The Sacredness of Tears

Growing up, I was often told not to cry; that crying was a sign of weakness and men don’t cry. It is only in becoming a man that I have learned the truth about tears. Tears are sacred; tears can express the ultimate truth of you in a moment that no word could define.

Tears come in many forms and for various reasons. They are all sacred and unique. Tears can tell a story or heal an old wound. Just as you should never pass up the opportunity to learn and grow as a human being, you should never hold back the gift of sacred tears.

Thought for the Day- And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Thought on Love

Be in love...be crazy in love. Throw caution to the wind and give of yourself freely. Many people would consider this wreckless, dangerous, foolish, etc.

I would say, anyone who does not love fiercely, give all their heart, will never know the true potential of love.

We only get one shot at this. Life is too short not to be happy. I've been watching that show Bridezilla's, man that is crazy.

 Why would anyone treat another human being with such disregard? Further, why would someone allow themselves to be treated so badly?

I say love hard! Go for it! Not just with intimate relationships, but with all relationships. Love your brothers and sister, your nieces and nephews, your neighbors and co-workers. Life is what you make of it. I choose to love.

Thought for the Day- It is possible to live twenty-four hours a day in a state of love. Every movement, every glance, every thought, and every word can be infused with love.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Never Give up, No Matter What!

What is the one thing that defines success? What separates the winners in life from the “not so fortunate”? I’m sure there are multiple ways of answering these questions. But if I were to sum it up in one word I would say DRIVE!

We all have goals and dreams. We all want to achieve those goals and realize those dreams, but many of us never do. We start down the path to success only to be distracted by obstacles. Sometimes, those obstacles appear larger than life and we give up and say things like, “it wasn’t meant to be”, or ask questions like, “why does this always happen to me, why can’t I catch a break?”

The truth is, no one has ever failed who hasn’t given up. How bad do you want to achieve that goal? How motivated are you? Because I promise you, if you keep your eye on the prize and keep moving forward NO MATTER WHAT, you will get there!

Thought for the Day

Never give up; for even rivers someday wash dams away.

The Power of Laughter

Many people who know me would say that I joke a lot or I am not a very serious person. I guess they are right. I do laugh as often as possible, even in moments that others would find inappropriate like in a business meeting or public venues. Laughter is an expression of love and happiness. I feel good so I laugh.

More people should laugh and take things less serious. It not only lowers your blood pressure, but it’s fun and can create spontaneous happiness. It can also be contagious in which case, your laugh could go on to help someone; heal someone! Think about it…

 
Thought for the Day

All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs; to have love in one hand and laughter in the other.

August Wilson

Quick Thought for the Day

There are only 3 things that can make your dreams come true. They are your thoughts, your words, and your actions...think about it.

Anger

Anger is much like worrying, it serves no purpose. Yet it can be difficult to overcome. We have all worried just as we have all become angry. But can you recall the last time your worry or anger has been beneficial?

Thought for the day- There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.

Accepting Happiness

I have seen many people have everything going for themselves only to self sabotage. Many of us are afraid of success. We may not realize it but we are.

Maybe we don't feel deserving or are afraid of change. Whatever the case, we cause ourselves much suffering.

In our most natural state we are divine. We are in harmony with everything that is. It is our thinking and perceptions that interfere with the connection to this natural state.

Thought for the day- Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
