You have come to teach me how to fly with wide open wings no matter how dangerous the winds may be. You have come to show me that there are no boundaries to love. You have come to help me rediscover my own treasures hidden deep down for lifetimes. You have come...although I know you have never left
It is time for Zorba to start meditating, and it is time for the people who are meditators not to allow themselves to escape from the world... Only in completion is there bliss. Only in completion have you come home. Osho

Placed right in front of me
Though I never did know
Waiting not hiding from me
But it never did show
Though I never did know
Waiting not hiding from me
But it never did show
The solution to everything
As clear as can be
To anger, to sadness
To all tragedies
Written in our hearts, in our souls
We're on our knees
In everything, in everyone
Oh can't you see
Love is the answer to all of our suffering
There's nothing in the world that it cannot defeat
Open your hearts and your minds
And you shall see that love, love
Is everything that you'll ever need
That love, love
That silent reminder
That peace
Peace, eternally
So stand tall
Just let it consume you
That love, love
What else in this world do you need?

Love is not a fairytale. Love teaches us about ourselves. There is no other. Others are just helping us to discover ourselves. True love brings out into the light all your hidden pain. Never avoid it...it is hurtful yes...u feel like your soul is breaking but in the end you will feel all your pain has vanished...you will feel nothing else but light.

Living well is not a matter of proving you’re better than everyone else. Living well is a matter of demonstrating how truly and authentically good life can be from your unique perspective.
Living well is not about needing or having or getting. Living well is about being genuinely thankful for your situation in every moment, and choosing to make it even better.
Living well can never come from putting others down. On the contrary, the surest way to living well is by lifting others up.
Living well is not wishing or hoping, or even fondly remembering. Living well is living well now.
Living well is very much within your reach, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. Give your life the outstanding value it is due, and you’ll indeed be living well.
With your thoughts, feelings and actions, celebrate the moment and celebrate the beauty of those who are around to live it with you. That is the real joy of living well.

"While pretty flowers are instantly plucked, few people pay attention to plants with thorns and prickles. But the truth is, great medicines are often made from these. Isn’t it the same with the garden of love? How can love be worthy of its name if one selects solely the pretty things and leaves out the hardships? It is easy to enjoy the good and dislike the bad. Anybody can do that. The real challenge is to love the good and the bad together, not because you need to take the rough with the smooth but because you need to go beyond such descriptions and accept love in its entirety."
The Forty Rules of Love: a Novel of Rumi by Elif Shakaf
If you like something or someone so much that his absence do not let you live, you just say "you like him", "you love him", but subconsciously you hate yourself, you do not like yourself. The world of love begins with the unconditional acceptance of yourself, not before. Any past idea from yourself´s look is always an illusion, because it no longer exists. You are innocent. Look at your circumstantial attachments with Patience, this Patience is God through you.
~ Rama
You have the ability to love. And from that ability comes every ability. Love can transform your most painful burden into your richest blessing. Stop fighting against what is and begin to love what you know you can be. Live in love, and you live with power. Live in love, and enable the best within you to know full expression. Love keeps you focused on what truly matters. Love keeps you going against all odds. Let go of worry, anxiety, anger and frustration, and love is there. It shines more brightly than ever.
Live in love. And you live in full.
Give yourself a chance to be your best. Give yourself a good, valuable, meaningful challenge.
Give yourself a challenge and then give yourself the satisfaction of successfully meeting that challenge. Reach a little higher than you’ve ever reached before, and enjoy discovering that you can do it.
The more you attempt, the more you’ll achieve. Use this day to take a bold step forward in the direction of your dreams.
Don’t be content with merely watching others achieve. Give yourself permission to join in on the fun.
There’s some real passion and ambition in you. Feel it and follow it.
Give yourself the joy of challenge, of focused action, and of achievement. With the way you live this day, remind yourself that life is as great as you choose to make it.
Ralph Marston
Heaven and heart
Remain peacefully unmoved,
Yet their life breath is
Unceasing, and is seldom
Known to rest.
The sun and moon continue on
Their courses day and night,
Yet their light has not changed
Through the ages.
Late at night when others rest,
Sitting alone I look deep into my heart.
Distractions cease, truth alone becomes
Manifest as dew appears at dawn.
The mind is then free and responsive.
Hung Ying-ming
What is hidden GROWS
Feeling is living, but it happens that feeling involves going through illusory fears and anguishes, and the ego has got used to distract you from your feelings with “the enjoyment of the world”. Some people choose the way of feeling good and improved, and of seeing themselves attractive and acceptable to others. They cover what comes out from inside, they repress and they don´t show it, they bury it because they are tired of seeing it. They do not know how to release it and so, they are even more captives of those grudges. They still do not understand what the meaning of release is. Releasing is learning that, at this level everything is the same, feeling good or feeling bad is the same ... It is the same... It is neither good nor bad, it is a judgment due to the great fear. Don´t classify for fear of these illusions my dear brother. There is not any person who is loved more than another, or there is not a better position than another, ... you're just afraid.
~ Rama
Deep inside our consciousness is an oasis of peace. This is the molten core of the soul, but it is not hot, it is cool. Not passive, but a source of inner power to fuel our mind and intellect, so that we can create powerful thoughts and make accurate decisions. If you can learn to go to this centre, peace will be your companion, positivity your partner, and you will be able to chill out in one second, anywhere, anytime.

