A Beautiful Heart

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town
proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.
A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect.
There was not a mark or a flaw in it.
Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen.
The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.

Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said,
"Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine."
The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart.
It was beating strongly ... but it was full of scars ...
it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in ...
but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges.
In fact ... in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.
The people stared ... how can he say his heart is more beautiful ... they thought?

The young man looked at the old man's heart ... and saw its state and laughed. 
"You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine ...
mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."
"Yes" ... said the old man ... "yours is perfect looking but ...
I would never trade with you.
You see ... every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love ...
I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them ...
and often they give me a piece of their heart
which fits into the empty place in my heart ...
but because the pieces aren't exact ...
I have some rough edges ... which I cherish ...
because they remind me of the love we shared.

Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away ...
and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me.
These are the empty gouges ... giving love is taking a chance.
Although these gouges are painful ...
they stay open ... reminding me of the love I have for these people too ...
and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting.
So now do you see what true beauty is?"

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks.
He walked up to the old man ... reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart ...
and ripped a piece out.
He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.
The old man took his offering ... placed it in his heart ...
and then took a piece from his old scarred heart ...
and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart.
It fit ... but not perfectly ... as there were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart ...
not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever ...
since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.
They embraced and walked away side by side.

Forgiveness ... A Very Good Understanding of Forgiveness

One of my teachers had each one of us bring a clear plastic bag and a sack of potatoes.
For every person we'd refuse to forgive in our life, we were told to choose a potato,
write on it the name and date, and put it in the plastic bag.
Some of our bags, as you can imagine, were quite heavy.

We were then told to carry this bag with us everywhere for one week,
putting it beside our bed at night, on the car seat when driving,
next to our desk at work.

The hassle of lugging this around with us
made it clear what a weight we were carrying spiritually,
and how we had to pay attention to it all the time to not forget,
and keep leaving it in embarrassing places.

Naturally, the condition of the potatoes deteriorated to a nasty slime.
This was a great metaphor for the price we pay
for keeping our pain and heavy negativity!

Too often we think of forgiveness as a gift to the other person,
and while that's true ...
it clearly is also a gift for ourselves!

So the next time you decide you can't forgive someone, ask yourself ...
Isn't MY bag heavy enough?

Encouragement ... Self Love ... Happiness

The Awakening

A time comes in your life when you finally get it ...
when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity,
you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out ...
ENOUGH!
Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on.
Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum,
you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.
This is Your Awakening.

You realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change,
or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon.
You realize that in the real world there aren't always fairy tale endings,
and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must Begin With You ...
and in the process a sense of Serenity is born of Acceptance.

You Awaken ...
to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always
love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are ... and that's OK.
They are entitled to their own views and opinions.

You learn the importance of loving and championing yourself ...
and in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.
You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you -
or didn't do for you
and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.
You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say
and that not everyone will always be there for you
and that everything isn't always about you.

So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself ...
and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance.
You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are
and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties ...
and in the process a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.
You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view.
You begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.

You learn the difference between wanting and needing
and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown,
or should never have bought into to begin with.
You learn that there is power and glory in creating and contributing
and you stop maneuvering through life
merely as a "consumer" looking for your next fix.
You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity
are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era,
but the mortar that holds together the foundation
upon which you must build a life.

You learn that you don't know everything,
it's not your job to save the world and that you can't teach a pig to sing.
You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry
and that martyrs get burned at the stake.
Then you learn about love.
You learn to look at relationships as they really are
and not as you would have them be.
You learn that alone does not mean lonely.
You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes.
You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility
and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO.

You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside,
smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.
You learn that your body really is your temple.
You begin to care for it and treat it with respect.
You begin to eat a balanced diet,
drink more water, and take more time to exercise.
You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty
and so you take more time to rest.
And, just as food fuels the body,
laughter fuels our soul.
So you take more time to laugh and to play.

You learn that, for the most part, you get in life
what you believe you deserve,
and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for
and that wishing for something to happen
is different than working toward making it happen.
More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success
you need direction, discipline and perseverance.
You also learn that no one can do it all alone,
and that it's OK to risk asking for help.

