Hhshhhh, can’t you hear it?

Hhshhhh, can't you hear it? Yea, now I also can: Just for one day...; just one day, in the name of love. We could be heroes, you and I, in the name of love. Love heroes, do you hear me? You and I, love heroes...

But just for one day? Why not for longer, for a lot longer? Why not for ever; for ever ... and ever... We can be love heroes you and I, forever. I know we can! I think so ...

How wonderful life is when you're around...

Hshhhh, can’t you hear it? Yea, now I also can: Love is like oxygen, isn’t it? I can’t survive without it. Love lifts me up where I belong. All I need is love; love; love is all I need.

I never knew I could feel like this, being here with you. Seasons may change; our life situation change; but I will love you, till the end of time ... Yea; night and day; come what may, cause I'll love you till my dying day. I know I can. I think so...

How wonderful life is when you're around...

Hshhhh, can’t you hear it? Yea, now I also can: Lovers have secrets; lovers have dreams ... Do you want to listen to mine, OK? One day I’ll fly away; live in freedom everyday. I think it’s time now; I can feel it. Now! I think so ...

Do you want to listen to more; about my dreams, OK? About the greatest story ever learned; that about to love, and be loved in return. I just have to listen to my heart; can't you hear it, the choir? Can't you see it, my fire? Can't you feel it, the heat? Me in love; I can’t get enough of it. I'm on fire. And it’s not a dream. And it’s not a secret; it can be felt and seen by everyone, right? OK?

Oh, shhhh...; hello? Hello? Am I lost again? Where am I now? Is today the day when dreaming must end; when the show must go on? You know, on and on, keeping on ... Oh please, no ...

How wonderful life is when you're around...

Your attitude

This weak little fly; can you imagine that it can kill a man; even make millions dye?! This little spark of fire; how near to nothing it is; can you imagine that it can burn down your house; in worst case your whole town?!

Do you get it? Focus on your attitude, on your thought life. Negative thoughts in your brain work like viruses in a computer. Don’t let junk thoughts contaminate your software. If negative thoughts hit you, make sure that you do all necessary reprogramming so they don't find any place to hide and operate from.

Quit dreaming and laziness. The more complaisant you focus, the more complaisant you become; it makes you feel dead inside you, and creates defeat outside you. Faith in love without planning and acting is dead faith. You can talk and talk, but the proof is in the walk; it's pure action that counts. To walk in love is a commitment, the really big one. Your love isn’t there for comfort business; so stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone.

You may have a lot of excuses for feeling down and being negative; the situation around you will never seem ideal. But still stay positively action minded, as the opposite of making excuses for waiting till this and that will happen. Act even when odds are clearly against you. Smile and encourage yourself, as well as the ones around you; be understanding and kind and supportive to everyone you meet, including yourself. It doesn’t cost a cent. Focus on being a love person just from where you are right now, and grow from there. Being a love person has more with your attitude to do than your smartness to do. You do your best, and let your sphere of love do the rest.
 
You cannot see something you are not focusing on. You have to focus on being a person of excellence in order to act accordingly. It’s time to switch your mindset now, focusing on good things going your way. But your focus in direction successes, expecting the best to happen, must never make you loose sight of the fact that it’s the journey that counts; that happiness is about the journey, not only about the successes. If you don’t enjoy the journey, you miss what life is all about.

Do you want to stay happy in your life? A stupid question, you say? Not at all; it’s a choice you can and should make every day; it’s up to you to decide. The world around you is tough and stressed, and not specifically focused on your position and well being. But don't fall into the trap of being tied up by this world’s endless pity parties; don't join them. Don't let the pressure of life push you down; don't try to run the world; refuse to let this world’s misery steal away your joy in life. Each time you feel misunderstood or defeated, concentrate on having your vision of love in front of you. Pray and talk to yourself so you never loose sight of the overflow of this world’s love and beauty, wherever you go.

Showing a joyful love-related attitude is a powerful weapon that relieves tension inside you and around you, and makes defenses fall. That’s when you are in position to communicate and influence people around you for real. It’s time to start believing in your self now, being the thermostat that can influence your surroundings, not the thermometer that accepts whatever situation you are a part of. Don’t think like a chicken when you are a love eagle. Don’t let you attitude loose altitude. Raise your level of expectations, and take authority over your life.

