Quote

Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, then honoring that self, that’s what maturity is all about.

When you are being childish you will find yourself reacting to everything around you. When you are practicing maturity you learn the art of observation, discernment, and patience. When you do not know it is often best to be silent and observe your situation and surroundings. When you do not know who you are you find yourself trying and striving. You want to be something other than what and who you think you are. When you do that you are reaching out of your core self. It feels like a stretch but in actuality it can wound your authentic heart because you are indicating that what is right there is not enough. But you are enough right now. You are a miracle and this life is a huge gift that you have earned through tremendous challenges that were about challenging you to be you. You do not need to challenge yourself to be like another. That would be a great waste of time and precious energy. You have the opportunity to show who you really are. The risk is that someone might not think that is good enough. But they are just in a place of comparison. They are projecting what they want, who they are, their standards and prejudices onto you. But you can never be them. You can never be fully happy fitting into someone else’s box. You can only be happy when you feel and express who you really are. When you honor yourself regardless of another’s position and perspective you will know that you have matured into someone who can touch hearts and change the world.

Numerology for 1/15/14

Today is the number 5. The number 5 is a day where you will tend to focus on the day-to- day things in your life. Addressing the basics: food, errands, exercise, laundry, cleaning out the garage, etc. I love a number 5-day because it reminds me what it is to be human and to have a human body. Regardless of how full of ourselves we might get we have to always come back to the basics. We all need the same things, comfort, security, food, shelter, etc. There are things that are required of us if you want to play in the human realm. Today is a day to appreciate the small things that make life interesting and simple. Take this moment to appreciate those who have stood by you when you were not being your best self. Take time today to thank them for the stability that they gave you when you were under stress and upset. Look those who are family and reflect on how many funny stories you have about each other that were usually related to a really difficult moment. But how now you are all laughing at that very same moment. It is the trials and tribulations that create bonding and connection. It is when we are at our worst that we discover who our real friends are and who we really are deep down. When the going gets tough it also gets very raw and real. Under those conditions your true self emerges and you get to take a look at who you are underneath that ego that is always trying to be perfect. So today, bake a cake and give it to the neighbors. Buy a yummy pie and give it to a homeless person. Spontaneously buy a toy for a child that is crying in the store. Create something that will make you feel as if you are a part of this planet and connected to everyone and everything. In our hearts we are the same. When we look from the simple self and address the basic needs in everyone you will realize that we are all one heart.
