Explaining belief

Image
Whether you believe in God, the Universe, Nature, Karma or Divine interference you know that you have to believe and have fate.Fate is everything, without fate there’s no reason to believe. I love the story in about Peter Pan and his fairy’s. When a child stop believing a fairy dies. Maybe that’s why the old Norse God’s don’t exist anymore, no one believes in them ... I believe there is something greater than ourselves. I believe there are forces that has our backs when we put fate in it. I also believe that the forces are working for you whether you believe in them or not, but with fate you will get better results because you know how the forces can be of service to you. I found this story of belief, it’s actually a description on the existence of God, but it works for all unseen forces. Read this and start believing there’s better things to come and not everything needs to be visual to be real. In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other:  “Do you believe in life afte...

How to find light in darkness?

Image
How do you get out of your own head and into a lighter, happier state of mind when you feel low and depressed?  From time to time people will find themselves in a low state of mind, there's a darkness around them that swallows all the light like the asphalt on a rainy night. How to get out of it is a skill that takes practice and dedication. It's so easy to just let the darkness swallow you and be passive feeling sorry for yourself, instead of forcing a happier thought into your head and actually taking responsibilities for how you're feeling. When you don't take responsibility for how you're feeling you can blame everyone and everything else. The whole world is to blame for how you are feeling and you are just a helpless victim.  Binge watching Netflix and bitching to everyone about your misery confirming to yourself that it's only getting worse and worse with time. Every time you talk about your misery in a non productive way, you add to your own misery a...

How do you grow and what does it mean?

Image
How do we grow as humans? What does it mean to grow? I believe that growth equals change, that in order for you to grow you have to make some changes. Not necessarily big changes but significant ones that you notice and can feel in your body. Like when you stop smoking, that's a change you feel for a long time. You are hunted by the nicotine monster for a long time after you've had your last cigarette. I have now been smoke-free for over a year, and just yesterday someone was passing me with a lit cigarette and I felt the need to ask for one. I didn't, because I'm supposed to be strong and a changed woman, but still that feeling of craving that cigarette sticks with me. And this is a change for the better, I am now healthier because I stopped smoking, so it's a good change. Change that you notice can also be if you change career or you get a divorce, that is also something you will feel for a long time and most of the time the things you feel the most and give...

Respect our differences

Image
Respecting our differences  There are 7,5 billion people living on this planet. There are wars being fought and love being celebrated. There are 4200 different religions in the world and that shows us how different and similar we are. When you peel of our beliefs, and our skin we look pretty much the same. But the excitement lies in the differences. Some people like this and other people are highly sensitive to that.  When lack of understanding and respect destroys the quality of other people's lives. I was just at my aunties 90 birthday party and there was about 60 guests. My aunt have been looking forward to this day for months and wanted everything to be perfect. She talked to my mom, her neighbor helped out for everything to run as smooth as possible. Tender I have a "tender belly" family with tender belly I mean that some of us have something we can not eat because it makes us sick. And this isn't just a gassy stomach and being a little bloated. I don...

Follow your passion and live with purpose

Image
Do you want to follow your passion and live with purpose? What are you good at and what do you have to offer? What would you do if you could do whatever you wanted to do? Would you travel the world or would you volunteer in a non profit organization? Would you make necklaces or give advice to people? Do you know your own strengths? What makes you all fired up The things that makes your heart beating a little faster and races your energy level, that's what makes you all fired up. That's your passion. When you are told to follow your passion, do you think "yes of course" and then you go all in to rescue all stray dogs on an island of Greece? Probably not. you're thinking, like most of us, " I can't do that, what about my family, what about my job, what about this and that and what if this happens or that goes wrong ..." That's normal, and when you hear about people who left their kids to dig wells in Africa, they are often suffering from bipo...

