 Every day is a do-over. Another chance to figure out how to create our own peace of mind and pure heart. This is how we heal our old wounds, our ancestral line, our traumas.
No matter what is going on in the world, when the mind is at peace and the heart is pure we are able to move through anything. And by doing so we give hope to others.  Image credit: Alexas Fotos via Pixabay Assuming you do what you like and do it respectfully …

We live in a bipolar universe. There is nothing in existence that is not bipolar. Bipolar means both/and are true, not either/or. That means we need to learn to see — and balance — the bipolar in everything. Select the best of both worlds and integrate them. Including the best of our bipolar selves. We are bipolar. That is not a pathology. Being unable or unwilling to balance our bipolar natures is where pathology can take hold. Extroversion is pathological when it is not balanced with introversion. Introversion is pathological when it is not balanced with extroversion. Embrace our bipolar nature. Become skilled at balancing every facet of the equal opposites within and without. That’s a life skill I can get behind. That’s how we end all wars for all time, too. The wars within us, and without. Image credits: Gerd Altmann, OpenClipart-Vectors, mohamed_hassan via Pixabay
 Image credit: Oliver Kepka via Pixabay Once upon a time, I sought the input from a psychologist. I’m sure she meant well.
She asked me, “What is your favorite color?” “I have many favorite colors.” “But which is your favorite?” “It’s difficult to choose! I only know I don’t like orange, does that answer your question?” She showed visible frustration as she asked the next question, “What is your favorite flower?”  Image credit: Gerd Altmann via Pixabay People who think only of what they can take from this life, create an unsustainable future of increasing terror.
People who think only of what they can give to this life, create abundance for all, generation after generation.
 It’s about way more than lies being bad
Yet, we are wise to remember that lies of all sizes and orientations break healthy connections between people. Pinocchio stories show how important it is to be real As well as the perseverance it takes to be real in a world where fake is the dangerous norm. Pinocchio stories also show how dangerous escapism is to being real When we expend our energy on escapism, the world crumbles around us - and nothing could be more sad, because the world needs us. Real People
Real

Keep heart open, anyway. This kind of pain is the greatest grief in the world … … the grief born of true love. |
