First collage "The Awakening"

AWAKEN from the dream world. The dream world which evolves around beauty, greed, temptations, hate, jealousy, gossip, and conformity. A dream which keeps one chained from truly being free. AWAKENING of our  inner-eye; the eye of knowledge leds to freedom.

We have the power to choose the direction we want in our lives. Through our choices we grow just like a seed and through those experiences we later become wise.

.

Brainwashed to believe that the true purpose to life is to achieve outer beauty, we then conform to be what everyone else thinks is beautiful.

The truth is to love the inner-self. Everyone is original just like a snowflake.

 

Greed and Temptation leaves to hate and suffering. It's one of the root causes for destruction.

The eye of knowledge which leads to true freedom.

Learning to Balance Things

 I've been working on how to balance my spiritual journey and my relationship with my boyfriend. It takes a lot of work for me. I have to reflect on why this part of me is a challenge.

Things I Learned While Driving Today.

 For the last couple of days I've been noticing myself getting upset at other drivers. So I started to think of ways to calm myself down. Here is what I came up with so far: 

• 1. Everyone has their own things going on in their life. They are not mindful of what's around them because they are preoccupied with their own thoughts. I WILL NOT be judgmental with other drivers motives.

• 2. Do not give rude drivers my energy, they don't deserve it. Focus on something else.

• 3. Most people put their own negative energy unto others. Do not take things personal.

• 4. I can not control the traffic so there is no use in being upset over the things I have no control over. Just go with the flow.

I'm hoping these thoughts will make my driving experience more positive.

Does anyone have their own positive thoughts or techniques while driving??

Self-Doudt

Hello Warrior

So yesterday I was self-doubting myself about this blog and whether I was able to live a positive lifestyle.I also found myself wanting to go back too the easier, simpler,non-conscience lifestyle. I didn't want to work on constantly being conscience about my actions or feelings. But it's funny because even if I didn't want to work on being conscience about my feelings, I still stopped to ask  myself why I was feeling those emotions. The conclusion to those feelings were my self-doubt and the lack of wanting to work. So now that I discovered the issue for my emotions I will remember my belief on personal growth and work on what I want manifested in my life. I will not give up. I must remember I am a WARRIOR against such negative thoughts. 

To live is to choose. But to choose well,
you must know who you are and what you stand for,
where you want to go and why you want to get there.

The Neverending Story

I love the scene in "The Never Ending Story" where the little warrior Atreyus has to walk through the Swamp of Despair. Atreyus loses hope after meeting a wise ancient turtle who tells him it's impossible to save Fantasia. He leaves the wise turtle to walk back too the Swamp which swallows anyone who gives into the emotion. I love the directors symbolization of threading through mud to signify the struggle one has without hope.

I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.

The Beginging of a Beautiful Friendship

October 24th, 2010

Hello to anyone reading this blog :) I decided today to create a blog based on my journey which I call LIFE.  I will use this blog just as I would a journal. I have always kept a journal throughout my journey. I remember my first journal  at the age of 13.My best friend Priscilla brought my first. I still remember how happy I was to receive a gift from her. The journal she gave me was blue and had different color pages which smelled!! I remember wanting to finish writing in it because I wanted to reach a new color page. I really loved my journal and still do. I'm not embarrassed to say I still have my first journal. As a matter of fact I have kept all 12 of my journals.

Reading my journals allows me to take a trip back in time and reflect on my personal growth. I sometimes surprise myself on past choices and actions. Writing in journals also allows me to take a inner snapshot of what I am feeling. I believe journals to be very therapeutic for personal and spiritual growth. It is a form of meditation for me. 

So now that I've introduced my Journal writing, On too the reason for this blog site. Lately my life has changed. I came to a realization that my life and life in general is more then money, popularity, or beauty. I believe life to be based on love,compassion, helping one another, learning not to judge, letting go of grudges and anger, spiritual growth, finding one's self-worth, happiness and inspiring others. These are the changes I choose to lead me in my journey. 

I will post quotes , journal entries,artworks, music or any thing else which inspires me to lead a more positive lifestyle. In the process I also hope to inspire and give love to anyone who needs it. 

Thank you for taking this journey with me :) 

Your friend always *Inspire*
