You Are Aware of This, Aren't You?

"12 Rules for Being a Human Being"

"12 Rules for Being a Human Being"
by Marc

"Don’t try to be perfect.  Just be an excellent example of being human. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

   1. Growth requires pain. Be patient and tough, someday this pain will be useful to you. Those with the strength to succeed in the long run are the ones who lay a firm foundation of growth with the bricks that life has thrown at them. So don’t be afraid to fall apart for a little while. Because when it happens, the situation will open an opportunity for you to grow and rebuild yourself into the brilliant person you are capable of being.

   2. You will learn as long as you live.There is no stage of life that does not contain new lessons. As long as you live there will be something more to learn. And as long as you follow your heart and never stop learning, you’ll turn not older, but newer every day.
   3. There is a positive lesson in every life experience. Don’t forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things don’t go your way. If you make a mistake that sets you back a little, or a business deal or a relationship doesn’t work, it only means a new opportunity is out there waiting. And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it.

   4. True beauty lives under the skin. When you start to really know someone, most of their physical characteristics vanish in your mind. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize their scent, and appreciate their wit. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with physical beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, or want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body for a little while, but not your heart in the long-term. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, most physical imperfections become irrelevant.

   5. Only you know what you’re capable of. Unless someone can look into the core of your heart, and see the degree of your passion, or look into the depths of your soul and see the extent of your will, then they have no business telling you what you can or cannot achieve. Because while they may know the odds, they do not know YOU, and what you’re capable of. That’s something only you know.

   6. Your love creates your happiness. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give. When you love, you subconsciously strive to become better than you are. When you strive to become better than you are, everything around you becomes better too. During your youth, love will be your teacher; in your middle age, love will be your foundation; and in your old age, love will be your fondest memories and your greatest delight.
   7. You earn respect by being respectful. Respect isn’t something you can demand or manipulate by saying what you think people want to hear. You earn respect by listening, acknowledging feelings and treating others with the same respect you hope to get in return. Treat everyone with kindness and respect, even those who are rude to you – not because they are nice, but because you are.

   8. Negativity poisons the soul. Don’t let needless drama and negativity stop you from being the best you can be. Avoid the drama, and focus on what truly matters. Life is insanely short and your time is precious, so don’t waste your time on trivial matters. Let go of the things that are weighing you down. As you unclutter your life, you will slowly free yourself to answer the callings of your inner spirit.

   9. Your health is your life. Regardless of the size and shape of your body, it is the greatest tool you will ever own. Without it, you wouldn’t be alive. How you take care of it or fail to take care of it can make an enormous difference in the quality of your life. Exercise to be fit, not skinny. Eat to nourish your body.  To truly be your best, you must give your body the fuel it needs. Toss the junk and fill your kitchen with fresh, whole foods. Run, swim, bike, walk – sweat!  Good health is essential for having the energy, stamina and outlook to tackle your goals and dreams.

  10. Letting go is part of moving on to something better. You will not get what you truly deserve if you’re too attached to the things you’re supposed to let go of. Sometimes you love, and you struggle, and you learn, and you move on. And that’s okay. You must be willing to let go of the life you planned for so you can enjoy the life that is waiting for you.

  11. This moment is a gift. The truth is, your whole life has been leading up to this moment. Think about that for a second. Every single thing you’ve gone through in life, every high, every low, and everything in between, has led you to this moment right now. This moment is priceless, and it’s the only moment guaranteed to you. This moment is your ‘life.’ Don’t miss it.
  12. Your choices design your life. You have a choice each and every single day. Choose to appreciate what you have. Choose to make time for yourself. Choose to do something that makes you smile. Choose to be excited. Choose to laugh at your own silliness. Choose to spend time with positive people. Choose to be persistent with your goals. Choose to try again and again.  Within your choices lie all the tools and resources you need to design the life of your dreams, it’s just a matter of choosing wisely."

No Doubt, We are in a "World of Ineptitude" - Today in the News

I spend quite much time mornings reading, surfing and writing, taking note.  This news piece just smacked me in the face - hard.  I know of this 'end of life billing' happening a few times in my own life and circles; being charged for services, materials etc "that never happened".  My father paid medical charges for five years after we lost my mother. And they were all for naught ...

Yes, we definitely  are inept, in one manner or another.  But this story caught my eyes today.  This is outrageous!

Makes Perfect Sense

" If I can love myself and not judge myself, and see my own perfection, then I will automatically see all these in others! And the more I love myself, the more love I will have for others. It's not possible to love another more than you love yourself. Contrary to popular belief that it's selfish to love yourself, this is just so not true. We cannot give what we do not have.

How We Grow


Tuesday, February 9, 2016

Post by Coyote Prime


“Over the years you get to see what a struggle life is for most people, how tough it is, how easy it is to be judgmental and criticize and stand outside of situations and impart your wisdom and judgment. But over the decades I've got more tolerant of people's flaws and mistakes. Everybody makes a lot of them. When you're younger you feel: "Hey, this person is evil" or "This person is a jerk" or stupid or "What's wrong with them?" Then you go through life and you think: "Well, it's not so easy." There's a lot of mystery and suffering and complication. Everybody's out there trying to do the best they can. And it's not such an easy business.”
- Woody Allen

It's a Child's World Now - That World of Diversion and Toys

"So long as we are children we are attracted by toys," Mahatma Gandhi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I pity our 'world of toys'.  Of course they have intruded in today's civilization. We can't imagine otherwise.

However, I see a great loss of more important endeavors for mankind, one of which is our moral values, another: decent consideration of our fellow man.

Reading the autobiography of Gandhi has been a great eye-opener. (it is online) He was a man of great moral substance.  He was not a man without mistakes made but he also learned from his wrong decisions, seemingly so in quick time.  From each mistake he learned a lesson and that is what our life is supposed to be about - learning lessons that support and help us advance and grow throughout each and every day.

Where are we today? We are on the race course of literal destruction.  Yes, we have become a world of children who only think on our next pleasurable diversion or new ways to deceive another human being.
