And What Has Life Taught You?

I think it is time to step back and consider a few eternal home truths as we are going through this major transitional phase in our world. It is easy to lose sight of the essentials in life. We lose the ability to be happy and the trust that we can create the lives we want when we become immersed in our worries and live our suppressed fears. We are totally forgetting that fear and panic are just the other side of the same coin.

Duality is the means through which this universe manifests itself. It is the means that allows us to see the kaleidoscope of the world unfolding in all its limitless possibilities. I have said it before and I will say it again: The onslaught of negative news emanating from the media is not only unhelpful, feeding a roller coaster of panic but it also ignores the fundamental law of our existence: Duality.

Nothing is ever all negative. It just is impossible. If you only see the negative, you are being swayed along with the media mania and the collective consciousness that is in a trance unwittingly self induced through lack of self awareness and subsequent ignorance. Its like insisting that a coin only consists of the site with heads.

I recommend that you watch as little TV as possible. Stay away from the news and do not buy daily papers. If something important happens someone will tell you, believe me. Just following this simple advice will reduce your stress and anxiety levels considerably and help you focus within and concentrate on you and strengthen your mind set to become more resilient and independent from the collective consciousness. To help you with this here are a few things life has taught me that everyone should take to heart.

Life taught me that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

Life taught me that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

Life taught me that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

Life taught me that there is always opportunity, if I am willing to see it

Life taught me that detaching from everything, and I mean everything, actually brings it closer to you

Life taught me that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

Life taught me that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

Life taught me that it is okay to say no to other people. If I am not okay I can't help anyone

Life taught me that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

Life taught me that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

Life taught me that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

Life taught me that even when I am upset, I don't have to let my feelings out on other people.

Life taught me that every day you should reach out to someone. People love to be connected - and so do animals.

Life taught me that a small gesture often comes back to you ten fold. Its a universal law..

Life taught me that I still have a lot to learn and will learn until the day I die

Life taught me that everything I am searching for is already there, right inside me

Life taught me that nothing is good or bad, but only if I make it so

Life taught me that as a human being on this earth I am what I persistently do and think.

Life taught me that you should pass this on to someone you care about. I just did. Maybe you know someone who needs a little encouragement to carry on

And finally: Life taught me that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel...
