you can do what you love and live in financial freedom and abundance, for it is not what you do that brings wealth, it is what you know yourself to be that allows you to accept what is already yours. if the amount of work was equivalent to the amount of wealth, then people working two and three jobs would be wealthy–or at the very least they would be happy. But many are barely making ends meet, and even fewer are truly happy. wealth has less to do with busy-ness and productivity. It has only to do with awareness–the awareness that you are infinite and always deserving. When this is truly accepted, you’ll experience the ease and joy of living and the play and fun of money.

Waitressing:

Me: were you ready to order?

Customer: yes, I'll have a bowl of clam chowder

Me: oh I'm sorry we don't serve soup after 11pm

Customer: you don't have any soup?

Me: no, I'm sorry, is there something else I can get for you?

Customer: I'll have the steak and eggs, I guess. You're sure you don't have any soup?

Me: *pulls string releasing confetti and balloons* CONGRATULATIONS SIR! Our company policy insists that we make you ask for soup at LEAST three times before we serve it to you. You have passed our test! Enjoy your chowder

Sometimes it’s enough just to say their names like a rosary, ordinary names linked by nothing but the fact that they belong to men who loved you.

Some Things to Ponder

The human psyche wants to FEEL even if those feelings are unpleasant.

The voice in your head is not who you are and sometimes the voice in your head deceives you.

It is not your circumstances but your thinking about your circumstances which creates your perception of reality.

Even if you share a room with somebody their world is very different from yours.

Usually when you feel afraid you are not really in any danger.

Usually you create your own drama and chaos.

Other people have only the power over you that you give them.

In every conflict there is a favorable resolution you have only to find it.

Usually other people are too wrapped up in themselves to give much thought to you and what you do.

You are not the center of THE universe only YOUR universe.

Kindness accomplishes much more than anger.

Wrongful actions and thoughts eventually show in the face even when that face was once beautiful.

Kindness and intelligence show in the eyes. Look for the spark.

You don’t have to pick the rose to enjoy the scent.

Your life can change in an instant if only you can change your perspective.

What do you think is with the massive pushback against veganism? Like even before I was vegan and didn't think I ever would be, I never once defended the meat industry or hated on vegans. Most people claim to love animals, so why don't they at the very least respect vegans for reducing harm towards them? Instead you can literally just say the word "vegan" and those same "animal lovers" actually get angry about it. It's so strange to me

I think the real anger comes from people who know that veganism is far more consistent with their own personal ethics than eating animals is. I’ve found that the classic “but bacon tho” people who honestly just don’t care about animals at all usually just troll but they’re not actively angry, it’s those concerned with social justice and animal welfare who have the most hate for us. We challenge their perceptions of their own ethics and we call them out on their hypocrisy, so it’s quite an understandable reaction I think. It isn’t justified of course, but it’s easier than having to really reflect on their own values.

something is wrong when society bashes those who are empathetic towards animals before they question the toture and torment of said animals.

A good relationship is when two people accept each other’s past, support each other’s present, and love each other enough to encourage each other’s future.
