FOLLOWING A PATH WITH HEART

I want to share with you the following words of wisdom from don Juan Matus


 "Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if he feels that he should not follow it, he must not stay with it under any conditions. His decision to keep on that path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. He must look at every path closely and deliberately. There is a question that a warrior has to ask, mandatorily: Does this path have a heart?"
  "All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy-it does not make a warrior work at liking it; it makes for a joyful journey; as long as a man follows it, he is one with it."




My sincerest hope is that the path you now find yourself on is one that is truly blessed with lots of love and heart! If not may you decide to leave that path and instead choose one with heart. Blessings to all of you dear folks now and always. May we all be good to ourselves and even better to others.

SOMEBODY PLEASE WAKE ME UP

I admit I am a dreamer. I dream of a better world for all of us. One where we all realize we are a part of each other. I also admit that at times it may seem this life as a human being is more akin to being a nightmare to some of us. But I think that is because we oft times lose sight of the fact of just how powerful we are. I know it's hard to not judge appearances but maybe we can all wake up and see all things work together to help unite us as a whole. I would like to now share with you a bit of wisdom from the book God I Am, From Tragic to Magic, by Peter Erbe. Please take it for what you will but I hope you will give it some deep thought.


"Brothers, awaken from your dream- there is no thing to fear. Life is not toil, nothing to get, for all that is, IS YOU. And if you Be All-There-Is then you have All  as You.
 Stand straight, walk tall, discard your burdens, fly. For fly you can, but if you dream your wings be small, how can you lift to heights where eagles soar?
 Do not compensate your dream of lack with things within the dream. Your Being is your sustenance. Do not disavow your heritage, for it is yours to take. Come, and leave your battlefields, their harvest is but fruits of fear with further seeds of fear.
 The ONE who loves you more than you can love yourself, who knows you but as children having lost their way, He calls you home. He sees only innocence where you see guilt and sin. Counsel not your dream for answers, cling to it no more, for that is all you lose, just disenchantment, broken dreams. Awaken now and dream no more!"


My sincerest wish is that all of you find all the happiness, peace, joy, and love you can possibly ever hope for. Be good to yourself and even better to others.

LITTLE THINGS I'VE LEARNED

For those of you who are readers of my blog you may see this entry as being a little different from most. But I do hope you will enjoy it. Having just celebrated another birthday here recently got me to thinking of things I have learned over the period of all these years. I thought I'd take a moment and share a few of them with you. So here goes. You better have  sense of humor cause life sure is funny!  If someone says "It ain't about the money, rest assured it is about the money! If someone you have never met tells you they are gonna help you make some money--Run! If a friend tells you they are gonna help you make some money--Run! If someone asks you to cosign a note, just give them the money as a gift if you can and want to. If you cant do that--Run! If your significant other says ""Well, if that is something you really want to do go ahead"--What they are really saying is "Don't even think about doing that!" Don't ever buy the least expensive toilet paper on the shelf--no explanation needed! If you ever think you have it all figured out, you better get ready cause life is about to turn you upside down and shake the living shit out of you! If you think money is the answer to all your problems just try to buy yourself a loyal and true friend! If you think the sun ain't never gonna come out again just keep looking out the window every morning! If you think this world revolves around you and your desires, spend a week alone in a isolated cabin in the mountains and watch the world keep on functioning without you! If you put any expectations on anyone you will wind up being disappointed at times! And if you don't expect anything from someone you will find it much easier to just love them! If you don't take responsibility for all of your actions you will never earn the respect of intelligent people! If you think life is hard, you can bet your ass it will be! If you never learn to accept disappointments, you will never be able to experience pure joy! Most importantly, If you wait on others to love you first, you will miss so many opportunities to experience a lot of love! May all of us learn to be good to ourselves and even better to each other, for if we do, then life is truly lived as a blessing!
