Know That We Matter

     

    So many of us have become so disheartened by a broken system that we used to think we could count on. There is no system in place that will take the place of who we are individually. There is no one “to take care of us.” There is no greater entity in the form of institution that is greater than us, no degree that puts someone in a greater place of importance, no education that lifts someone up beyond where other people are. 

     We ask ourselves what qualifies us to step up and act like we are someone who can make a difference. What if we are wrong? What if we don’t know what we are talking about? We look at the state of our lives and ask why we think we have earned the right to act like we have something to say. All the while, we are do desperately needed. There are people who are so alone, feel so alone and scared who couldn’t care less what degree you do or don’t have, whether your life looks like a raging disaster, what your educational level is. They just want to know that they can feel someone else’s heart. That someone will stop for them, put everything down and just listen; that someone will take them and their pain into their hearts and tell them they matter, that it will be okay, that they don’t have to do this alone.  


"We have been through darkness that we could have cut with a knife. It is time for us to bring our power back to ourselves and to be a participating member of this most beautiful collection of human beings."


     There is not a single person on this earth that isn’t qualified to step up and take that place. A homeless man may offer much wiser, deeper, heartfelt advice than a doctor or therapist. We need to know that we matter. That we are qualified. We have been through how many years of life? We have felt pain. We have felt joy. We have discovered things that have the ability to illuminate the world. We have been through darkness that we could have cut with a knife. It is time for us to bring our power back to ourselves and to be a participating member of this most beautiful collection of human beings. Each and every act of kindness can and will change the world. Stop looking to anyone else. This is ours.  ~Karin M. Keyes

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.

You Are Already Perfect In Your Creation

Image
Don’t take anything that you try to accomplish personally. None of it is about you. You are already perfect in your creation; nothing that you do or fail to do will either amplify or diminish your being. We do for the greater whole, not because it is who we are, but because it is what they need. If we move into a place where we are open to the needs of the whole, we can forget ourselves as a manifestation of that in the process.  "You are already perfect in your creation; nothing that you do or fail to do will either amplify or diminish your being." The more we forget our own importance in the creation of our works, the more creation can flow through us rather than from us. Nothing valuable gets created from ego and remains in that state. It becomes forced and elicits a sense of fear. We do not have to earn our worth on this earth. We need to remember the worth of others and that we can bring to all of life something sacred and valuable that can help us to awaken into a highe...

Connecting With Others

Image
Don’t try to connect with people on the level of their personality. That is not who they are. What we project out to the world is not who we truly are within. It is a reflection of where we are in our growth and our consciousness at that particular point in time. Who we are is something far greater. When we can connect with someone with the knowledge that we can see them and honor them and recognize them as that which is holy, even if they are not aware of this within themselves, we can really begin to be present with others. "Connect with someone with the knowledge that we can see them and honor them and recognize them as that which is holy..." If we were to ask anyone who they truly are, they would probably not be able to tell us. But, they may be able to tell us what makes them glow, what makes them feel most connected to life, what they are discovering about the world around them and within them. We do not have to be a show of personalities. That is only a stage in our ev...
