You can’t know nice until you are nice You can’t know beautiful until you feel beautiful You aren’t happy for others until you feel happy yourself

You don’t see the effort of others until you put forth an effort yourself You won’t acknowledge anothers success until you have felt a sense of success yourself It’s hard to have appreciation for anything if you never had to live without it

We can not know how it is to starve when we can’t decide what to eat We can not see a heart until we can feel our own We can not extend a hand, until a hand has been extended to us

When we know something, then we can share it We need examples from each other to see how effective it is to share who we are, what we feel If one of us does something, someone else immediately learns, feels, understands its worth

We are one, we hear this and hear it WE are one when it comes to respect To dignity To feel like someone notices That someone really cares

It grows our belief that everything has good in it That when we are angry and someone puts their hand on our back and says it will be OK That is better than virtual slaps on the face with words and gestures that do nothing but give us reasons to let go

Take your initial reaction to a situation And do the opposite Instead of saying You did this or that, said this or that Say, thank you for showing me what it feels like to take on your anger, You must really be mad, although it is not obvious why You are unkind to me, because you already feel it about somewhere else I know you don’t mean what you just said I am sorry you are having a bad day

It sounds like a lot to say, however it is not Think it, and it will come to the surface in your actions All you have to say in truth is, I know you don’t mean that Sometimes that is all you need to say

And leave it to the other person to find in themselves their own motivations and they can learn that, and have a moment to think about whatever it is in their heart That is being a teacher That is showing love when we don’t know if we can This is one way to do it This is one way to care

WE think we need to wait for a good day to do better No more wasting time Time is not relevant when it comes to love

Once you have said your point, stop talking When you are in an argument, and you say why, stop talking Let the language of silence speak

When you want to tell someone how mad you are at them, Stop yourself and walk away Come back when you figure it out Minus the hurtful words that are never forgotten And the actual argument that is

It isn’t time anymore to see how much you can hurt another person It is time to realize that when that happens everyone gets hurt, not just the receiver That everyone pays, a price that is unspoken Since silence is the loudest language

Stop yourself and walk away Don’t participate in anger Strength comes from finding the love Understanding that you don’t want to fail And neither does the other person

Know that when you are angry it is when you are the most vulnerable And there is something that you did not get or understand Think in truth, if you are the other person and what is it that they actually want from you What would you want if your were to do that to someone And why

Go back with that information The better the information The greater the thought The higher the level of caring comes into play The better the exchange The more solvable the soulution

We look for everything that can clean, wipe away, and take care of everything we don’t want in life And I know we don’t want to live in anger The cleaner for Anger is how we learn to love and accept ourselves when we are not feeling our best Compassion is the buffer And understanding is the shine

Know when to stop And knowing when to stop Can only teach you where to start

When we say we fear something What is it that we mean? Do you use it as an excuse to not try or push yourself beyond it? Do we let it gain greater strength than us and then blame it for being stronger?How is it when fear wins? When fear wins It is telling us it beat us at our own mission You see, we all come here to do something Other than live, we come to grow our souls And in that we are not on one path at a time, nor are any of us on a path that is a straight line

There are turns and corners and questions and doubts There are confidence issues, self esteem questions, love of self, not known how to do And to balance things, there is love, and joy and hope Caring and trying and things looking like they did not work out as they are working out

Fear is what tells us things won’t work out Can’t work out for us, but they can for other people Fear is the culprit again

The worst fear of fear is letting fear win, that we let fear win That is simply not Fair

We give so much power to what can happen to take away That we don’t get to what would happen if we didn’t have such a fear That we don’t have to keep it around for habits sake That we don’t have to give it space so that we are left frustrated

Love is the opposite of fear When you love life, you fear nothing When you feel in love, you say anything You dress freer You are free to speak as you are when you are heightened

And then fear of losing comes in and there you are you dry up you fear speaking you worry about the person you love not loving you any more Fear, doubt and worry stagnate the soul Love frees it

We know both sides of this coin so well Is it a 50/50 chance for you? Is your love strengthened within enough to stop fear when it tries to test you?

It is only a test, a push, a shove of your soul to Hone itself, to fear When you recognize this, fear has one less leg to stand on Which can only mean you stand stronger now One thought at a time One step away from taking away from yourself

In the end, as we learn that we are a person too That we count to us Enough for us to not let our days go by with doubt of who we are And taking the chances that gives our soul exhilaration’s and hope Fear starts to look smaller and smaller

We always say “have no fear”, and we all love the saying Fear is not a fight it is a foe We take on foes everyday And Fear is not bigger than any other foe Fear is actually weakest when we are our best

Next time you hear your mind speak to you and says “you can’t do this, you don’t deserve that, this is not for you, that is too great a thing to happen to you” Talk back from your heart and say, “WHY NOT ME!” Fight it head on Tell it, it is not your friend Speak loudly to it’s mayham And softly with your love

Love is the greatest strength of all And pure in it’s energy of your movements and thoughts Turn it around and it will turn around Stop it and it will stop talking Tell it to be quiet and the cowardliness in it will obey

Fear has only the strength that we give it And as we all know fear has never amounted to anything And it is just by habit in many cases that it is even within you

We have so much love, untapped Tap in and smile at the chance Tap in and live in the difference Tap in and let love show you what it can do without fear Love really can do this, and it is one of the first things in understanding your own self love Love gives and does not need to receive It just finds a way to keep on growing and growing and growing Live in the truth that fear is the illusion that it is Love is the true leader Let it lead

Sometimes we don’t speak to each other because we really don’t know what to say We think we have to say something important or clever Stunning or worth hearing

Yet a simple, What’s Up, would do And then the person can tell you And then you can tell them

We don’t have to be so into what we would say It is the interest in others that is most loving to speak about It is the wanting to share that we are really looking for

Sometimes we are so inside our own heads We forget others even have a head Sometimes we are so worried of hurting our hearts That we can’t remember what it was like to just relax and speak

Everyone is to themselves what we are to us Everyone really does want to feel another Yet we assume they don’t

We assume a lot of things when it comes to feelings and emotions And it is usually the way that we look at things that we assume yet we all didn’t come here with the same blueprint

We all came here to teach each other Use the knowledge’s of each other Share it And give us reasons and purpose to interact

We have found so many ways to do everything ourselves In fear to need another That we don’t really know how to break the ice Once we realize we don’t want to be alone

A simple, Hey, Hi, Hello, or smile It is the interest and the attention you give No words really needed

The only thing needed is not waiting for someone else to do what we could do Because you have just read this and now you know It doesn’t take a class, a book or a mentor to tell you

Simple language is for use It does get rusty when it is not exercised And it knows just what to do once you start again

The wheels of a bicycle can only go forward Hopping on again just takes getting on So I say to you, Hey, how are you? Have a great day

Tomorrow I may say more, once you tell me how you are today And the next day, I can ask you how it all went And the next I can say, want to get a bite to eat And the next I will forget I never talked to you before

And the next day, I will have grown my circle of love Of believing there is more good in the world than I thought the day before All with a simple, Hey?

As you smile with greater ease And your foundation of love strengthened Pass along these moments as you accustom to who you are Who you are when you are giving When you feel life And when you are able to live in the sharing of yourself
