Loyalty and respect

I believe relationships are a reflecting image of the self.  I mean...in ALL relationships; friends, family, coworkers, lovers...all of it.  Loyalty and respect begin with yourself.  Showing yourself loyalty and respect will help you have a better understanding of your emotions and your true self.
Loyalty to yourself is achieved by knowing your beliefs and allowing them to show.  Allow your truth to shine.  Of course this must be done in a compassionate and respectable way..otherwise... how will it be taken seriously, right?  Expressing yourself and your passions does not mean to force your beliefs and being on others...but more on sharing and spreading the love and passions that move your soul.  Loyalty is also knowing when situations or people are harming you..and knowing when enough is enough. You do not have to absorb negativity.  You deserve a happy life filled with joy and love.  Its true that negative actions and people exist in this world.  They really are in our lives for a reason... we learn ..we grow... we gain strength.  But this does not mean to internalize their negative thoughts and actions.  Know what the lesson is..know the changes you want to make to improve your being... know when to walk away.  Show yourself the love, loyalty and respect you deserve ..and it will be reflected.

Like I said... you deserve happiness and love.  Listen to your heart.  It will navigate you through all the hardships and hate.  Let it guide you through darkness and back into light.

Follow your heart

Follow your heart and you will find your own path. Meet people along the way that will help you grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Some may even help by guiding you.
Dance if you want.. sing if you want on your journey. You may hit a fork on the road and you may ask "where do i go?" or "who knows the way to go?" As you sit in peace and silence.. reach inside or just accept happiness and joy... you'll find the path again. Fill your mind with positive thoughts, hopes and dreams... fill your heart with love and joy... Fill your life with all of the above and find your spiritual freedom. Your heart will not disappoint or let you down. Even though, we may have allowed people or things in our lives that hurt us... they existed because we must learn and experience. Trust in your heart... be good to it... you deserve love and happiness. I guess this is going to tie into forgiveness and loyalty... but that will have to come in a later entry.


Some may be asking "what the hell is this girl talking about?" (LOL) I guess I'm just hoping that everyone can enjoy their journey through life and learn from their experiences and people they meet. Share and spread the love and joy they feel each and every single day. And I hope our creative nature will help us through our hardships.

Let your emotions show

Sometimes you may want to cry and feel like it's embarrassing or stupid to do so... but no. It's your soul saying.. "let it out." If you're sad about something.. let yourself be sad and cry. Keeping these emotions trapped inside can turn into anger, frustration, confusion and build regrets. Allow yourself to be sad, happy or angry. You have every right to feel these emotions. As long as you're emitting these emotions in a productive and respectable way... do it! For example, sometimes when I get too emotional and crying doesn't happen... I go to the dance studio and let my emotions show through my dance. Some may write poetry, some may sing, some may paint, some may play an instrument.. it's all about turning the negative into positive. Channeling your energy to maintain positive thoughts.

(When I say to just be sad or be angry... I'm not encouraging to dwell and letting fear and aggression consume you. I mean it in terms of just opening your heart and allowing yourself to express these emotions in a respectable manner.)

You deserve to be happy and joyful. With your happy and joyful self.. you are capable of touching others' hearts and lifting their vibrations and spirits. Spread the love, spread the joy... we ALL deserve happiness in our lives.

Cutting ties to make room for a happier YOU

Cutting ties from any kind of negative relationship or feeling/energy is very liberating. Not only does it feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders.. but it feels like you can finally breathe! You can finally inhale the fresh air and move forward in your life.

An advice I give myself a daily basis (I try to make a conscious effort to do this... it's difficult at times):

If you have anything to say... say it. Holding any negative energy or thoughts inside your heart will manifest into resentment and make room for mistakes and pain.

Once you speak the truth about how you truly feel and why you're feeling this way... you can breathe. You can finally stop holding your breath on certain topics or instances. And of course speak your truth in an appropriate and respectable way. Feelings can often get hurt when being confronted but I believe that if it's done in a manner that show respect ... you will receive it in return. In order for others to take your feelings and thoughts seriously... you must show them your respect as well.

Speaking your truth doesn't always mean to speak on the negative. If you have something to say that's positive... say it! It also makes you feel good and often makes someone else feel good. Why NOT put a smile on someone's face??? SAY IT... DO IT!

Loving yourself through forgiveness

One of the best ways to show yourself love and appreciation is to forgive. Forgive yourself for allowing someone to hurt you, forgive for believing lies, forgive for your weaknesses. We experience these hardships to learn and grow... not to keep ourselves from loving who we are. That's the beauty part of being human and having our emotions... we can learn and forgive. Forgiving ourselves allows our heart to heal and send out positive vibes into the world... and into our lives. We are amazing beings capable of loving ourselves and others.. so let's do it. We're not perfect .. and outside influences try to keep us from finding wholeness and serenity within ourselves... don't let it. Forgive... gain strength... and above all.. love.

Onward!

This week has been very eventful... and it's only Wednesday! :) There's definitely more to come! I just feel more excited and happy .. for no particular reason. So many things are happening and all these happenings are positive! So excited!! I've been dancing more and more to make sure that I express the excitement and freedom I've been feeling. I guess maybe that's a sign that I'm heading the right way. Making sure that your heart and your mind are open and full of love and positiveness.

Maybe it really has to do with making a more conscious effort on keeping myself and my surroundings happy and positive. And maybe also letting myself be happy and excited. All i know is... I can't wait until the fall. I definitely need to hike up a mountain... and just breathe. I guess it's really my heart letting go of all things that are negative. I found the holding negative thoughts, feelings and energy .. really starts to break down your soul and your genuine and loving nature. It's time to forgive and let go. Forgive those that's hurt you... forgive yourself for letting them... forgive yourself for doubting and for holding it in. It's ok. And just tell yourself... I love you. Share it!

LETS ALL GO ON A HIKE!

The path

Ever since I opened "Finding of the Third Eye," I've been trying my best to trust myself (not just my intuition... but my whole being) in every situation. I definitely want to become a more spiritual person. I feel that in understanding yourself .. you can tune into everything. I know it may not make much sense... probably because I'm trying to write on a more broad scale. As time goes on.. I'm sure it will make more sense. Patience.

I know I am seeking for more guidance. In seeking... I mean... listening.. watching... feeling. I'm not worried at all about walking this path. I know that in this spiritual path... tools and people will come to guide me. After all these years I've learned that experiences teach you lessons but there are people and tools that will guide you. Life will always take its course.. and in that course you will change. I want to make every effort that I can to ensure that my changes will be positive.. not only for myself but for everyone. It's funny how things, experiences and people can change you... without you even knowing. This is why I feel like becoming more spiritual is vital. I know myself therefore I AM myself. People will often make attempts to lure you into "group think"... but why?? Positive minds... will always find themselves. Positive thoughts protect us and keep us happy.


I guess all I'm really trying to say is that... I'm walking in the path to spirituality. I may not know what is ahead of me but ...my mind, my body and my soul gravitate towards it. (Whatever IT may be.) Seems like I just need to clear my mind and open my heart.
