Always  work hard to practice compassion- soon it will  develop  automatically, spend time in deep silence and learn inner peace, you will see beauty in everything- simply by removing  cynical, negative habits. Remembering it is not always easy, so accept that, I don't want to lie, it takes much practice, for the rest of your life, anything less is a door shut.Forget all you learned,Forget what they taught you, this is the first way to change your own life.Since you can't just erase it, here is the exercise you need to begin,Always stay open,never stop listening.When you experience a new realization, do not be cynical and hard on yourself for not getting it sooner,instead be excited and thankful for what you have learned.Give up to the world, but do not give in the world.Do not believe yourself to the point of limitation,you should believe in yourself.One word and the way you perceive it, can make all the difference. Humankind's deepest wonders and beyond open up, when you let your guard down.   For although nature and science are seemingly complex, the key is found in silence, soon you will find answers, not confounded by chaos, just pure, in simplicity.  Life, and its meaning  seem simple enough- life is for living. Life it blooms when we choose to  face a new day. Face each day not with fear of what 'could'' be; do the best that you can, for that is all that you can do. Take time to feel the sun's warmth spreading over you, and natures cool and crisp air, Feeling inspired. 

Learning begins by putting to trust in ourselves-  noticing life is not all black and white,adopting new and bold ideas, making choices that society may not agree with not worrying to fit in.No longer needing to be told what to think, no longer seeking a of 'seal of approval.' Without all those worries that seek validation, you will find new understanding, and the real meaning within'.There is so much more than this,so walk with me, talk with me enlighten me friend.We need  no more words,only silence herein. Simply put its like this:LIFE= LEARN. The things you need learn  are the things you teach best.Life is a paradox  filled with mystery humour,and change. The meaning of life is so simple yet true. Find meaning in your life. How is it done and where do I start? Stop endlessly worrying, and thinking too much, It takes much practice for the rest of your life, but consider its possible to change your life by working from your heart.  Start with respect, gifts that you were given  at birth. Learning from life is to be aware and pay attention. Soon you will see, that every human on this earth, we are all really just one.Live a life full of love and have a life time of growth. I find life's utter unpredictability so intoxicating.You can choose to be scared, its easy to do-there are many whose job is to put control over you so explore living fearlessly, by accepting your choice.Everyday and every way do a little mental and spiritual weightlifting. Accepting responsibility for myself, and things I have  done, feeling tremendously and joyfully overwhelmed-blessed ~to have another day to learn, and enjoy life. Keep your heart open.Realizing each year,the true blessing of age; That the longer I play here,the more I have gained.Many times I have hurt, just like you,I have been very poor, and thought I lost everything, had to beg, borrow steal.I once often was beaten, but they can't beat my soul. I share with you my life being honest and letting of my fears. Learning to outgrow certain behaviors, ones that do not serve me. Without any judgment, in hand with compassion, I discovered being authentic is key. To be authentic and  true to yourself  is a journey worth taking, but it will shift you, shake you and make you brand new.
