Thought to ponder.... by Rocky Balboa.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But, it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!

12 ways love creates better health and happiness By Dr. Paul Haider”

Love is the one ingredient that does not come from food, in a tablet, a capsule, or even in a bottle, it’s the one elusive ingredient that many people forget about for great health and vitality.

And love is all about giving, and giving in itself has many health benefits, thus love is the most important ingredient of all!

Boosts the Immune System -  In studies those that argued in a loving way had no suppression of their immune system while those that argued in negative ways had a huge drop in their immune system.

Feel Happier – Love increases dopamine levels in the brain thus you sleep better, feel happier and have a better outlook on life. Studies show that just looking at photographs of people we love increases dopamine levels in the brain and creates a feeling of bliss. And studies show that love gives us extra vitality and an optimistic look on life. Those in committed loving relationships also have a lower incidence of suicide, depression, drug abuse, and alcohol… and seem to be happier in general with less stress and anxiety… and even few colds and visits to the doctor.

The Power of Touch – Babies that are not touched for long periods of time show a lack of brain development. These studies where carried out years ago in orphanages where children were cared for and fed but not lovingly touched… in the end their growth was stunted and their brain did not develop like other children. Being touched by loved ones leads to feelings of peace, love, and contentment.

Less Pain – Those in love have less pain than those who are not in love. In studies where a man or woman were given electrical shocks if they held the hand of someone they loved… they had less pain. Also friends holding their hand lowered their pain… but not as much as someone they loved deeply holding their hand.

Longer Life – People in committed relationships on the average live longer that those that are not. And those those in love seem to have less stress, and they take care of themselves better thus they live longer. Dr. Dean Ornish feels that people in loving relationships can live up to 5 times longer than those who are not in a committed relationship. And a study done in 1979 showed that people in committed relationships had a much lower incidence of cancer, heart attacks, and pneumonia.

Great Looking Skin – Those in love have less stress hormones running through their body causing acne, thus love does create healthy looking attractive skin.

Lower Stress – People in committed relationships have less stress… and less cortisol(stress hormone) in their body that create cardiovascular disease, and people who are widowed, single, and alone have a much higher rate of heart attacks.

Better Fitness – Couples that exercise together keep going strong and feel good about their regular exercise. And those that are in relationships workout harder too, thus they lose more weight and look good and feel better about themselves. 1/2 of those who are not in committed relationship and start an exercise program stop within a year.

Better Healing – Studies show those in committed relationships have more killer cells and antibodies that eliminate bacteria, viruses, and even cancer cells from the body, and skin wounds heal faster for those in committed relationships.

Better Brain – Those in a committed relationship may be smarter too… because they secret chemicals that promote brain cell growth.

More Confidence – Those in loving relationships attain more than their counter parts because they are less likely to be depressed, commit suicide, or partake in drugs or alcohol. Thus achieving life long goals such college degrees, starting a business, or writing a book.

Lower Blood Pressure – And studies done at the University of North Carolina show that those who received hugs on a regular basis… have lower blood pressure.

Question:

If we all are connected, why do we feel this connection with some people more than other?

Response:

The universal connection we have with everyone and all life is by virtue of our pure consciousness. The emotional connection with feel with some people and not others has to do with our shared experiences, affection, memories and emotional interactions with them.

Finding what it is YOU are looking for.

Finding what it is YOU are looking for.

You are actually looking for an emotional groove, more aptly put, a vibrational/emotional groove.

Your unique being that is different to every other, is what you came forward into physical reality with. Your uniqueness carries with it an underlying harmonic vibrational signature; it is THIS signature that sets you apart from the rest and you will come to know this signature as your "intention for being." You at the moment call it your personality.

So in truth, you are ALWAYS reaching for that emotional groove, even when you are unaware of your uniqueness. Being unaware of your uniqueness comes from your being entangled in stories (stories that you have involved yourself in) that are far removed from "WHO YOU ARE." It is because you live outside of what you came here to do, that you get to feel so disconnected with self. Your uniqueness can not be removed from you, for it holds the very reason you came. It also has been the main cause of most of the "directions you choose" whilst living your life.

Now let US explain this in other words.

YOU came forward with "an intention."
The' "intention" unbeknown to you IS a vibration that already exists within all you are; meaning there is a vibration that is active within you that is different to every other being. It is YOUR vibrational groove, that YOU are constantly trying to align with in your quest for joy.

"Have you not noticed yet, that the further you move away from your personality, the further away you seem to move from joy filled experiences resulting in that trapped feeling supposedly caused by others?"

You can not separate from the uniqueness/intention you came here with; it is the driving force behind everything you were and will be. This is why WE say you need to go "with-in" to find your bliss, it is always "with-in" you that you will align with your vibrational/emotional groove and as you already know and have come to understand, you are always your happiest, when you align with the personality that you are, the personality of one that depicts LOVE and a desire for more, whilst allowing all others to pursue there own uniqueness.

You CAN "save" yourself.

You CAN "save" yourself. This is well within your capability.

Your clothes can be years old, torn and tethered by constant use because that is all you have.

Your health can be poor reflecting an image you would rather not see reflected back.

You can be lost and all alone with your thoughts of how everybody around you is against you.

You may even be trapped (well so it seems) within an abusive relationship aimed at bringing your worth down to levels you never knew could exist.

THIS ALL can change.

Faster than you "allow" yourself to realize just how much "say" you have over all around you.

When you get that "your" contemplation in negative fashion regarding your predicament KEEPS you from evolving past the predicament (entanglement,) THEN you will have a desire to focus more of your attention on the things you do want.
Negative thought draws into you negative emotion, the emotion comes to you through your inviting it through thought. When you "stay" focused dwelling over the entanglement you are in, THEN you are inviting more situations in which to feel those "same" emotions through new experiences.

When you say every day that "My clothes are old." then there is nothing new coming to you tomorrow. YOU have to invite the new stuff in, and clearly you are not drawing to you what you want, if every day you have to state the obvious.

It would be more advantageous to say, "These clothes of mine are old, I would prefer to see myself dressed in clothes that reflect who I am." and so you begin a dream about what that picture of you would look like and within your mind, you reach for a good feeling out of "those thoughts." The new feelings you feel which are very different to the lack you felt, is now your new calling, and as long as you keep aligning yourself with the dream (meaning you return often to that feeling) THEN the new clothes will be afforded to you.

YOU have absolute deliberate control over this power to draw people places and things too you. When you reach for the feeling, then an experience holding that feeling will come to you. When you reach for more negative feelings, so more experiences come to you with those feelings for you to feel again and again until you stop asking for them.

YOU CAN save yourself, by redirecting your thought towards YOUR DESIRES for self. "One"

“When death comes…. 
I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: 
what it’s going to be like, that cottage of darkness?

And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an

and I consider eternity as another possibility,

and I think of each life as a flower, as

as a field daisy, and as singular,

and each name a comfortable music in the

tending, as all music does, toward silence,

and each body as a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth.

[from the poem "When Death Comes"]” ― Mary Oliver

Love fever

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
-Louis de Bernieres
