TODAY'sQUOTES

"There is a secret about human love that is commonly overlooked: Receiving it is much more scary and threatening than giving it. How many times in your life have you been unable to let in someone's love or even pushed it away? Much as we proclaim the wish to be truly loved, we are often afraid of that, and so find it difficult to open to love or let it all the way in." - John Welwood, is an American psychotherapist, teacher, and author, known for integrating psychological and spiritual concepts. "Complaining about anything, holds you in the place of refusing to receive the things you've been asking for. Justifying about anything holds you in the place of refusing to let in the very things that you've been asking for. Blaming someone, holds you in the place of refusing to let in the things that you've been asking for. Feeling guilty, feeling angry, it doesn't matter what you call it, it is a refusal, not a conscious one. You're asking; you can't help but ask. The Universe is yielding; it must yield. It's a big question, folks: why aren't you letting it in?" - Esther Hicks, best-selling author & speaker.

It is very easy to give. It is very good to give. In fact, it is a Uni-versal Law that says it is in giving that you receive. This not new information. But if you take a closer look at the Uni-versal Law, you will see that it is a two part process. The first part is giving. It is in GIVING that you receive. But the second part is just as important, and the Law is not complete without it. Seen another way, the Law reads - it is in giving that you RECEIVE. Receive. That is the other part of the Law that is many times looked over by Seekers on The Path. If there is anything lacking in your life and you are giving what you want away to others, be it love, prosperity or otherwise, you aren't lacking what you are giving because you aren't giving it. You are lacking it in your life because you have not remained open and receptive to receive it. Why? Most likely because on some level you feel unworthy of the love, unworthy of the money, unworthy of the attention and so you stop the manifestation of being returned to you. Another possibility is that you feel if you did in fact get what you wanted that you will be abandoned and let down, AGAIN! In doing this your head and your heart are headed in two different directions, and thus you remain stuck. Your heart knows that you are worthy. Your heart yearns to love. Your heart yearns for connection, contribution, growth and love. Your heart knows you live in an infinite Uni-verse and that you can create any kind of life you want. But your head, oh, your head tells a much different story! Your head pays attention to what other people are doing, your head focuses on what was and assumes that is what will be, your head observes your circumstances and is held prisoner by them. So the creative and loving visionary that is your heart see's the possible and your head talks you into believing it's impossible. "True love isn't real", it tells you. "I'm just going to get hurt again", it says. And the most debilitating thought your head can think is, "I'm not worthy of love, happiness and prosperity." Follow the vision of your heart. Give away your love. Show up for friends and lovers. CHOOSE WISELY who you show up for, but when you decide, go for it with all you've got! Then, once you've started to give away what you wish to receive, that is when you real work begins. That is the moment you gotta become willing, courageous and fearless enough to let love, prosperity and all the good stuff in. Use fear to your advantage by knowing you are not your fear and that fear just means you are outside of your comfort zone and that you can now grow. Open up, let it all in. Affirm to yourself daily that you are worthy and you are lovable. As you open up, express yourself and let yourself receive, you will be met with the right people, in the perfect time and begin to know that all is really well. When things don't work out the way you want them to, know there is a lesson and that life is working out the way you need it to, which, in the end, is always better than the way you want it to. So, can you be courageous enough to receive today?

Keep the faith. Just keep it. Holding firm in your belief about the life you want and taking action from that place creates miracles. The ride may be rocky. Times may sometimes be tough. Things might not always work out the way you want them to, but if you keep the faith that your ideal scene in life is possible and never give up, soon enough it will come round to you. There is always hope. When you want to give up, when all seems lost, when there seems to be no reason to keep going - THIS MOMENT - is the moment to press on one more day. It is those who press on beyond the low points in life that push through that barrier of resistance into a seemingly magical world. Faith is where it begins. Acting on your faith is how it happens. You do not have faith if you stop believing when things go wrong. The depth of your faith is tested when things go wrong. You can't say you really have faith if you give up when things get tough. That's not real faith, that's pretend faith. Someone who has true faith in themselves and in The Uni-verse will press on no matter what the circumstance is. There is no challenge too small for someone who is rooted in faith. There is no time that is too hard, because those with faith keep their ideal outcome in mind and know that they are stronger than their circumstances. It's a well known that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. If money is tight, if no one believes in your dreams, if you just want to give up, remember you have a GIGANTIC TRUST FUND of faith that you can use. Get busy spending your faith every day; it can never run out. Your dreams are real. Take action to make it so. Don't give up. Just press on one day at a time - the dawn will break, my friend, the dawn WILL break!

