“When the soul is ready to awaken, the heart must first be broken.” ~ Sufi saying

Every man, when he gets quiet,when he gets desperately honest with himself is capable of uttering profound truths….we are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians. We only have to open up to discover what is already there. ~ Henry Miller Gm

There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way. Gm Happy Sunday all

I’ve heard it said about nature that trees bend low with ripened fruit, clouds hang down with gentle rain. Noble men bow graciously. This is the way of generous things ~ Wayne Dyer Gm

Tell me blunt truths. Hurt me. Destroy me. Make me look in the mirror with horror upon myself. If what you say is true, I can be rebuilt, anew, better, bulletproof. With hard truths as my base layer rather than comfortable lies. The question is, are you worthy of being believed?

Seek out authentic and honest people that want to see the best version of you to exist. Keep them close. Gm ❤️

Liars will literally destroy your life. I don’t say this lightly or hyperbolically. They will LITERALLY destroy your life. NEVER associate with liars. One lie, even the smallest of lies, is the signal to cut off the relationship immediately.

Pay attention to the omens

My one dog was born with a spinal problem. Super rare. We manage it, but he’s 2 years old and has lived his life with at lest a small level of pain. He acts totally different than my other dog because of this. You see it in his face even when he’s simply resting. The pain takes a toll. Every time someone goes to pet him, he shies away… worried that maybe they’ll touch the wrong spot. He doesn’t even take treats well. He goes to the other room with them to inspect them before he’ll eat them. Making sure everything is ok before he eats it. This is the same thing that happens with people that experience a lot of pain. The pain takes a toll. You can play it off, you can try to live normally, but beneath the surface you are vastly different than a person that hasn’t experienced a lot of pain. The way they move. The way they act when others approach. The way they think. Totally different. Be kind to people. You don’t know what type of pain may be lying beneath the surface.

When you compromise your morals for someone else, they now own you and can use that guilt and shame to twist you into an entirely different version of who you were. ANYONE willing to watch you compromise your morals should be viewed as your enemy. Stay in the light. Gm.

If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, then you would find nothing on your return ~ The Alchemist

Back in the gym religiously… gettin there

Gm You have yet to meet all the people that will love you. ❤️

Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. ~ The Alchemist

I’d rather love and get destroyed than close myself off to love. I’ve done both many times. Even a few weeks of real love that ends terribly is worth more than years of a closed heart.
