Be a Student of Life


Always be a student. There is so much to learn. There are so many people who have had such vastly different experiences from us and have a great deal to bring to our lives from those experiences. There are subjects that we may have an interest in, from spirituality to art to farming to any number of other areas. 

Take fifteen minutes out of every day to learn something new. Find random subjects to expand your knowledge on. It hardly even matters what these subjects are. There is a whole world out there and within ourselves. By continually taking on the role of the student, we allow ourselves to be more present within ourselves and to remind ourselves that we don’t have all the answers. 

"Take fifteen minutes out of every day to learn something new." 

The benefits far outweigh the simple material we are learning. By being the student, we move into a place of receptivity where we can soften around what we have believed to be our limitations and to learn that no such limitations exist. We can move into a place where we remind ourselves that we don’t have all the answers, and we can move into life with a softer heart.

Embracing the Magnitude and Magic of Life

Image
Let go of any thoughts of who you were yesterday. You are a new person today. Don’t waste your time reflecting on your old thoughts. They were the thoughts of yesterday, not today. Be present to the energy all around you at this given moment. Let go of everything that does not serve you. Don’t reflect on people’s views that are of a lower vibration than your own or what you strive for. There is nothing you need to take from this. Life is not about survival. It is about thriving and growing and transcending. Let lower beliefs become all but invisible to you. You are aware that they are there. That’s all you need to know. Move within yourself as if you are the only person on this earth. Acknowledge what you know and strive to become more aware of the magnitude and magic of life that is all around you and of which you are a part.   ~ Karin M.

We All Are Souls in Growth

Image
         Be gentle with yourself. We are all souls in growth. What we know today, we didn’t know yesterday. What we will know in a year, we don’t yet know. We need to show ourselves love… always. There is never any need for self-criticism. Instead, go within and get to know yourself better. What positive purpose are your “short-comings” attempting to serve? How are they an attempt at self-love? How can you address those attempts in a more self-loving way? We don’t engage in negative actions because we want to hurt ourselves. We engage in them because we are already hurting. We are trying to regain a sense of control to alleviate the pain and feeling of powerlessness.  The most powerful thing we can do for ourselves is to surrender. The past is the past. It’s over. Nothing we do today can change the events of yesterday. But we can acknowledge how much pain certain events caused us. We can soften to ourselves and know that, no matter what, we survived. W...

The Power of Choice

Image
         We have a choice to make about how we choose to feel every single day. We don’t necessarily get to feel however we want to at any given moment, but we have a say in what we choose to feel.Turning our attention to gratitude instead of focusing on hardship brings us into an entirely different place. Choosing to be strong instead of weak transforms our experiences. Being positive and seeing the good all around us puts the rest in a different place and we can see it from a higher perspective.  "Whichever emotion we choose to feed  strengthens in its life-force energy." Whichever emotion we choose to feed strengthens in its life-force energy. It is not enough to think positively, to act in a strong way, or to feel gratitude instead of self-pity once. We need to make it a regular practice. We need to be conscious of our thoughts and to notice when our thoughts are carrying us in the wrong direction, and to move our attention to who we want to b...
