When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.
Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument.
That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.

"Why is everyone so happy except for me," asked the student. "Because they have learned to see Goodness and beauty everywhere" said the master. "Why don't I see goodness and beauty everywhere?" "Because you cannot see outside of you what you fail to see inside." ~Anthony de Mello
You suppose you are the trouble But you are the cure You suppose that you are the lock on the door But you are the key that opens it It's too bad that you want to be someone else You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

Be on the lookout for symptoms of Inner Peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to Inner Peace, and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.
Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:
A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment. A loss of interest in judging other people. A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others. A loss of interest in conflict. A loss of the ability to worry (this is a very serious symptom). Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation. Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature. An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others, as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
<< WARNING ! >> If you have some or all of the above symptoms - please be advised that your condition of Inner Peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk.
Every time we rely on someone or something outside of us to provide us with love, success or happiness, we hand our power over. As soon as they don’t provide it- we are defeated. Ironically, when we decide to be love, success and happiness, we easily attract the people, events and objects that supplement this state.
Needing is a state of the ego – that tries to convince us that we are empty and we need something to feel love, success and happiness. Our true self requires nothing to feel complete. From a state of being complete we create more to complete us.
You have always been deciding the truth of your life. It is how you decide to feel about it. There is no need to try to work out what something means. You decide what it means!~~~~by Melanie Tonia Evans
Wishing you a Blessed week filled with Love Joy & Success! Namaste -Sally
FOOTSTEPS IN AFRICA please share this with all your friends: Promo Trailer
"Footsteps in Africa, A Nomadic Journey" is an exciting visual narrative in the Sahara desert that questions the modern way of life which separates man from nature. The Nomad is aware of how modern man forgets that all of humans material possessions are just a false sense of security and freedom. ‘Speak with your feet’. Nomads will survive 21/12/2012........ This is one of the themes we have been exploring for the past 8 months in our online roleplay “Arkadia Rising: A Dark Gothik Tale” (BlissMinx myspace Blog)
"Do you want to meet the love of your life? -Look in the mirror."
"It's not your job to like me - it's mine."
"Placing the blame or judgment on someone else leaves you powerless to change your experience. Taking responsibility for your beliefs and judgments gives you the power to change them”
"The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story."
"You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer."
"The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there. And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.”
Quotes: Byron Katie Art: Mahmood Al khaja
Wishing you new days filled with Love Laughter & Light! Namaste -Sally
Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else. ~Joseph Campbell