I choose faith over fear.   I walk knowing my destination.   Today, I choose to get up and try again.

Girls need to realize this .
We guys don’t care if you talk to other guys .
We don’t care if you’re friends with other guys .
But when you’re sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off .
It doesn’t help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we’re still there .
We don’t care if a guy calls OR TEXTS you .
but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned .
Nothing is that important at 2am .
Also, when we tell you you’re pretty / beautiful/ gorgeous / cute / stunning, we freaking mean it .
Don’t tell us we’re wrong .
We’ll stop trying to convince you .
The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence .
Yeah, you can quote me .
Don’t be mad when we hold the door open .
Take Advantage of the mood im in .
Let us pay for you!
don’t ‘feel bad’
We enjoy doing it .
It’s expected .
Smile and say ‘thank you’ .
Kiss us when no one’s watching .
If you kiss us when you know somebody’s looking, we’ll be more impressed .
You don’t have to get dressed up for us .
If we’re going out with you in the first place, you don’t have to feel the need to
wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own .
We like you for who you are and not what you are .
Honestly, I think a girl looks more beautiful when she’s just in her pj’s .
or my tshirt and boxers, not all dolled up .
Don’t take everything we say seriously .
Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it .
Don’t get angry easily.
Stop using magazines/media as your bible.
Don’t talk about how hot Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us .
It’s boring, and we don’t care. You have girlfriends for that .
Whatever happened to the word ‘handsome’/’beautiful’
i’d be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me
with ‘Hey handsome!’ instead of ‘Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy’ or whatever else you can think of .
On the other hand im not sayin’ i woulndnt like it ether ;)
Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren’t being treated right by a guy, dont wait for him to change!!!!!
Ditch his sorry butt, disgrace to the male population & find someone who will treat you with utter respect .
Someone who will make you smile when you’re at your lowest .
Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes .
Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel .
Someone who will stop what they’re doing just to look you in the eyes ….and say ‘i love you’ ..and actually mean it.
Give the nice guys a chance.
Guys repost this if you agree.
Girls repost this if you think it’s cute.

SUCH A CUTE POEM.

Highest Potential!

TODAY'sQUOTES

"Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see." - Carl Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology. "There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny." - Friedrich Schiller, was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. "Though we can't always see it at the time,if we look upon events with some perspective, we see things always happen for our best interests. We are always being guided in a way better than we know ourselves." - Swami Satchidananda, was an Indian religious teacher, spiritual master and yoga adept. "With Synchronicity, all the resources we need are made available to us at the precise moment that is appropriate. The people who come into our lives are the ones we need at that moment in time. Everything is perfect. We only need to recognise this to tune into the flow. Everything happens for a Reason and Every Experience is a Learning Experience." - Alex Chua, author and life coach.

Only the untrained mind will discard coincidences as meaningless.  As Einstein said, either "everything is a miracle or nothing is." Those on the Path know that there is deep and profound meaning behind even the most subtle events of our lives.  As you ask the Uni-verse for more and take action to become more, see everything that happens after asking as an answer and response to your question. Look for the subtle answers that do not scream "LOOK AT ME", but instead drift into your life almost unnoticed.  The Uni-verse supports your Highest Potential by filling your life with synchronicity when you are on the path of your Highest Potential. If you are not experiencing almost daily synchronicities, take a look at the action you are taking and if it's in alignment with who you truly know yourself to be.  Keep in mind that synchronicity sometimes means NOT getting what you want. If you were headed in a certain direction and all of a sudden the proverbial rug is "pulled out from under you", do not see this as a bad thing. See these moments as great big gifts from The Uni-verse. Sometimes The Uni-verse makes us fall, but only to help rise again in the right direction. If you want to live life on your terms, if you want to live your dreams, see everything from this moment forward as happening "for" you instead of "to" you. The Uni-verse and the subtle creative life energy that is in all things wants you to thrive. Sometimes that means giving you want you and sometimes that means giving you what you need. Be grateful for it all! If you see stop signs everywhere, change your actions. Synchronicity fills the life of those who are on the Path of their Highest Potential. Always has, always will.  Look around - what do you see?

