Courageous is the soul who ventures into time and space to learn of their divinity. For while they cannot lose, they can think they have, and the loss will seem intolerable. And while they cannot fail, they can think they have, and the pain will seem unbearable. And while they cannot ever be less than they truly are – powerful, eternal, and loved – they can think they are, and all hope will seem lost.
And therein lies their test. A test of perceptions: of what to focus on, of what to believe in, in spite of appearances.
Courageous indeed … the pride of the Universe, and I should know.
The only difference between a friend and a foe is that you’ve decided where love will grow.
There isn’t a soul on this planet who doesn’t crave your approval.
Whoever may torment you, harass you, confound you, or upset you is a teacher.
Not because they’re wise, but because you seek to become so.

ReplyDeleteYes people who harass you, upset you they teach us a lot. As I grew older I realised that fact. - Shiva
ReplyDeleteDivinity within. This has been the theme of your blog all throughout. Remember, it was you who said in an earlier blog....that it is we who choose to be harassed, upset and tormented. Else who can trouble the divine, infinite soul? Experience is the greatest teacher, no doubt, and it can come from any source. But the soul is always pure and shining, always aware....its the mind that requires to be strong so that it can comprehend, realise and manifest this divinity in our conscious being. And you, my dear, are a shining example of such a beautiful soul.
