Finding your Light
“Your True Self is the light, the beacon by which you should guide your life. You have to let it shine. Otherwise, you are living in darkness, wandering helplessly among the fears and anxieties that surround us. In the darkness, even the fleeting light of the firefly looks bright. And you spend all your energies chasing after these lights, not even realizing that a far greater light lies inside you. Don’t throw away your life chasing after an insect that will blink out and die soon after you catch it. Don’t spend all your time chasing after a momentary high. The single best source of health and happiness lies within your True Self. If you search within your True Self, you will find absolute health and everlasting happiness. If you search within your petty needs and greed, you will wander the darkness forever. Without lighting up your True Self, you won’t find out what health and happiness truly mean”. –Dr. Seung Heun Lee

Powerful Creator of Your Reality
YOU are the POWERFUL CREATOR of YOUR REALITY!!!
Your reality today is the result of an accumulation of past choices, whether consciously or subconsciously created. Other people’s choices will always remain beyond your control, and events will inevitably take place in our lives that we have no control over… but we can always choose HOW we respond, and HOW we react, and we can choose to use any and all obstacles as opportunities to grow and evolve and CREATE a new reality.
The way I see it, when it comes to life, you have two choices; either you CREATE what you want into existence or you wait around and REACT to what hits you.
Which choice do you want to make?
Unfortunately, LIFE does not come with an actual manual, at least not one that we can read black on white. However, there is sort of an imprinted version of a manual resting in your higher self, above the ego and its stories. It sometimes shows up as a little voice inside of you, some sort of an all-knowing YOU that reminds you when you are doing what you want to be doing and being who you want to be. It is the YOU that is happy and fulfilled without having to receive anything external or materialistic to be that way.
When you exercise your "presence muscle" you are able to get in touch with that higher self, the part of you that is calm, and present, thankful, open, loving and peaceful. Simply by paying attention to your life and exercising awareness.
At any given moment you can be that person, but only if you set your ego aside and choose to pay attention to your life.
So what does the POWERFUL CREATOR want to create in life? How will we know unless we ask our higher self that question... If you want to get to know YOU some more, the authentic REAL YOU... then answering the following questions will be helpful.
What do I REALLY want in my life?
What am I REALLY wanting to achieve?
What do I want to CREATE in my life?
WHO do I want to BE?
When you discover the answers to these questions you can start defining the answers, i.e. writing out what the results would look like, for example, "I want to be a good parent"... Now, ask yourself What does it mean to be a good parent? What does that look like?
When you ponder what is the REAL goal and define what that looks like it will be much easier to create that into existence.
Then, each and every day you can take a few moments to consciously pay attention to WHO you are BEING and remind yourself of Who it is you REALLY Want to BE because who you are being in the NOW is who you become tomorrow.
Joy and Light,
Maja

45 Lessons from life by Regina Brett 90 yrs. old.
Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.
It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled
over to 90 in August, so here goes:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. Love your parents because they will be gone before you know it.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry
13. Don't compare your life to others'.. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
