Peacemakers

Greetings and welcome! ♥

A peacemaker seeks to resolve issues and uses truth to do so because a peacemaker knows all those involved can't really put an unresolved issue behind them and move forward. A person who likes and thrives on dissension and drama, a trouble maker and/or advocate for trouble, will do everything they can to keep the dissension and drama going, even accuse a person seeking resolution of being the troublemaker, especially if there are lies being covered up. 

I am all too familiar with 'drama feeders' and the lying, manipulation, stonewalling, etc. that are practiced in the evading of topics that expose the truth about the opposition. One website in particular comes to mind that's a hotbed of such a type of drama feeding, backstabbing people going all the way to the top, the owner/programmer. I was put through hell there but I've gained from the experience a wealth of information and material that no book or set of books could EVER teach me about the lower forms of humans in the conscienceless sector.

From my poem, "Gifted By God":
"When we understand why there are struggles in our life, 
All with silver linings in spite of stress and strife, 
We afford ourselves the ability to negate the negative, 
Transform it into positive to be wiser how we live."

"Atrocities are blessings, though different from the norm,
Because they are blessings delivered in an abstract form.
We can't always see the silver linings in our sky, clouded,
Until hindsight reveals what an experience enshrouded."

"Peacemakers believe in and seek resolutions; Troublemakers oppose and undermine solutions. Peacemakers deal with Truth and deal with facts; Troublemakers use lies for their counter attacks. Peacemakers want peace and harmony; Troublemakers thrive on hostility."

Being-Forgiving

Greetings and welcome! ♥

There is a misconception in regards to the act of forgiving. When we forgive another, we benefit ourselves because by forgiving another person of a transgression, we "free ourselves" from the burden.

Many folks believe that when another is forgiven, the person forgiven is then let off the hook, so to speak, but this is not the case because the one forgiven is still left to carry the burden of guilt and they have no longer a hold over the forgiver. Hence, a transgressor who has wronged another, must forgive themselves to "free themselves".

To reach the place of forgiving self, there are steps of accountability one must take to reach this place. First, a person feeling guilty because of something wrong they've done, must "voluntarily" acknowledge/admit to themselves they did wrong; they made a mistake. Second, they have to confess they have to the one or ones they've wronged, if possible, and third, if possible, apologise "sincerely without excuses". Fourth, they have to make an honest and sincere attempt to right the wrong, make restitution, and/or take steps to show they've learned from their mistake(s) to prevent making the same again. Once these steps of accountability have been completed, the person seeking self forgiveness and freedom from guilt, will reach and obtain the forgiving of self and freedom. 

Note: Forced accountability is not the same as voluntary accountability. When a person is forced to be accountable, they may or may not truly within themselves to themselves admit their mistake or wrongdoing. If they do not, then usually there's tacked on in addition to guilt (likely denial of), bitterness, resentment, and even vengeance, which results in a person who is miserable and such people want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.

Voluntary accountability is NOT a pleasant or easy process. It requires real courage or guts as some would say and one has to "humble themselves", which means completely letting go of their ego and their ego fed pride. But it's not supposed to be easy or some joyride, because if it was pleasant and/or easy, there would be no learning and we'd be doomed to repeat the wrong again. Our character can't grow to become a better person if we learn no lessons and when lessons are particularly hard to bear, we aren't likely to forget the hard lessons learned and aren't therefore, going to be too keen on doing wrong in the future knowing the painful consequences to right or try to right a wrong.

Once you've gone through with the process and come clean, the reward of having the heavy burden of guilt lifted is indescribable, leaving you wondering why you didn't do it sooner. Since there are many folks who don't or won't forgive, who cling fiercely to their grudges, when you go through the pre-described process to forgive yourself, whether another or others forgive you or not, will not matter nor should it because we have no dominion over others' actions and behaviours, only our own. When we KNOW truly in our heart of hearts that we've done what's right, we need no validation of from anyone whatsoever. ♥

If-By-Day

Greetings and welcome! ♥

This quote pretty much says what it means and means what it says. It's quite simple to understand in that, if you do what's right, you'll sleep peacefully because your conscience won't be eating at you, keeping you awake. ♥

There-Is-Beauty

Greetings and welcome! ♥

Beauty, in a similar way as with blessings, we can become so caught up with life, with something that's consuming our time and focus, we forget to take some time to see and realise the beauty around us and very often the most beautiful things come in the simplest ways/forms, whether visually or felt inwardly. There's an added benefit, a beauty in seeing and appreciating beauty, and this is, we add to and feel more blessed. ♥

Live-To-Love

Greetings and welcome from Artsieladie! ♥

When we "Live to Love", make Love as the center of our life, nurture and maintain Love in our heart, we then cultivate a positive outlook on life. We look for the best in people not the worst or the lesser. Living a positive life, we then Love living. If we all lived this way, we could live peacefully and happily with one another. ♥

To ourselves and others, Peace we give."
