I recently saw a woman get out of her car, take off her shoes, and head over to another car like she was ready to throw down. Another time, someone shared a rude comment another person made about them, and it sparked an angry response. It's crazy how the news is packed with stories of people reacting instead of acting, and then they end up facing the fallout.

Something is always happening, and someone is always saying something. When we feel offended, our instinct is often to retaliate and get back at the other person. So, we use our own life force to punish someone else. When we do, we're wasting our energy and our time.

A lot of the time, these reactions come from our egos, inner struggles, and negative feelings. In psychology, we call this "explosive behavior disorder." Instead of working through the conflict, we end up having a huge outburst that just wears us out. We let other people control us. When we choose to engage in conflict or act in a hostile way, we're wasting our energy, time, and life.

No matter how justified we believe we are, engaging in a fight ultimately costs us energy, and sometimes our lives. Buddha teaches that preserving our energy rather than wasting it in conflict makes us stronger.

Avoid wasting your energy. Instead of reacting, getting mad, or becoming hostile, become aware of them. Where do these negative emotions originate?

Learn to relax, to meditate. Tension, anxiety, and unconscious living sap your energy. Meditation helps gather your energy naturally instead of letting it leak away.

Be creative. Whether you draw, write, sing, sew, or garden, channel your energy into something constructive rather than using it for retaliation. Why waste your energy?

A lot of people are just wasting their time and energy—don’t be one of them! Avoid getting caught up in stuff that doesn’t matter, like revenge, anger, or pointless fights. Find a daily practice that transforms you. Remember, your energy is super valuable—it’s a precious gem!

So often, we talk about what we don't have. We forget to cherish what we have. When we become consumed by what has not happened yet or what did not arrive when we expected, our hearts grow restless. We start to take things for granted and end up being negative, sarcastic, and cynical.

Gratitude is more than a passing thought—it is a way of seeing life. With gratitude, we gently turn back toward the goodness that surrounds us. Are you grateful?

While we often say we are thankful, we rarely hear, "I'm grateful." Thankfulness and gratitude are not the same. Both express appreciation, but thankfulness is often a momentary response to a blessing or relief. Gratitude, by contrast, runs deeper. It's a lasting awareness of the good that has been poured into our lives. Look at the good in your life…Be human-be grateful.

Did you know you can be thankful without truly being grateful? Thankfulness arises in response to a single situation. But gratitude is a deeper, lasting spirit of appreciation. Gratitude anchors us to the people, blessings, and greater presence that sustain our lives.

Pause for a moment. Look within and around you. There is so much in your life to be grateful for. When you reflect on all that could have been, you begin to see how much mercy, strength, and blessing have carried you this far.

So many of us, because of social media, movies, overthinking, and emotions, forget to be grateful. We take people and the gifts in life for granted. We become arrogant. Only when our hearts open do we feel the presence of a higher power. No longer are we angry. We become grateful.

Research shows that being grateful actually helps calm your body by lowering cortisol, which is the main stress hormone. Some studies say it can drop by as much as 23%, making things easier on your heart and immune system, and allowing for more peace in your life.

What are you grateful for? I appreciate the wonderful spirits who have entered my life... Gratitude has the power to transform us from the inside out. When we choose to live with gratitude, we make room for joy. Gratitude awakens when we realize a presence greater than ourselves. Say, "I'm grateful."

How do you act around others? Did you know that all of our interactions are directed by our personality? And so, when we meet people, watch entertainers, and listen to politicians, we’re engaging their personality, their false self? We even marry and divorce personalities.

The word“personality” comes from “persona,” meaning “mask.” In daily life, we don't wear just one mask but many. As we go through life, we often present one face to one person and another face to someone else.

Our personalities come from the influences of our parents, teachers, and the culture around us. Early in life, at some point, we act in ways that attract approval rather than rejection, to ward off beatings or criticism, to succeed, and to function in society.

