Sitting at lunch earlier this week, I received an unsolicited but pretty deep bit of advice from an older man that came over and started up a (very one-sided) conversation with me. He had some great advice, though:

“Don’t wait to get married. Do it at least once in your life. The worst possible thing you can do in life is to never take a chance. The next worst thing is that you take a chance, and it doesn’t work out. Life happens! You move on. But the best thing you can do is to take a chance and it DOES work out. Take as many chances as you need, but it’s most important to be happy, and to not be alone.”

He went on to also say (for those of you who are in the market for some mini-me’s of your own): “I have three grown boys and they are my life. THAT is where the meaning of life is…having kids. Everything else that you think might mean something to you is bullshit. Really. Have kids, find someone that makes you happy, and if they don’t, find someone else that does. That’s my advice to you.”

Again…paraphrased, but the bit about taking chances really resonated with me. Thought I’d share.

“Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.”

- Christian D. Larsen

It's OK to Let Go

Tue, 09 Aug 2011 11:21:23 -0400

It’s okay to let go.

True Love is letting go. Freedom and free will are the by-products of Love.

So many of us lead our lives holding on so tightly that nothing new, nothing miraculous can find us.

We have been taught for a very long time that holding on is what makes us strong, is what Love is made of and is the best answer.

But we are stepping into a new paradigm. We are stepping into a time where growth and Love lead the way. This means we are constantly changing, evolving, dying and being reborn.

What must come first is our own spiritual growth. This means listening to our intuition, trusting our gut and expressing ourselves authentically without hiding.

Holding on to a broken relationship stunts our growth. You don’t get points from The Uni-verse for how much you suffer. The Uni-verse wants to deliver to you all that your heart desires.

Our relationships have been sent to teach us, to mold us and to shape us. When we seek Love, The Uni-verse sends us all kinds of relationships that bring to the surface all the blocks we have to Love.

We must learn to identify when the lesson is over. Relationships are containers for growth, not opportunities to suffer so we can prove how much we “love” someone. And a relationship isn’t full if both people aren’t in self-love and then sharing their love with each other from a place of overflow.

Some people are sent to us for quick lessons, some are sent to us for seasonal lessons and some are sent to us for a lesson we are to be taught over a lifetime.

Let us not try to learn and purify ourselves outside of Love, but instead invoke Love in our lives and recognize that the Love of The Uni-verse IS the purifier and the teacher. The face of Love may change, but the energy of Love of The Uni-verse never changes.

Let us no longer try to prove our Love by how much we can hold on to toxic situations and people, but rather by how much we are willing to let go once the lesson has been learned. There is no rulebook for this principle. This is something we must each learn individually and grow into.

The Uni-verse is setup so that we have free will to choose to connect to Love, or not. We must give ourselves this freedom as well as all the people in our lives.

For Love does not seek to control, but rather gives freedom.

Love,

Mastin

DELTA HEART - have the mind of a child

Tue, 09 Aug 2011 11:04:50 -0400

“What are we preparing to be ready for?”

The journey. When we meet the journey of life with a new mind, in every moment we begin to step into it’s magic. We begin to enjoy the journey instead of being terrified by it. When we have the mind of a child, we are humble and receptive to new information. We do not let our egos get the best of us, so that we can humbly follow guidance rather than thinking that we know it all. Having the mind of a child is the first step, but once we do, we have now properly mentally prepared ourselves for the journey. If we enter our journey with a tainted, jaded and cynical mindset, we will miss many opportunities and improperly label grace as disaster.