May be you don’t see any result from days or months of hard work; some of your goals may take years or your whole life to fulfill. Being a love doer is a marathon race, not a speed run. So, don’t be tempted by shortcuts and quick solutions. Consistency is crucial, sticking to every day’s hard work on your road, by showing some real backbone, repeating to yourself that you will keep on keeping on whatever happens, bearing in mind that there is no red carpet to success in life. You must have a persistent aggressive bull dog determined attitude inside you in order to experience success outside you.

Love is not responsible for what is not love. If you feel you can't trust someone, don't fall into the trap of not trusting love. If you loose sight of your love, you get sick. Don’t let people or the society you are a part of interrupt your believing in your power of love, the fuel to your life journey.

Stop blaming others for what is wrong. Instead, focus on how you can make a difference. Let your attitude towards people in general be switched to positive wherever you go. Favor them, by always trying to see the love inside them, and ever thereafter staying focused on that picture whenever meeting them.
 
A success doesn’t come by its own. Good things going your way are well deserved reflections of your favor of love shining from you when staying dedicated and devoted, being busy walking your own special designed love road; a life journey that brings you good health, good friends, good business and a happy family life; in other words: Good life.

Good life? As a naked man I wander, frightened as a child; cause the lion with his amber eye, stares at me passing by. Well, I'm the lion, right; that brings me fear; and I must walk in desert land, till facing it I dare.

Younger than me

My... car... is more ... beautiful ......than me. So also my apartment ... more beautiful; with all its brand new design furniture inside it; and all kinds of fancy technical equipment. And my children of course; and my wife also, for sure ..., more beautiful than me. Because they are all so much younger... than me. So much ... younger...

I also have been beautiful once, years ago. But not now; that's what they all say, including my closest ones. I'm old now, with scares and wrinkles, impossible to hide. It has been tough life; or more like an active life, should I say. You know what I mean. Well, if you really knew me you would have known, of course.

But I feel beautiful... And I am beautiful... I feel great, do you hear me? I feel great... And beautiful... Yea, exactly; beautiful. Hello you out there, do you hear me? I am beautiful. Inside me I'm beautiful, can't you see?

(A young woman passing by): “Hello; do you need some help? Why standing there alone in the street shouting so loud? Do you want me to call for someone? You look tired, old man. Are you sick? Can I get you something; call for a taxi may be? You know where you live, right?”

M .. y..  my car is    more b ... beauty...ful than me  ...

Praying

On their common celebration day, both being 60 years old, the wife prayed to God to reward her with her highest wish in life, which was to travel all around the world. And then swish..., and all of a sudden an angel gave her all the travel tickets she could ever wish for. Then her husband told his prayer, that his highest wish was to be married to a girl 30 years younger than him. And then swish..., and all of a sudden he was 90 years old.

Spring season of love

Get into your personal spring season of love. Plan for plowing and seeding.

Plowing and seeding?

And thereafter fertilizing and watering, before waiting, patiently, as long as it takes, until its harvest time.

Harvest time?

In the darkness you see nothing. You have to be enlightened by your love in order to really see what life is all about. And then, when you can see it, you can be it. It’s spring season of love now, can't you see it? (music)

Spring season of love; beautiful, isn’t it! Or, may be more like hard work; real hard work. Is hard work beautiful? Giving from the best in me, from everything inside me called love, beautiful? I think so... I hope so!

It’s sure beautiful. But you can't compare love with anything else. And you can't trade love in order to speed up the process. You have to go through all the stages, diligently and patiently, showing some real backbone, staying in there motivated and dedicated, until its harvest time for real. Do you hear me; no discounts or shortcuts. It’s time for you to get into your personal spring season of love now. I mean now!

Walking my own love road...; digging as deep as can be there inside me, searching for what’s real me; and from there planning for how I can make a difference to people around me? And then acting accordingly? Springtime, now? It’s sure possible; I think so... I hope so!

Faith is about acting

Faith is about acting. And acting is about leaving the safe for the uncertain, having the courage to step out of your boat in order to walk on water. Acting is about revealing your love action potentials, and transforming them into personal goals one by one, before fulfilling them. That's what it's all about, what your life is all about.

