This is the third part of my three part series on Can A Person Change? This has been a very enlightening post for me, I hope it does the same for you. Please enjoy…

How do you “find your core”? How do you recognize it?
It is that voice in the back of your head telling you, “You are better than this,” telling you, “You know who you are and you know what to do.” You simply have to start listening to recognize and accept the words.

What does it mean to “Take the journey back to discover this being”? Continue Reading »

People Just Don’t Change Theory
As the title says, Can a Person Change? People just don’t change, look around you, people and yourself are doing the same exact things you were doing, say 18 years ago, really take a long hard look at your life what exactly are you doing differently? How are you different? I am not talking about your physical situation; I hope in all the years you look back you have changed. When I talk about physical change I mean, you graduate, you get married, I am not talking about the things that change with time but changes in the way you think, in what you do, does a person who habitually sleeps late become a morning person and loves it. Does a person fighting with addiction, food, spending, drugs wake up one morning and stops knowing deep inside that they will never become that person again.

People just don’t change or maybe it is just me. One good thing about this theory is that it gives me an excuse for others, I look at a person I have known for ages and marvel at how much the same person they are and my “people just don’t change theory” helps me accept them for who they are, gives me a reason to love them more, or lets me know it is time to end the relationship.

People just don’t change, how sad.

These series of blogs came about during a period when I knew I was changing, into what or whom I could not say when I started but this was one of the processes I went through when dealing with the change. Please enjoy and I hope it helps you find your way through this journey called life.

I found an 18 year old journal entry, yes, I was a child when I wrote it, but much to my dismay some of the entries seemed like something I could have written yesterday. I walked away too scared to admit the realization that I may still be the person I was when I made that journal entry. It took me four weeks of denial and trying to come up with some evidence to prove this realization wrong before I could look at those pages again.

Each week I seem to come up with a new theory on how face myself and face the true in the possibility that I had not changed in 18 years, or that I had changed and didn’t know into what. My journey was not to discover something earth shattering or new ways to split the atom, my journey was to find a way to soften to blow. I am sharing with you the results of my journey, in the hopes that if you are also on a quest to seek the truth about yourself or searching for proof that you have changed in some way, that this would help you on your journey.

It isn’t for the moment you are struck that you need courage, but for the long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security.
Anne Marrow Lindbergh, 1906-2001 American pilot, poet and writer

Anyone that has ever been struck by anything, another person or life, you know that picking yourself up and getting back on track, getting on your feet is where you need all the courage you can find. It is with courage that you are able to keep the faith and that is eighty percent of what you need to get back on your feet.

Keep sane,

Friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on to… because the older you get the more you need the people who knew you when you were young. – Mary Schmich

The importance of friends is never more evident than when you lose them. My life and experiences have taught me to hold on to the “Precious” few. Why precious few? Because in life you need to know that there are people out there that have your back, people you can count on no matter what. It is a pretty lonely life without such friends but life is such that you meet and make new friends everyday. It is up to you to weed out the friends that make you feel less than yourself, the friends you don’t trust to be there for you and so on, they are the friends that come and go. It is also up to you to take care of the “Precious Few”, the same way you expect them to take care of You.

It has been a long journey but I believe I have finally gotten all the lessons I need on forgiveness. The realization came to me today while reading a paragraph in the book Chakra Balancing by Anodea Judith, the paragraph summarizes everything I have spent a long, long trying to understand and say about how to forgive, why you forgive, when to forgive and how to move on with your life.

If you are reading this blog because you have someone you know you need to forgive this paragraph gives you all you need to know in a nut shell. If you need more I have included links to the copious information I have gathered on forgiveness in this blog.

Here is an excerpt on forgiveness from Chakra Balancing Kit: A Guide to Healing and Awakening Your Energy Body: Continue Reading »

The forgiving state of mind is a magnetic power for attracting good.
Catherine Ponder

The law of forgiveness is the most powerful and important universal law, it states that: in order to make your life better you must begin by forgiving everyone, everything, every experience and every memory in your life that needs forgiveness.

Why? There are two reasons why you must forgive: first if you want to be forgiven you have to forgive and second, if you harbor any ill will, anger, regret or hate towards anybody you are preventing anything good and lasting from entering your life. Negativity of any kind clouds your mind, preventing it from creating the good that you deserve in you life and does serious damage to your health. Continue Reading »

The law of nonresistance is a protection law, the law asks that you believe in only good, good thing, good people and good outcomes. If you believe there is only good nothing bad can happen to you, Non-resistance means there is nothing to resist, when you think no one is out there trying to cause you harm, then no one is out there trying to cause you harm.

The law of nonresistance is your protection from the negative thoughts of people around you. The law requires that you do not fear that anything bad will happen to you. For the law to protect you, you must send out thoughts of good will to people around you. You should think that all people around only want what is good for you.

Whenever you start something bless it with success, nothing bad can happen therefore you know to expect only good results in all your endeavors. Continue Reading »
