To Change
To Change
To change is indeed a state of mind. When one resists the healing of change they perpetuate confusion of the soul. The soul only knows change. If we accept the souls needs as our own we see the imperfections of ourselves and others as acceptable and even look forward to the opportunity! When we embrace those imperfections, when we show love for those imperfections, we have stepped up one rung on the ladder of evolution.
Seek not to be perfect, seek not those that are perfect for therein lies no growth. Rather seek out your imperfections and embrace those of others and walk together the road to perfection. When you are truly on that path shall you see the beauty of imperfection as a manifestation of your own perfection. Therein lies your happiness!!!

Funny of the Day!!!
I was in the public toilets and had just closed the door when a voice from the next cubicle said "Hi !, how are you ?"
Embarrassed, I said, "I'm doing fine".
The voice said "So what are you up to ?".
I said, "Just doing the same as you!".
From next door, "Can I come over?".
Annoyed, I said " rather busy right now".
The voice said, "Listen, i will have to call you back, there's an idiot next door answering all my questions".

Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the old. Invite in the new.

New years resolutions.
Now that the year is
beginning to draw to a close we begin to look back over the year that was and
look forward to what we want to achieve for the next year.
It is easy to take measure of all that we wanted to achieve and did not achieve, and think that we have failed or not taken advantage of the opportunities that were granted us over the past 12 months.
The phrase "life is what happens when you are making other plans" never rings truer than at the end of the year and we reprimand ourselves for all the things we did not do. But is this constructive?
Hells no!
Life is all about change, growth and adventure. If you achieved all your resolutions for this year then way to go. You get a gold star.
If you didn't, then the chance start a new year with even more enthusiasm is almost upon you.
Resolutions are a funny thing. You see they are not exclusive to the New years period, you can make a choice to change something in your life at any time of your choosing. In fact every moment in your life is a chance to say "I am going to...". There is infinite power in those 3 dots at the end. Right there at the end of that sentence is infinite possibility. Now I'm not talking about saying, " I am going to sprout wings and fly around the sun with a feather up my butt". I am talking about making real choices about who we are, how we will approach our day and what we will do with the moments that are given to us.
If you want to quit smoking, you don't need a New Years resolution to do that.
If you want to lose weight, you don't need a New Years resolution to do that.
If you want to hit the gym, you don't need a New Years resolution to do that.
If you want to learn the guitar, you don't need a New Years resolution to do that.
If you want to finally finish that book, you don't need a New Years resolution to do that.
New years resolutions are great because they are 1 thing that helps to give us focus on what we want for the year ahead, but they certainly don't have the monopoly on life choices.
Make the decision every day to be mindful of the moments, the opportunities and the people around you and you will find that the things you want to achieve are not bound by dates but by your own thinking.
Dream, Believe, Create!

Kahlil Gibran on Joy and Sorrow
JOY and SORROW
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well
from which your laughter rises
was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
~*~
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
~*~
Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.
Soulfood
Set yourself free from anything that might hinder you in becoming the person you want to be. Free yourself from the uncertainties about your abilities or the worth of your dreams, from the fears that you may not be able to achieve them or that they won't be what you wanted.
Set yourself free from the past. The good things from yesterday are still yours in memory; the things you want to forget you will, for tomorrow is only a sunrise away. Free yourself from regret or guilt, and promise to live this day as fully as you can.
Set yourself free from the expectations of others, and never feel guilty or embarrassed if you do not live up to their standards. You are most important to yourself; live by what you feel is best and right for you. Others will come to respect your integrity and honesty.
Set yourself free to simply be yourself, and you will soar higher than you've ever dreamed.

Fav Tune..
Ameerrah
I miss hearing your voice
All the words that you said to me
But now this empty space fills me up and takes over me
And I can’t escape it
It always keeps coming back
The sound of missing you
I hear it all around
The sound of missing you
The silence is so loud
The sound of missing you
All the words that you said to me
But now this empty space fills me up and takes over me
And I can’t escape it
It always keeps coming back
The sound of missing you
I hear it all around
The sound of missing you
The silence is so loud
The sound of missing you