I grew up with someone who claimed to be a perfectionist and thus was quite harsh. I often heard what I couldn't do rather than what I could. How we're raised shapes our personality.

Our personality is made up of different roles we play. We want to fit in, please others, get what we want, or seem cool. These roles are often passed down from generation to generation.

Our personality is unnatural. It's a mask that cannot grow because it has no life of its own. It is something borrowed from society rather than something authentic to us.

So, who am I? Who are you? It is not an easy question to answer because most of us have spent years wearing so many false masks. Although we are born authentic, we become fake.

Only our true selves can grow. The first step is realizing how much of our behavior is a performance. Question the performance and the expectations others have imposed on us.

Be authentic—be yourself. To do that, start with tuning inward. Embrace the present moment and truly live in it.

Heal! When we heal, we free ourselves from the urge to prove something, the need to be right, and the desire to wear a mask. Instead of hiding behind facades, journey towards wholeness. Discover your true self.

Know yourself-Be yourself!

Does an apple compare itself to an orange? What about a cat comparing itself to a dog? Yet, we’re constantly comparing ourselves to one another. We compare our situations in life. We’re a walking comparison. We are trying to look like someone else rather than being ourselves. We imitate. Just look around, whether it's false eyelashes, tattoos, spandex, hair coloring, ripped jeans, baggy pants, weighted running….

It's all because of our conditioning that we compare ourselves. Who has heard, "How come you can't be like this person?" It starts early. Somebody else looks different, has a better car or house, somebody else has more money, somebody else travels more... we compare.

Comparison is a disease. It's poison. It destroys us. Although it is foolish, we mindlessly participate in this practice.

With comparison comes jealousy, phoniness, anxiety, bitterness, sickness, and blind ambition. It drives us to an early grave. We live in hell.

Social media is full of comparisons. Where folks sound alike, act the same way, and pretend. What we like sometimes is merely comparison, not uniqueness.

We often find ourselves comparing our lives to others because we've neglected to let our own creative energies flow. We haven't nurtured our joy or allowed our true selves to blossom. This leaves us feeling empty, depressed, and deenergized. That's because we're imitating what everyone else is doing on the outside—after all, that's what we can see.

But let’s be honest: comparison is a trap. It’s foolish. Each of us is a unique creation; there are no copies in the eyes of the Divine. Celebrate your uniqueness!

Give yourself a precious gift of being you. Every human being is completely unique. Say yes to self-love. That's right, love yourself. Watch a lot of your mental turmoils dissolve. Respect yourself. Be yourself. Stop being a clone. Never compare. It is critical to live a life of peace and joy. Àse is unique....

When reality does not match our expectations, we become upset. Think about it for a second. This is about true reality, not the illusions we create in our minds. Accepting our reality is critical to prevent suffering.

But what are these expectations? How often are we in a bad mood because of them? Or throw a tantrum because of expectations. Suffering stems directly from our expectations. When we hold expectations, we attach certain requirements to people and situations. At that point, we stop seeing life as it truly is. Instead, we focus on an uncertain future, which leads to frustration. Expectations are hefty burdens that obstruct our peace.

Releasing the desire to control outcomes or to gain something in return opens the door to true freedom. Think about your life, your relationships, your upbringing... Your limitations are not due to the experiences but the expectations.

What are you expecting in this moment? Are you hoping for a call from someone, a job opportunity, more likes on social media, a promotion, a financial boost, or waiting for someone to marry you? People go to college and expect to take make a lot of money> We can easily spend years longing for others to connect, reply to our messages, or meet our expectations, which frequently brings unnecessary pain.

Instead of expecting, we should simply wait, which has the power to transform us. By dropping our expectations, we enjoy life more fully. If we don’t expect, we won’t experience frustration. Letting go of the need to control outcomes or expect something in return is crucial for freedom, peace, and happiness. No expectations: Live, Beloved, Live: Wellness Begins Inside

Got a job? It’s basically what we do for a company or someone and get paid for it. Some say it stands for just over broke. There are about 3.6 billion people with jobs around the globe. And in the US, around 9.3 million people have more than one job at the same time.

