Everything is made of light

Everything is made of light.  We are the stars, and the stars are us.  When we see this, all of our senses are truly open and there is no need to interpret the world. In this moment, our full, unlimited potential is available to us. There is nothing blocking our way. Let go of the belief that you must obtain something or become something to be happy. You are absolutely perfect just the way you are. You live in a world that has been programmed in fear. It is hard to escape because almost everyone you interact with and yourself has become a part of this world. It is hard to see a way out. We are so easily influenced as children that we can’t even see it does not have to be this way. Each generation brings the next into this fearful world blinded to the fact there is a way out. So, the next generation accepts that this is the way it has to be. It is a vicious cycle. We can put an end to the cycle and replace it with a world of kindness, gratitude and love. Stop worrying. Just say enough is enough and turn it over to the universe.

How to let go of naivete

I learned that we can be loving, trusting people and still not allow ourselves to be used or abused. We don’t have to let people do to us whatever they want. Not all their requests are legitimate because not all requests require a yes.

Life tests us. People seek out our weak spots. If we have a soft spot in one area, we find ourselves repeatedly tested in that particular area by our family, friends, or co-workers. All these tests are trying to teach us something. When we learn that lesson, we’ll find that we can set boundaries because we own the power to say yes or no. There are moments when we may be angry with those people who pushed our tolerance over the edge. And that is perfectly fine because soon enough, we can let go of the anger and exchange it for gratitude.

Those people were set our way to help us learn about what we don’t want, what we won’t tolerate, and how to own the power of self-control. We should thank them for what we have learned.

You should ask yourself how much you are willing to tolerate, how far you should let others go, and how much anger and intuition you discount. Where are your limits? Do you even have any? Because if you don’t have boundaries, you’re in big trouble.

There are times when you shouldn’t trust others, but instead, trust yourselves and set boundaries with those around you. It will help if you forego your naïve assumption that the other person is right.

Love,