Discipline can hurt, but always hurt less than the pain from living goalless and blinded together with people thinking more about them selves than about others. So, stay away from ego persons and compromisers complaining and discouraging and draining you, leading you in their direction, not in yours. And more than anything stay away from the mighty society winners, the ones with the sharp elbows and split thongs, driving expensive cars and sailing big yachts, living in nice houses with perfect wife and children inside them, the ones every day brutally stopping anyone that’s threatening their territory, their privileges, by systematically manipulating and pushing and knocking, and even killing, mentally as well as physically, whenever needed. Don’t look up to them; don’t let them infect you and mislead you, else you risk loosing all of what you have built up for years.
 
You’re every day living among imperfect people, being a part of imperfect surroundings, and imperfect societies; you will never experience being where you’d like to be. Your colleges at work don’t focus in direction love. Business is about competition; it create winners and losers. And in town, or at home in front of the papers and TV, with all the commercials telling you what’s key to your success in life. They don't care about you; they purposely try to mislead you. So, most of the time staying awake you’re actually living in environments systematically trying to keep you away from your love road.

But still, don’t invite to pity-parties; don’t search for reasons why things can go wrong. We’ve all got problems, and soon get tired of hearing yours. Instead, focus on your self, because you also are an enemy in your life, often the worst of them all, by your body autopilot reactions to new challenges, creating negative thoughts and behavior patterns that weakens your power of love.

Don’t be squeezed into the society’s mold of mediocrity; don’t act like a chicken searching for whatever eatable you can find on the ground. Listen to your inner voice of love, there where the rubber meets the road; take that high road; stand above the rest, like an eagle, by seeking the broad overview combined with a sharp focus on your next goal in life, always aiming higher. Have the courage to be different.

“I'm just an ordinary person, often lying there wounded on the ground crying for help after some kind of attack, from the society, from my colleges, yea, even from my friends and family; and from my own body as well,” you say? “I'm just one out of 6 billion tiny little puzzle pieces in this enormously big complex global life game, struggling with lot of imperfections and bad habits, with my brain full of worries and negative thoughts, feeling rather small and week. If I don’t fit into this gigantic global picture, there are thousands of others immediately ready to take my place, fitting perfectly”. Is that what you’re saying?

Please, concentrate on your precious gifts given you by birth, all the good things you represent, instead of your mistakes and shortcomings. Search upstream where your source of love comes from. Your love has always been perfect; your special way of practicing love is there always in front of you, and its perfect, being your road. We have all been given a wardrobe of love. So put on the special one designed for you, and wear it until you feel it so comfortable to walk with, fitting perfectly, totally irreplaceable, that you have no other option then every day to act as a love person!

We are all made different by purpose; don't fight against that. You carry skills that no one else holds. What you feel exited and passionate about, what you really like doing, should be your main occupation; because that's where your love road goes. In the process you have to tear down whatever boundary inside and outside you that hinders you. So get started today, by opening your gates, getting to know who you are, your talents, what’s your job here on earth, what you are called to be and do, why you’re here, your destiny; as the opposite of following the life flow uncontrolled. It's time to appreciate your self now, to become your real you.

Love and emotions

Love is a commitment, not a feeling. Your feelings, or emotions if you like, vary with your currant physical and mental health, and the situation around you, acting volatile, unpredictable, indecisive, inconsistent and contradictory, playing rather uncontrolled with you. So don’t justify your emotions; don't trust them, because they mess around with you, fickle with you, manipulate you, make you fenceless, and lead you away from who you are and what you stand for, away from your road. Instead let your emotions live their own life.

Your thong and your body language are two powerful weapons that you might use for the sake of your love; or for destroying yourself and the ones around you. Don't speak and act from impulse, from this day's or minute's various fluctuating emotions; else anything can happen to you uncontrolled ...

How to control your emotions? By seeking a quiet place where you can concentrate on calming them down, whenever needed, by constantly saying relax to them, keeping on until you feel you control them, rule over them, until you feel peace inside you, being in a stable mode, insisting on being a person of excellence, having no other choice. People with integrity always check with their inner voice of love before they decide upon how to attack important issues. So, don't push through things you don't feel good about; don't suppress your inner alerts. Stay in control mode by following your inner voice of love.

Your love is a part of you so deep inside you that nothing can take it away from you. Your love has deep roots in good ground. Your love is there always inside you; always with you; relax about that. When having faith in love, you see the big picture; then you have no problems with allowing your love to choose the timing. So, every time your love tells you it's time, it's time, even when you don't understand it. Choose your love’s timing, not your emotions’.

