remember that what your forgiving is someone else mistakes and weaknesses.

Keep you load light. You will never make it if you carry too much on your back. You will eventually collapse. Take things one at a time. When you do something make it right, not rushed and sloppy because it reflects you. So keep it simple and do it correctly. We don't have much power over things so when you get hthe chance to do some things, correct them, again i encourage you to do one at a time and do it right.

Never let anyone judge you and don't judge anyone else. we are all the same. what separates us is our minds and free will. So everyone has different decision making. when you judge your only judging yourself so be careful because most know that and when you speak ill of people your speaking only of yourself. Where else would those thought realm from.

Always keep cool even when angry because you always need perspective. Never wear blinders because your missing the beauty of the world. you eventually will be trapped by darkness.

Be a leader, but lead to greatness and nothing less. And never let people who stand beside you down.

♥A.

purpose

What we go through has a purpose. What we fail to see is what that purpose is. but maybe were not supposed to know..

When you try something and it doesn't work it doesn't mean failure because failure is not trying at all. It just means it wasn't meant for you. God has bigger plans. When someone enters or exits your life its always for a meaning. They are there to help you learn something. We know that the evil surrounds us and that too is to help us see beauty that we stop seeing because of keeping blinders on.

And if there is one thing that i have learned is just because something is not happening or fitting in your life right now, doesn't mean it won't later. It just means now you are not ready.

Understanding life is not only key to survival but it will get you through the hardest of times. It will help you keep going instead of faltering and giving up. Never rely on anyone but yourself, not only is that a lesson of life but one of the most important. Just as following instinct is another.

Trust is something to be given only when you know you get it back but never trust someone who doesn't deserve it and don't give trust if you can't back it. Essentials to life lye in your hands but we don't want to see it. remember the 5 senses, they are there for a specific reason. And they are very good guides. But remember hearing is not listening, looking is not seeing, smelling is not savoring, tasting is not enjoying, touching is not feeling.

You can keep a guard up, but it only shields yourself to endless possibilities just as if you keep your heart closed, you cannot let love in and hatred out. Always have an open mind and remember that no matter what You in the end make the difference. xx

Much Love always,

A.~ ♥

Simplicity...

We fail to see the beauty in such simple things. Mostly because of the simplicity of it, and also because of ignorance. When greed manifests into wanting more and more we become blind sided to the beautiful things we already have and should cherish, and the things that surround us that we should be grateful for. But were selfish creatures of habit.

But for those who have children, is that how you want your child to be? Because we know that everything we do now is everything they learn. They see more than we think, and hear more than we know. they pick up on much more than we imagine. Then there are people who are willing to settle for such little because they are afraid of bigger things. Such as love. When people are set in their ways they become again 'creatures of habit' caring what the people who surround them think. But those people never experience anything true or pure. So worried about what people think of them or what they would say, they lose so much in life. And than wonder why..

Today I would love for you to find one simple thing to cherish. Something you already have, someone you already have, someone you know, something around you, etc. File it away or share it here with us. I will share mine. I had my coffee outside this morning with a baby squirrel sitting about 2 inches away eating his nuts. It was a beautiful morning and the watching of the squirrel, the innocence and beauty, i cherish that few moments.

And for those who already do simple and are afraid to break out of the routine, i dare you too try something without caring what people think. without wondering what your friends or others would say. i invite you to try life on for what it really is.

God Bless and with love

Ally

fence sitters

Do not Let Anyone make you feel inferior. do not let anyone make you feel like something you said, say or do is stupid or ridiculous. Never let anyone have the illusion of control. Don't pretend you do either when you don't. Understand that ignorance surrounds us, but we make the choice to fall into it or to pass it by. No one is better than anyone. period. (for a few special someone's who need to know how special they are.)

God makes no mistakes and he makes only treasures. But we decide our outcome of what and who we become. Stop following, listening to fence sitters and start leading.

Fence sitters: procrastinators; or the people who sit and do nothing while the world passes them by. their ignorant and think they are better. And most of all is they judge because they have nothing better to do than to see their reflection each morning and hate.

pray

that to worship God you must go beyond words to speak with your heart: You can mouth the words of a prayer all day long and just waste your time, unless you also speak with your heart. And to speak with your heart means to embody first. If you pray for love, be loving. If you pray for wealth, be generous. If you pray for health, practice health yourself. A.`

you&you

You must trust yourself. If you do not, then you will forever be looking to others to prove your own merit to you, and you will never be satisfied. You will always be asking others what to do and at the same time resenting their help. Trust in yourself starts with being ok with the consequences of your decisions. And always remember that mistakes are only proof of you trying.. use them as learning experiences but never lose your own trust. ♥

Response

You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think

Every morning when I get up, the first thing I decide is:

`What do I want?

`Misery? Bliss?

`What am I going to choose today?

`And it happens that I always choose bliss.

`It is my choice, it is my life.

`Life's not about expecting, hoping and wishing, it's about doing, being and becoming. ♥

It's about the choices you've just made, and the ones you're about to make, it's about the things you choose to say - today.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.

But you can change you outlook on Today xx
