It is pointless to compare ourselves to others.
It is the quality of our loving, and who we are in relationships, that is uniquely ours. Nobody can ever compare to the unique beauty we choose to share with the world. We can only be the very best version of ourselves that we can be, body, mind, and soul, and bask in the knowing that one fraction of our loving energy is enough to power the entire world forever.

Earth is a school. When challenges present themselves be assured that school is in session and there is a lesson to be learned. As long as we are breathing on this Earth our opportunities for personal and spiritual growth will continue to present themselves. It is our choice when but not what we learn. In a slightly louder volume each time, the loving Universe will continue to present us with the lessons we need for our soul’s evolution. Choosing to actively engage our growth opportunities as they are presented is the difference between learning through pain and hardship versus learning through ease and grace.

Nothing kills relationship faster than criticism, harshness, and unkindness. Every word, every touch, every action, communicates kindness and love, or disapproval and contempt. Be kind. Whether you need to express a positive or a negative feeling do so with great care to not hurt one another.

There is a moment in which all of the complexities of our life become crystallized into one singular idea, when we can see with astonishing clarity how all the intricate spokes of our story converge in this one central core - that everything else revolves around the question of “Do I love myself?”
“When someone comes to me with a problem, I don’t care what it is: poor health, lack of money, unfulfilling relationships, or self esteem issues... there is only one thing that I ever work on, and that is LOVING THE SELF. I find that when we really love, accept and approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works.” - Louise Hay

HAPPY FUEL
What fuels you? What makes you happy? What gives you a deep sense of joy, satisfaction, or contribution? When we connect with something that we feel passionate about we feel energized and inspired. Life is too short to spend it doing things we don’t enjoy, no matter what the monetary reward. The “Great Quest” of finding and then connecting with your passion will fuel you from within, mobilize your creativity, and instill a deep sense of happiness.

This business of being a human being can be difficult at times. We mess up quite often, but we are also capable of great beauty, and acts of kindness and love.
We are all, for the most part, doing the best we can.
Give kindness, love, and compassion to others, but save some for yourself as well.
You deserve it.

If you’ve been successful at achieving something or mastering an emotional state, even just once, it means that you have the capability and the neural roadmap for doing it again.
As you continue to grow and evolve as a person, write down how you got here. Journaling can be one of the most rewarding practices in your growth journey.
If you lose your way, nothing is more powerful to redirect you than your own words and insight.

FORMULA FOR A HAPPY LIFE
1) Upon awakening, give thanks for the gift of another day.

2) Then ask inwardly:

“What would be the most meaningful use of my time and energy today?”

“What would give me the most joy, sense of connection, contribution, satisfaction, happiness, and love?”

“What would make me feel the most alive?”

3) Do your best to live each day the way you intended, without judging yourself if it doesn’t turn out exactly as you planned.

Tomorrow is another day.

In Spanish, to bless (bendecir) is composed of two words: bien + decir which literally means “to speak well of.” To curse (maldecir) is composed of: mal + decir meaning “to speak ill of.” When we speak well of something or someone we bless them; when we speak ill of something or someone we curse them.
Our words are that powerful. Criticism, gossip, innocent put downs amongst friends, or negative comments we make are never innocent after all. They hurt, they curse, and they craft a spell of “black magic” all around us. Our words have the power to lift, to bless, and to bring love and positivity.

#1 Our brain’s natural tendency is to act like Velcro for negative thoughts and Teflon for positive ones.
#2 Our rate of self-talk is between 150 to 300 words/minute, which is approximately 50, 000 thoughts per day. As much as 77% of these thoughts are negative.
#3 It takes five positive thoughts to neutralize each negative one.
#4 Which means that we must constantly feed our minds with empowering and positive thoughts and strategies in order to be happier and more efficient men and women.

Children do not need our help connecting to their feelings.
They feel.
They do need our help validating, naming, holding, and containing those emotions.
Often, well intended adults will say “Don’t be sad”, or “Don’t be scared, Sweetie” in an attempt to shift a child away from negative emotions without first validating them. Eventually that child grows up to be an adult who is disconnected from knowing his or her own emotions… from trusting that they know what and how they feel.
To be an adult disconnected from emotions is like going into the wilderness without a map or GPS. Our emotions inform and guide us. They point us to what inside needs healing and what outside needs to be course-corrected. Our emotions make us human and guide our hearts, our creativity, our passion, and our spirituality.
Do not be afraid to connect to the small boy or girl that so long ago lost its way. Listen deeply to what he or she is saying - pay attention and connect to your inner knowing.
It will always guide you well.