Your love sees around corners; your love had plans for you long before you knew it yourself; your love had the answers even before you started asking. There is nothing called a coincidence for your love. So, every time you don't feel for doing what is important to you, feeling tired, scared, or worried about what others might say or do, don't check with your feelings. Just get started, taking one step at the time, one more day staying committed, bringing you closer to your precious goals in life. You don't clean your house because you feel for it; you do it because it’s necessary. Don't get frustrated, impatient or nervous about the process, because your love is in control, always.

We are all living in a love starved society. Self centered thinking and behavior is our biggest challenge today. Our body wish to have, and our soul wish to give. Be your soul. But, you cannot give away something you feel uncertain about, or don't know of. You have to search for your love, and find it, and understand about what it represents, and appreciate it, before you can give from it to others. The cliché of having to love yourself before you can love others represents truth.

Your favor of love is a supernatural power or spirit inside you possible to see by everyone around you, by your charisma, signalizing that you are in control of the greatest power on earth. So, go for holiness; allow your love to work inside you and outside you. Use your love like having money in the bank, by cashing it in so you can make use of it. You make deposits in other person's account by acting like a love person, by being a giver. Redraws is about the receiving in return. Focus on building deposits is my advice; because you don’t need to worry about the receiving part, since the more you give the more you will receive; and you can only own what you have given.

Don't wait for that special inspiration or moment before you act. You can always reach out for your love; because it's always there, ready to be used by you. Trust your love even in situations where you don't understand your own reactions. What you don't understand put in the "don't understand file" for a while, until you are ready to reveal and discover it. You do the practicalities, and let your sphere of love do the supernatural.

Sad

I don't know why, but I'm rather often sad; yea, too often, sad. I've got everything, I mean every thing. But still often sad. Why? Well, I'm not always sad; it’s coming and going; up and down. But I can’t help it. My sadness lives its own life there inside me.

Why not being honest with yourself, you say; why not face it, open the doors for what’s your problems, for what’s really bothering you?

OK ... OK...; sheee ..., let me try. My sadness; coming and going; sheee ...; this gnawing feeling of ... loneliness, I think. And the only way of coping with it is by compensating, for me by eating junk food, so much that it stops my brain from working; plugging my thoughts. Which is better than the terrible feeling of loneliness, right? But not plugged for some hours; more like for a day or two, causing head aces, bad sleeping, and concentration problems; which leads to more loneliness, because I'm now no longer able to live a social life at all any more, not wanting others to see me in a state like that. So, leading to more sadness; until I'm so down that I just have to try to rise again, try to live a more normal life again, for a while, until the sadness once again strikes me.

Sometimes I ask myself why staying alive, since I'm obviously not able to solve this dreadful problem of mine. You know; destroying so much, destroying my joy in life; my whole life; everything! So completely waist of my short precious time here on earth. I have to concentrate on not thinking about it.

I don't know why, but I'm rather often sad; yea, too often, sad. I've got everything, I mean every thing. But still often sad. Why? Well, I'm not always sad; it’s coming and going, up and down. But I can’t help it. My sadness lives its own life there inside me.

A family from the country side

rarely heard radio and never saw TV; and they always stayed at home. But one summer day they decided to visit the city. In the city hotel hall there was an elevator. The father and his son saw an old lady walking inside this little room before the door closed; and only a minute thereafter a beautiful twenty year old girl came out. “What happened?” the son shouted out. “I don't know son, but hurry up and find your mama,” the father ordered.

Millions of heroes

Everyone can win, you also can win; it’s up to you. To win is to become number one in the competition where the only competitor is yourself; when being busy doing your best to fulfill your love goals, staying on your love road, exploring and fulfilling as many of your love action potentials as possible. So, compare and compete against yourself, not against others.

“Only some few live in the limelight, but there are millions of heroes.”

We are all made different by purpose. So have the courage to be you, different from anyone else. Uncover your hidden treasures; get to know what you are good at, talented at doing, who you are and what you can achieve. What do you see there ahead of you? Ask yourself that same question every day, so you don’t die with undiscovered treasures.

“Only some few live in the limelight, but there are millions of heroes.”

You may have a potential for contributing in more than one area. So, each time you reach one of your precious goals, give yourself a kiss and a well deserved break, before you once again start identifying, planning for, and then working for your next precious goal in life, the one that you now feel so passionate about that you can't stop yourself from fulfilling it. Decide to be a winner, staying in your purpose, walking your own special love road, becoming your perfect you. That’s where your everyday competition goes.
 
