Can't We All Just Get Along?

Can't we all just get along?
August 28, Chicago Infidelity Examiner
Julie Troob
How breathtaking is this sky? And its gorgeous sunset? Look at the perfect simplicity of this humble road! And the beautiful mountains... Why isn't society as peaceful as the rest of nature? What is wrong with our society? What is wrong with our relationships? Why can't we all just get along? What is wrong with us? Here is my basic theory about relationship issues and what we can do about it.
We are all full of fear. We are all trying to survive. We think that the next person is going to pull the rug from under us, or we always perceive that others are treating us wrongly. How can this be? It is true that there are many harsh critics, and much injustice. We all have basic instincts and most of us do not know how to regulate them without reacting from fear.
How do we get rid of the fear? Soul searching, therapy, meditation, experience, eventually, I believe we will rid ourselves of fear, after many more generations. I think we are on an evolutionary path toward morality. It is a slow one, but happening, if we do not kill ourselves before we can reach that place.
We need to forgive and forget. We are going to be wronged. We need to forgive, let it go, and then get close to people who will not do this to us, or give second and third chances when warranted. Letting it go, however, does not mean being walked on, it just means not hurting the other person back. Two wrongs do not make a right. We can more easily forgive by remembering who the enemy is....
IGNORANCE is the enemy, the enemy is IGNORANCE. So, in this case we try to lower ignorance, which creates fear, by teaching morality and things like the Law of Attraction to others. However, many people do not want to listen, or do not care at all. In fact, many people, including me, must reap the effects of our actions karmically in order to learn. In my book, with respect to all beliefs, I feel strongly about the nature of Karma and reincarnation. This makes everything equal.
So, why can't we all get along? Ha. One day we will, my friends. In the meantime, look at your part, work on yourself, as I do as well, and try to remember, it takes ignorance and fear to hurt another. Like so many great heroes have said in so many words, Love your neighbor and live a life of Charity.
Peace,
Julie

How to Turn Wisdom Into Power
August 26, Holistic Wellness Examiner
by Alice Landry
True wisdom is holistically integrated knowledge that has the potential to increase personal power as well as inspire others to use their power for good.
Transforming wisdom into personal and global power includes conscious and purposeful efforts to evolve and contribute meaningfully to the world community.
Those who are self-aware, have an interest in personal growth and development, and desire to be of service to society can use their life experiences and challenges as examples to assist others on their paths.
Wisdom can become power through the following means:
• When your personal strength comes from a source of good and love, not when the intention is abuse of power.
• When you make self-improvements daily.
• When you discover your soul's general and specific life purpose.
• When you help others without expecting anything in return.
• When you express gratitude for all that you already have.
• When you work with synchronicity and the universe to attract and manifest your goals.
• When you stay in the present moment and choose wise thoughts, feelings, and actions.
• When you consistently make healthy decisions.
• When you can appreciate the blessings in disguise and focus on the positive.
• When you continue on your personal quest despite challenges.
• When you can admit when you are wrong and not repeat self-destructive patterns.
• When you realize that you are responsible for the life you create and release a sense of victimhood.
• When you allow a healthy conscience to be your guide.
• When you learn to work smarter not harder.
• When you can combine rational thinking and intuitive wisdom into major life decisions.
• When you can detach from drama and remain calm and compassionate.
• When your mind, body, heart, and soul are balanced and aligned with good.
• When you embrace your individuality and express yourself through creativity and originality.
• When you continue to be a student in this universe/university.
• When you accept that change is the only constant and choose to evolve consciously.
• When you have respect and love for yourself and others.
• When you use what you've learned to educate, enlighten, and present opportunities for growth and development for others.
• When you feel fulfilled and satisfied with who you are and the person you've become.
Maintaining your inner power and transferring that feeling to the world can be refreshing and exciting as you increase self-awareness, network with others on a purposeful journey, and create boundaries for those who drain your energy.
Changing your knowledge into wisdom and your wisdom into power is beneficial and self-empowering. It can indicate a healthy sense of personal worth, confidence, and esteem.
When you are living holistically well and empowered, the experiences and people you attract into your life will also reflect that higher vibration.
Affirmations: I use my personal knowledge to gain wisdom. I change my thoughts, feelings, and actions into what reflects my highest good. My wisdom becomes power when I consistently and consciously evolve and by being of service to others. I use my power for good!

How Self-Aware Are You?
By Alice Landry
August 4, 2:10 PM
Self-awareness is the capability to look deeply into your own mind, body, heart, and soul and discover the underlying beliefs, values, and moral standards that influence the way you think, feel, and behave.
The only constant in life is change, and being able to adapt to the dynamic waves of life is an attribute of self-aware people. Those who resist may continue self-destructive patterns and fail to realize blessings in disguise, lessons they should have learned, or windows to new adventures.
With the desire and intention to increase self-awareness, you present yourself with the opportunity to consciously evolve and improve as an individual.
Review the following ways to become more self-aware:
• Actively listen to those who support and love you
• Develop a conscience
• Forgive yourself and others for past mistakes
• Release the need to control outcomes
• Intend for the highest and best path to unfold before you
• Keep your focus in the here and now
• Live your life from a love/Spirit-centered approach
• Look ahead to understand the potential consequences of your actions
• See the best in everyone, including yourself
• Learn to be more conscious of your thoughts and choose positive ones
• Keep your feelings in check and determine the source of negative emotions
• Avoid thinking in extremes (i.e. all or nothing)
• Release drama and choose peace
• Be responsible and empower yourself by owning your mistakes and achievements
• Be teachable and allow yourself to receive insights and epiphanies
• Know that there is always room for improvement and change is a necessary part of life
Gaining insight into yourself and why you make the choices you make can be scary - like looking in a pool of water and seeing the reflection but knowing there are secrets, fears, and murkiness that lie below.
The benefits of enhanced self-awareness include the ability to make healthier and purposeful choices, to improve the relationships with yourself and loved ones, and to reduce the negative effect of life stressors.
Affirmations: I increase self-awareness every day as I consciously monitor my thoughts, feelings, and actions. I live life from a place of love. I gain insight, learn from my mistakes, and move on. I am teachable and willing to see all sides of a situation. I am responsible for me.
