Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

I was thinking the other day of my past

and things that really broke my heart.

I could still, after years, find some

pain and sadness within me.

But it was okay.

I have made peace with those things.

But what I really started to think was

what kept me going?

What helped me to go on even when

the pain was so strong that

it was hard to see the light?

 It was love.

 I was,

 and still am,

in love with life 

and

in love with who I am. 

The more I have learned to know who I am,

the more I've understood my capacity and potential as a human being.

And the more I've learned to trust to myself and intuition.

Pain is part of life.

We need to face that.

Instead of escaping the truth we should face it.

Even when it is so painful that we think it could kill us.

But it won't.

It will only make us stronger

and authentic.

The greatest challenges that we carry inside 

are the greatest potential we have.

To face the pain in you could be the greatest thing

you'll ever do to yourself.

The greatest gift is you.

Whatever you do in life

there is only one thing that can bring

you inner peace and true happiness:

to know who you are.

When you learn your true existence,

you learn to love yourself.

When you love yourself,

you accept yourself just the way you are.

And that gives you freedom.

Oh boy, that gives you such a freedom!

But my point was:

In life we break our hearts.

We shouldn't ignore it.

By ignoring it, it will control us unconsciously.

By facing it, we'll grow and take control of ourselves-

we will learn how to live life fully,

with all its colors.

I have made a life-long commitment,

the greatest commitment on earth:

to be truthful and faithful

to myself,

to my heart,

to my soul. 

Because that is something no one else can do, or even shouldn't.

That responsibility is mine, only mine.

And I love it.

Because that gives such a freedom too!

I have scars, I have pain and I have sadness in me.

I'm not ashamed to admit it or to show it.

Because in my opinion

that is what makes people beautiful.

To bee seen with everything we are

and still shine and still love,

still have faith and hope.

And still have an open heart to give and to receive-

even after we have broken our hearts

and suffered.

For me the beauty of humanity will always lie

in the hands of sincerity.

Who am I?

Your biggest concern should not be

what others think of you

or what you think about the other people,

but what you think about yourself.

Home

What I love the most

is the peace.

The peace within.

A sacred place where no one or nothing 

can reach.

It is just pure silence,

pure awareness,

acceptance.

It feels like warm waves 

of the ocean caressing me,

holding me.

Nowhere to go,

nowhere to be.

Just listen and watch.

And I become one with the peace,

I am the peace.

I am the silence.

At the same time I'm everything and nothing.

I'm everywhere and nowhere.

No questions, no answers.

Just emptiness and nothingness,

where peace is all that is

and can be.

This is the place that I love the most.

And nothing can replace that inner state

where I can let go of everything

and be nothing 

-and

yet everything.

Just Make The Effort

I guess we all have dreams.

We all have ideas

and we have things to do.

There are things that needs to be done in everyday life.

Errands.

Then there are things

we like to do.

And things we dream of.

Dreaming and visualization is very important.

It keeps the flow, makes us grow.

It makes us to learn and understand more. 

And when we are going towards something

new we are expanding our consciousness. 

When we learn something new, we are something different

than we were yesterday.

But there can be one problem.

The start.

We really need to do something,

take the steps, make the change.

In some way it's very common 

to human mind that we are

waiting and waiting.

Hoping that someone else could

tells us where to go and what to do.

Hoping that someone or something

will make the change.

But it's really about you.

Sometimes it's very good to have

people around who are pushing us 

forward, when we don't

find the courage or strength to move on.

But it's also very important to find the strength within.

If we always need someone else to push us,

to encourage us,

we are not controlling our own life.

We are not the masters, the creators.

We are dependent on the external world.

We don't trust in ourselves.

Find your inner guru, teacher.

Whether it is about cleaning the house,

strating a new project, finding a new job or

telling something important to someone,

just do it.

Next time when you really don't feel like it,

just do it anyway. 

Or if  there's something that

has been waiting a long time for your effort,

start now.

Show that you have the power.