“Only some few live in the limelight, but there are millions of heroes.”

Masquerade

(The telephone rings): Hello my friend; how are you? When do you come tonight?

Hi there. Sorry, but I have to stay at home; working, you know.

At home? Working? What's up? Are you sick? You have to join the party, man. Everyone is there; having fun, wearing masks, playing roles. Masquerade. Party time, can't you feel it?? ... (sound of el. guitar, up and down).

Sorry Sam, no way for me.

You need good vibrations, man; love energy. Harts are made for love, pumping for love, do you hear me? Love is in the air. Can’t you feel it? All you need is love, love, love is all you need. (heavy music)

No masquerade for me, Sam. Gotta hang up now. Bye then, and have fun.

(Telephone rings again): Hi, it’s me again. Time to change your mind, man. Party time, can't you feel it? When do you come tonight?!

Sorry, Sam; I need to continue working; it’s important for me.

You can’t mean that; letting this stupid work of yours stopping you from having fun? Nothing is more important than that.

Sorry Sam; I'll hang up now.

Please, don't! Love is in the air man, can't you feel it? Wearing masks and playing roles. Party time. Pumping time... Masquerade ... (Sound of the operator tone).

Money

Money? Yea, I've got some of them; not enough though, never enough; still, plenty. But not bringing me one single millimeter closer to love, to love someone, and be loved in return?

“What are they all worth to me if they can’t bring me love? Real love; I mean ... life?”

My money; my cars; my beautiful flat and all the nice things inside it; having no value? Oh Lord, no value? ...

“What are they all worth to me if they can’t bring me love? Real love; I mean ... life?”

Why bother about collecting them all; why working so hard; why using all my time and energy, my whole life?

“What are they all worth to me if they can’t bring me love? Real love; I mean ... life?”

And people around me, what are they worth to me if I'm not allowed to love them. Do you hear me; can you hear me; showing me cold shoulders; cold hearts. Treating me as if I'm ... a thing.

“What are they all worth to me if they can’t bring me love? Real love; I mean ... life?”

(Shouting loud): I need love, do you hear me? Love! ”

A man asked God

what a million years is like in His kingdom: “For me it's just like a second,” God answered. Then he asked God what a million dollars is like there. “Just like one cent,” God answered. “OK then, can you please give me one cent?” the man asked. “Just a second,” God answered.

I want to be seen

See the mountains kiss the heaven; see the moonbeams kiss the sea. But, what’s it all worth to me, if you don’t see me?

What do you mean? Not seeing you?

Come here, darling.

What’s the matter?

Please; closer.

Sure; of course. OK?

Please!

OK, OK ...Relax. What’s up?

I want to be seen, do you hear me?

OK; I see you now.

I want to be seen; seen...

OK; OK. Relax. I can see you now.

Small streams mingle with the rivers, and rivers with the sea. Nothing in this world is single. Love and you will see.

OK! I can see you now... I can see ... I see ...

Spiritual maturity

Not everyone that grows old grows up; or grows mature. Growing mature is acting according to your growing faith in love. I repeat: Growing mature is acting according to your growing faith in love.

Spiritual immaturity can be recognized by behavior patterns like:

• insecurity
• emotional instability
• easily getting upset, offended, discontent and hurt
• thinking and acting selfish
• not seeing or listening to others
• playing spiritual or academical games instead of acting, making all kinds of excuses for not acting
• making decisions that lack long term goals
• overspending money, misusing food, drugs, alcohol...
• having difficulty in getting along with people, because it's always the other ones` fault
• even blaming God ...

Problems you face are usually more your own problems in relation to others than anyone else’s problem. If you constantly blame others in stead of focusing on yourself, you are not in position to grow.

Most people that hurt your feelings actually don't intend to. So, it's up to you to decide on getting hurt or not. Walking in love is about focusing on the best in others. So, separate between the issue and the person addressing it, because in most cases it’s the issue that bothers you.

Your need for seeking encouragement and approval and praising is all about insecurity, or spiritual immaturity if you like. Releasing you from that behavior is about accepting yourself, being so busy doing your own things that you have no interest in, and time for, comparing and competing against others.

Living every day together with imperfect people is about seeing and appreciating the good things they represent, the love they represent, telling them how important they are to you. As the opposite of trying to change them in your direction by picking on them, a behavior pattern that in the end will result in them turning you down anyhow. If you try to control them, you poison your relationship with them.