You learn the only thing you must truly fear is fear itself.
You learn to step right into and through your fears
because you know that whatever happens you can handle it
and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.
You learn to fight for your life
and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.
You learn that life isn't always fair,
you don't always get what you think you deserve
and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people ...
and you learn not to always take it personally.

You learn that nobody's punishing you
and everything isn't always somebody's fault.
It's just life happening.
You learn to admit when you are wrong
and to build bridges instead of walls.
You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy
and resentment must be understood and redirected
or they will suffocate the life out of you
and poison the universe that surrounds you.
You learn to be thankful
and to take comfort in many of the simple things
we take for granted,
things that millions of people upon the earth
can only dream about ...
a full refrigerator, clean running water,
a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.

Then, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself
and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself
and to never, ever settle for less than your heart's desire.
You make it a point to keep smiling,
to keep trusting,
and to stay open to every wonderful possibility.
You hang a wind chime outside your window
so you can listen to the wind.
Finally, with courage in your heart,
you take a stand, you take a deep breath,
and You Begin To Design The Life You Want To Live
As Best You Can.

Written by ... Sonny Carroll

This is stepping into self empowerment and finding inner peace.
It is an awakening to the fact that your happiness depends solely on you and always has.
Awaken to the beauty you truly hold.

What Is Your Impression Of Heaven?

A man and his dog were walking along a road.
The man was enjoying the scenery,
when it suddenly occurred to him that he as was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog had been dead for years.
He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road.
It looked like fine marble.
At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch
that looked like mother of pearl,
and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.
He and the dog walked toward the gate, as he got closer,
he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is heaven, sir," the man answered."
Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked."
Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?"
the traveler asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road
and continued the way he had been going.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill,
he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate
that looked as if it had never been closed.
There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside,
leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"
"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there",
The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate.
"Come on in."
"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.
"There should be a bowl by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sure enough,
there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself,
then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full,
he and the dog walked back toward the man
who was standing by the tree waiting for them.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is heaven," was the answer.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said.
"The man down the road said that was heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates?
Nope. That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"
"No. I can see how you might think so ...
but we're just happy that they screen out the folks ...
who'll leave their best friends behind."

Would Love really do this? ...
Would it separate us from our fury loved ones?  We know this answer in our hearts.
Love ... Loves us all ... includes us all ... omits no one ... no thing ... nothing, ever.
Where have our hearts been to even allow any kind of teachings that say this could be possible?
How could our consciousness arrive at such an unloving conclusion of separation?
Would the Grandest Love of all really keep the animals apart from us, dear one?
These are the kind of questions we need to begin asking.
Anyone or anything that separates in this way or any way does not know what Divine Love Truly Is.
Awaken to what truly lives inside of us  ... It is Divine Consciousness and Divine Love for all.

The Special Olympics

A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics,
nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled,
assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash.
At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash,
but with a relish to run the race
to the finish and all, that is, except one little boy
who stumbled on the asphalt,
tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry.

The other eight heard the boy cry.
They slowed down and looked back.
Then they all turned around and went back ... every one of them.
One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said,
"This will make it better."
Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line.
Everyone in the stadium stood,
and the cheering went on for several minutes.
People who were there are still telling the story ...
Why?
Because deep down we know this one thing ...
What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves.
What matters in this life is helping others win,
even if it means slowing down and changing our course.

"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle."
And they call some of these people retarded...?
Author Unknown

Theses beautiful souls knew exactly Who They Were and what was most important ...
They expressed Divine Love in All Its Glory in the most magical of ways.
Each person has this beautiful expression of Love within them ...
but many times we hold ourselves back from expressing it.
We know exactly what feels good in our hearts.
Why then do we hesitate in our actions?
A hard question to pose to the self.

