Dear Diary,

However much my mind tries to run away from the hurt I’m feeling - it just is what it is. I miss him. My mind runs back to the fun we had and I feel a sense of lack - so then my mind tries to protect me from that horrible feeling by reminding me how miserable I was at times with him and how he didn’t treat me right - and then I feel anger and self righteousness - which is even more horrible! My mind runs off into the future and I panic because I can’t imagine a future without him, we planned so much, that sense of lack again! So my ever-thoughtful head protects me again and invents some wonderful man who will be in my future life and it’s all bollocks as I don’t even want to date just now, so that doesn’t feel good either! Well, there’s always chocolate, but then I feel sick!

My dear mind, have a holiday! Stop running away with me. The feelings just are what they are. Sometimes I feel lonely, sometimes I feel really, really sad; sometimes I feel relieved, hopeful and so on. The only way is to go inside and feel. Just experience my emotions and let them be. No judgement, no blame, no analysing, no reasoning, just acceptance. Because that way I feel Peace. And from Peace comes Love and Joy.

The Truth is - what was, was and what will be, will be.

And so, I let all endings be new beginnings.

♥ Ali.

“When you feel overwhelmed, you’re trying too hard. That kind of energy does not help the other person and it does not help you. You should not be too eager to help right away. There are two things: to be and to do. Don’t think too much about to do—to be is first. To be peace. To be joy. To be happiness. And then to do joy, to do happiness—on the basis of being. So first you have to focus on the practice of being. Being fresh. Being peaceful. Being attentive. Being generous. Being compassionate. This is the basic practice. It’s like if the other person is sitting at the foot of a tree. The tree does not do anything, but the tree is fresh and alive. When you are like that tree, sending out waves of freshness, you help to calm down the suffering in the other person.”

“Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”

- Marianne Williamson (via danseurs)

““Deep down in your heart know that all is well. Understand that the Universe is your friend and can never hurt you. It is the substratum of all existence which is Love! When you develop a loving consciousness there can be no problems. Love takes care of everything. Love is the same as absolute awareness, pure intelligence, or the power of God. When you have enough Love inside, there are truly no problems. Problems only arise when you believe you are separate and lacking Love.” Robert Adams”
