Standards

The only person that should have to live up to your standards is YOU!
Let everyone else off the hook.
Pass no judgments.
Chances are you are wrong.

When one comes to this place of understanding, it is liberating. The energy changes and the world is a much happier place.

It's a lot easier to face each day when you are your only force to be reckoned with!

Enjoy the holidays! Live up to your standards and let the chips fall as they may!

Thoughts

YOU can't make another person feel loved.
If they aren't capable of loving themselves
in the first place...they are not going to feel
loved by you, either.
Your love can't heal another persons wounds.
Your love can't fill their heart.
In fact, your love may only serve as a reminder of their failure to love themselves.
Your love CAN call out to someone else's love and
wake it from a deep sleep, but it can't actually fill someone's emptiness.
Same goes for you, too.

Happiness

If you take your happiness
and put it in someone's hands....
sooner or later

they will break it,
or take it away.

When we get married,
we exchange rings
expecting the other person
will make us happy.

Big mistake: basing our happiness
on our partner.

Happiness can only come from inside of you
as a result of your love,
you are responsible for your happiness.

Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity... Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony.
- Albert Einstein

No "If's"

Love is unconditional.
Fear is full of conditions.

"I love you...
if you let me control you,
if you fit into the image I make for you,
if you are good to me...."

In Love, there are no "if's".

I love you for no reason.
I love you the way you are,
and you are free to be the way you are.

We don't have the right to change anyone else,
and no one has the right to change us.

No "if's".

Bridges

It's much easier to build valleys than bridges. Valleys exist when you point out every wrong, every misgiving, every hardship....Valleys are easy because they justify our feelings, disappointments and every other "dis" we've ever felt.

It's bridges we truly want.

Bridges are hard because they require an element of understanding, an element of forgiving and an element of forgetting. To build bridges, you cannot hold grudges, have a point to prove or an alterior motive. It's hard.

I've reached this point. The journey was hard and the losses many, I see what it is I want for my family and that is all that matters.

It's been a long hard road, but we're here!

Happy Holidays!
