If you invest energy in tough work, you will swing you into pleasure and harmony through satisfaction. Of you drive too hard towards pleasure you will become pulled to dissatisfaction and difficulty.
#investment #pleasure #hardwork #satisfaction

Have balance in your life- the energy of your being will always try to find balance , so if you push too much in one way, it will swing you back to the opposite energy.

Everything that you have now, everything that you love, your body and capabilities, you will eventually lose. Be thankful for each moment you get to exercise your power. Use this knowledge to be more fully present to where and how you are in the current moment.

Radical thought:
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

Mindfulness reminder:
That which knows there is anger or frustration, is not that which is angry or frustrated.
The part of me that knows there is breathing happening, that is not the breath itself.

It's good to know what is happening in the news around the world, but think: do you know the news of the birds in your backyard? How is their day going?

Do you have receipts for your feelings? Do you really own them? They are so fleeting, and you should realize that they are not yours. They are not a real part of YOU, they are public property which you are misappropriating.

Identity formed among others is important for motivation. If you do not belong to a group; a society, place, or culture, than for whom will you be the hero? About who will you care enough to give selflessly of your energy? Even your own species is a group. #bethehero #identity #findyourpurpose

As with many parts of life, you must engage with its energy and respect its nature if you want to command your path along its ways.

Money is not a thing, it is not some sort of stable attribute or part of a personality. It is a flow of energy. If you want a good flow of wealth in your life, you must let it flow in its give and take properties.

There must be forgiveness of the self and acknowledgement of the negative pattern in order for it to come to harmony, and dissolve.
#healing #harmony #forgiveness

When you find a part of yourself that feels weird or brings feelings of shame or guilt, it is important to not turn away, but to sit with the feeling for a moment. What does it want? Where does it belong in your life?

If someone has fear and no proper tools for dealing with it, they may turn to their religious convictions as a source of surety and safety. In a dark irony, they then may commit acts in the name of their convictions that do not align with the original teachings of that faith.

At all times there has also been a force of good stemming from religions. There are always pure and beneficial as well as corrupted sides to a belief system that has manifested in human beings.

Look for products that guarantee a pharmaceutical grade quality. These products are often made in high-standard facilities owned and operated by the same company selling the supplement. #pharmaceutical #inhouse

Supplements are often regulated under food regulations, which means the ingredients may not be in precise quantities or of standardized quality. Scientific formulations are important for getting an effective product.
#qualitycontrol

With increase in acceptance of various nutritional supplements as a necessary component of health, one needs to be mindful of their quality. The supplement industry is poorly regulated for what is supposed to provide.

No person can be a burden on a society because society at its root is about helping people. If we don't have a society where we help each other, then what's the point of organizing humans in any way at all?

Everyone has both sides within themselves, and it is understanding how both energies work together that leads one to harmony.
#harmony

I have the strength and courage to do and act. Masculine energy thinks that it creates because it does in the raw material sense. But the design and the meaning both come from the feminine side of one's energy.
#power

I hear that you might not believe in yourself, but I do, so tough. If anyone stands in the way of the life you want I am ready to knock them back or look deep in their eyes and give them a hug, whatever they need to get past the desire to stand in the way.
#compassion

Being in masculine energy is having the courage to do the things that must be done in order to preserve whatever hard lines you have drawn. Hardness and compassion can coexist; the "hard line" is in regards to the compassion of life. 🧵1/3
#masculinity

We over intend. We have so much power that we stumble over it, taking our own myriad possibilities for granted. So do not be so quick to discount the smaller intentions of all that life that is thriving around you when you are seemingly alone.
#lifeiseverywhere #intentionality #consciousness

If you give yourself to those forces lovingly and with a positive sense of your own nexus, they will return the energy in kind and acceptance.
#diversity #acceptance #abundance #life #vibrant #energy #compassion

A plea for any beings out there that can hear:
Do not be afraid of this life-abundance that surrounds you. You are a part of it as well in any case. Embrace the diverse vibrancy of this universal body; feel its flow and sense its wonders.

On my recent visit to the mountains, I took a less-traveled trail. It led through a faerie city, and I was only able to walk without slipping or catching on branches after I promised not to take any more photos.
