Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale. It cannot be fabricated out of public relations. It comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when e suddenly realize that, knowing the good, we have done it; knowing the beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth we have spoken it. ~Whitney Griswold
I know that people say to others you have no self-esteem or self-respect. It is because we are being judged by them by their expectations and standards. What brings self-respect is knowing that we will do the right thing for ourselves and others. Speaking the truth is not always as easy to do as many times our truths hurt others feelings. The most beautiful thing in the Universe is the Divine, God, Goddess or what ever name you feel the creator of love and life is named.
The joy of a good friend, the happiness of being around others, and visiting the places we love. It is all a part of beauty. Doing what we want to do with out living out the expectations of others is also good. I am having fun just being myself and socializing at lunch with people in a neighborhood in the Philippines. It is nice because I am being treated as a real person. I am Nita and not just another foreigner in the Metro Manila area. I am myself.
The work I do requires that I work upon myself and my actions at all times. The challenges and choices get harder and more subtle when I do get to the point of which direction my life will go. Yet I have to look at myself and what I want to be. I have to learn to control what I am and the best way to treat myself and others. It is what life is all about in this world.

Killing Truth and Immortal Lies
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Advice to Youth
I have lived in a small town for many years. I have seen the best liar win in many arguments. Others judge people emotionally by the untruths they have heard. People become ostracized and not believed. It does not matter how many witnesses the person has or how much the truth is told. The one who is vicious and doing this because of his own agenda is considered the interesting one.
Everyone likes to believe bad things about others. Especially in the business I do. People with prior agendas will cause problems. You tell the truth and it does not matter, you have references and you made them up. You have people who you have achieved results with and it is ignored.
Everything is back to the basics of a lie traveling faster than the truth. Why is that so true? It is the nature of human beings to find a scapegoat which is normally someone or something they are jealous of in every way. It is what happened to the Jews as they were successful and in a bad economy they were used as a scapegoat. So a person with a bad experience will harm others by lying about them and taking out their misery on them. Any minority, creed, sexual orientation, or other person who is different or doing different work knows this feeling.
A person who lies about others always is a miserable person. They have something to prove so it is always their ego involved, and they want to show how great they are to others. The victim always tells the truth and no one listens, proves it and everyone wants to believe the worse because they want to believe bad about others. Yet think what sort of person needs to lie and get attention by ruining another person. If they do it to one person they will do it to others.
The sad fact is most of the time the people who do this never take the time to know the person being lied about and prejudge them. They treat others badly because of what they have heard about their race, their profession and what they do, they bully them, intimidate them, and make themselves feel powerful and that sort of person is what is wrong with the world. The ones accusing others of being liars are normally the ones who are the liars just like the jealous person who accuses everyone else is normally the one running around in a marriage. Make up your own mind instead of listening to others and realize that the person being slandered might be telling the truth.

Perceptions and Reality
Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe.
What we believe is based upon our perceptions.
What we perceive depends upon what we look for.
What we look for depends upon what we think.
What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe.
What we believe determines what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is our reality.
~ Gary Zukav ~
Reactions and perceptions are a big part of our life. In the work that I do many people say God does not listen to me. Nothing ever goes my way and they believe it. Yet each morning when they wake up they are making their reality into what they wish it to be. Breaking out of that reality is not always an easy thing to do. I know that I have had my life shaped by others beliefs many times.It is because they are so persistent to have others join them in their misery instead of laughing enjoying life and having fun.
Yet why should I be in the same mood as others. Belief is a powerful tool and so many things try to shape our reality and beliefs. You watch the news and you perceive the world as a harsh place that is going bankrupt and many other negative things. Yet if we perceive ourselves as able to cope and deal with our problems and think outside of the box. We will not have those attitudes.You could also watch the news and say I have a great life and thank God even if you do not know who is helping you intellectually.
I have always enjoyed traveling but every thing seemed to happen where I saw the US and parts of Mexico or Canada. I never thought about planning for travel out of the country. Yet I always prayed that I would find a way to do my work and enjoy myself. I was amazed when I became well known enough to have people pay for me to travel to help them. I did a good job, made many friends and my perceptions changed. I would have laughed at anyone who told me I would be going to all of the places I have gone to doing my work.
All of us shape our reality by our perceptions and choices. Anyone can do anything by persistence and belief. You can bring sunshine into someones life with smiling at them. You can light up your world by helping others with the little things in life. A compliment about a dress, helping with groceries, or any other way you can help another.
Reality shapes with the energies that we put into it. I do not understand why people curse others as who would want that energy back. People who nonstop complain always find something to complain about or they are lost. So spirituality is also about just being thankful at times. Happiness is a state of mind and it does not mean that life has to be perfect. It just means that we are happy to be alive and know that by endurance and persistence we will have more things to be happy about in our lives.

Life choices and how negativity affects your physical self
Negativity affects your life in many ways. Anything that causes negative energies to come into your life will impact you by causing a disharmony. It depends upon the person and what their weak areas are that show what the disharmony's change.
I have always been a person with weak health. I had eye problems and almost died when I had eye surgery from an allergic reaction to Sulfa. I had health problems and developed all of the family illnesses. It was easy for negativity to cause the health problems that I have now. Diabetes can be controlled by diet and I did so for years. Yet I can not do that now.
Do I love deserts? Yes I do and I normally do not eat them. Yet when I have things going on where I need to ground I find it hard to resist them. I develop infections and other problems when I have not been able to completely stop the effect of the attacks of defending another. I always figure that if the divine wants me to do this sort of work then I will find solutions.I have always exercised, watched what I ate, did not do drugs, did not smoke, only occasionally had a beer. I am overweight since I have been 14 from thyroid problems so you can see how disharmony's find my health the weakest way to work into my system.
Backlash from healing someone happens when evil forces especially demons or spells have been set up to kill or destroy the person that undoes the evil. The divine does protect the person but the demon or opposing magician tries to switch things at the last moment to make it so personal power seems to be used where they can try to cut off part of the help of the divine.
If they do not cause the disharmony at the moment of undoing the evil then they will cause it through the actions of others after the problem is resolved. The challenge is outwitting some thing that is ancient, evil, and intelligent when it is a fallen angel where you can use it against itself and have the divine there as a wall of protection.
You have to develop ways to make it too costly, to harmful and non-productive so the fallen angel just walks away. Magicians who set up spells and rituals to harm others are normally paid and told by the client to do certain things. You have to be sure they are hit and neutralized and the people paying them are hit and neutralized. The people who pay others never want to be inconvenienced by the evil that they wish upon others. So again it makes it too costly for them to want to keep doing the evil work.
You can do things that work with the truth and prevent bad things from happening. It may cause results and ripples that make it so disharmony's occur for others. The reason for this is they are not living in truth or being ethical. If the person who is protecting others always tries to stay in truth and be ethical it does work well for the people they are helping. The others who have any work cause problems will have it be because they are fooling themselves.
Every decision is a challenge and the challenges build up until it is like forcing someone through the eye of a needle. Yet those challenges are what life is all about and what makes it so we learn to be real human beings who live in truth.
So it is realizing that no matter how much people say if you do different cures, or act in a certain way. Be vegetarian, or many other things it still will depend upon what the disharmony's find as the weakest area that they can flow into in your life.
So judging others is not good. I always judge by results and by truth. All of the physical and other things including judging others by money or labels is just a way to feel superior. Any one of us can have problems. It is enjoying every one for themselves and not try to make the other person feel badly about themselves.
