Love-n-Ego

Posted by at
Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

Ego and its sidekick, pride, can destroy a relationship, regardless of what type of relationship it is, when one or both involved allow their pride and ego to have control, because this sets the stage to disallow reasoning, understanding, listening to the other's perspective, forgiveness, compromise, etc. and so preventing a resolution of an issue or issues. Issues left unresolved never go away and usually fester and escalate, making solutions more and more difficult to achieve. ♥

“Love keeps humility always in bloom.
For the weed of ego, Love makes no room.
For if the weed of ego takes root to spread,
It can invade and destroy Love’s Flower Bed.”

Rain

Posted by at
Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

For flowers to bloom, they need sunshine but also need some rain.
Likewise in our life along with blissfulness, we must endure some pain.
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"When you learn to Love the rain,
Pouring you'll take in stride,
Appreciate the sunshine more,
And with life, enjoy the ride!"

Communication

Posted by at
Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

Humans tend to make life a whole lot more difficult than life needs to or should be. First, humans aren't all that great with being forthright and honest and just saying straight out what's on their mind. Then should another in their efforts to try and figure out what another's thinking, think wrongly, heaven forbid and the one left trying to figure them out gets blamed because they couldn't read their mind.

There's two very simple rules of thumb to follow to make life easier all the way around. First, one shouldn't do things they know they shouldn't and they won't then feel the need to lie and second, one should be honest, forthright, and clear and not beat around the bush. ♥

"Communication is the key, honest and sincere,
Revoking all assumptions with words spoken clear.
Misunderstandings can never come to Light
When Truth is always spoken for Truth is always right."

Persons-Character

Posted by at
Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

Exactly what this quote says... If you want to get a good idea of a person's character, pay attention to what/whom they support, defend, and condone. ♥

"You can know a person's character 
in one simple way alone
And this is by who and what they 
support, defend, and condone."

Empty-Vessels

Posted by at
Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

Anyone can 'say' anything but standing behind one's words and/or carrying out what one says, keeping their word, is another matter. A person of integrity doesn't just 'say' words but carries out and stands behind, supports, their words. In other words, one must 'own' their words not just 'say' them. 

 It is rare to find someone who will 'actually' keep their word, especially in regards to confidentiality. Telling someone that what they tell you will remain just between them and you, does NOT mean that you can then go tell someone else what was told to you in confidence, regardless of 'who' you tell, whether they are your spouse, sibling, friend, a group you belong to, or whoever.

I have been chastised severely by a group of people who had a history of belittling people who made a complaint about something. So instead of focusing on the issue(s), they focused on making fun of those who asked for issues to be addressed. This group attacked me for refusing to go against my given word because I wouldn't give up names of those who had come to me expressing their concerns about something. They accused me of being disloyal, a traitor to the group because I wouldn't and I was even mocked for having and standing by my principles. But even so, I REFUSED to go against my given word. There's no better validation of your own self worth and integrity than to have principles and to uphold them, especially when others are trying to break you AND it speaks volumes about those who try to, for they display they have no principles nor integrity themselves, because if they did, they'd show respect towards one who does, not try to break them down or especially, poke fun at them for having and standing by their principles.

 I have found that oftentimes people just need to vent, get something off their chest that's bothering them; just need to talk something out with someone whether to validate their thinking or to obtain from another a different perspective. Repeating such a conversation is just inviting trouble. But there are people who just love to stir up trouble. I've learned the hard way that there are VERY, VERY, VERY few people who can be trusted to zip their lips and when they repeat something, they can't without colouring it with some negative twisting as well. A person who can't be trusted to keep their word, is a person who can't be trusted, period. ♥

"Words are just empty vessels when 
by themselves they stand alone,
But words become power-full, mountain movers, 
when the deliverer does them own."

Happiness

Posted by at
Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

When we cultivate a life of being compassionate and kind
And for our many blessings, host grateful thoughts of mind,
We cultivate then a life fulfilled with joy and happiness
And the Light of Love naturally we radiate and express.
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"Happiness is a state of being, 
a content frame of mind,
Where gratitude is plentiful
 in a heart that is kind."

Potential

Posted by at
Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

If we shy away from being faced with challenges, we will never allow ourselves to know what our greatest potential is because when we allow ourselves to be, to become too comfortable and we allow this pleasing comfort to be our way of life, we then lose the desire to continue to grow, to reach our greatest potential. Challenges are necessary in life because they are the catalysts for learning, for bettering ourselves, and as we learn, we grow and hopefully become better and better people. ♥

"If you surround yourself with only those
Who yes you only, will not oppose,
Your greatest potential will remain untapped,
While your Gift of Growth remains still wrapped."

Playing-Hearts-With-Spades

Posted by at
Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

Have you ever tried being nice with someone? ..Or tried to be understanding? ..Or show another a willingness to work an issue out with them? ..Or be Loving, kind, and compassionate? But in spite of all you try, all you get in return is foul treatment? 

 I think some people thrive on instigating and perpetuating an atmosphere of tension and dissension. Personally, I loathe it. I believe any problem can be resolved but when you have to deal with someone or ones who don't want to because they like and want friction, such people are impossible to work with. ♥

"It's difficult to play Hearts when
the deck is stacked with spades."

Inspiration

Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

When you have an 'open heart', you're open to inspiration
And you will want to pay it forward before its expiration!
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"When inspiration spreads around,
It's a wonderful infection
And when it's spread with Love,
It's a positive connection."
