Can You Push Through?
Written by Jodi Chapman
At some point in your life, you will realize that it’s time to start pushing.
You will realize that your dreams are just on the other side of your fear and trepidation and insecurity and all of that gunk that you really don’t want to deal with and just wish would go away. At some point in your life, you will have had enough. You will stare all of these barriers straight in the face and with more determination than you have ever felt, you will break through them one by one.
Insecurity – gone.
Fear – gone.
Anxiety – gone.
Hesitation – gone.
Uncertainty – gone.
Self doubt – gone.
Inner critic – gone.
And when you do this, every single thing that stood between you and your dreams will dissolve, disappear, vanish. And you will have broken through. You will have pushed through. You will be on the other side of all of this crap that has kept you down for so long.
And it will feel amazing! In that moment, you should definitely celebrate this feeling – this victory. You know why? Because you are in the minority of people who are brave enough to get here. It can be scary to face our fears and insecurities head on – to know that there is so much more on the other side of them – to consciously push through them because we know that our dreams are waiting for us. To realize that the only thing that stood between you reaching your dreams was you.
So take it in. Give yourself some love. And then get ready to soar.
Because guess what?
Once you break through the walls, it is just you and your dreams. Nothing stands between you. Everything that you have ever wanted is just a breath away. And this is wonderful. But because we’ve never felt this before, it may also feel uncomfortable – even scary. We may cower and worry that we aren’t ready. And we may start to create new barriers to keep us safe and keep us comfortable. And this is okay. This is even normal.
Because now you know how to break through. Now you are no longer okay with living without your dreams. You are no longer okay with living a half-lived life. And because of this, you are certain that you will continue to push through and dissolve any barrier that comes between you and your dream – the life you were born to live.
You now know that you are strong enough to do this – strong enough and worthy enough to want this. And strong enough to do something about it. No matter what comes up – no matter what happens – you will keep pushing through.
You were born to live fully. You were born to reach your dreams. And that is exactly what you will do.

How common is self-love, what happens without it, and how does it relate to self-esteem?
Self-love is very essential in boosting our self-esteem. A person having self-love is contented with his own presence, whereas a person who does not have self-love always wanders to get love from other people or things. He is always restless. He never feels satisfied even after receiving love from people. His hunger for love never ceases, and hence he demands more and more attention from others. As a result, his relationships are ruined and he always lives in misery.rn rnSo,

Who is a True Guru? How to choose a Spiritual Guru?
Grave danger in uprooting a Guru Do not accept a known guru as guru, and if you do, then do not turn your back on him. Use a pot if you do not like him. The pot will not have any problems. Worship it because your buddhi (intellect) will not be active there and your work will get done. Now who would be so careful that he would not allow his intellect to interfere? How can one understand all this? Questioner: At the time we make someone our guru, he appears to be very good, he

What is the importance of Living Guru?
Questioner: If we surrender to the great souls that lived thousands of years ago, can that be considered surrender? Can we make any progress through such surrender or do we need to surrender to a living great man? Dadashri: You can progress even through Paroksha (indirectly- one not currently living). However if you find such a living (Pratyaksh) person, then your liberation will be instant. The indirect approach will give you the benefit of progress but there is no liberatio
