SELF EMPOWERMENT

“I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. Its because of them I’m doing it myself.”

THE FRUIT OF PERSERVERANCE

Don't quit. Suffer now & live the rest of your life as a champion!

quote by Muhammad Ali

SHINING LIGHT

Marianne Williamson "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

quote by Marianne Williamson

ESSENCE OF LIFE

THE BELOVED

To place You in my heart may turn You into thought. I will not do that! To hold you with my eyes may turn You into thorn. I will not do that! I will set You on my breath so You will become my life.

quote by Rumi

INNER PEACE

We cannot achieve world peace without with out first achieving peace within ourselves...Inner peace. In a atmosphere of hatred & anger, competition, violence no lasting peace can be achieved. These negative & destructive forces must be overcome with compassion, love & altruism, which are the essential teachings of The Buddha.

quote by Tenzin Gyatso

THE KALAMA SUTRA

Do not believe, just because wise men say so. Do not believe, just because it has always been that way. Do not believe, just because others believe so. Examine & experience yourself!

quote by The Buddha

AFFIRMATION OF CHANGE

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

RIGHT SPEECH

CULTIVATION

BUDDHIST NOBLE EIGHT FOLD PATH

Right speech is about is about being conscious and aware of what we are saying and doing. Morality is not about being judgmental or making us feel unnecessarily guilty. It is about learning how to assess ourselves honestly and being humble when we see we are not perfect, rather than feeling depressed or inadequate. Right speech includes everything we say. We might think perhaps that speech is not as important as an action but speech – and its development, the written word – can have a big impact, leading to either good or bad consequences. Our modern age has a tremendous capacity and range of verbal expression, so it is more important than ever that we practice right speech. Right speech has four elements. The first is abstaining from false speech, or lying, and cultivating truthful speech. Always being truthful helps accord with the reality and dispels illusion. The second is abstaining from harsh speech, shouting insulting, or being sarcastic, and cultivating courteous, friendly speech. This relies on patience an tolerance. The fourth is abstaining from idle chatter, including television, radio, and newspapers, and cultivating speech that is important and valuable. This is supported by mindfulness – not letting our attention be distracted by sensationalism.
