Life is amazing if we choose to see it that way. Inside of my sadness lies an incredible beauty. The excavation of my emotions, my desires and longing are all part of a magical journey,timberland boots uk. There is nothing about our life that does not contain the element of magic with in it. How we end up at the right place and the right time or the wrong place at the right moment. It all leads us to the deeper search with and the to the ultimate fulfillment of our destinies. Each moment, each second is an opportunity to create something, to change and evolve.

I have an aversion to mirrors. Not for reasons of vanity, but of utter confusion. Gazing into the reflection of my eyes, I see another being, another life. A life of love and beauty of unlimited possibility lies beyond the hazel coloring that the world sees. When can this mask be taken off and my true self revealed? How would I be viewed if I expressed the truth of who I am? And the bigger truth within that question is, who am I? The grand dilemma unfolds. Already my heart and soul is wrapped in a web of almost unbearable loneliness, would by revelation of my inner most truth further alienate me from a world that is foreign to me.

During my own incredible journey through this life I have experienced much sadness, hurt and longing. Yet I find comfort in those haunting memories. The pain compels me ever forward to search for the ultimate freedom. The light of my soul is like a candle in the dark, illuminating the path to liberation and understanding. Within the veins of who

I truly am flows light not blood. And my spiritual heart is larger than any physical vehicle could contain. The limitless love that flows through me longs to be shared with the world. Yet, I stay safe hiding in the shadows. But, something urges me on to come out of the shadows and step into the light. A beautiful voice whispers in my ear,Link, keep going,black uggs, hold on, you are almost there. The key to my own freedom and my own liberation is in fully embracing each moment. To have the courage to love, to allow the fullness of life support me.

To never forget the pleasures and always remember the pain. Metamorphosis happens in an instant, one magical second in time. To have the strength to take off my blindfold, to open myself to the magnificence of my own spiritual power. To take a risk, be daring and bold.

My heart overflows with love and the painful longing to reveal it. Yet how? How do I share myself with the world? How can I make a difference? I feel so small and limited at times, until I remember the light that pulses through my veins. Sometimes I am paralyzed at the complexity of my own thoughts. I stumble over myself, and the various aspects of who I am. I desire to be liberated from my own fears. Ironically, in the confusion I find great clarity. The possibility of discovering the secret to my own freedom is a powerful elixir. To overcome that which binds me in my own self created prison. To spout my angelic wings once again and fly to the sun, but unlike Icarus, my wings will not melt. They will be forged with strength and sturdiness built with precision and forethought, allowing me to fly to great heights in complete safety.

Like a raw diamond I am being honed and cut by spirit, with the intention of revealing the brilliance of each facet. The finer the cuts, the more fully the spectrum of light will dance upon the surface.

Each night I cry for freedom, for change. For my soul eyes to see the truth, no longer clouded by own self imposed limitations. When the shadows begin to descend upon me, I welcome them. For in the embrace of the darkness I more clearly see the light,click here.

Three men, Paul, Sam and Ted stayed in a small hotel. They all follow a habit each time they go out – Paul always carries an umbrella with him, Sam always carries a walking stick with him whereas Ted always carries nothing along,timberland uk.

One morning, the sky became overcast signifying a storm ahead. However, they still went out, following their usual habit. Indeed, it started raining soon after. As before, they returned to the hotel at around the same time, around 10 p.m. at night.

The hotel owner noticed something and couldn’t help but asked, ‘Pardon me but I’m really puzzled. Why is Mr. Paul who has an umbrella with him all drenched? Why did Mr. Sam who has a walking stick with him fall in the mud (he saw mud all over him)? And why is Mr. Ted who carries nothing with him totally dry and safe? Could someone explain please? Paul said, ‘Having an umbrella with me drove me on my journey even though it was raining. But the rain got really heavy with very strong wind blowing. My umbrella wasn’t that big, you see. That was how I got wet!’ Sam said, ‘I had no umbrella with me so I stopped to take shelter when it started raining. When the rain finally stopped, I carried on with my journey. That’s why I’m dry. I have a walking stick with me. Thinking that it should prevent me from falling down, I took a shorter path back over the hill. Unfortunately, the wet pathway still caused me to fall a few times.’ Ted said, smiling, ‘I didn’t have a walking stick so I could only walk along the big roads and I walked really carefully. No falling down for sure! I had no umbrella so I could only take shelter somewhere when it rained. Not wet at all for sure! Nothing is special actually.’

The hotel owner thought for a long while and finally said, ‘Looks like the one who has no advantage turned out to have the most advantage!’ The three men looked at one another and laughed.

We constantly remind ourselves of our weaknesses whereas we are usually not so careful about our strength. An advantage that attracts envy eyes may lead to a disadvantage if it is not fully or carefully made used of, leading even to failure. We may have some shortcoming or disadvantage. But making good use of it can turn it into your strength and advantage. Stop all negative thinking now!
