Invitations
Living Without Demand on One's Self
When you feel like you 'have to' do something, whatever that something is, I invite you to take a moment and feel into it. To stop the push of energy on yourself and really discern whether what you are about to push yourself to do, really does 'have to' be done. I have used the question: "will someone die if I didn't do this?" to support myself to look at it realistically.
If it is something that I feel 'has to' get done, then I look for a way to do so without pushing myself. To see if I can find a way to follow through with whatever it is, without pushing myself into it. If I cannot find a way to let go of the push on myself, I do not do it and it always works out for the better - every time. This takes trust. Very few people are living this way, and it is not always easy to do.
To martyr one's self supposedly 'for love' is not loving at all. In other words to push one's self over your own boundaries 'because you feel you have to' because everyone else does, or for whatever reason, is coercing yourself. It's a habit of our society to force one's self to do things against one's self, this then teaches our children to do things against their own selves. This is not a natural way to live at all, nor does it teach honesty. When you honestly do not want to do something, just be honest with yourself and don't. Trust yourself (which is also trusting Life itself) and see what happens.

Setting Yourself Up For Magnificence
I invite you, to start your day, from right now, and any day that it may occur to you, to invite yourself to experience Magnificence.
Go to a mirror... I mean the real mirror, that reflective glass on the wall. Look into those eyes that see you, that see the person standing there, the magnificence of simply seeing. Seeing too, the flesh, that each molecule has it's own intelligence to know itself as part of the skin - totally Magnificent! Trillions of them all knowing, agreeing, to continue Being together as your skin. Let in the magnificence of that! Nothing at all except for that magnetic intelligence holds 'you' together in one 'peace'.
The Magnificence of the blood that runs through your veins, transporting nutrients throughout the body - intricately, perfectly, without you 'doing' a single thing. Same as the breath, going in, going out, a simple movement that sends oxygen throughout the system - feeding aliveness into you, into your brain tissue, that then receives all the information, inside and out, that gives you the experience of Being Alive. That is, truly magnificent!
See what happens in your day, your moments, when you invite Magnificence to be experienced.

Trust
This invitation is the biggy, the one that if you decide to take it, will change your life around: Trust yourself.
Open up to trusting what your own heart says, no matter what you might imagine the consequences may be. The heart does not think, it Knows. In a world made up of nothing but Love Consciousness, your heart is your leader. It will get you into situations which you get to explore your way to balance in - the side effect being internal cleasing that could happen in no other way.
Trusting others can only be limited because you are not them, have not lived the moments that they have lived, so although something may be totally in alignment, in integrity for them, it may look totally untrust worthy to another. What you can Trust, is if you feel to trust another, in any given moment, and your heart says 'yes', then it is you, trusting yourSelf to trust - that's how you can include the other in your Trust.
The only one to Trust, the only one that you truly have access to, in each and every moment, is yourSelf. And, the only way to gain Trust in yourSelf, is to Trust yourself! And take steps in whatever direction your heart knows is true, then you get the real results, the real response of the Universe to Trust, and therefore, Trust yourself even more.
Can you let go to That? Can you finally hear and act on what you know is true?
Your heart is only attempting to Love you, always, all ways.

Being Your Own Best Friend in Action - Not Just Thinking About It.
Who is there, With you in every moment? You are.
If there is a looking to fulfill any aspect of your living from outside of yourSelf; any grasping for that; whatever it is, be it Respect, Love, Attention, Interest, Nurturing, Security...be creative in the moment and give whatever it is to yourself.
Whenever there is disappointment, this is only an indicator that there is an expectation of something - find the 'something' and give it to yourSelf. Care enough for yourSelf to consider allowing what you would love for others, for yourself. Realize whatever that is, in the moment of arising, and give it to yourself - somehow, someway, be creative, have fun, and find a way. Not as an act of independance, as an act of Being Loving toward yourself. Your way, is the right way, for you.
Join with us in exploring this aspect of living and Loving, you are welcome!
