As of this writing, the tiny man-made space probe New Horizons is gathering data on one of the last unexplored major bodies of our solar system – Pluto. Depending who you agree with, Pluto is the last of the classical planets that human probes have reached, yet, still, no smoking gun for the presence of alien life. Those hoping for such a discovery need not be too downhearted, there is always hope for what may lie in the icy depths of Europa, but for now scientists are casting their empirical net farther than our own backyard. They are looking to our galaxy and finding that, not only are there habitable planets in other solar systems, but that they might be common.

But what does this mean for humanity? When we look at those distant worlds, is someone looking back?

Have you ever considered simply asking your inner child what they would like to do today? They will always seek out love, nurturing and fun when they are given your undivided attention, and that is how simple it is to give yourself the unconditional love and joy you are wishing to experience more of. ~Archangel Gabriel

It is time to release the vilification of those you feel have wronged you.  This does not mean that you condone their actions or words…..it does mean that you are giving yourself the gift of forgiving and letting go.  And, in the moment when things lift, there will be a lightness of being that can be used to flow toward, move into and embrace your new energy. ~ Creator

“You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy.” ~Unknown

From a very young age we have been continuously taught to love others and as a consequence many of us are trying to always please others instead of learning self-love and how to please ourselves. In some cases, we even think that we are not worth being loved the way we are and we might even hate ourselves for various reasons.

Below you will come to learn three little tips on how to love yourself just the way you are. In order to love yourself, you need to realize that:

Nobody is perfect.

God said:

Of highlands and lowlands is the Earth made. Of forests and deserts. Of frozen lands and hot tropics. Of everything, life is made, and the picture of life is made. This is the relative world in which you live. That you can’t have one thing without another sums up pretty well the relative world you find yourself living in.

I say that Oneness alone is.

Depending upon where you look from, one statement or the other above is true. Or, it can also be said that both are true. Again, I say that Oneness Alone Is True.

All that which appears true, and all what is really true may well not be the same. Even on the surface dimension of Earth, something that appears true may not be true. Thus, there are such things as scams and disillusion to all that which is only illusion in the first place.

It is an illusion that death exists. And how wonderful it is to be disillusioned about death, to have the true realization really sink in and sink in deeply. That there is no death is too wonderful to believe, and, yet, you can believe.

By the same token, you could then say: “HA HA, God, if there is no death, how can it said there is Life? How do You get out of this argument?”

Most of us can become very easily offended by what others say or think about ourselves. We count on the opinions of others so much that whenever one says something that we don’t like about ourselves, we take it so personally that creates within us many negative emotions such as anger or sadness. There are reasons why this happens, and here you will learn a few basic tips on how to stop being so easily offended.

Accept yourself as you are.

The main reason why most of us get offended very easily is that we don’t accept ourselves as we are. For various reasons, who don’t like who we are and want the constant reassurance from others that we are good and nice. This always make us base our view about ourselves on the opinions of others, and this causes huge psychological trouble to us. Some people might not like us or criticize us by pointing things about us (whether true or not) that we don’t like hearing and hence as a reaction we get offended and disappointed.

Something fishy is going on with California’s assessments and so-called fracking regulations…

It is an unfortunate reality that good jobs are intertwined with what might be later construed as not only an environmental devastation but America’s next personal health devastation – hydraulic fracking.

It is also unfortunate that while Americans flock to so-called “boom towns” for those good jobs, the jobs themselves are tied into the ebb and flow of gas prices. As such, it is not surprising to hear rumors of mass layoffs in the boom towns and see the resulting economic effects.
