god help: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. - Help.com

I LOVE this quote :) Thank you so much for posting it!!

I’m so lost. You know… I find myself at yet another cross road in my life and this time I’m scratching my head looking around at so many different roads and I don’t know which one to take. I’m worried about the world about humanity. There is so much to do but how do you get there. People are so mean we’re greedy and inconsiderate humans. Well I shouldn’t speak this way of ALL people but I’d say the majority of what I’ve seen and encountered. What do I do? What’s the next step? How do I get there? Will people listen? Can WE change? Are we going to get better. Can we save Her…can we save Mother Earth? How?

You’re right that’s been my issue, I’ve forgotten me. I think it’s time to start taking care of the child within. Thanks Mr. rabbit

Cudos! one of my favorites, too!! In fact I call upon it regularly….remind myself of it often, and just sent it to my sister in an email yesterday.

I am a great believer in actions speak louder than words.

Learning gives us the power to understand.
Understanding gives us the power to co-ordinate our actions.
Our actions speak louder than words.

Learn all you can about the things in your life that matter to you. When you understand what the problems are you can act on them.

When you know that what you do is right, do it. If you dont know that what you are doing is right dont do it. Learn some more until you know the right answer. Then do it.

I am completely non religious, so I cant give you an religious insites, in solving problems.

It puzzles me how we dig deep to help others, yet in the times of our own quandries we fail to allow that compassion to our own hurting soul.For the good of our own health…. I an very much guilty ,All of us do it .It can do us so much good to step out of ourselves and look with not only our eyes,but with an open heart and mind.The answer are in us,or can be learned.but some,for some reason have walls they need to tear down first.When we hear ourselves say ‘It’s hard,and all those other excuse,it’s essential to face those walls and eradicate them.

Indeed, “Be the Change you wish to see in the World.” -Gandhi
I was at a parenting meeting yesterday at my son’s school and she talked about mirroring–how our children’s behavior is a direct reflection of our own. They model their behavior after ours. I know that this is true. Set an Example. “Do what I say, Not what I do” never worked. I am certain that I am an avid reader because I watched my Mother settling her self down each day to read. I don’t ever remember her telling me that I should read, or that anything you want to know you can find in a book. No. I just watched her read and read and read. And I looked at her collection of books on the shelf–on the most varied of topics that you can imagine–Such is my style today.

Felicity,it’s true, about the ‘walls’ you speak of. It is a hard one to get your head around at first. I think, but once you do, it can become a habit. But, I do think that it is in our nature to search, and I don’t think we become truly enlightened until we are on our death bed. I read a great Book last summer by Elizabeth Kubler Ross, the one who did all of the research on Life after death. Can’t remembner the name of the book , but this one was her memoire. It was really interesting. What she learned from all of these dying individuals, is that WE ARE HERE TO GROW. I don’t think we stop growing until we die. I really don’t.

I like that B. Interesting if I might say. It’s so simple. You know, I’ve been questioning my existance, my purpose. I think the knowledge we ALL already know, it’s instilled within but sometimes with all the hustle and bustle of everyday life I just lost focus. I forgot. You’re right we ARE here to grow….

Does anyone know of Leo Buscaglia?What a lover.The loving nature of his family made him the most giving person he is today.I envy him so.It’ the action part i have a problem with,I practice and getting better at it,But it’s extremely hard.

rabbit,do you have a favorite ?

R-what do you make of what i said(above) about my problem showing love?I could use some feedback.everyone left me when i said that.Who inspired u the most?

you got it.the word ‘fear keeps coming to me.I need to start applying my own advise.I grew up without affection,married someone that showed no affection,i tell my kids and g-kids i love them everyday,it’s no effort with any child or baby.finding it real hard to accept it too.It has stagnated me.I’m taking baby steps though. after years of depression and other issues,reading every self help and success book. I was ready to take on the world., become part of society again and dont know how.,Im just venting i guess.,,,,,,,,i justneed to be patient .

Leo Buscaglia is great! You are right he is a gentle spirit. Have you ever read anything by Wayne Dyer? I remember quite a few years back I read something he wrote that struck me and I knew it was important but I couldn’t understand it then. I only understand it marginally now. He would say (of those who frustrate you, etc) “Send them love” I couldn’t understand how you could send them love, even metaphysically, when you despise their actions. It wasn’t until about five years ago, when I was training to become a massage therapist and learned Reiki–that I began to understand How to “send them love”. To me it is the intention–for me when I work with someone, I set an intention that the Will of God be done for that individual–whatever they may be searching for , whatever is troubling them, that they begin to be shown the light. From my own experience, I know that growth can often be painful, but when I look back on it, I can always see, with hindsight being a beautiful thing, that the master Weaver had a plan. If it doesn’t Kill you it makes you stronger. I think what is hard, is Just allowing things to be as they are, and accepting them “as is”. Especially things we have no ability to change. Water always flow around the rock in the middle of the stream–it doesn’t stop and wait for the rock to move. It doesn’t even think twice. It lets the rock remain, and it alters its path momentarily ,then continues on. Soldier on, We Must!

You made me smile today.Who am I to underestimate myself? I am God’s creation. Please help me too.

Rabbit,I see it as not trusting or following our intuition,and/or a confidence issue at the core.And other factors that get in the way.Hope this makes sense.Just something to ponder.

Rabbit,Hi Handsome,I’m very concerned about you.I think I know you well enough to know that u have all the knowledge of a variety of life skills and insight.But theres something holding you back from achieving real Peace and confidence in yourself..If I’m close,please hear me out. I hate to admit the following,but for you my friend, anything .I used to believe there was seriously s thing wrong with me.Actually thought i was mentally retarded in some way.Now I have a confidence I never thought was possible.I’m not successful in this world,as far as work related,Like I’m sure you are but I’ can say that I now ‘know I’m Loved,I KNOW what i’m here for and more..But I want u to have it too.(Actually I want everyone to have it.)I truly believe u too can have that peace and confidence u are hoping to find.And as you know ,what may work for one may not work for another.I found it in God, and I know- you know God.But how well?I urge you to get more understanding of his Love and acceptance so that you can find this great peace and feel the overwhelming awe of his Love.I want this so much for you.I will pray for you to recieve it all .I love you my friend.Kim
