Quote Left For sure, we can overwork things, and ourselves...when painting, an important mastery of art is to sense when to stop. I do...but like you am seldom certain. Once risen above the self, it is such a daunting responsibility knowing all that we do also represent elements of God. Quote Right
Quote Left Maybe results are not as important as trying...I think, hope, that is the way God looks at us. Quote Right
Quote Left Poetry is similar to painting: learning when to put down a brush is just as important as the reason for picking one up. Quote Right

Quote Left Don't cry for the support of people, Because if you are right, Good will support you. Quote Right
Quote Left Trying to make a poem successful by having it express important moral truths is cheating and, what’s worse, won’t work. Quote Right
Quote Left The last bastion of matrixed life is family. We must remember that family exists for support & learning. It is impossible for family to offer unconditional love because unconditional love does not aid family stability, it usurps it for human evolution sake. In simple terms, family is defined by blood. Family is not defined by soul energy. Soul energy can only be held by Pure Consciousness ie. Godforce. Quote Right
Quote Left Write your eulogy with your behavior. Do not leave your legacy to chance or opportunity. But, rather, make intentionality your watchword, and integrity your standard. Be the change you want to see… in yourself. Take pride in your accomplishment. Don't disparage it as your failure. Quote Right
Quote Left “Remembering is one of the most important concepts of the New Age. This is because we need to REMEMBER the cycles of Dark and Light to know what to do as we Awaken to ALL THAT IS.” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right

Quote Left BEING A PROCRASTINATOR DOES NOT OFFER YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO POSTPONE THE DAY YOU DIE Quote Right
Quote Left "Be polite and professional, but stand up for yourself when necessary - default to courtesy while avoiding passivity that enables disrespect. Take the high road, yet address harmful behavior directly and politely, saying 'please don't speak to me that way' or 'those remarks were hurtful and unjustified.' Assume good intent initially, but be firm and fair in establishing your boundaries. Give others the opportunity to recognize and adjust their conduct, promoting mutual respect." Quote Right
Quote Left "When faced with disrespect, avoid excessive gossip or complaining, as it can reinforce negativity and victimhood. Instead, share incidents with trusted confidants who offer healthy support and perspective. Pause before venting, and consider if it's truly serving your growth or just spreading toxicity. Shift your focus to constructive action, and frame experiences as opportunities to demonstrate virtues like forgiveness." Quote Right
Quote Left "When faced with criticism or disrespect, pause and review the feedback rationally, setting aside emotions. Ask yourself if there's truth to the words, and consider whether there's room for improvement or virtues to cultivate. Even if the delivery is harsh, be open to the usefulness of the message. By handling feedback thoughtfully, you can separate the valuable insights from the negativity and use them as opportunities for growth." Quote Right
Quote Left "You can't please everyone, and that's okay. Some people will dislike you due to differences in values, worldviews, and experiences. Instead of trying to control others' opinions, focus on being true to yourself. Reflect on feedback mindfully, and use it as an opportunity to grow, but don't take every criticism personally. By accepting that some things are beyond your control, you'll find peace and confidence in being yourself." Quote Right
Quote Left Contests are contests against another version of yourself as what seems to be another, is merely another reflection of Self since all selves are separates constituting One Whole. The Whole becomes more and more harmonious as we dish shadowed portions out of the subconscious into the light to be integrated. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
