EMPATHY IS A WILLINGNESS TO OFFER CURIOSITY AND COMPASSIONATE PRESENCE FOR ANOTHER PERSON'S EXPERIENCE WITHOUT TRYING TO FIX THEM OR INSERT YOUR OWN AGENDA. Wise Heart … "sometimes you have to tell people when you miss them. you have to let them know how you feel. it's good for the soul to pour yourself out but it's even better if you do so with someone you love." — r. m. drake … PAIN IN THE BODY EXISTS TO WAKE US UP TO A PHYSICAL PROBLEM. PAIN IN THE PSYCHE EXISTS TO WAKE US UP TO A SPIRITUAL ONE. We are not meant to live in chronic psychological pain, any more than we are meant to live in chronic physical distress. Pain serves as a signal that something about the way we're living is not serving us. When this kind of pain shows up, we have to treat the root cause, not the symptom. Forget the bubble baths and splurge days. Go deep with your life. Get aligned with what matters. Surround yourself with meaningful community and challenges that grow you. The pain doesn't go away through numbing. It goes away through conscious and deliberate design. Heidi Priebe … You are allowed to be both a Masterpiece and a Work in Progress, simultaneously. … The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don't feel really good on your way to there, you can't get there. You have to be satisfied with what is while you're reaching for more. Abraham-Hicks … Never in the history of calming down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down. Thank you for visiting and taking some time for your self. |

6Q July 13, 2024 … HEALING isn't me healing you. It's not me fixing you. It's not me giving you a pill, cutting you open, or telling you what to do. Healing is YOU seeking tools, teachers, and practitioners on your path that can assist you to discover your own wisdom, find balance, listen to and honour your body, and create a meaningful quality of life that you deserve and desire. Healing is you waking up to the fullness of who you really are as a divine energetic being in this amazing world. … "Love your fucking life. Take pictures of everything. Tell people you love them. Talk to random strangers. Do things that you're scared to do. Fuck it, because so many of us die and no one remembers a thing we did. Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Don't waste that shit.” … Train your habits to stop fucking you over. Start moving in favor of your dreams! Stop doing the same shit over and over. You can make this change, dammit! Get up and create something new, something that belongs to the truest version of you. BROOKE HAMPTON … One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm. … You create your story, you live in that story, and if you don't like the story, only you can change it... You are the only one who can change your world. Don Miguel Ruiz … Forgive yourself first. Release the need to replay a negative situation over and over again in your mind. Don't become a hostage to your past by always reviewing and reliving your mistakes. Don't remind yourself of what should have, could have, or would have been. Release it and let it go. Move on. ~Les Brown Thank you for visiting and taking some time for your self. © 2024 David L White |

6Q July 6, 2024 Do not be dismayed by the brokenness in the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you. -L.R. Knost … Confidence isn't thinking you are better than everyone else, it's realizing that you have no reason to compare yourself to anyone else. Maryam Hasnaa … THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT You need to stay. And you need to stay loudly. You're afraid of making bad choices but the truth is this: the tiniest actions will influence the course of the rest of your life and you cannot control it. So many factors play a part in you being here today: a delayed train, an extra cup of tea, the number of seconds your parents took to cross the street. This is chaos theory. Sensitivity. Mathematics. You are here. And every choice you have ever made has led to right now, reading this. While you exist, every movement and moment matters; those bad choices led you to the best days of your life, if you were to play it all in rewind. So let them go. Change will come. Even if you're standing still. Butterflies will keep flapping their wings and causing hurricanes. So, make your choices and make them loud. Trust your gut. Trust energy. And if you ceased to exist? Oh, the Universe would notice. The mess that would make. The hearts that would break. So just stay. Stay for bad choices. Stay for great ones. Stay. Cause a few hurricanes. s.r.w … "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment." ~Marcus Aurelius … Meditation means awareness; to be aware of what you are doing, what you are thinking, what you are feeling, aware without any choice, to observe, to learn. Meditation is to be aware of one's conditioning, how one is conditioned by the society in which one lives, in which one has been brought up, by the religious propaganda - aware without any choice, without distortion, without wishing it were different. Jiddu Krishnamurti Beyond Violence, Part V, Chapter 1 … The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not "the thinker." The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken. - Eckhart Tolle … Thank you for visiting and taking some time for your self. © 2024 David L White |
