`When you are unhappy, disappointed or discouraged remember that these are not permanent states, and that happiness is already preparing to visit you. But in the meantime do not passively endure these negative states, but tell yourself they can be put to use to work on your inner self. You could compare these states to the compost or manure you put onto your flowerbeds and shrubs to promote growth and make them more beautiful. And this analogy can also be made between the physical plane and the psychic, emotional and mental planes. And if you analyze how your psyche responds to stresses from the outside world or from your inner world, you will discover that you can extract energy from even your most negative states.`

The Future...
"Many people worry about the future. They worry about accidents, illness, poverty, in fact they feel totally exposed and unsafe. But why poison your life by imagining all kinds of misfortune? People should understand that such an attitude solves nothing. It is true we never know what the future holds, but the best way to avoid the misfortune we dread is by trying to live to the fullest extent in the present. This is how we build our future. You cannot build yourself a good future with a bad present, because there is continuity between the two. If your present is dark, do not be misled into thinking your future will be luminous. It would be like wanting to build a marble palace on clay foundations. The whole thing would collapse. So even if you have had a bad day, try to wipe away its negative effects and before going off to sleep make sure you have the best thoughts and make the best resolutions for the next day. Then these thoughts will clean up and repair everything during the night. This is what you should focus your energy on when it comes to the future, then and only then will the future be filled with light."

A tree... A reflection of oneself...
Here is another passage from my daily meditation book I would like to share with you...
'If you look carefully at a tree, you will see that everything is in its roots. The trunk, the branches, the flowers, the fruit are merely an expression of the roots, which manifest themselves into beauty, colour, splendour, flavour and scent. The roots themselves are black, ugly, expressionless, but what comes out of them is marvellous and if they should disappear there would be nothing left, no trunk, no branches, no flowers, no fruit.
Anyone who is amazed by the wonder of trees rarely thinks of the roots, how intelligent and competent these must be to produce such splendour. The roots are never talked about because they remain in the dark. But damage them, and that is the end of the tree. If, however, the roots are healthy, even if the branches are dead, the tree can come back to life again. This is something worth thinking about.'
Love and light!

Searching...
"In your natural state, you are happy. A dog is happy to be a dog. A cat is happy to be a cat; a flower is happy to be a flower; a tree is happy to be a tree. A star is happy to be a star. Even a stone is happy to be a stone. In the natural world, nothing other than human beings complain about being what they are.
Human beings are never very comfortable with being human. We are continually restless. We want to grow, grow and grow, more and more. We always want to know what is next. Human beings are all seekers. We feel we have lost something. The problem is that we don’t ask ourselves the most fundamental questions. What are we seeking? What have we lost? Where have we lost it? And where are we searching for it?
We have lost something that has always been with us. In the natural state of being, we are eternally happy, joyful, and blissful. We are in the state of natural spontaneity and creativity. That is our birthright. Humans, however, are not always happy. All too often, we feel a sense of frustration, of disorientation, dissatisfaction. We find ourselves thinking all sorts of negative thoughts, being caught in negative feelings and emotions. We want to get back to happiness. We start searching for our lost happiness. Where do we begin our search?"

A few moments to pause...
This was taken from my daily meditation book and I wanted to share it with you.
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, get into the habit of pausing for a moment to unite you with the centre, the source, the sun within you, and then continue on with whatever you were doing before. Yes, stop for a few seconds, re-establish the connection and carry on as usual. Nothing is more valuable than the acquisition of this habit. You may say, 'I do this but I don't really seem to get anything from it.' The only thing that matters is that you are able to do this exercise, because the excercise in itself will give you such satisfaction. It will bring you such happiness and well-being that you will need nothing else. Because during these moments you are inwardly rich, strong, powerful and invulnerable, and that is what is important.
I encourage you to get into this habit. It doesn't take long, 30 seconds to a minute, thats all. Go find a place that you can be alone. Get into the habit of doing this before you start work, and all throughout your day.
Connect with your inner being, your inner light. You all have so much beauty within you, you all have this peace within. Go and unlock it!
When I take my moments to pause I say this short mantra, or prayer. "I am connected to the divine energy that connects us all. I am one with all that surrounds me. I am love. I am light. And peace resides within me." That simple. Takes just a short moment.
Determination is the key, make it into a habit. Find your light and you find your happiness, your love, your peace, your divinity. Its there within you, right now.
Blessings and Love Always,
Fuego

