In life we search for life partners, friends, twin flames, soul mates, the one; not realizing that you are your longest commitment. 

You are the only confirmed guest at you're birth and death - both events. 

We focus so much on what's outside of ourselves without realizing, it all starts with self. 

We will love people make commitments and agreements to others, of course; but those relationships come after your greatest commitment which is you/self. 

Is this selfish, self-centered, narcissistic even? I don't believe so, but what do I mean?

Consider this scripture: 'love your neighbor as yourself' (Mark 12:31)

Have you heard that one before?

I've come to the understanding that this scripture is meant as instructions to love and love well ourselves. 

If we love ourselves really, really well then in turn that will spread outside ourselves, i.e. the neighbor, friend, lover, humanity. 

If we love this_____person as ourselves. 

This can only happen when you love yourself first and best: You are your longest commitment. 

We are so powerful. 

We constantly underestimate our power and will. Although there is something running in the background, let's call it our programs, i.e. habits, rituals, beliefs and history. 

So much goes into the brew that is you, and still we have power over these programs. We can change, re-write, and reboot. 

Today discover your programs and exercise your power. 

Late night contemplation. What are you afraid of? 

Do your fears own or define you? 

We all make mistakes and errors happen. What's the difference, does it matter?

Mistakes: an action or judgement that is misguided or wrong. 

Error: Mistake

They mean exactly the same. I thought they were some how different and essentially they are two words that indicate: you need to do better somehow.  We've inflicted a wrong, pain or injury to others or ourselves. 

They carry a weight and responsibility. When they are committed the effects ripple like a drop in a pond.  

What does this mean? We should learn from them and file them away. 

We aren't defined by them, but we have a responsibility to them and our victims of error. Today we will briefly explore the idea of making mistakes, forgiveness and responsibility. 

Be responsible. 

A contract: written or spoken agreement, especially one concerning employment, sales, or tenancy, that is intended to be enforceable by law (noun) and enter into a formal and legally binding agreement(verb).

This episode explores the idea of the many contracts we have with ourselves, arguably the most important contracts. Little decisions we make every day that reinforce and bind us to these agreements with ourselves. 

What are your contracts?

When people consider happiness they think of it as a place you arrive after you have...fill in the blank(s).  

Once you have the job, money, clothes, lose weight, find the person to spend your life with, etc. 

In the material world happiness is associated with an object that you can obtain, collect or possess. 

I think happiness is something we already possess. 

We already own it, or it owns us. We have to dial into it. 

I believe possessions can create an idea that only "certain" people can be happy if they have "certain" things. 

Where I am suggesting we can all be happy, if we choose to manifest what is already within ourselves. 

How much of who we are is the product of opinions and ideas of those whom we surround ourselves? Have a you ever considered you are the product of other people's thoughts and approval.

This episode pokes the bear, who are you, really?

We have three accounts in our life that are important Physical, Fiscal and Spiritual. We are responsible for what fills these accounts.  Do you ever just want to quit, like f*ck it?  Do you ever wake up and feel like, I'm empty, I'm done? Well you are not? YOU ARE NOT EMPTY.
