"People grow old only by deserting their ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul
"
"You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt
as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber.
"
"So long as
it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young.
When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism,
then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you
just fade away. "
"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful..
"
" Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

Spiritual Healing Is Divine Healing
Spirituality can be seen as being distinct from religion. Different world religions have proposed various belief systems about the nature of a God and humanity's relationship with it.
A human being is part of the whole, called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
"If you want to see a better world, then we have to become better people."
The first peace, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the enter of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us." "To me there is no difference between one person and another; I behold all as soul reflections of the one God. I can't think of anyone as a stranger, for I know that we are all part of the One spirit."
"The time for peace is now. Peace is not only the absence of violence, but the presence of a higher evolution of human awareness with respect, trust and integrity toward humankind."
The Power of the Divine Mother
If you need to let go of the past, and receive an inner strengthening from Mother
that will enable you to trust others, develop and maintain intimate friendships,
and enjoy your life again. You can learn how to shake off trouble and receive a
double recompense for all you have been through. As I know firsthand that Mother
is a rewarder of those who diligently seek her. Running from the past does not lead
to healing, so identify several ways people run from the past so you can avoid delays
in reaching your own victory - move forward through the doorways of pain that have
become obstacles of the future.
Many people appear to have their lives together outwardly, but inside they are emotional
wrecks because they have been traumatized by abuse. A victim of trauma is someone
who has been wounded physically or emotionally by some sudden or substantial shock
that created sever and lasting damage to the psychological development of that individual.
There are many traumatized people in the world who have been so abused in the past
that they are psychologically deficient; they are unable to function normally in
every day life. There are people who have been through such trauma that it severly
jarred their emotions, because they endured something that was so awful it was unspeakable.
Surviving the trauma of abuse can throw people into a state of psychological damage
that prohibits them from functioning properly in relationships with others. Such
victims do not understand what is wrong with them, or how to get out of their destructive
behaviour patterns so they can live a normal life.
I believe that most people are abused in one way or another during their lifetime.
Almost every person can remember a time when he/she felt mistreated. I also believe
there are multidues of people who have been severly traumatized the abuse that has
been inflicted upon them. Some common forms of abuse are: physical, verbal, mental,
emotional, and sexual. Any form of ongoing abuse can produce a root of rejection
in the individual who has been mistreated, and this defensive sense of unworthiness
can then cause major problems in the interpersonal relationships of that individual.
Today we life in a society filled with people who do not know how to get along with
other people; even though the abuse in their lives has stopped, the residue of trauma
continues to affect their ability to relate to others. God created us for love and
acceptance, but the devil works hard to keep us feeling rejected because he knows
that a lack of self-worth and root feelings of rejection injure individuals, families
and friendships
The above-mentioned types of abuse - whether they take the form of broken
relationships, abandonment, divorce, false accusations, exclusion from groups, dislike
by teachers and other authority figures, ridicule by peers - or any one of hundreds
of other such hurtful actions - can and do cause emotional wounds that can hinder
people in their efforts to maintain healthy, lasting friendships.
Gaining freedom from emotional bondage is not easy, getting free from the pain of
the past will not be easy. This discussion may provoke feelings and emotions they
have been trying to hide rather than facing them. Some people have a hard time accepting
responsibility for their own emotional health - you may think, But who will deal
with the person who hurt me? You will get around to that issue too. You may also
be wondering, what makes this woman think that she is such an authority on the subject
of emotions - especially mine?
One of the hardest things for me was the lack of stability of ever knowing what
to expect; I lived with the fear of never knowing what I could and could not do.
I could do one thing one day, but I could do the exact same thing a few days later
and slapped across the room for it. Fear was my constant companion; fear of my mother, fear of my father; fear of his/her anger, fear of being exposed, fear of my mother
finding out what was happening, and fear of having friends. There was no peace in
our home!
I think you can imagine from these few details what was my life was like. Actually,
it was ridiculous! There was nothing stable in my entire existence, and stability
was somethings that I needed and craved desperately.
God's word is truth, and, if applied, has inherent power to set a captive free.
God's Word also brings us face to face with the issues of our lives. If we choose
to turn and run away when the God says to stand and confront, we will stay in bondage.
Confused, afraid, lonely, discourage, and depressed, I often prayed, "Dear God,
please let me be happy.... some day. Give me someone who will really love me - and
make it someone who will take me". I was looking for someone to love me. Even though
my life was a mess, there was a deep desire in me to be good and pure. For my part,
I certainly did not know what love was, and was not eager to get involved with another
man.However, since things were getting ever worse, and since I was living in total
panic all the time, I decided that anything would be better than what I was going
through at the moment.
I thought that all that was behind me. It was true that it was no longer happening
to me physically, but it was all recorded in my emotions and in my mind, I still
felt the effects of it, and I still acted them out.
I needed emotional healing! It is important to take a closer look at your roots.
If they are unpleasant, harmful, or abusive, the good news is that you can be uprooted
from that bad soil and be transplanted into the good soil of Mother Durga. You can
be rooted and grounded in Her and in Her love.
I was one person on the inside and another on the outside. I prentended to be confident,
and in some ways I was. Still, I had low self-esteem. My so-called confidence was
not really based on who I was in Mother, but on the approval of others, on my appearance
and accomplishments, and on other such external factors. I was confused and full
on inner turmoil. Remember, uprooting can be traumatic and painful. Being replanted,
becoming rooted and grounded, is a process that takes time. It is by faith and patience
that we inherit God's promises, so be patient.
God's love for you is perfect - and unconditional. When you fail. She keeps on loving
you, because Her love is not based on you but on Her. When you fail, do you stop
receiving God's love and start punishing yourself by feeling guilty and comdemned?
It was a heavy burden, and it was always with me.
All we need to do is believe what the scriptures says about our relationship with
Mother. Once we do that, the healing process can begin. Believing that Mother loves
us unconditionally brings much joy and blessedness. Determine in your heart that
you will receive Mother's love. However, remember that we are all special and unique
and that God has an individual, personalized plan for each of us. Don't get lost
in methods.
Just simply pray - Mother, heal me. I am asking You for a breakthrough,. Give me
an answer: Show me the direction I need to go. Help me, Mother.
Do not ask, but ask and receive, so that your joy may be full. "Yes, that promise
of Mother is for me, and I receive it so that I do not have to live under guilt
and condemnation anymore".
No experience in your life is ever wasted or in vain if you give all your cares
to the Mother. Even if your fragmented life looks like an abandoned battlefield,
Mother can reshape all the pieces of your past into something beautiful.
Mother is faithful! Dream big dreams, and never stop hoping!
I hope the text aforementioned, after reading intently, may get all you desire for...
"The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them."
