Happy Monday!!! 28:10:13

Happy Monday!!! It is funny how we always say we are looking for signs, when infact we see only what we are looking for.You will find what you are looking for So, if you are looking for reasons why you aren't enough - you'll most likely find them. If you look for reasons why you should quit - there are plenty of them there. If you look for reasons why it's not working out - yup, you guessed it - that's there, too. But, just because you find the evidence, this doesn't mean it's actually true. It just means you found something "out there" that, based on the meaning that you are giving events and circumstances, correlates with something you are looking for. The power here is that the MEANING we give the events of our lives is what controls the outcome - far greater than circumstance. seek and ye shall find. So, if that is true, we better be damned careful what we are looking for. At our core, all of us are beautiful, perfect, infinite and Loving Souls. Wrapped around that amazing Soul is a bunch of stories and meanings that we have created - consciously or unconsciously - over time. And when we make things mean a certain thing, we will surely find it. If we believe that relationships = pain, we'll find it. If we think men or women = assholes, we'll find it. If we think that no one loves us, we'll find it. If we think that every problem is an opportunity to grow, we'll find it. If we think that a delay is not a denial, we'll find it. If we think that love does not exist then you will find that. If we think that we are more powerful than our circumstances, we'll find it. If we think that God provides in perfect time, we'll find it. This isn't to say that if you think positive, it will all work out. Positive thinking is 1/3 of the equation. There is good reason for negative and neutral thinking, too. I'm not talking about being a Pollyanna and thinking that everything is fine. Sometimes we have crisis in our lives - but the MEANING we GIVE the crisis is everything. Is this a breakdown or a breakthrough? Shit happens, but it's what you do about it that matters. Instead of reacting, let us respond. Responsibility is the ability to respond. This means that we have the power to choose to respond in an empowered way to our circumstances, rather than just look for reasons why we are wrong, why we are not good enough or why we should quit. If you look for problems, you'll find problems; but if you look for GRACE - you'll see that Grace walks with you at every step of the way..Through God!

Happy Sunday!! 29:09:2013

Happy Sunday!! If you're looking for a truly Loving relationship, it is very difficult to be in a relationship with someone who isn't on the path to self-love. We don't have to love ourselves perfectly to find awesome love, but we have to be on the path to self-love. This also means that whomever we choose to be in a relationship with should be on that path, too.There will never be a perfect moment where we love ourselves perfectly and then we can be in a relationship. It's a constant process of discovery with no end. But for a relationship to thrive and for intimacy to emerge, each person must be dedicated to growth; otherwise, you will hit a wall. A huge revelation for me recently has been that nobody, including myself, is perfect. It sounds obvious when I write it, but for many years I would meet people and project this expectation of perfection on to them. And I would get mad, angry and hurt when they wouldn't meet that expectation. So, I've recently decided that from the beginning of any relationships I start, that I want to acknowledge my own imperfection as well as the imperfection of the other person and consciously choose to enter into a relationship not seeking perfection, but rather loving each other's imperfections. And instead of looking to the other person to meet all our needs perfectly, to take our eyes off of ourselves and put them on God.I believe that the only perfect Love is the Love of God. We are constantly nurtured by it: with oxygen, with sun, with community and with free will. We are fully supported in this life by God. It is the thoughts of lack, of fear and of neediness that make us feel as if we are not. When we remember this, we can remember our true essence and start to be at peace. When we realize that the only perfect love is the Love of God, we can no longer have the insane expectations that other people are perfect and expect perfect love from them.We then step into the reality of imperfection that is the human condition. This is a humble place and it is from this humble place that we acknowledge that we need to grow, to work on ourselves and to walk the Path of self-love. To be in relationship with someone who isn't on this path makes Love very difficult. So make it easy for them and start loving and accepting yourself.

