  • You Can’t Ever Fail in Life

    You only ever deal with the energetic hand you are dealt. “You” can never fail, because you always only are what you are. Nothing you think or do is your fault – it’s just what is (or was) the case energetically. So don’t blame yourself and never see yourself as a failure in life. 

    Still, have the mindset of always trying to do your best. Even though it’s not really “you” doing it – if you still believe in this principle, energy will actually arise to move you towards doing your best. In essence, don’t use “being only what you are” as an excuse to be less than you can be. Give it your all.

    And if you genuinely can’t do your best… It’s not your fault. But you should probably strive towards doing it. Pray for it, want it with all your heart. And if you don’t want it… It’s not your fault.

    (Btw, in the same way, nothing good you ever do is thanks to you. Instead of priding yourself in doing things, be grateful that energy arose to make them happen. It wasn’t really your doing.)

  • Inspire Others by Example

    Be an example of what you’d like to see in the world more. You will then inspire others with your actualized nature. Your vibrant spirit will spread into the minds of others, awakening a facet of God in them related to what you chose to be.

    Consider that people mostly learn by example – monkey see, monkey do. And most people don’t have good examples. By being something beautiful, you are making people realize that it’s really possible and that they could be that beauty too.

    Also, consider that you shouldn’t expect others to be what you yourself even aren’t. Otherwise, you’re a hypocrite.

    If you genuinely wish there was peace in the world, for example, YOU be Peace. What does it mean to be Peace, in practice? Think about it and truly internalize it in your life. Show others the way!

    Personally, I want to be Hope / Light / Inspiration / Positivity. It’s a long work-in-progress, but I’m taking steps each day. I genuinely want to be it and I want to see more of it in the world. I want to inspire Hope in others.

    Find out what YOU want to inspire most deeply and become it yourself.

  • There Is Always a Third Way

    Sometimes we can get caught up in the duality of choice when making life decisions – either X or Y. This can ensue when the mind tries to control what’s happening and feels obliged to make choices by itself.

    And this can feel very stressful. You feel extreme pressure from 1) not knowing what to do but insisting that you should know and 2) being locked in a limited range of options.

    The feeling of pressure is completely understandable, but fortunately it’s based on false assumptions. You have to realize that it’s not your call. The reality of you (and what you want) is what is here already. There is no choice to make – it’s already made! The real work is to accept it, face the emotional difficulty, surrender and go to where the reality is. Steerage/Guidance will move you there, if you let it.

    And Steerage will often move you into a third path, one you couldn’t have conceived on your own. Not necessarily a middle one – maybe a different one altogether.

    The secret is that there is ALWAYS a third path. There is always the way of God, which you can proceed with being led through at any moment. God creates a path where there is none and walks you through it.

    If that’s not Hope, I don’t know what is!

  • Never Give Up

    No matter what happens, there is ALWAYS hope.

    Problems and states that feel inescapable are never actually that. You have to trust in the truth of impermanence. There’s power in you to go through anything and leave it behind you. Nothing ever sticks to you forever.

    Remember your power. Have confidence in yourself. You have it in you to make it, and you’re always supported. There is Infinity in the place of your head and your Godhood is a gift. You were made to persevere.

  • The Truth of Hope

    It’s not true that what you specifically hope for will always come to reality.

    But it is true that everything will always be okay in the end. That no matter what is happening, you are able to live through. That reality goes on and you can always come to terms with it. And even when you lose everything, there is still hope. A light at the end of the tunnel.

    Have faith in what’s true. Hope is one of these things. Let it be your north star.

    You can be Hope incarnate.

  • There’s So Much Pain to Live Through

    Suffering due to breakups, loss of loved ones, failures, health problems, guilt, shame, shattering of illusions and collapse of worldview, fear, attachment.

    The full scope of pain throughout one’s life is incomprehensible. Imagine the intensity of taking it all at once.

    Life goes on in spite of the suffering though. There’s so much beauty to live through, too. The journey is worth it, even if it’s hard to feel like it sometimes. Keep your chin up and keep going. I have faith in you.