Love will save the day
"The people who are the hardest to love are the ones who need it the most." - from the Peaceful Warrior
So true.
I work in the customer service industry and I sometimes find it difficult to love people, specially when they are pushing their negative energy on me. Its so easy to react to that energy by retaliation, but you know just as well as I do that it fuels the fire even more and makes matters worse.
In our ever so fast-paced world, it is implied that we should always react fast to make sure were not wasting time. What a wrong idea that was. So scratch that idea, lets make a new one. Let's live our lives consciously. Whenever you are confronted with negative emotions or negativity in general, pause for a moment. Feel the emotions you are feeling because of this situation you are confronted with. Feel the energy your mind is creating within you. Recognize that energy, truly feel that energy. Once you can recognize that energy, you can then make a conscious choice to act in retaliation or put the fire out and let the rivers of positivity flow.
I know its easy to say it, but its a whole other thing to do it. Its hard and it will take practice, every minute of every day. But you will find that you will have an abundance of peace and love constantly residing within you once you empower yourself to make this choice.
Blessings and Love always!

Oh yeah, and if you haven't seen the Peaceful Warrior, I definitely encourage you to watch it sometime.

Agents of Change
There are times of great change upon us!
People across the globe are waking up. Waking up from their life of unfulfilment and lack of meaning. They are realizing there is a serious lack of love in our world. And they are searching for ways to change it! Searching for ways to have that love come back into our world.
I believe that the cause of all of our troubles on this planet is due to a lack of love. A serious lack of self love...but can you blame anyone? We are not granted, especially in north america, the time to manifest this love. We are overworked and underpaid and it is causing enormous amounts of grief amongst us all. We can all feel this pressure. Pressure to have things, pressure to have status, pressure to be people we are not. We are constantly being told that we need stuff to feel happy. We temporarily find satisfaction in these things we acquire but a few days after the initial excitement, we still feel just as lonely and empty as ever.
We don't need things to make us happy. Happiness is within you at this very moment! Greatness is within you at this very moment! All you need to do is ask for it to be shown. Break free from the worldly ideals and search within. Meditate and pray. Connect with your divine inner light, in whichever way works for you.
We all have a light within us. Some of our lights are dimmed by the negative world around us and there are those of us who supersede the worldy ideals and shine brightly. The amazing thing about this light is that each and every one of us has the ability to make the light within brighter!
Speaking for myself, I used to be a spirit with a dim light. I let the world affect me too much, I let the world jade my thinking. I got back a few months ago from a life-changing journey to Peru, where I woke up and realized I have this great light that has been shunned for so long. I realized that this world can only have an affect on you if you choose to empower it to do so. If you change your thoughts, from negative thoughts to positive thoughts, you will change the world!
If you want to see change happen in the world, that change needs to happen within yourself first. Be the change that you want to see in the world. Tune out your judgmental mind and open up your unconditionally loving heart and spirit.
This is the first of many writings I will add to this blog. I, like you, want to see positive change in this world. I want to walk down the street and see people smiling at each other. I want to hear that the world has stopped fighting against each other. I want to see that every one of our brothers and sisters in this family of humanity come together and express love to each other, no matter what race, religion, sexual orientation, gender or otherwise. Break down these walls of illusion! You have the power to make change happen....NOW!
You might think "I am only one person, how can anything I do make a change." Let me share something with you my brothers and sisters... EVERY SINGLE PERSON MAKES A DIFFERENCE! Look back in history to Gandhi, Buddha, Jesus, Mohamed, Mother Theresa.... they were One person, and they influenced the ENTIRE WORLD!
We CAN make change happen. YOU CAN make change happen. Start by changing your outlook on the world . When you are confronted with a negative situation, think of how to make it positive, don't fuel the fire and make more negativity. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Realize that we are all fighting a tough battle. Learn to forgive each other if a fellow brother or sister does wrong to you. They are in the same situation we are. They are frustrated with the state of the world. Take that into consideration before you act in violence whether it be physical violence or violence in your attitudes. Let Love prevail in your day to day life. Look to the positivity that's around you. CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR WORLD!
Fulfill your destiny, awaken your soul. Live to learn, and learn to love.
WE WILL CHANGE THIS PLANET! WE WILL SEE LOVE! WE WILL SEE HAPPINESS!
And you know what... its already happening. we ARE seeing love, we ARE seeing change, and happiness. Its right in front of you, this blog is a manifestation of it!
I love each and every one of you who reads this, for you are my brother or my sister. Even though I may not have met you before, know that I love you! I love you for who you are, at this very moment! Spread this love to everyone...Be an agent of positive change!
