In his book Awareness: The Perils and Opportunities of Reality, Anthony De Mello says: “Whenever you are upset, it is because of you, not because of the other person.” “Now understand that you’re making a demand, you have an expectation of this person. Then simply see that you have no right to make any demand on them—and in seeing this, the expectation drops.”

self realized people say that to become one with everything... we must "become empty" what does that mean to "become empty?" can it mean when we let go of desire and ego... that then we become a vessel for the divine to flow through? the key I've found for this that has completely transformed my life has been around focusing on the energy and process instead of the end result... I apply this to my purpose… I focus on making great videos and having fun with it I focus on helping people connect ideas in a new way Telling better stories Adding value to people And then HOW the videos do and who they reach… is NOT my thing to manage… I can give it up to God or the universe If you are going on a date… Your job is to have fun, express the real you and to be yourself 100% Whether they like you or not is NOT your thing to manage… The funny thing is… when you are focused on the process… you have more fun, enjoy it AND… You may find the results are better than ever! This happened recently to me and I’ve had more growth in the last 2 months than I have in 2 years! In a brand new video I explain this insight and show you how to apply it in your life! https://youtu.be/UncpHM_2VPc?si=4wwCYn3ZeGRxXfaT if this resonates with you lmk in the comments below!

You can also go on Pinterest screenshot and share in the comments below! Mine is how a dragonfly comes to be… from the book Gene Keys… Dragonflies spend much of their early lives underwater. As underwater insects they are known as nymphs, and unlike most pond insects they do not have to come to the surface for air. For most of their lives, nymphs live totally underwater where they are highly successful predators, feeding on anything from leaf litter to small fish. During this stage of its life, the nymph goes through a series of moults - stages of maturity in which it sheds its skin but still remains a nymph. These stages of the insect’s life can last several years, and during this time it has no idea whatsoever of what kind of future lies ahead. It is undergoing a series of hidden mutations. Then, one day, all of a sudden, some sleeping gene deep within is triggered and the nymph does something totally out of character - it finds the stalk of a nearby plant and climbs out of the water. For the first time in its life it tastes air and direct sunlight. Once the nymph has left the safety of its underwater environment, the sunlight begins to work on it, catalysing what will be its final moult. It is at this stage that the true magic occurs, as the advanced creature hidden within the nymph cracks the outer larval skin. Over a period of several hours, four crumpled wings appear and the distinctive slender thorax begins to uncurl. What is of great metaphorical relevance at this stage concerns the element of water. As the emerging dragonfly rises out of the element of water and prepares to be reborn into a new life in the element of air, the water that still lies within its body becomes the key to the transformation process. Through a process of hydraulics, the water within the nymph’s body is pumped into the emerging wings and thorax, causing them to unfurl and spread out for the first time. In other words, the dragonfly assumes its aerodynamic shape by means of the water from its old life. This water is what drives its mutation from nymph to dragonfly. As soon as all the water is expended and the dragonfly is fully extended, it takes to the air and begins its new life.”
