Passion is when you are enriched.

Purpose is when your passion enriches others.

 

The shadows of life are tools we can use. Shadows are proof that light exists. The darkness can show us exactly where the light is. Embrace the shadows in order to find the light and then face the light.

Freedom is how we create and become.

Freedom is the path to fulfillment.

Freedom from the expectations of others.

Freedom from negative thought.

Freedom from the slavery of social norms.

Freedom from owing debts to others.

Freedom is the power of agency in action.

Emotions are contagious.

Negativity is an emotion most often shown in the form of complaining.

Stop complaining and your positive emotions will increase.

As we criticize others, we are also criticizing ourselves. When we noticed the bad in others, our own bad is shown. The best way to find the positive is to look for it, to say it, and to share it. When we share bad, we find it, everywhere. We cannot look for the bad in others and find the good in ourselves. Bad leads to bad. Good leads to good. Our inside journey is created by our outside actions – and our outside journey is formed by our inside thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.

Making others unhappy will never make you happy.

The opposite is more than true as well, the more we help others find happiness the more happiness we will feel.

The only way we can ever hear our own minds is if we let go of what we expect others want from us. This is not about what others need from us, or our responsibilities, but about wants and expectations. Letting go of outside expectations allows us to embrace who we really are, in order to know who we really are though we first have to listen to what our mind and heart are saying to us.

Charity is selfless love for the benefit of another.

 

Emilie, you are my example of Charity — Happy Birthday Meu Amor!

Our thoughts are not by definition bad. Our physiological and emotional reaction to our thoughts is what determines the quality of the thoughts. Our reactions to our thoughts determine our growth. If we keep focusing on what is wrong, then the bad starts to control. Yet, when we are positive and embrace the good, our outcomes improve.

Saying sorry works.

Meaning you are sorry is worth the effort to change.