Over a lifetime, the average American switches jobs about 12 times, sticking with one employer for roughly 4.3 years. We job hop to increase our salary, escape toxic work cultures, or secure better career growth. All the while complaining...

Is that all there is to life? Job switching? Do you enjoy doing it? Are you practicing a just-over-broke existence? Or fulfilling meaningful work? From the age we can work, some even younger, it's all about doing something to get paid. We want to buy stuff. Our life becomes a job hustle that is repeated over and over.

Meanwhile, we're becoming drained. Some even sick and miserable. What do you do when you're not at your job? Some people don't know what they're doing if they're not at their job. This is a sign that you are disconnected from yourself!

That's because you are not connected to your natural potential. And that can only happen through self-discovery, self-realization, and love. What is it that you truly love? We're all designed for a specific role in life, our own purpose. It's because of our conditioning that finding it seems impossible.

But it's possible. First, we must understand ourselves. In your heart, what do you have a passion for? This is not about work. Because work is a vital part of our transformation.

Its purpose. To do that requires positivity amid the challenges and uncertainties in life. It's then that we realize that our experiences are leading us to something better. Discover yourself! What do you enjoy? Choose happiness.

Love Yourself

Are you driven by your ego, or are you a narcissist? Has anyone ever called you a narcissist? Do you understand the difference? Nowadays, the term narcissism is often used, but what do these conditions actually mean?

It's all fake. The ego is not our true self; rather, it's our false self. In contrast with narcissism, we become infatuated with a reflection of ourselves rather than our authentic selves. This is because we don't know who we truly are. And so the ego emerges.

Many of us encounter egos in our relationships. The ego can be a source of turmoil. Both ego and narcissism involve comparing ourselves to others and mimicking their behavior. However, as we discover our true selves, the influence of the ego begins to diminish.

When we learn to love and accept ourselves, egotism and narcissism start to fade away. Unfortunately, many of us have lost our sense of self-love. Only by embracing self-love can we genuinely love others.

Loving and accepting yourself goes hand in hand. Take some time to embrace your true self. Let go of the posturing, pretending, and profiling. Discover who you are?

Here's to your creativity...

A Blue Moon is a powerful occurrence that invites us to embrace transformation. Also, to venture beyond our comfort zones. Occurring just once every two to three years, it’s the inspiration behind the saying "once in a blue moon."

This Blue Moon presents an extraordinary opportunity for us to set intentions, release negativity, and attract abundance into our lives. We are still in the Blue Moon energy...

What are you going to do with this power? Give it away, waste it, or take advantage of it?

Don’t let this opportunity slip by! It’s the perfect time to create change. It's time to get up and get what you want in life.

Happy Full Blue Moon. Resist ignoring it. Let's be honest, our medical, educational, legal, and social systems are broken. We have to decide how we want to live. Stress or relax? Angry or peaceful? This rare full moon is super potent. It's spiritual. The Full moon embodies a deep sense of calm, peace, and awakening. This rare full moon is the second one in the month.

Become enlighten. Focus on cleaning up. Get rid of the junk in your place and in your head. Get rid of anything that doesn’t serve a purpose.

Use this time to meditate, as the lunar energy connects our mind and body for some serious reflection. Don’t keep going through life feeling unhealthy, stressed, and chaotic. Let go of the heartbreak, disappointments, and anything that doesn’t feel like love. Remember to value yourself.

Just take a moment to let your body relax, breath by breath. Inhale through your nose and notice how your lungs fill up—feel your belly rise. Then, smoothly exhale through your nose, letting your belly drop naturally as the air leaves your lungs. Just let it flow; let your breathing beat naturally in and out. Remember, healing is to be whole.