It makes us think ... doesn't it?
What a beautiful event ... when a soul leaves the normal realm to finally think and Love on their own.
When we re-connect with our "feelings" we enter the depths of our hearts and  we remember ...
that we too have this beauty within us that is just waiting to be expressed.
Remember to always "think and feel" on your own, dear one, do not go by what others say to do ...
for this gift we hold through feeling is Divine Love Itself
and you just may miss the most beautiful expression of you.

"Of Roses and Thorns"

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully.
Before it blossomed, he examined it.
He saw a bud that would soon blossom.
He also saw the thorns, and he thought,
"How can any beautiful flower come from a plant,
burdened with so many sharp thorns?"
Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose,
and before it was ready to bloom, it died.
So it is with many people ...
Within every soul ... there is a Rose.
The "G-d-like" qualities planted in us at birth,
growing amidst the thorns of our faults.
Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.
We despair, thinking nothing good can possibly come from us.
We neglect to water the good within us,
and eventually it dies.
We never realize our potential.
Some don't see the rose within themselves ...
It takes someone else to show it to them.
One of the greatest gifts a person can possess ...
is to be able to reach past the thorns and find the rose within others.
This is the truest, most innocent, and gracious characteristic of love -
to know another person,
including their faults, recognize the nobility in their soul,
and yet still help another to realize they can overcome their faults.
If we show them the rose, they will conquer the thorns.
Only then will they blossom,
and most likely, blooming thirty, sixty, a hundred-fold,
as it is given to them.
Our duty in this world is to help others,
by showing them their roses and not their thorns.
It is then that we achieve the love we should feel for each other.
Only then can we bloom in our own garden.
Author Unknown

Are you forgetting to water "your own rose", dear one?
Have you put the responsibility on another to water your rose for you?
If you have ... did you realize you just put your "happiness on hold"
while you are waiting for that other to do this for you?
If we take the responsibility ourselves to water our own rose, dear one,
we enter happiness now ... instead of later or perhaps never.

It is very beautiful to help others holding Love in our hearts
but it is just as important to take the time to help ourselves as well.

The Man In The Glass

When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
and the world makes you King for a day.

Just go to the Mirror and look at yourself
and see what that Man has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or wife
upon you whose judgement must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life,
is the One Looking Back From the Glass.

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
for he's with you clear up to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous difficult task,
if the Man in the Glass is your Friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life.
And get pats on your back as you pass.

But your Final Reward will be Sorrow and Tears ...
if you've Cheated the Man In The Glass.

We cannot cheat ourselves in any way dear one.
For what lives in our hearts always knows us very well.
When we finally find self Love ... all things change for the better.
When you look in the mirror and Love what you see  ...
the magic you have been waiting for will come to be.

Personal growth and self empowerment comes with self Love.

Making A Difference

One day a man was walking along the seashore.
He noticed that during the night
many seashells and starfish had washed up on the shore.
Thoroughly enjoying the morning sun and cool sea air,
the man strolled for miles along the sand.
Far off in the distance, he saw a small figure dancing.
The man was joyous that someone was celebrating life
in such a grand and uninhibited manner.
As he drew closer, however ... it became apparent
that perhaps the figure was not dancing
but was repeatedly performing some ritual.
. Approaching the small figure, the man noticed that it was a child.
The girl was methodically picking up starfish from the shore
and tossing them back into the surf.
The man paused for a moment, puzzled, then asked ...
"Why are you throwing those starfish?"
"If I leave these starfish on the beach," she replied,
"the sun will dry them, and they will die.
So I'm throwing them back into the ocean
because I want them to live."
The man was silent for a moment, impressed with the child's thoughtfulness.
Then he motioned up and down the miles and miles of beach and said,
"There must be millions of starfish along here!
How can you possibly expect to make a difference?"
The young girl pondered the man's words for a moment,
then she slowly leaned over, reached down,
and carefully picked up another starfish from the sand.
Pulling back, she arched the starfish gently into the surf.
She turned to the man and smiled.
"You may be right," she said ...
"But I Made A Difference For That One!"
-Author Unknown-

The Last Day

She was given 24 hours ...
"This is to inform you that today will be your last day ...
Please make every effort to get your affairs in order and take care of all last minute contacts.
" She knew it was coming, but still she was shocked.