Happy Sunday! You know what? One of the greatest obstacles to our growth is pride. The need to be right is one of the largest blocks to Love, to Growth and to intimacy.This need is based in fear and is of the ego. The key to happiness is "not minding what happens."This isn't to say that we shouldn't care or that we should be lazy. On the contrary, this is a call to care, to give it our all, but to surrender the outcome.Our pride wants us to be right. Our pride wants us to be first.Our pride cannot admit when we're wrong. Our pride is terrified of opening up and loving. Our pride loves to be in control.If we instead look at life, not from a place of lack that requires us to control our limited resources, but as a journey into dissolving our fears, we can let go. And not mind what happens.We can detach from the outcome. We cannot take insults personally. We cannot let how much money we do or do not have define us. We cannot let success define us. We can let go of the need of the approval of other people. When we don't mind what happens, we can step into simply being ourselves and sharing.We can detach from the fearful need to be right and instead step into an intention and the action of sharing. We begin to value growth over protection of our beliefs. We are now willing to drop a belief when we come across a deeper truth. I met someone who has decided not to open his heart to love again and that is total BS and unfairness in my opinion. You cannot just decided not to love because you have been heartbroken…Love anyway and detach from the outcome. You cannot live in fear.We should see the value in not needing to defend our position, but understand our fellow Seekers and share from a place of feeling, rather than report from a place of judgment.We are being called to grow here on earth and we cannot afford to stunt it cos of other humans. We are asking for insight, so we must be willing to admit when we are wrong and flow with the lessons of The World. Let us see ourselves as being sharpened so that we may cut through the B/S of life. Have a blessed and fulfilled week ahead..Maamamia xx Ps: Don’t you just love this beautiful mango tote bag? Check us out on www.miasboutique.co.uk

Happy Sunday!!! 25:08:13

Happy Sunday!! I think we need to stop and think about the reasons why we do what we do when we do them. It is not right to live our lives letting everyone else dictate to us on what to do to make them happy and not God or even ourselves. We need to realize that in other to be a God pleaser we cannot be a self-pleaser or a people pleaser. Everybody wants to have an opinion about what you should do…..I can’t just do what everybody wants me to do and please them because most times I’m not even pleasing God as a result. We need to live a life that is pleasing to God. Healthy people know they have faults and don’t feel like they have them, you don’t have to pretend to be perfect especially when speaking to sick people. Everybody has got stuff wrong with them but nobody wants anybody to know….I believe that we need to not only need to know who we are in Christ, we also need to know our weaknesses and admit them and know that we need eachother in life. We also need to be careful with our hearts and how much expectation we have.If you have got ur expectation in God, even when someone isn’t treating you right, you trust that God will take you out of it and not keep a grudge that could likely take you to hell. Sometimes we expect so much from people and when they let us down as humans we get heartbroken. Im not saying don’t trust anyone but give humans some slack and lay it down to God. When you trust God 100% you won’t have trust issues with humans. No one owes you anything, we are all bound to sin..struggling with the good and the bad….give all your trust to God and He will take care of you. I care most about what God thinks and not what humans think. No matter what you do if someone wants to think bad about you, they will. Cos if it’s not one thing, its another. Cos no matter how good you do there will always be one thing you lack. Why will God leave us with one thing we lack cos He wants us to need eachother. No man is an island and God made us all to help each other. We need to do goodworks with the right motive, we need to do what we do as unto the Lord desiring to please Him and we should not do anything to please people. We need to learn to hear from God for ourselves than always asking people all the time too. Cos not everyone has been gifted to hear from God and definitely not on your behalf.There are so many right things we do for the wrong reasons. For example some of us go to church every Sunday and its not for God. I want to do everything I do in honour of the Lord, eat,drink,go out, sleep, die…everything I do I want to do all I do in honour of the Lord and as my friend I want you to do same too. I belong to God and I’m suppose to live for Him and if what im doing is not to His glory then I rather not do it right? I cannot stress about how important it is to please God and not man….Alot of the times you wont be able to please people and God at the same time, its better for man to be displeased with you than God.Sometimes we do things cos we’re hoping to be well thought of. Even in prayer, some people pray out loud not for God but for people to hear and sometimes God will ask “ child are you talking to me or them” seriously we need to get our motive right and we will live a better life on earth. We need to fight the flesh more than we are fighting now,that is the essense of fasting….less of the flesh and more of the Spirit cos whether we like it or not our flesh is tough and more that 80% of the time we want to do what the flesh wants. It doesn’t make any sense the things we do sometimes just to keep people happy. So we have to think about why we do what we do. Have a blessed week ahead and remember to do all that you do for God.

