Are You Willing?

Today's Reminder is: 


"To be loved, you must be willing to be Loved. The same is true for being hated."
Never doubt that you have the power to choose what you will experience in your life.  You have the power to accept love... 


But what about hate? 



It is no different than love-- except it is a "negative" emotion which usually comes with hurt. It seems that we mistakenly believe we have no control over being hated. That is not true. 


To really feel hated one must accept that the person hating you is somehow justified in feeling the way they do. In other words when you feel hurt because someone "hates" you it is because you have accepted their judgement of you. The hurt can wound you even if it is untrue because some part of you believes it is true.


When you do not accept another person's judgement of you, you cannot be hurt emotionally by them. That is not to say that "haters" can be ignored but the emotional damage they might cause you can be stopped. Once you stop accepting their judgement of you, you can make clear decisions on how to deal with them.

Empty or Full?

Today's Reminder is: 


"Who is better? The One who tries to fill their own emptiness or the One who tries to empty their own fullness?"

 The answer to this question should be obvious. Emptiness is a state of  being that excludes the possibility of anything but emptiness. There is no thing or collection of things which can fill that void. So what value is there in trying to fill a void which can never be filled?

On the other hand, if one were in a state of "Fullness" they could give anyone anything and everything and still be full and complete. You do not lose anything by giving of your fullness because the cup is always full.

It's your choice. Empty or Full?
