Blessings

Reflecting on the times we succeeded in taking risks can give us the confidence we need to take chances in the present.
We have a wealth of blessings in our lives now that came about because we were willing to take a risk. Though we had no way of knowing how our risks would turn out, we used our knowledge and a measure of faith to move ahead into the unknown. In hindsight we can appreciate that our willingness led us to successful outcomes.

Recognizing Our Own Greatness

The Greatness In Others
A person who is said to possess greatness stands apart from others in some way, usually by the size or originality of their vision and their ability to manifest that vision. And yet those who recognize that greatness, whether they display it themselves or not, also have greatness within them; otherwise, they could not see it in another. In many ways, the achievements of one person always belong to many people for we accomplish nothing alone in this world. People who display greatness rely upon others who are able to see as they do, to listen, encourage, and support. Without those people who recognize greatness and move in to support it, even the greatest ideas, works of art, and political movements would remain unborn.

We are all moved by greatness when we see it, and although the experience is to some degree subjective, we know the feeling of it. When we encounter it, it is as if something in us stirs, awakens, and comes forth to meet what was inside us all along. When we respond to someone else’s greatness, we feed our own. We may feel called to dedicate ourselves to their vision, or we may be inspired to follow a path we forge ourselves. Either way, we cannot lose when we recognize that the greatness we see in others belongs also to us. Our recognition of this is a call to action that, if heeded, will inspire others to see in us the greatness they also possess. This creates a chain reaction of greatness unfolding itself endlessly into the future.


Ultimately, greatness is simply the best of what humanity has to offer. Greatness does what has not been done before and inspires the same courage that it requires. When we see it in others, we know it, and when we trust its presence in ourselves, we embody it.

Joy, Confidence and Abundance




To ensure that your altruistic spirit remains as intense as ever, try to focus on the joy, confidence, and abundance you are no doubt helping others to attain.

If you frequently remind yourself of the importance of small gestures of compassion, you will likely never tire of charitable work.

Lagoa de Sto. André

"O Sucesso está no Equilíbrio"

Levante-se com o Sol para orar.

Ore sozinho.

Ore com frequência.

O Grande Espírito o escutará se você, ao menos, falar.
Seja tolerante com aqueles que estão perdidos no caminho.

A ignorância, o convencimento, a raiva,
o ciúme e a avareza originam
de uma alma perdida.
Ore para que eles
encontrem o caminho do Grande Espírito .

Procure conhecer-se, a si próprio.
Não permita que outros façam o caminho por si.
É sua estrada e somente sua.
Outros podem andar ao seu lado, mas
ninguém pode andar por Si.

Trate os convidados em seu lar com muita consideração.
Sirva-os o melhor alimento, a melhor cama e trate-os com respeito e honra.
Não queira o que não é seu.
Seja de uma pessoa, da comunidade, da natureza ou da cultura.
Se não foi ganho nem foi dado, não é seu
Respeite todas as coisas que foram colocadas na Terra.
Sejam elas pessoas, plantas ou animais.

Respeite os pensamentos, os desejos
e as palavras das pessoas.
Nunca interrompa os outros nem os ridicularize,
nem os imite rudemente.

Permita a cada pessoa o direito de expressão pessoal.
Nunca fale dos outros de uma maneira má.

A energia negativa que você coloca para fora, no Universo,
voltará multiplicada para Si.

Todos as pessoas cometem erros,
E todos os erros podem ser perdoados.
Pensamentos maus causam doenças a mente,
ao corpo e ao espírito.

Pratique o optimismo.

A Natureza não é para nós,
ela é parte de nós.

Toda a natureza faz parte
da nossa família Terrena.

As crianças são as sementes do nosso futuro.
Plante amor nos seus corações
e trate delas com sabedoria e lição de vida.
Quando estiverem crescendo, dê-lhes espaço para que cresçam.

Evite machucar os corações das pessoas.
O veneno da dor causada a outros,
retornará a você.

Seja sincero e verdadeiro em todas as situações.
A honestidade é o grande teste

Mantenha-se equilibrado.

Symeon the new theologian (949-1022)

We awaken in Christ's body,
as Christ awakens our bodies,
and my poor hand is Christ,
He enters my foot, and is infinitely me.

I move my hand, and wonderfully
my hand becomes Christ,
becomes all of Him (for God is indivisibly whole, seamless is His Godhood).

I move my foot, and at once
He appears like a flash of lightning.
Do my words seem blasphemous? - Them
Open Your heart to Him

and let Yourself receive the one
who is opening to You so deeply.
For if We genuinely love Him,
We wake up inside Christ's body

Where all our body, all over,
every most hidden part of it,
is realized in joy as Him,
and He makes Us, utterly, real,

and everything that is hurt, everything,
that seemed to Us dark, harsh, shameful, maimed, ugly, irreparably damaged, is in Him transformed
and recognized as whole, as lovely,
and radiant in His light
We awaken as the beloved
in every last part of our body.

Outside light




Inside me,

right in the center
the other light,

different to the outside light,
happy to have space to grow , to expand,

invites me to join her in Our unknown trip ...
