The Divine You

No shame in beginning,
Or starting again.
No evil in falling,
You  need not always win.
Your life is your art,
A style all your own,
Success is each new dawn,
And how much you've grown.
Don't judge a person,
By the medals they wear,
Their bank account balance,
Their nose in the air,
Your path is to be the best you,
You can be.
You don't need the best job,
Or highest degree.
You contain all the magic,
You are light from a star,
You can't possibly fail,
To be who you are.
You have one task alone,
To shine your own light.
To shine someone else's
Will not make you bright.
Believe in yourself,
Your soul knows what's true,
Now stand up and be,
The Divine Spark that's you! ~Silas

Beyond the Lemonade

When life hands you lemons, why stop at lemonade? 

Smell the lemons, juggle them, make pink lemonade, lemon chiffon, lemon tarts, lemon meringue, and lemon drops.

The amazing tart taste that is so unique is a combination of the lemons' sourness and the added sweetness you bring to them.

When life brings you a sour situation, take the opportunity to create a little tartness in your life. 

What can this challenge teach me? How will it help me grow? How will I overcome it and become stronger and more resilient? 

Become such a gifted creator of lemon cuisine that you will not experience the "sour" parts of life. Only opportunities to make it a "tart," unique and grand expression of your soul.

Drink up! ~Silas

Making Miracles

Sometimes you create problems so that you can come up with ingenious and miraculous solutions. 

If you, instead, create the miracles first, then the problem does not need to exist and your life becomes a miracle. 

So do not strive to be a problem solver, strive to be a miracle maker. ~Silas

First You Ask

If you petition the fae for help, we might ask for a show of gratitude, respect and we also enjoy a shiny trinket or two. 

It is not your wealth or property that we seek, but your commitment.

We are not pets to be trained, but fellow travelers, with abilities that can be of benefit to you. 

But we will never provide help unless you ask.~Silas

Re-Writing the Story

You have vivid imaginations, capable of amazing visions. 

What would happen if you used this vision to create beauty and love instead of fear and hate?

When you see a person who makes you fearful, what is the source of that fear?

Did this person actually hurt you? Then your fear is valid. 

Did someone who looked like them hurt someone who looked like you? Do they belong to a group that did something to harm another person? Are they just so different that you don't have an opinion to form, but you create a fear-based one and view them as a threat?

The man covered in menacing tattoos may be a doctor who saves lives. The standoffish young woman may have been recently assaulted and has not yet learned to trust. The person whose skin is of a different color than yours may be somebody's mother, brother, child or the best friend they ever had. 

If you don't know someone's story, and can't make up a positive one, then don't make up one at all. Better yet, get to know the person and create a whole new chapter.

Changing the world is not as hard as you think. But it does mean working hard to change your thinking. ~Silas

Clean Up Your Area

There are many now who are worrying themselves sick over the state of affairs of the world. The world has problems, but there are too many of them for you to solve them all.

You don’t have to have the most menacing “CAPS LOCK” on social media. Simply, do something to help your cause. Do not demand the same of others. That is not your job.

Volunteer, pick up trash, send healing energy to someone you don’t know.

Make your small corner of the world a beautiful place to live. When others see it, they will want to create their own.

 

And then the revolution of love begins. ~Silas

Taking Off the Blinders

When you feel that you have only one doorway, one pathway available to you, it is because, you have put blinders on yourself and can only see the one narrow path. 

You convince yourself that only by moving forward down this path can you succeed with your plans and goals in life.

It is time to take off the blinders. 

Do it now. Then look to the left and right. Look behind you. See hundreds of doors and pathways each with hundreds of choices contained inside of them. Your options are without limit if you can broaden your vision.

Let today be the day, that you open up to see all of the options you have in your life. Don’t rush to try them all, just explore, until you find one that feels perfect for you.

Then, enjoy the adventure. ~Silas