"Time seemed to fly by," she thought to herself.
"I had so many great things going.
I don't understand why this should happen now."

But often this happens with no particular explanation, rhyme or reason.

She was angry, confused and saddened by it all.
But after some reflection and a few tears she began gathering her belongings.

Then pulling out her address book, she started with the "A's"
and made her final phone calls.
"I've always enjoyed my conversations with you, Linda. I just wanted to tell you
that I think you have some great talent. Don't waste a moment of time.
Keep working as hard as you do and you'll make it," she told one person.

"You've been my strength, my inspiration through all of these years.
If I haven't told you enough, I hope you know how much I love you and your family,"
she said to another.

In just a few short hours she was able to reach most everyone she wanted to talk to.
She even contacted some of the people on her email list
with whom she had casual contact over the past few years.

On the way home she stopped by her hairdresser to say thanks for the great job she did.
"It took some magic to make me look good," she joked with her.
They hugged, shed a few tears and she continued on.

Arriving at home, she wrote out a few personal note cards
she wanted to leave for the mailman, the mechanic who kept her car is such great shape,
the woman behind the meat counter at the market.
"You always gave me such great service and you have such a beautiful smile,"
she wrote to her.

Before her family arrived, she decided to take a walk around the neighborhood.
Along the way she smiled and greeted everyone with a cheerful, "Great day, isn't it?"

Passing by the park she succumbed to her child-like desires and spent a few minutes
on the swings and sliding board.
Laughing and giggling, she drew the attention of some of the parents.
Seeing the joy on her face, they joined in.

As she continued around the neighborhood she stopped by the local flower shop
and bought all the daisies they had.
Taking this walk full circle she handed a flower to everyone who passed by ...
"Take time to enjoy the beauty of the world. You are so much a part of it!"
she told each one.

Yes, it seemed like this last day might very well be her best day.

She returned home to the comfort and love of her family.
They talked for hours about the wonderful times they shared
 and how grateful they were to her for all she had done for them.

Then in the early morning hours, as she lay in the arms of her loving husband,
surrounded by her children, she breathed her last breath on her last day.

The reality is we never do get that notice.
Few ever have the time to get all of their affairs in order.
We may not have that last chance to tell those we love how much they mean to us.

We don't have the 24 hours to thank the people in our lives,
give encouragement to those who need it,
appreciate the kindness of those who touch our lives daily
or give the gift of hope to perfect strangers.

How wonderful it would be if we could ...

You can, you know ...
Live each day as if it were your last.

Live life in love and on your last day, you'll leave in peace.

What Life is All About

Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have.
Or how accepted you are.

Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you are alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to date,
or how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed. It's not about sex.

It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have,
or what kind of car you drive, or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are, or what clothes you wear,
what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.

Not about what grades you get, how smart you are,
how smart everybody else thinks you are,
or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you are at "your" sport.

It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper
and seeing you will "accept the written you."

But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.

About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it.

But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts
in such a way that could have never occurred alone.

Only you choose the way those hearts are affected,
and those choices are what life's all about.

The Carpenter

Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict.
It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side,
sharing machinery and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.

Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and
it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words
followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John's door.
He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days' work" he said.
"Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with?
Could I help you?"

"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you.
Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor, in fact, it's my younger brother!.

Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee
and now there is a creek between us.
Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll do him one better.
See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence - an 8-foot fence  
so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore."

The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation.
Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."

The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready
and then he was off for the day.
The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing.

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.
The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped.
There was no fence there at all.
It was a bridge -- a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other!

A fine piece of work, handrails and all, and the neighbor, his younger brother,
was coming toward them, his hand outstretched.
"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."

The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge,
and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand.

They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder.
"No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.

We need to ask ourselves ...
Are we building bridges from our hearts to one another or building blocks between us?
Are we finding the things we have in common with one another
or are we focusing on our differences?
Every person on Mother Earth wants to be Loved and wants to give Love.
Every person wants to be accepted and acknowledged.
Open to the Love that you are, beautiful one.
