Trusting others

It might not be our cup of tea. It might not be the way we see things. It might not be what we are use to. But we all need help once in a while. Whatever it is, there is no shame in seeking help. Oftentimes, we think we can do it alone because our desire is there and we feel strong, but sometimes desire is not enough and courage to trust others is required from us.

Courage to change our habits. Courage to leave our pride and old ways. Courage to choose to be better than we were yesterday. It’s easy to remain set in your old habits, traditions, and ways of doing things; but to be better and progress requires great change. Great change in our lives perhaps needs guidance from someone else.

Being humble

Courage to let others help us, guide us, point the way, is about humility. Humility is the opposite of pride. Pride is eating us alive, and it might be taking us on a wrong path. Life is difficult, things are challenging, events unfold unexpectedly. We all go through that. But that is why it is so important to find your people, your tribe, your family; and then let them give you a hand, let them connect with you.

This bond might be just what changes your life for the better, or not so much; but truth is you’ll never know if pride is allowed to fester in your mind. Freedom is about liberating yourself from all that anxiety and burdens you may carry. Sometimes others carry their own burdens, and so they can give you guidance in your own life. Because sometimes is about letting others close to your heart instead of judging so much with your mind.

You know love by…

Love must be observed carefully and not be a reactive impulse. Some people are quick to love, when they are only seeking validation from their target. This people do not know true love, but they are only seeking you to validate them and how they feel about themselves. This is needy, clingy people.

Some other people show affection by honest behavior, without words, without labels. They just give with joy, they comprehend the patient process of affection. This people have a greater chance at true love, because they pace themselves and build trust.

Always observe the people around you–i.e., your family, friends, lovers, even in marriages of a long time. People have different ideas of love and sometimes they distort their affections towards another. You know love by close observation of behavior.

When you see it.

A world with magic, happiness, love, freedom to be ourselves, unique and creative. Isn’t that what we all, at some level in our different ways, seek…?? And it seems far away, even impossible, doesn’t it…?? But what if you held the power though…??

People create their own hell and fall trap of their own blinding fear. The divine in them cannot find a way to fill their minds with love and understanding if all it finds buried deep in the psyche is sadness, or contempt, or feelings of mistrust, or arrogance, or the sort of darkness which brings selfish addictions and vain thoughtlessness. But none of us is doomed to the lower self, to dwell in negativity and worthlessness; but to rise and see what is beyond our ego and above our negative thinking, we have to accept that we cannot know everything, we have to accept that there are forces we have to trust–namely forces of nature. What are these forces of nature…?? We may give them various names perhaps, but one that sticks to us as human beings above all others is Love. This is real magic! The universe runs on magic! It is magic then because this is a force that exists inside each atom, eternally, throughout all, around us and in us, and as source of life itself; and all evil, misconduct, fear, misery, is because of love–it springs or branches out from it.

Our minds create the duality, but still the magic reigns. But have you seen how a smile, kindness, goodness, thoughtfulness, attracts…?? It unites. Magic creates, unites. But in order to be love, rise in love, patiently find a partner, become this connective tissue of eternal friendship, you must rise to the challenge, believe in love, trust it–even though you may feel worthless or miserable, rise to this challenge. Be magic, which means believe you are magic; just because you are–and your mind is the only one which does not truly know what you are, it might know concepts and philosophies but it doesn’t fully grasp your magic. So, you must be ready at all times to smile, to be kind and gentle, to see the good in the bad, to turn a bad mood into a good mood, and to remain faithful in the midst of your own mind’s negligence.

Believing in magic, like when you were a child before all the corruption and dullness of adulthood filled your mind, is the only way to be magic, to be love and understand that there are forces in nature you must trust. Whether you seek a partner, a better financial situation, a better understanding, a more creative and positive personality, you must be magic first; allow love to rise in you by doing all those things that get you closer to love. Practice until you become it!

Emotional Adventure.

If you want to keep the love flowing, alive, burning constantly, deep and mature, make every day an adventure–prioritize adventure. The human mind gets bored and lazy with routines in relationships and in life in general, so bring a challenge to your mind, behave consciously, assume your role as woman or man of deep emotional understanding. This has to become more important than routine, otherwise affection will wither in time. And by adventure I do not mean go bungee jumping or run a marathon together, and I know most of the time people do these things because they think it really creates a rising in love in them, an eternal bond which grows in them; however fine and creative these activities, I am talking about deeper understanding, activities more at the emotional level.

Emotions and getting to the root of emotions is the key to access that power and that unity in all relationships. See, thrills and physical adventures are fine but they speak to the intellectual level, the level of likes and dislikes, the level of the ego and its activities–which, like mentioned, are fine and enjoyable, specially in the beginning of a relationship where everything is new and exciting like the new toy, because we are getting to know and enjoy each other’s presence and attraction. But it is the intellect where love is really…?? Can you truly find love if you live and enjoy each other from the mind’s point of view only…?? So how do you love somebody if you access only your ego/your mind/your intellectual witty and charm all the time…?? What is adventure at the emotional level in relationships…?? What is helping each other discover a deeper bond, a deeper union which can withstand all fear and challenges rising in the mind…??

Emotions are indeed what drive us. You can have the highest IQ, be really intellectual, be a great philosopher, but emotions will drive you without a doubt; and that is why it is so important to be emotionally conscious, or emotionally connected to yourself. In relationships, what shall build mutual bonding and unions beyond the anomalies and challenges brought by time is an emotional understanding and connection which surpasses that union of the mind–an emotional connection will drive your love for each other ever stronger, and an intellectual connection will help but it won’t be enough because the mind gets scared, angry, stubborn, enslaved by likes and dislikes, by moods in time.

And emotional adventure is profound communication, feeling trusted, feeling appreciated for how you feel not for what you do or for what you say only. Emotional adventure is supporting one another and feeling as one team, and not as two people with different paths who happen to live together or share a mutual liking. Wherever we go we hold hands, we smile at each other and feel what the other one feels, we are in harmony/in sync, we vibe the same through aging/through time, etc. etc… Only emotional understanding, emotional adventure, can unite two persons for life…

37411858_507762166323817_5516908280808472576_n — Love is energy, power, substance which does not have anything to do with the mind, with the ego; it only speaks purely through the heart and it connects through emotions. So a relationship’s strength and heart can be found through sincere and open emotions only.

Self-help life truths.

Essential.

The hand of the man and woman connected with a red

“I don’t trust people who don’t love themselves and tell me, ‘I love you.’ … There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” ~ Maya Angelou; writer, poet, and civil rights activist.

“Most good relationships are built on mutual trust and respect.” ~ Mona Sutphen; Foreign Affairs Officer, consultant, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff.

Trust is the emotional connection in any relationship, being romantic, friendship, co-workers, or any other sort; and trust increases love and peace in the mind, thus creating a deeper understanding of the foundation of any committed and sincere relationship.

But trust must be earned also, it does not matter who you are, or who the other person is, and it does not matter the story in the relationship; and it must be displayed in behaviors and honest and open communication with one another, it must increase harmony and divine union–one must feel at ease and understood by the other, and vice versa.

And as with all serious interactions in the wide human spectrum, trust always must be founded on self-love, because if you love yourself, you trust yourself; and so, now you can carry this personal experience onto the outside relationships with another, you can truly give trust, and also recognize trust in the other person.

But you must be able to live and trust in the present moment, for the only true happiness you can fully experience is in the present moment, not in past memories or in future ones.

This is to say, that you cannot fully trust and be trusted only by what has been said or done in the past, or by what has been solely promised for the future, but you must watch the behaviors of the present and also listen to the words and thoughts being expound in the present.