TODAY'sAFFIRMATIONS

I am receptive to the subtle messages of the Uni-verse and follow them with trust. I see everything in my life as a miracle. I walk the path of my Highest Potential. I know that I am on the path of my Highest Potential because the action I take feels good and very exciting indeed!

RIGHT PERSON

TODAY'sQUOTES

"Attachment to being right creates suffering.When you have a choice to be right, or to be kind,choose kind and watch your suffering disappear." - Dr Wayne Dyer, best-selling author and speaker. "A power struggle collapses when you withdraw your energy from it. Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you change your intention from winning to learning about yourself." - Gary Zukav, best-selling author. "What angers us in another person is more often than not an unhealed aspect of ourselves. If we had already resolved that particular issue,we would not be irritated by its reflection back to us." - Simon Peter Fuller, author.

does not withhold, it does not play games, it does not need to be right. Love is a constant flow of giving and receiving. It is not enough to love yourself. Loving yourself is an important and vital first step, but loving yourself alone will eventually lead to plain old narcissism. For love to be complete it's gotta be shared. For love to be complete it's gotta be given and received. There are a lot of people out there who say "I'm doin' me", or "I'm just lovin' myself" and I say congratulations! But here's a warning: Don't love yourself only; if you do, you will wither  and die a spiritual death. Sometimes, loving yourself can be a wall to hide behind the willingness to be vulnerable. Love requires vulnerability to flow. Without vulnerability, love cannot grow and love cannot flow. It takes a strong person to love themselves, especially if they have lived their whole life NEVER loving themselves. But know that loving yourself is a first step; it is not the destination. A relationship based in love is a constant giving and receiving by each person. You will not lose yourself in a balanced relationship, because the right one for you will also support your needs; it can't be otherwise. The key is to pick the right person, and that takes courage. The right person will challenge you. The right person will scare you. The right person will demand the best of you and call you on your inconsistencies. But the right person will also be willing to work through problems when they arise, instead of bailing!

Be Open to Love!

TODAY'sQUOTES "For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress." - Dan Brown, best-selling author. "As a rose can't live without the rain So a heart can't love without risk of pain" - Anon "The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you ,but to have another with whom you might share your completeness." - Neale Donald Walsch, is an American author of the seriesConversations with God. "The new female and the new male are partners on a journey of spiritual growth. They want to make the journey. Their love and trust keep them together. Their intuition guides them. They consult with each other. They are friends. They laugh a lot. They are equals .That is what a spiritual partnership is: a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth." - Gary Zukav, best-selling author. MASTINSAYS My name is Mastin Kipp & I am the Founder of The Daily Love. Photo by Brent Mullins. Many times we wish and wish for the right person to come into our lives. We don't seem to understand why it's not working out with others. We end up in toxic, unloving relationships, and deep down know something better is out there. The challenge is, when something better does come along, to not run away. After years of disappointment, heart break and unhappy endings, it can be very easy to close down on real love. No matter what, don't' let that happen! Remember, strength in the muscles of your body is created by your muscles being ripped apart, and then rebuilt. Your heart and your emotional intelligence and fitness operate the same way. It is easy to close down after you've been hurt. It's easy to throw a wrench into real love when it comes. I understand it's scary, but WHO CARES! Move forward in spite of your fear. Move forward INTO the scariness of it all. Be courageous. Don't let fear win. OPEN UP anyway. The risk of not opening, in the end, is far worse than the risk of opening. Don't let love pass you by. Don't let fear win. NO! Instead, let love win. Open up, even when, you are afraid. Open up, even when you are scared of getting hurt. Open up, even when you don't know what's going to happen. Listen to me: LOVE WILL PASS YOU BY if you always choose the safe path. I am not suggesting that you open up to the first person who comes along. No. I am not suggesting that at all. I am suggesting that when you have a connection with someone, when you feel it, when you are so scared of how much you feel it, go in the opposite direction of your fear. Do not be afraid of the love you feel. KNOW THIS: The right person will meet you. The right person will show up. But they can't if you don't open. Learn to value openness and rebuilding your heart more than safety. Don't let the wounds of the past create a wounded future. No. It can be different. Love can be yours. But first you must be open to it. Learn how to be more loving from your past pain, not how to be more closed. Don't give up on love, no, give IN TO love! TODAY'sAFFIRMATIONS I am open to love.   From now on, fear will not get the best of me. From now on, I let Love be my guide.   Every day, in every way, love finds me and I accept it.