All worries and troubles
have gone from my breast,
and I play joyfully
far from the world.
For a person of Zen,
no limits exist.
The blue sky must feel
ashamed to be so small. Soseki
Only a man of Zen, only a man of enlightenment can say that.
The blue sky must feel
ashamed to be so small.
Your consciousness becomes so vast, and in that vastness, in that oceanic-ness, who cares about trivia, whether your tie is tied rightly or wrongly? Who cares about small things?
And all our worries are about small things. You have never worried about anything great. Just look back and you will not find a single thing about which you can say, “It was great that I worried about it” — just very small things.
This is love:
to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of life.
In the end, to take a step without feet;
to regard this world as invisible,
and to disregard what appears to be the self.
Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers,
to see beyond seeing itself,
to reach and feel within the breast.
Rumi
When you’re doing what you do, do it with joy. Instead of waiting for the situation to bring you joy, choose to give joy to the situation.
Give joy for the fact that you’re here to experience whatever you may be experiencing. Give joy for the satisfying reality that you’re making a difference in life.
Give joy to what you do, and you’ll be more positively focused and effective at it. Give joy to the people you encounter, and you’ll give those encounters a very good chance of being positive and fulfilling.
Be the person who brings positive energy into the room. Be the person who reminds everyone else how good it can be to be alive.
Simply choosing to be joyful can actually make you joyful. It’s a powerful choice that you can make at any time, again and again.
Joy costs you nothing to give, and it can mean so much to everyone it touches. Give joy, live joy, and experience life at its best.
Ralph Marston

you worry to much dear one...
all that you want
is here right now
do not be deceived this is not so...
for everything you want,
every thing
is given you
from Love,
with Love,
made from Love.
All IS Love.
When all you desires are "made from Love"
you finally realize:
it is all yours....
for you
are
it.
Your Happiness lies in your hands,
and is awaiting your happy receiving of the miracle.
NOW, more than ever before, it is important to answer the call from deep within yourself,
as your Self is waiting to be Welcomed,
as your Self is waiting for you to welcome Home.
Do not let your Self unanswered,
do not wait a moment longer for your ultimate freedom,
your long-awaited Happiness,
your pure sense of JOY,
your deep inner Peace
to be revealed to you.
For they are yours.
They belong to you.
They are in fact part of you.
A part that wants to be known by you,
as your Self makes itself known to you,
for the first time,
ever,
you WILL see the splendor and the greatness,
the brilliance and the Glory of your Being.
This is You.
Here you are.
In full Glory and Magnificence,
for the first time,
as its Majesty is no longer hidden behind the false sense of pain having let go of the “last shards” -the last remnants- of a broken dream once cherished and hold dear.
This is You.
This is who you are.
Forever one with Love.
at one with every aspect of creation,
and limitless in power and in peace.
Welcome your Self,
as you are welcomed Home.
This will be your Home where you will abide forever in JOY, in PEACE, in HAPPINESS.
Such is the Home God has meant for you.
Enter it.
And Live the Life of greatness that is yours.
the life of greatness that is yours to live.
Live it,
a life of true greatness,
that is the perfect, brilliant and absolute reflection of the Love that you recognized,
within yourself.
If you take the responsibility for your life you can start changing it.
Slow will be the change, only in the course of time will you start moving into the world of light and crystallization, but once you are crystallized you will know what real revolution is. Then share your revolution with others; it has to go that way, from heart to heart.
Osho
If something matters to you, then invest yourself in it. Put your time, energy, resources and efforts into whatever is important to you.
Don’t just claim that something is a priority. Demonstrate that it’s a priority with the way you live your life.
Without commitment, action and persistence, your dreams, hopes, and goals end up as nothing but frustrating disappointments. You’re worthy of much more than that, so work each moment of each day to create the outstanding life you deserve.
Every moment, every situation, every challenge, every obstacle provides you with the opportunity to invest yourself. Give of yourself in positive and meaningful ways, and enjoy the satisfying, rewarding returns on the investments you make in life.
The more of a vested interest you have in anything, the more fulfillment you’re able to enjoy. Life is about making a difference, so make your life truly rich by using your days to add value in creative, significant ways.
Invest yourself, joyfully and enthusiastically, in this day, in this life. Your own unique greatness is here for you to fulfill.
Ralph Marston
