To myself, raised in an environment that glorified and romanticized restriction and suffering:
There is no victory in skipping dinner, or lunch, or breakfast, or morning coffee, or dessert.
There is no victory in refusing heaters and air conditioners and fans and heated blankets.
There is no victory in denying yourself sleep, or showers, or movement, or water, or a comfortable bed, or taking the elevator vs. the stairs.
There is no victory in refusing pain meds and heating pads and ice packs and medical help.
There is no victory in punishing yourself needlessly, in telling yourself that this pain you feel is because you are bad to the core and deserve it.
There is no victory in choking back your laughter and your tears, to keep an imagined equilibrium of safety that is really just a dry, cracked, empty, endless emotional desert.
You are here. You are in this body, and this body is yours. You deserve good things. You are alive, and that is messy and loud, and messy and loud are okay.
It’s okay to live abundantly. It’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to indulge. This paralysis of self-punishment, self-restriction, self-loathing is not healthy or good for you.
“Don’t make her wait for you just because you know she will.”—
Wisdom from John Scotus Eriugena/Erigena (800 - 877):
Christ wears “two shoes” in the world: scripture and nature. Both are necessary to understand the Lord, and at no stage can creation be seen as a separation of things from God.
Observe the forms and beauties of sensible things and comprehend the Word of God in them. If you do so, the truth will reveal to you in all such things only He who made them.
No one enters heaven except through philosophy.
What, then, is it to treat of philosophy, unless to lay down the rules of the true religion by which we seek rationally and adore humbly God, who is the first and sovereign cause of all things? Hence it follows that the true philosophy is the true religion, and reciprocally that the true religion is the true philosophy.
When we are told that God is the maker of all things, we are simply to understand that God is in all things – that He is the substantial essence of all things.
Synthesizing as it does the philosophical accomplishments of fifteen centuries, this book appears as the final achievement of ancient philosophy.
All that is is light.

Wisdom from Dr. Joseph Murphy:
Busy your mind with the concepts of harmony, health, peace, and good will, and wonders will happen in your life.
Your desire is your prayer. Picture the fulfillment of your desire now and feel its reality and you will experience the joy of the answered.
As you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment.
You grow old when you lose interest in life, when you cease to dream, to hunger after new truths, and to search for new worlds to conquer. When your mind is open to new ideas, new interests, and when you raise the curtain and let in the sunshine and inspiration of new truths of life and the universe, you will be young and vital.
Every cell, nerve, tissue, and muscle of my lungs are now being made whole, pure, and perfect. My whole body is being restored to health and harmony.
Know that in your deeper mind are Infinite Intelligence and Infinite Power.
Remember, you are spiritually recharged during sleep, and adequate sleep is essential to produce joy and vitality in life.
If you have indulged in fear, worry, and other destructive forms of thinking, the remedy is to recognize the omnipotence of your subconscious mind and decree freedom, happiness, and perfect health. Your subconscious mind, being creative and one with your divine source, will proceed to create the freedom and happiness, which you have earnestly decreed.
Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. MARK 11:23.

Wisdom from Earl Nightengale:
One hour per day of study in your chosen field is all it takes. One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years. Within five years you’ll be a national authority. In seven years, you can be one of the best people in the world at what you do.
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
People don’t have great attitudes because of great success, they have great success largely because of great attitudes.
Successful people are dreamers who have found a dream too exciting, too important, to remain in the realm of fantasy. Day by day, hour by hour, they toil in the service of their dream until they can see it with their eyes and touch it with their hands.
Watch what everyone else does–do the opposite. The majority is always wrong.
Visualization is the human being’s vehicle to the future - good, bad, or indifferent. It’s strictly in our control.
If the average person realized the power he wields over his life and destiny, he would live in a perpetual state of wonder and thanksgiving.

Wisdom from Neville Goddard:
Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and observe the route that your attention follows.
Dare to believe in the reality of your assumption and watch the world play its part relative to its fulfillment.
An awakened imagination works with a purpose. It creates and conserves the desirable, and transforms or destroys the undesirable.
For life makes no mistakes and always gives man that which man first gives himself.
Man fails to do the works of Jesus Christ because he attempts to accomplish them from his present level of consciousness. You will never transcend your present accomplishments through sacrifice and struggle. Your present level of consciousness will only be transcended as you drop the present state and rise to a higher level. You rise to a higher level of consciousness by taking your attention away from your present limitations and placing it upon that which you desire to be. Do not attempt this in day-dreaming or wishful thinking but in a positive manner. Claim yourself to be the thing desired. I AM that; no sacrifice, no diet, no human tricks. All that is asked of you is to accept your desire. If you dare claim it, you will express it.
Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation.
To desire a state is to have it.

Never give up on anyone; this also includes not giving up on yourself!
It’s time to stop treating first dates, first kisses, and losing virginity as milestones or rites of passage that must be completed. It’s time to stop expecting these things to happen in everyone’s teen years or even in their twenties. It’s time to stop letting people call themselves “late bloomers” for getting their first kiss at 16. It’s stupid. It’s unnecessary. It’s damaging to people who for whatever reason it may be don’t have romantic prospects or don’t even want to do those things.
““Kings and lords come and go and leave nothing but statues in a desert, while a couple of young men tinkering in a workshop change the way the world works.””— Lord Havelock Vetinari, The Truth, Discworld book 25
there is
that feeling of heaviness,
like drowing in a river of frustration.
but at some point,
right now,
doesn’t life seems to be on pause.
far from the hustle and bustle,
finding in old books smell, the little walks you are allowed to have, seeing birds flying out in the sky, in that sunray kissing the face and the moon giving us company at night,
some peace to your restlessness?
“You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.”— Colleen Hoover, November 9
