"Did is a word of achievement,
Won't is a word of retreat,
Might is a word of bereavement,
Can't is a word of defeat,
Ought is a word of duty,
Try is a word each hour,
Will is a word of beauty,
Can is a word of power."

Excuses Are Simply No Excuse!

When you remove all that isn't love, then all that remains is love.

Many will give excuses why they cannot remove all that isn't love from their life and relationship...

But the fact is, for every excuse created to justify the reasons for failing, there is but one reason to succeed.

Excuses are simply no excuse, yet we make them, why?

We make excuses so we do not need to accept that which we know to be true.

If we were to accept that which we know to be true, then that would mean we have become truth itself. This in turn means that our life could no longer be a lie.

So why don't people just accept the truth they know and become truth itself?

Well, many are attached to the chaos in their life. Additionally, people don't want to let go of the chaos because it gains them sympathy from others. Sympathy is a nice distraction that ultimately allows one to avoid the truth they know to be true.

In other situations, people don't accept the truth they know because they are simply afraid of embracing love wholeheartedly.

As you progress through my guide you will gain further understanding as to why excuses are made.

One thing is for sure though, love definitely isn't about excuses.

So love your self and you will discover the reason to succeed.

Being Sure of Yourself

There are many times in our life when we easily begin to doubt ourselves and we must ask why?

When the mind is clear and you shoot the arrow, you will always hit the bulls eye.

When the mind is confused and you shoot the arrow, you miss the target completely.

Since a confused mind can only create confused answers, it is vitally important to clear the mind so one can see clearly. The interesting thing is that once the mind is clear, one never asks questions again because there is no need. When the mind is clear, you already know all the

So where does this confusion come from?

The simple answer is your ego.

The ego will do whatever it can to sabotage your happiness and love. The ego knows that once you are reunited with the love inside you, then there is no need for your ego. As a result, the ego is fighting for its survival. The ego does whatever it can to confuse you and make you unsure.

Once you are confused and unsure then you begin to make bad decisions resulting in pain and disappointment. This is of course what the ego wants for its own survival.

When one is at a level of peace and happiness that goes beyond any description, then there is no need for the ego. When at this point, you can only be sure of yourself because everything is clear.

If you find yourself confused and unsure of yourself then ask yourself why?

When you do this, you will discover that you already know the answer yet your ego is creating a smoke screen to hide the answer from you.

Clear the smoke screen by getting rid of all that you don't need. When you eliminate all that you don't need then all that remains is love.

When you accept that you need to eliminate all that you don't need, you will realize that what you don't need is your ego... and all the problems it causes.

Some may think that it is impossible to live without one's ego, but this is not true. You can live a fully functional and practical life without your ego but you will never know this until you do... and once you do, you will never want to leave the peace, happiness and love that flourishes in an ego free condition.

When there is love, you will always be sure of yourself.

Am I Possessive?

Being possessive is thought by many to be love, and in some few case, where the other has lost their self esteem, it appears to be for them also.

You can lose your loved one very quickly by being possessive because you choke them to death.

Have you ever been somewhere that is so hot you want to rip your clothes off? You can't wait to get cool. It is stifling. The sweat is pouring down you. You burn from inside. You want to scream - and then - ahhhh, yes - a cool lake swim. What bliss to get free of the heat.

Well that's exactly how the one you possess feels. You are stifling your partner and they cannot wait to fling you away.

People that possess, don't love. They just want to own. Like some antique art - something to admire. Something only they have... and no one else shall have it.

The possessive person has an illness also. It is the lack of their own beauty - their own perfection, thus they must own someone else. They must own someone else so they can reflect their own emptiness in them. Possessiveness is emptiness.

You must face up to these qualities in yourself so that you do not drive the person you love away.

Of course there are many other reasons, such as boredom, un-shared interests, and going in different directions, but these are all minor compared to the gross illness that one thinks is love.

So we now know that possessiveness is not love. It is grasping, stifling and suffocating. It is in fact just an ugly trait to have.

If you are possessive, you need to help yourself.

"GIVE" , "ACCEPT" , "HEART" & " SOUL".

To "Give" love is best. It nurtures the "Soul".
To "Accept" failure transcends the "Soul" to know humility and to move on.
The final recipe for the two ingredients above is content ness of the "HEART" and most importantly, "THE SOUL."

LONLINESS

Your loneliness is your Self-wanting to make friends with itself. Your loneliness is your HEART wanting to sing to it. Your loneliness is your BEING wanting to dance with it.
