“The trees do not hold on to dead leaves but lose them in order to create room for new ones. We can learn from this, by letting go of the past and focusing on the now. We cannot change the past but we can make the present and future brighter and better not bitter.” ~ Kemi Sogunler
We all go painful periods in our lives. It could be from a broken relationship, from the death of a loved one, from a difficult job or childhood trauma. We often hold on to the painful memories than we do to the lessons those situations taught us. We allow our emotions, which may be partly illusions, lead us than push us to focus on becoming better, than remaining bitter.
Holding on to painful memories only lead to bitte
ess, strife, malice and anger that only hold us back from moving forward. This only makes us toxic, as all we can give to anyone around us, is the pain we have and not love.
By looking at trees shed dead leaves that crumble and have no life or breathe in them, we can learn to let go of all dead things in our lives from painful memories knowing that they cannot make us grow stronger or wiser but can only derail us from striving and pushing forward to newness of life.
We must create room for new leaves of life and hold on the lessons from the past, knowing that we become stronger as we move forward. We cannot change the past; we can only handle the now and prepare ourselves for the future. Our dreams, our hopes and faith can come alive when as we strive and work to become the best version of us ever created to live, move and have our being. Let us learn to breathe life into ourselves. Let us show others we can overcome, let us refuse to be held back by pain or sorrow. The past no longer has a hold over us when we realize that the dead leaves (pain/memories) can be swept away. We can give room to new leaves of life and watch ourselves bloom and flourish as we move on to greater things ahead. Keep your faith and hold on. Your best is yet to come!

Soul Perspectives on Love
Are you willing to commit yourself to Love - the infinite presence of Spirit in your soul? If so, there are certain basic principles we need to understand about how we love. In our mentally polarized cultures that are dominated by a male energy that emphasizes doing and producing, we often unconsciously feel that in order to love we must act in certain ways. While this yang aspect of love is important, the primary aspect of love is yin - i.e., receptive, magnetic. Love does not require doing anything. It is a way of being present.

Feel the Joy Of Your Unfulfilled Desires
You don't stop very often to think about how you are feeling. And yet, how you are feeling is everything. How you are feeling is your point of attraction. How you are feeling is your asking from the Universe. How you are feeling is everything that is coming to you! Most of you have not discovered that the Universe is conspiring to assist you. And so you work hard from an attitude of unworthiness, from a feeling that you are not enough, from a feeling that you have to justify. And what I want you to begin to do is recognize that the Universe is responding to the way you feel.