Show that you can.

With small steps like this you are showing and proving

to yourself that you can do anything.

Today it can be cleaning the house,

next week it can be to make the dreams come true.

When you make the effort,

you are taking care of yourself.

You are sending a message to yourself that you

really care. 

That your life is worth living.

That you are the one who makes you happy.

You take the responsibility for your life.

The responsibility that belongs to you,

and only you.

And never think about that someone else is responsible for your

happiness and life.

Or sooner or later you will find yourself in misery.

Start now and soon you will

see how the energy is flowing,

you are flowing.

And life around you and within is supporting

you on your way.

'Each morning we are born again.

What we do today is what matter most.'

Dear Heart, Guide Me To The Moon And Back

What is the point of living

if we don't have the courage to be who we really are?

To dive, go into the deep adventures inside ourselves.

To find out what we truly love,

what we really desire.

To find out what makes us sad or angry.

Is there anything greater than to go back

and find out what really hurt you in the past.

What made you think that you are not

good enough.

To find out why you think that there's no point to dream.

Why you don't let people inside.

Isn't it great that we can go back and learn?

We can go back and understand.

We can be healed.

What is the purpose of living if we don't know who

we are deep within?

Whose purpose and dreams are we living then?

Who tells you what to do or how to think?

Who tells you the truth?

And why do you think that someone else could possible

know better than you what is the best for you?

It can be scary to face what was.

But it is still here in every moment if we don't face it.

It is controlling us - especially

 when we think that we have pushed it deep enough.

Deep enough not to remember.

If we don't face the past we can never be

who we really are. 

When we don't face the hidden feelings, thoughts

and desires we are not real.

It's called illusion.

And living in the illusion

is painful.

Year after year the burden of non-faced truths

gets heavier.

The mind is filled with the past,

not able to see what is now or could be.

To have something new, you have to make space within.

Have hope and an open-mindness.

Be curious, brave.

And when you feel the fear let it be

and see how the feeling of love and passion

is even greater.

How it grows step by step and leads you

all the way until the very end.

To the end where everything begins,

where is the true you.

Your greatness.

Your power.

Your light.

Love.

And from there you can rebuilt again.

Based on the truth you found from within.

It is something no one else can tell you.

It is something that can only be seen by your heart, 

your inner sight.

Others might see its reflection from your eyes,

it is the essence of you.

But it can only be found by you.

That will be your guide- you will be your guide.

And how great is that?

To live your purpose, know who you

are and accept and love yourself the way you are?

Isn't it how it's supposed to be?

That you live your life,

fulfill your dreams and trust yourself.

After all,

it is your life.

So live it.

You Shine In My Eyes and I Shine In Yours

Today I leave behind a very tough year.

In a way it has been one of the the hardest 

I've ever had.

I've been going through 

things that have required

a lot of will power, mental

and physical strength.

But it all is now falling behind

and I feel relieved.

I made it and I feel

now even stronger and I know

that all this needed to happen

so I'd be ready for something new

that is waiting for me.

These times had one great teaching:

sharing.

It has never been easy for me

to share the deepest parts of myself.

Some people have been saying that my life has

been easy, that everything I have

is because I was given more.

But how wrong they are.

Lot of anger, sadness, pain and

loneliness was hidden behind

happy and shiny face.

How could anyone know what

was beneath?

Even I didn't know,before

I went closer and started to see

what was buried within.

I just never knew what to do with it,

so I hid it. 

But everything changed some years ago

when I started to share.

I was blessed to meet people

in my life, who were pure

mirrors, people who were there for

me.

Who were there to listen and receive everything

with great love and acceptance.

And I started to understand that everything I am

is magnificent.

Even those most painful things.

I am perfect the way I am.

And all that has been carrying me on ever since.

During this last year it was the most important thing in my life.

I shared everything with the people who are close to me.

And all that made us even closer.

I wouldn't be where I am today, without them.

So, whoever you are,

wherever you are,

find someone you can trust.

