Only when we shine light on our shadows we are able to tranform them

Hello everybody, I hope you are all doing well.

I think this is actually the most important post I have ever wrote and something so important to share with you.

I think the hardest and darkest times in life are crucial to get clearity about ourselves and transform to a better version of ourselves - or better to find the way back to our true self, our essence.

Everything that triggers you in life or makes you feel that your loosing control is a strong sign of a wound that isn´t healed yet inside of yourself. So every person or circumstance that comes along your way in life is there in order to reflect your own shadows. Things that make you upset are things you do not want to see about yourself!

Things you point your finger on and critize, are actually things you do not want to see in yourself and therefore you also do not want to accept them or you are simply unaware of their existance. We can not change other people and their behaviour but what we can change is how we react to them. So every time we deny our shadows (personality traits that we consider as bad or inappropriate) we create suffering. Everything we do not want to accept will persist and create more suffering and sabotage ourselves most likely all life long - We will live in a self created lie of who we are. I think we can only accept and love ourselves if we truly and deeply understand who we are!

And I think the truth hurts but the truth will liberate us, will set us free and will finally stop our cravings of external acceptance because we start to truly accept ourselves first with all defaults and then we do not need any external validation to feel better about ourselves. In order to do so we need to start learning how to observe our own behaviours and thoughts. Many times our own mind is our worst enemy in therms of making us smaller and more limited than we are in reality!

“Unless you learn to face your own shadows, you will continue to see them in others, because the world outside of you is only a reflection of the world inside of you.” – The Minds Journal

Why self-love is the key to true love.

“You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.” ― C. JoyBell C. This beautiful quotation shows that we need to accept and love ourselves with all imperfections as a result to give value to our life and everything around us, including our loved ones. Only when we know who we truly are, when we forgive ourselves to let go of all negativity and to heal our wounds, when we know our goals and dreams, only then we will be able to invite true love to our life. Many people misunderstand the importance of loving themselves because they think that i

Mindful Sunday #1

 “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh Being mindful helps us to realise for what we can be grateful in our daily life. What are you doing sundays to be mindful? To be grateful? What slows you down?

Mindful sunday #12

Life is short. I mean how often do we really do the things we really want to do? How often do we really say what we feel? How often do we really show our appreciation and love to others?  How often are we thankful? How often do we show our true soul? How often do we want to help? Do something good for others? Be humble, be kind. Life is mystery. Life is constant change. But life is beautiful. Life is deep. Life is a painting of all our experiences, all our memories. So just let every day be a special day - just remember it could be the last. If you live this way you can say in the end - life is a gift. The biggest gift.     © Wind of Happiness
