Traditions - do you know why you do what you do?

Throwing rice at the newly married couple is an old tradition rooted in wishing the couple prosperity and fertility.

Over the years we have substituted whole grains of rice with instant rice.
Whole grains processed and dehydrated - a changed form of the whole food.
Created out of a desire for speed and convenience.
Rice that may have been irradiated, stripped of the DNA required to reproduce in na
ture and continue a natural life cycle.
Rice that offers our bodies less nutrition, but cost much more money.

An interesting progression
(or regression, depending on how you view this).

Listen...

Listen and Silent

Two words with the same letters.

Their power is revealed in friendship.
A true friend will Listen to you when you are Silent.

The magic zone




So, here’s a formula:

Your ‘comfort zone’ is safe, predictable and yes, comfortable.
Fabulous opportunity, breath taking experience - the passions of life -
Are found ‘outside’ of the routine.

Step it up
Step outside

Don’t sit back and watch it pass you by.

Just take the first step! ❀


Be a character!

Develop and express your individuality!

If your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream and produces positive outcomes, 
then be proud of it. 

Be a character, not a type!

Did you know that you travel with several co pilots?

It’s true!

They come in the form of :

God
angels
spirits
intuition
scruples
hatred
fear
love
desperation
faith
hope
etc..........


Are you turning over your ‘controls’ to the host with the most?
Or the beast with the least? ........................

Ignorance can be an expensive option.

Costing you :

your health
energy
time
relationships
headaches
missed opportunities
money
your dreams


It’s the opposite of being aware! ❀

Today, as you are sitting at your desk, waiting at the bus stop, sitting on the edge of your bed and reading this post, you are a culmination of every single experience that life has given you.

The good, the bad, the horrific, the pain, the pleasure, the many, many lessons that were provided, and hopefully recognized.
Your thoughts, some of your actions, they are uniquely yours- the result of
 a masterful tapestry that is constantly spinning its threads.

There may have been a point in your life when you actually wished for something that you regret today.
We simply don’t understand the domino effect of choice, the master plan that makes sense of seemingly unconnected events.

Realize, everything happens as it should. ❀