I meen really really trust.

Who honors you the way you are,

and never tells you how you should live.

Who respects the real You. 

We are not meant to live alone.

Every burden is much more lighter when shared.

Every joy is multiple happiness when shared.

When we share, we come alive in other persons eyes.

When we share we come alive also

to oursleves.

When we share we learn new things about ourselves

and find places from inside

we could not find without others.

Share,but never lose who you are.

Don't let anyone tell you

who you are.

Because who you really are is

deep within you.

And that can be found only by you.

Only you can tell

what's really there.

I wasn't given more.

But I had the courage to face my past

and took the risk to loose everything I had

just to free myself

and to be who I really am.

My path is not easy at all.

But every step that I've taken

-and will take,

is worth it.

Because I walk the path of truth and freedom.

And in this world

there's nothing that could fulfill you more.

Or give a deeper meaning

for your life,

for you.

Every day

Every day I ask myself

to believe.

To have faith for the path I walk.

Especially when no one else

understands why I do what I do.

I ask myself to have faith in me,

because no one else can really know me

the way I know myself.

Understand me the way I understand myself.

And above all, live my life and fulfill my purpose.

I ask myself to have faith

because even if every one else

would believe in me, it really makes no effect

if I don't. 

Long time ago I chose to walk a different path,

the path of truth.

No matter what comes,

no matter how much it hurts, 

only the truth matters and sets me free

over and over again.

Every day I ask myself not be ashamed

the great power I have within.

For too long I hid it,

for too long I was afraid to believe in it.

And in the end, it was that great power 

which saved me and set me free.

Every day I ask myself

to have faith.

And every day I can see how it

grows,

how I grow.

And how the light is even brighter.

Reflections

There's something my hearts desires,

passionately.

But in my mind I believe it's impossible for me to have it.

So a conflict arises.

But all this really happens in my mind.

The wish of my heart is within me and it will not change.

It lays there, waiting me to believe in it.

But the harder I fight against my mind,

the more miserable I will feel.

Instead of waging a war against myself,I need to accept.

I need to accept whatever comes when

I dive in to the world of my behavior, thoughts

and constructs of mind.

Acceptance is something you can't override.

You have to face it, be present in this moment

and live with it.

After that the change will come,

you will change.

But you have to face who you are right now.

So, today I will live with the fact that I don't yet believe

in my dream fully.

I want it to be real, but I'm not ready to manifest it.

I have to face myself and the reason why I believe it's not going to happen.

After that I can let go and receive the change.

Whenvever you feel you can't do or have something.

Whenever you doubt your power or ability to achieve whatever you desire,

stop and listen.

Go back and try to understand what incidents in your past

are trying to concieve you that you're not good enough today.

Mind lives in the past, in everything that happened before.

If you only listen and believe everything the mind tells you,

you'll never be free.

Only in this very moment you can free yourself.

By accepting and then letting go.

Make a wish, believe and let go.

And one day you'll realize that your wish

is not a dream but reality.

The Rain Came and Washed Away The Old Me

When the darkness falls,

where you can find the light?

When all the others are lost,

are you be able to stay on the path of truth?

Have you found the place within you

where lives tranquility?

From that place you will always be

able to find the light,

even in the darkest hour.

That place will speak you only 

the words of truth and wisdom,

always.

That place is waiting to be found.

It wants to be found.

Just close the eyes, let go and listen

and you are already on your way.

Whispers Say The Time Has Come

As long as you refuse to see the greatness within you,

you'll be forever lost.

As long as you deny the desires of your heart,

you'll live without meaning.

All what  you are looking from the outside, 

you should look from within.

All the answers, everything you need,

is already there.

Are you ready to take responsibility?

To be the real you.

Truly, Madly ,Deeply

The meaning of life:

To find out who you are, truly, deeply,

within.

And be fully that person,

be the best You in the world.

And give yourself what your heart desires,

for what it's longing for.

And from that place give others as well.