Happy Sunday!! 4:8:13

Happy Sunday!!Have u ever felt like exploding? You know like those moments when you really put yourself on the line. When you really feel stressed out or pushed beyond your limits and think you might have gone too far or taken on too much. I always hate situations like this and I try to do everything to avoid it.But soon I realized that it helps me grow…being pushed to the wall helps us grow. Its those moments of being uncomfortable and being uneasy that defines us. We all don’t like to be pushed to the wall, we don’t like to get uncomfortable, we don’t like to put ourselves on the line-and yet-it is exactly these things that help us grow, be happy, have purpose and find fulfillment.The only way you can truly be happy,the only way we can truly find fulfillment is to grow because progress is happiness. Its not even about the end goal most of the time, its about making progress towards that goal that makes us come alive.When we look at the things in our life that our heart desires, we tend to choose the seemingly safe route and then justify why we cant have what we want. But really if we could just find the faith to face uncertainty, to step out and try new things and then learn from our mistakes-life would definitely change. I have learnt to embrace challenges as a natural part of life and a required part of living at my highest potential. Now when I am pushed, I don’t stop, I keep going and I know that the pressure being on is a great thing, it means I am putting my life on the line for something I believe in and there is no greater act of faith than really putting yourself out there for those that you believe in.God has never failed me even tho it looks that way attimes, but I know He hasn’t, my faith in Him has kept me going and I am sure without an iota of doubt that I will fulfil purpose on this earth regardless of the setbacks and I want you to feel the same way too. Have a blessed week ahead..Maamamia

Happy Sunday!! 28:07:13

Happy Sunday!! Its really heartbreaking when i see or hear people settling for the first thing that comes along.Settling is a symptom of lack of faith. We are the co-creators of our lives, which means we, in agreement with God, can consciously design what kind of life we want to live. If we consciously design our lives, then why take a job that makes you feel miserable? Why enter a relationship with someone who doesn't value and cherish you? Why tolerate undesirable circumstances? God doesn't award points for unnecessary suffering or low self-esteem. We are Loved by God no matter what, but we were born to live a fulfilled life.This cannot happen if we settle. If you need money and don't have enough to live your own dream, then you may have to get a job you don't love, but you have the choice to choose the circumstances. You can design your life to make money and express yourself. You can also choose to see challenging job circumstances as opportunities to grow and be grateful for the contrast of not getting what you want, so you can design what you do want.U get?Since you are the co-creator of your circumstances and how you respond to them, you get to actively choose what you do with your free time, how you interpret the events of your life and what your final goal is. A dead end job isn't dead end if it’s helping pay your bills while you construct your masterpiece. Annoying coworkers aren't annoying if you can see them as helping teach you love, self-love,patience and acceptance.Regarding dating, we all date at the level of our self-esteem like i ALWAYS say. So if you're not getting what you truly desire from your relationship, look into the true motives about why you choose who you choose.Having high standards and not settling requires us to spend more time with and on ourselves, becoming the people it takes to create the life of our dreams. We don't allow fearful or manipulative people, places and circumstances to dictate our outcome. We'd rather walk alone than with someone who drains us.You have the same 24 hours in your day as everyone else. You have the same opportunity to apply an empowering and loving meaning to the events and circumstances of your life. You have the opportunity to raise your self-esteem and date at the level of love and vulnerability rather than fear and manipulation. You have the power to enjoy your experience regardless of circumstances. It is well  have a blessed week ahead. Maamamia xx PS: Please join us as we try to make a difference .

Happy Sunday!! 21:07:13

Happy Sunday...Love is complete.Your friends,family,spouses don't "complete you" your relationships should be a reflection of you.Be whole, not a half.So many people run around looking for someone "to complete them." But the thing is, everyone is fallible, so no one can complete you and ever live up to your expectations. That is why it is so important to keep our eyes on God and His Love for us. The Love of God never changes. Other people change, other people mess up, but God is constantly on our side, Loving us and showing us how we can grow even closer to happiness and Love.Our aim should be to not seek and chase for Love, but to BE IT. This means self-love first. True Love isn't setting HUGE expectations on someone else that they always make you happy and fulfilled.True Love is being so full of self-love and the Love of God that you have more than enough Love to hold your own darkness and light and the darkness and light of the other people.Looking for someone to complete you is to deny your innate potential to be an already full and integrated human-being. You are giving someone else a power that only you have.Also, making someone else the source of your fulfilment means that if they are not having a good day, acting in integrity or desiring to grow, then you are also doing the same. It's a giant anchor holding you down.In relationships, we either grow together or we grow apart like I have grown apart from someone in my life recently. God is constantly guiding us to greater and greater awareness of ourselves and as a result our Highest Potential. Relationships are containers for growth, not containers for proving how much pain you can endure for someone else.When we make someone else the only thing that completes us, we can easily blame them, but the blame belongs on us for giving them that power in the first place.Let's take our power back and take our eyes off of ourselves and our partners and friends and remember the Source from which we came and which we are all a part of right now. We are a drop of water coming home to the beautiful ocean from which we came. In doing so, we can merge into a wave and do far more connected to this Source than we ever could do alone or with another person. Have a blessed week ahead and read this message again. Maamamia xxx
