Learning to let go of resistance

If you wait until your body is completely dehydrated before you drink something or completely emaciated before you eat something, your body can get far out of balance.While it is possible to eventually bring your body back to a state of well-being—it is much easier to maintain a healthy physical balance than to recover it after losing it.

Most people never put themselves into the dramatic situation where they are without water or food to the point of doing damage to their physical bodies; however, it is not uncommon for people to deprive their bodies of something equally important: alignment with Source Energy.

In the same way that it is a good idea to drink when you feel the indication of thirst—and therefore maintain your Well-Being long before dehydration is experienced—it is equally important to change the thought and release resistance at the first indication of negative emotion. For while it is certainly possible to withstand negative emotion for long periods of time, it is not the optimal experience for the cells of your physical body.

When you learn to release resistance in the early, subtle stages, your physical body must thrive. Thriving is what is natural to you.

Lessons in parenting

I got this via WhatsApp. Think it's so relevant.

1. If your child lies to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour

2. If your child is not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you’ve lost them.

3. If your child had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them.

4. If your child does not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.

5. If your child takes things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don’t let them chose what they want.

6. If your child is cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.

7. If your child does not respect other people’s feelings, it is because instead of speaking to your child, you order and command them.
 
8. If your child is too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to good behaviour.

9. If your child is excessively jealous, it is because you only congratulate them when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don’t successfully complete it.

10. If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.

11. If your child is openly defiant, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don’t follow through.

12. If your child is secretive, it is because they don’t trust that you won’t blow things out of proportion.

13. If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behaviour.

14. If your child doesn’t listen to you but listens to others, it is because you are too quick to jump to conclusions

15. If your child rebels it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right

These 15 sentences just about sums it up. 

There's no perfect parenting, but you sure as hell can try to be as good as possible using these guidelines.

The 3 types of power you can develop yourself

We need to develop three kinds of power. 

People who hold these three powers cannot be ignored.

1. Power of presence - Being really present in each moment

2. Power of communication - Speaking my truth

3. Power of position - Being willing to take a stand

A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself

Fearing a mistake

One of the greatest handicaps is to fear a mistake.
 
You would have stopped yourself.

You have to move freely into the arena, not just to wait for the perfect situation, the perfect moment... 

If you have to make a mistake, it's better to make a mistake of action than one of inaction. 

If I have the opportunity again, I must take chances
