Awaken; Love, Thoughts, Enlightenment

"The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings."
-Buddha


If i could give everyone one gift, or help them to realize one thing. It would be to love; how to love themselves, love people, & love life. I've been so privledged to grow up with a loving mother and father; parents that have given me a strong foundation, in which I am able to look at life through loving eyes.

My mother always cheers and includs the underdog, not feeling the need to follow the crowd, even if that meant feeling a little lonely, I love how she sees the needs of others and goes out of her way to make things happen.
I know a lot of people don't understand her, or get mad when she defends others, but its the people that get mad or try to "attack" her that are really the "issue".
(I try to avoid these people) These are the people who; attact, defend themselves, make judgements, justify their actions, blame others, usually complain, need to control, needs approval, live in worry and fear, always have some sort of problem, tend to feel unworthy, powerless and limited, they more then likely are angry and have regrets.
I'm sure we can all think of someone right now... But how do we attempt to "soften" these people... Love. Yeah, it's hard to love someone living in Victim mode, they are probably lacking some sort of love, and haven't truly learned the value of life.

How do we love these people?
-Control our thoughts, when you start thinking negatively, stop yourself, focus on a positive.
-Send them a smile (fake it, till you make it!)
-if your into visualizing, picture them as an innocent 3 year old child, what was their childhood like? try and hug them as that innocent 3 year old.

My Father, is my hero, the prefect example of how a child should be loved. Yes, some say I spoiled rotten, a daddy's girl, but what really blew me away, and i finally was able to get a glimpes of how God loves us was through my father.
I heard all my life that "God loves you more then your earthly father ever could" but one day inperticular, i was blown away!!! I wish everyone could experience the love my father has for me, then maybe others would have a tiny idea of how much God really does love us.
-----------------------------------------------------

Anyways, I'm going to end this now, i'm starting to rant a little too long.
This has been on my mind these past few weeks, mainly because i feel surrounded by people who are in victim mode, and wished they would try and overcome that, and see the potential that life can have! I want people to Awaken from victims and transformation into enlightened loving people so they can become all that they are created to be.

Keep Reachin' High

Check out This video w/ Keshlin ft. Nova



Nova = Synnove
I met this girl during my time in LA this past spring.
Synnøve is one of the most beautiful girls I know. She is sooo incredibly talented, she is kind and honest and always sees the positive in life, she's also a prayer warrior, and doesn't let the oppression of her country hold her back!
She is an inspiration to me, to be who I am, to just be radiant of Gods love, and to love everyone the way God loves them.
I love you Synnøve
