No Worries......

One of the most important things you can do to make your life easier, better and more prosperous, is to eliminate your stress.

When you are trying to accomplish something, it can feel like stress is the fuel that is driving you forward. 

Stress is, in fact, the mud under your feet that slows you down. 

It is good to be determined, and driven, but unless you are running for your life, stress will not help you.

Take that energy and use it. 

Create something. Write down your fears as a story or poem, paint a picture, dance, walk or go to the gym. 

Turn the focus away from your stress and you will find you no longer need it.

From a manifestation standpoint, you are darkening your beautiful vision of the future with clouds of worry.

Most of the storms you envision will not come to pass. So why waste good creative time dwelling on them?

When your fears dissolve, you will find it much easier to do the work you need to do. Chores will have less drama attached, and your body will be healthier.

As we know you worry about your appearance, we will add that reducing stress will keep you from eating when you are not hungry and allow the food you have ingested to be perfectly processed to give your skin a healthy glow and allow your body to easily achieve and maintain perfect weight.

So if you will not reduce your stress to change your life for the better, then do it for your waistline. We will not judge. ~Silas

Your Reality Belongs to You

It can be hard to always keep a positive attitude. You want to visualize the best possible outcome, but those around you are telling you it’s just not likely or not possible.

When this happens, keep smiling. Honor the resistance and know that if you feel affected by it, there is some block or negative place within your consciousness that needs to be moved.

Think about what was said. Why did it bother you?

If you are constantly complaining that those around you are negative, look within. If you are noticing and feeling, then there is something inside of you that believes it to be true.

Take the feeling inward. Try to locate it. Don’t fear it, you are not bringing it to life, you are cleaning it out and releasing it.

Does it stem from a childhood fear? An early work experience? Something said to you by an authority figure you trusted?

That is their reality. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to make it yours.

Release what you don’t want, think about what you do want. Enjoy the feeling as you would a gourmet meal.

Feel all of the grandness of the experience. Touch it, smell it, taste it! Walk around behaving as you would if you already had it. 

What kind of posture would you assume? What attitude would you have? How would you feel when you walked into a room full of people, knowing that you are living your dream?

Do this daily. Remind yourself often. 

Do not let the realities of others invade yours.

Let them enjoy their dramas. Perhaps they like a good challenge. Don’t judge, just thank them silently, for the information they have given you about yourself. 

Use it to create the life of your dreams. Then if they ask, you can share your reality with them.

Another Angle

Not everything makes sense the first time. 

You might hear of a new self-help technique, a new way of creating something new or organizing your life so that it will work better.

Nothing you ever experience is ever lost. Your brain may not acknowledge it at first, but when it is needed, all will make sense.

You may buy a book and read one chapter before putting it away. 

A year later, you hear an idea that sounds amazing.  Something you would like to incorporate into your life.

Then, you remember that you’ve heard this information before. You pick up that dusty book you bought a year ago and read it from cover to cover.

Now it makes sense. You just weren’t ready for it the first time. The presentation may not have appealed to you, until you looked at it in a different way, perhaps from a different angle.

You might glance at a picture on your computer, then navigate to another page. 

Later you come back, having forgotten about it and suddenly, you take a good look.

This time you see interesting details and get certain feelings when you look at it.

You might even discover that it was taken by a photographer, or drawn by an artist you admire.

It might inspire you to do something you hadn’t thought of before.

Never toss any new knowledge as useless.  It might just not be useful to you yet.

You might just need to look at it again, from a different angle.

Turn, Turn, Turn

It is a common mistake to believe that the expression, “Turn the other cheek”, represents an act of weakness or acceptance.

It is in fact, an act of strength. 

It takes a strong person to look beyond the ego and recognize the frightened soul inside that the ego is protecting. 

An act of revenge serves no one.  It tells the other that their ego was correct in its judgment and that their beliefs about you were true.

A stronger act is not to act. Inaction, that comes from a place of love, is more powerful than action that comes from fear. 

Those who would judge based on the fearful act that they can see or the fear-filled words they hear, will be revealed for who they really are. 

Those with the best and most loving eyes can see through the fear and vengeance and recognize the loving act of inaction. 

If those around you are moved to act from fear and vengeance, be moved from your heart and be still in a place of love.

In the end, the peace and love you create will return to you multiplied. ~Silas

Dream a Little Dream.....

Sometimes the Universe slows you down as you approach a goal you have been working to manifest. 

This is not out of cruelty, but love. 

The problems you have come from your thoughts. If your thoughts do not change, problems will persist and you will bring them into the new situation, job or relationship. 

Then, when a new love, more money or a great career comes into your life, you will think, "Perhaps this isn't what I wanted."

Trust your first instincts. If want something with all your heart, it is your birthright to have it and to enjoy it.

Don't dilute future joy with present problems. 

Resolve your emotional issues now, not when you can afford a self-help book or workshop. If those are what you need, one will fall into your hand. 

You have what you need to heal your life within you right now. Ask what needs to be released. Work through it and let go.

Move into your new life without heavy burdens.

Only then, can you create the future you've been dreaming of, and enjoy it as much as you enjoy your dreams. ~Silas

You Will Survive

You often feel pain, not because you are weak, but because you are brave.

You are an able-bodied (and minded) soul who has come to Earth to work and learn.  This is a noble pursuit. You are a fine scholar and a powerful warrior on a level that you cannot fully appreciate.

The problem is, the pain.  When it hits, you tell yourself it is because you are weak and unworthy of feeling pleasure.

You are a soldier fighting a battle with gaping, bloody wounds telling yourself, “Stop whining, don’t be a baby. You can do better.” 

It is because you are powerful that you are able to talk yourself into the belief that you are weak. Then you let others talk you into it as well.

It is not uncommon for a powerful, experienced soul to be laid low by a less experienced one. 

The less experienced soul sometimes creates a powerful ego personality to protect it. It attacks and takes advantage of others because it is fearful of pain. 

It is so fearful, in some cases, that it thinks a little pain will kill it. 

Like a bird that puffs up its feathers to look larger and put on an intimidating display so as to scare away those that might hurt it, this frightened soul, makes itself appear larger than life to avoid real pain.

If you encounter a soul such as this, look beyond the outer ego’s display. Know that it is just an act, a defense from attack for a young, inexperienced soul that is trying to learn just as you are.

Send love to the soul. Forgive it for any harm you have felt, but do not engage the ego or try to play its game. 

You will never win. The best strategy is not to play. 

Remember that even if you have played and lost, the pain you feel reflects your strength and courage. You can choose to have only easy lessons, but sometimes a lesson learned through pain can be a quick and powerful way to move forward along your path.

You know you will survive. The immature soul is still learning that. 

Be patient, be brave, learn your lessons and don’t repeat the mistakes. The pain gets less each time and recovery is quicker.

Do not envy the one who harmed you. You would not want to walk their path. 

Why should you. You’ve already been there. ~Silas
