Many women think that the key to beauty lies in the bottom of their makeup bag. There are a million and one reasons why women believe this: they’re judged on their appearance, pop culture and mass media support those judgements, and big business makes its money off shamelessly promoting the before and after effects of their miraculous products. The truth is, being beautiful doesn’t come from a lipstick tube, mascara wand, or blush brush. The following seven factors create a more lasting impression than any amount of makeup ever could:

1. Her passions

A woman who is without passion is one dull woman. At times life can feel like a Mack truck, ready to roll over us all at a moment’s notice. It’s hard for a woman to slow down and take time to do the things that truly bring her joy, but when she neglects the part of herself that ignites her, then she is living a passionless existence...

God said:

Pledge that today you will reveal yourself in all your glory. Intend this. See what happens.

You have predicted days when you will be in a slump. Now predict today as a day you will be Who you really are without all these other damaged pictures of you. Whatever you may think of yourself, today reveal the picture I have of you. You realize, dear ones, that My picture of you is authentic. The picture the world thinks you match is irrelevant, and it is not the Truth of you.

The Truth of you is, indeed, glorious, as glorious as the Sun. I made the Sun, and I made you a Shining Light as well. Would I, Who made the Sun, the Stars, the Moon and all Light make you less? Would I make you something else altogether? The same light that shines in Me shines in you. God shines. You shine. Everything has a God Glow to it. It cannot be otherwise.

Good grief, if mankind can make automobiles that sparkle and shine, I certainly can make My Greatest Creation shine brightly. Even pools of water shine in My Light, to say nothing of the Ocean Petals of Light. Do not misunderstand My Power and the Extent of Creation. In fact, there is no extent to what I can do. I am Infinite, and Infinite are the Realms I have created.

You are not only Light. You are Infinite Light. No longer dim the appearance of the Light You Are in your eyes. Speak for Truth. Engage in the world as the Lighted Being you are. You are not to gather dust on the shelf.

Patterns and coincidences occur around us every day. We notice them in things like the flower of life and the golden ratio. Numbers and sequences are found all over in life, and mathematics is considered the only consistent global language, because, as engineers will all say, the numbers never lie. The presence of these patterns and coincidences has led many people to speculate about the construction of our world, consciousness, and subconscious. One such theory I covered in a separate article, The Flower of Life: A Pattern that Makes up Everything around Us, referring to a segment of merkaba geometry of which our entire reality is built from. Another example would be the popular movie trilogy, The Matrix, in which all people are born into a computerized simulated life, and the actual physical world is a dark and desolate place governed by robots which feed off of the people. The subconscious is so powerful that if someone dies in the Matrix, they die in reality as well. This fiction obviously applies more to a computerized world in which people believe they exist; in this article, I will discuss a potential that the world, the reality in which we live, actually is very similar to this conception of a computerized existence.

HJ: The path to achieving your dreams is never a straight line.  You must be prepared to navigate curves, areas where the path disappears, hills, valleys, mountains, canyons and on and on.  Knowing what to expect ahead of time can save you a great amount of struggle and allow you to navigate whatever comes your way with ease and grace.  And that’s exactly what this article is all about.

10 Mistakes To Avoid When Chasing Your Dream

“Don’t let toxic people infect you with the fear of giving and receiving one of the most powerful forces in this world… LOVE!” ― Yvonne Pierre, The Day My Soul Cried: A Memoir

I’ve gotten to a place in my life, where I have learned to honor everyone I come into contact with. To treat everyone with love and respect. To be kind, sincere, transparent and loving with all human beings. It’s how I treat myself, so it feels natural to treat those around me in the same way. But there are times when I ask myself whether that’s a right thing to do. Whether it’s okay to think that there is goodness in everyone and that all people are kind and loving.

When you encounter people who use one another for their own selfish interests, including you, perceiving others as tools and objects that are meant to help them get the things they want in life, and when they lie and act with a lack of love and integrity, you start to question your own behavior. You start to question whether you are right to think that all people are good, and whether you should close your heart to people just so that you won’t get hurt.

Stress can be both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on the nature and course of its duration. In the short term, stress activates a fight-or-flight response that signals the adrenal glands to release hormones that increase heart rate and blood pressure, such as adrenaline and cortisol, which help the body protect itself against harm. However, when stress levels continuously remain high on a long term basis, these same defense mechanisms that prove helpful during situations of acute stress can wreak havoc on the body by lowering the immune system, impairing the cardiovascular system, causing blood pressure problems, and more. In short, chronic stress basically diminishes your quality of life to some degree in virtually every aspect possible. Learning to manage stress is essential to achieving an optimal quality of life. Thankfully, there are methods that can help you do just that. The following techniques for combatting stress are packed with the potential to positively impact various aspects of your life:

You must experience a ‘tearing down’ before any ‘expansion’ can occur. The demolition of stale energy or outdated belief systems always makes way for something new and better. ~ Creator
