Everyone has an angel, a guardian who watches over us. We can’t know what form they’ll take: One day old man. Next day, little girl. But don’t let appearances fool you. They can be as fierce as any dragon. Yet they’re not here to fight our battles, but to whisper from our heart, reminding us it is us, it’s everyone of us who holds the power over the worlds we create. We can deny our angels exist, convince ourselves they can’t be real. But they show up anyway, at strange places, and at strange times. They can speak through any character we can imagine. They’ll shout through demons if they have to, daring us, challenging us to fight.

If you were to cut open a chrysalis as the butterfly develops, you might expect to find a partly formed butterfly inside. But this isn’t the case. Inside is an unrecognizable “mush” – the gray protoplasm that will reconstruct itself and ultimately emerge as a butterfly. This ugly sticky stuff has all the elements necessary to create great beauty. It just takes time. We need to decide that it’s okay for us to be in this unsure, uncomfortable place. In fact, most of the time it’s exactly where we need to be. It is a necessary period of growth in the achievement of any significant, life-altering change. Step into the mush.

Text taken from the book ~ How We Choose to Be Happy by Rick Foster & Greg Hicks
We must fight for peace. War is not the answer. The people do not want war so why do we allow our “leaders” to drag us into war continually? Enough is enough. And we must continue to stand up and say so.
“I know of only one duty, and that is to love.” Albert Camus
Love is the answer.
In what is possibly an infinite Universe, it is impossible to know if you have all the facts. So if you want the truth, you must always remain open to new information, even if it contradicts the current model/consensus. That doesn’t mean you have to believe one way or the other, it just means not dismissing anything because it doesn’t fit with what you think you know. Science is not a static thing in its own right, but a method of discovery in which the accepted model is always open to re-evaluation.

“Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.” ~Life’s Little Instruction Book
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain
“This is where we are at right now, as a whole. No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions. A world where greed is our God and wisdom is sin, where division is key and unity is fantasy, where the ego-driven cleverness of the mind is praised, rather than the intelligence of the heart.” ~ Bill Hicks
War is over… if you want it.
Let’s start demanding it. What could be more important than WORLD PEACE?
You are beautiful.
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
