"BEING REALISTIC IS THE MOST COMMONLY TRAVELED ROAD TO MEDIOCRITY."
— will smith

Mos Burger

"The Cause of Happiness May Be the Cause of Misery."

"There is no gift of nature, or effect of art, however beneficial to mankind, which, either by casual deviations, or foolish perversions, is not sometimes mischievous. Whatever may be the cause of happiness, may be made, likewise, the cause of misery. The medicine, which, rightly applied, has power to cure, has, when rashness or ignorance prescribes it, the same power to destroy."
-– Samuel Johnson

The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success

The Law of Pure Potentiality -
Take time each day to be silent, to connect with your spirit, just be.
Practice non judgement. Begin each day with the statement, “Today I shall judge nothing that occurs”, and throughout the day remind yourself of that statement each time you catch yourself judging.
Commune with nature. Silently observe the intelligence within everything. Watch a sunset, listen to the sound of the ocean, or simply smell the scent of a flower.

The Law of Giving and Receiving -
Give a gift to everyone you encounter, be it in a compliment, a flower, or a prayer. This will begin the process of circulating joy and affluence in your life and in the lives of others.
Gratefully receive every gift that life offers you. Be open to receiving, whether it be a material gift from others, a complement, or prayer.
Silently wish everyone you encounter happiness, joy, and laughter. By giving and receiving gifts of caring, affection, appreciation, and love, you will keep wealth circulating in your life.

The Law of Karma (or Cause and Effect) -
Witness the choices you make in every moment. The best way to prepare for any moment in the future s to be fully conscious in the present.
Whenever you make the choice, ask yourself two questions: “What are the consequences of this choice?” and “Will this choice bring happiness to me and to those who are affected by this choice?”
Ask your heart for guidance, and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, go ahead with that choice. If the choice feels uncomfortable, then don’t make that choice.

The Law of Least Effort -
Accept people, circumstances, and events as they are in this moment. When confronted with any challenge, remind yourself, “This moment is as it should be.” because the entire universe is as it should be.
Take responsibilities for your situations without blaming anything or anyone including yourself. Every problem is an opportunity to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.
Relinquish the need to defend your point of view. In defenselessness, you remain open to all points of view, not rigidly attached to one of them.

The Law of Intention and Desire -
Make a list of your intentions and desires, and look at this list before you go into silence, before you go to sleep at night and when you wake up in the morning.
Release your desires to the field of pure potentiality, trusting it to handle all the details for you. Know that when things don’t seem to go your way, there is a reason.
Practice present-moment awareness in all your actions. Refuse to allow obstacles to consume your attention in the present moment.

The Law of Detachment -
Practice detached involvement. Stay alert to the opportunity within every problem by letting go of your idea how things should be.
Accept uncertainty as an essential part of your experience. In your willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously appear.
Remain open to all possibilities and enjoy every moment in the journey of your life —— all the fun, mystery, and magic in the field of pure potentiality.

The Law of Dharma (or Purpose in Life) -
Nurture the divinity within you, the spirit animating your body and mind, by carrying the consciousness of timeless Being in the midst of time-bound experience.
Make a list of your unique talents. Then list all the things that you love to do while expressing these talents.
Ask yourself daily, “How can I help?” and “How can I serve?” The answers to these questions will help you to serve your fellow human beings with love.

LIFE IS SWEET....

GUESS WHAT?!?! #89. get a passport

i got my passport. i got my passport. i got my passport. i got my passport!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“ Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

Bob Marley

...

“ You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there."

IT'S SIMPLE.... MAKE UP UR MIND 2 B HAPPY and just B HAPPY... b happy, b content n ur spirit, enjoy and appreciate the simple things n life!

yes, i know that sometimes things get hard. yes, i know that we all cant b happy all the time. yes, i know that we all cant and wont overcome struggles/circumstances n life... but i learned from a friend that its about perspective! its about how we choose 2 live and grow and perceive those events.

ur hungry and dont have money 2 eat? at least ur babies arent hungry.

cant afford 2 b fresh and fly? at least u dont have holes in ur shoes.

can't pay ur rent? at least ur not among the 300 Americans living w/ HIV/aids

April 22 = Do something positive for the planet...but tomorrow will come and the world will soon forget about all the commitments of Earth Day. Check out this link for a helpful article called : 8 Ways to Make Everyday Earth Day...

In addition, if you are REALLY serious about making change, go to the Earth Day Network's personal actions registration tool. You can enter your personal action there, "be it recycling, planting a tree, changing out your lightbulbs, or any action you have personally taken to better the earth. You will be one of a billion people worldwide we hope to activate for Earth Day." You "will count you as a member of The Green Generation, a movement toward sustainability that includes everyone."

please...please try to take care of our Mother Earth.