Change your limiting beliefs

Image
What is holding you back is your limiting beliefs. There's only so much you can do when your mind is limited. Most of the time you don't even realize that it is your mind that's holding you back. So what do you have to do ... you have to acknowledge your limiting beliefs, put them into words and change their story. Change your limiting beliefs and change your life Changing your limiting beliefs takes time, these are beliefs you've had since early childhood and therefore it takes some real effort to change them. Most have grown up listening to parents talking negatively about a group of people. My parents was always talking about that person in the expensive car who acted like he owned the road. I don't even think the person in the car had to do anything specific, he just had to be on the road and automatically he was talked about as if he was bad. This got stuck to me, and I think I have forwarded this to my daughter unintentionally. That's a blockage in me...

How can i change my life?

Image
How can i change my life? How often do you think I wish I could change this or If only this was a little more so. . I think we all have these thought from time to time but then we get back into our old routine and forget all about it... Until that day when it pops up again and and we go, Oh, I should have done so and so Tony Robbins says "you're shoulding all over yourselves" and he is right. We sit on our comfortable couches and talk about all the things we should have done and all the things we should be doing. It's time to say "this is something I have to do " The change is there in an instant, when you switch from should to must. The must is a must for any transformation. When you should, you only fooling yourself and your brain stops taking you seriously. When you should too much you have to train your brain to trust you when you say I am doing this, it's a must for me. Think about all the should's you have during a single day. I shoul...

Gratitude changes everything

Image
There's nothing in life that's more powerful that gratitude.  You can have everything you ever wanted in life, but if you bitch and complain all the time you are not happy. Then you can be the poorest person with nothing, no money and no possessions, but he is grateful for all the things in his life and he is completely happy. What does the poor man have to be grateful for, you might think. And I'll tell you!! All the things you take for granted, all the things you have that money can't buy. All the things that are so important for any person to feel any kind of happiness or joy. These are the basic needs of any person rich or poor; friends, family, respect, honor, the air you breath, the breeze on you face, your health, your inner peace, your ability to think, feel and to experience. What you take for granted  The fact that you can look at the sky every day, watch the birds fly over your head, smell the air, hear the leafs shake on a tree, listen to the stillne...

A Little Push

Image
Sometimes you just need a little push Sometimes you need a little push and that push often comes when you are ready or when it's forced on you. There's nothing as action making as a forced situation. The forced feeling often come from ourselves and not the outside world, but it can feel like it's the outside world forcing us, but in fact it is we as people who are sick and tired of how the outside world feels we are forced to change it or we will perish. When you have a situation that makes it feel forced it's just yourself that has reached a limit of "that's it!! No more!" and you take some actions to change the situation to something you want it to be. There are many things that can push you over the edge, but that little push is all it takes and your off to create something better. There are times in life when you think about changing something or you think this would be better if it was like this instead. And I wish I could have that, but OM...

When you feel like "my life is over"!!

Image
So many times we have this experiences in life where we might think; "that's it! My life is over!" But then time goes by and suddenly without realizing what happened, your fine... Human bodies wants to live. You want to be happy!  Our physical bodies is designed to survive. When we get too cold, our blood concentrates on keeping our organs warm so we will live. Our Body sacrifices our fingers and toes first (that's when we get neilbite). Then when we're continue to freeze our blood creeps closer to our organs and sacrifices our hands and feet. As long as we are unnaturally cold this is our body's only mission to keep us alive. And to live we need heart, lungs, kidneys and all the other internal organs. We don't need our arms and legs. Our physical body is not concerned about the quality of life it's only interested in life. It's a non feeling "law" like gravity, black and white, no grey areas, you either live or you die. So when you ...

People have tremendous strength

Image
My biggest challenge turned out to be my biggest blessing and I learned that people have tremendous strength. Having said that, I didn’t see it like that when it happened. I was in shock, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I didn’t know what was appropriate or even how I really felt about it. I just watched my mom fall to pieces and listened to what she had to say with disbelief and questions. Could this be real? Is she tricking me, does she have a hidden camera, is this a joke, if it is it’s a terrible one. But there she was, dead serious and on the floor of my kitchen, crying her heart out in grief from the shock she just experienced. And what did I do? Her daughter, I was just standing there not knowing how to respond, not knowing what to say and I didn’t even attempt to comfort my mom. I cannot remember I can't remember what day it was, but it was probably Saturday because I was home at the time. It was morning about 10 am I guess, because my mom asked for breakfast ...