Living together as a couple is a risky business, about loosing control, since you are more than one making decisions about matters where you are a part of the result. You might get hurt now and then, since your love-one is different from you. And no one is perfect. And you live in imperfect environments. That’s why a normal reaction is to seek control around you, including control over your love-one. Why not instead focusing on controlling yourself? Because, when you feel control inside you, staying in your purpose, walking your own love road, you feel so strong and committed that you don't need to be a know-and-control-it-all-person. On the contrary, then you feel free to trust others, including yourself. And as a bonus, you will enjoy the trip; enjoy your life.

Active and focused

Live an active focused life. Search and you will find; give and you will get. The more you search, the more you will find. And the more you give, the more you will get. This world needs active committed love worriers; participators, not spectators.

Divide your life into phases or seasons, and be aware of each one of them by living them to the fullest. Plan your work, and work your plan accordingly; run your race against your precious goals; check every new day what’s important for you to accomplish. Live purposely and accurately, sharpened and focused like a laser beam. Why? So you can fulfill your potentials.

If you are not prioritizing, others around you will soon start influencing you in their direction. Bad company corrupts good company; people you associate with can change you quicker that you can change them. And not all changes represent growth. So evaluate your surroundings; be picky on choosing persons to associate with; choose the ones that wish you well and build you up. And be picky on choosing environments. Don't put your oak tree in a pot.

Prioritizing and simplicity also goes for things you possess. Only keep and maintain things you need and appreciate, and leave the rest. Simplicity is powerful; complexity creates unclear focus and confusion. Put the big rocks in your bag before the smaller ones. Keep your main things as your main things. Don't make a big deal about things that are not a big deal. Keep your life simple, because your love needs you focused and dedicated every day for the rest of your life.

Good habits

Good habits create new good habits; bad habits are bondages that create new bad habits. Your love insists on good habits. So starve your bad habits, and feed your good habits with more good habits.

About 90 % of your actions are done more or less automatically, by your autopilot. Habits are unconscious undisputed actions that you do routinely, on a regular basis, without thinking too much about the consequences. But they are still important actions for you, playing a major role in your life, forming your character. Having that in mind, you can purposely talk and act positively love related so often that it becomes a part of your good habits, influencing your character.

If you stick to a certain good behavior pattern for 20-30 days, it gets under your skin and becomes a good habit. And opposite; quitting a bad habit takes 20-30 days of not dealing with it. The harder it is getting rid of a bad habit, the sweeter it tastes when you succeed.

Bad things are happening to good people. That easily leads to negative thinking, bad mood and depression. But your state of mind is in principle only up to you. Let me explain: You have to search for and focus on good life in order to experience good life; you have to work for it purposely. You need good life; and you deserve it. So don't let anyone or anything steal away your joy in life. Cooperate with the positive sides of you. In more details? Your brain creates highways for how to deal with incoming information. New information will, either you wish it or not, automatically be compared with your already stored information along your brain highways. Your job is to constantly feed your brain with positive information in order to change to more positive thinking along your brain highways on a regular basis. You may call it reprogramming, because that’s what it actually is. So, start your reprogramming now, by for example proclaiming to yourself: “Now I see more of the love in everyone”. Or: “I'm not yet where I want to be, but far from where I used to be”. Or: “I'm on my way reaching my next precious goal in life”. Repeat it tens of times a day, until you don't think too much about why you now are focusing more positively goal related, and it has become a good habit for you, influencing your character.

Live your life every day as if you are in a hurry, fulfilling as many of your precious goals in life as possible. Why? Because in reality you are in a hurry, having only between 1 and some few thousand working days left on this planet in order to fulfill them.

A police recruit

was asked what he would do if he was ordered to arrest his own mother? “I would need backup, sir”; the answer came straight away.

Not friends any more?

There is something often distracting me, disturbing my focus; but so difficult to put words to, because it’s so private. But I feel it’s time now; so let me try:

My dear child, can you imagine how much I have loved you? And still love you for the sweet lovely person you have been to me all those years? From the day you were born into this world; and every day thereafter, a truly loved child. But, for all of a sudden, 18 years of age, turning away from me; turning me down? Can you imagine?

From the day you were born, how many hundreds of times have I washed and dried you, kept you warm and comfortable; nursed you when you had fever; fed you with the best food and dressed you with the best cloths to make you feel comfortable. How many hundreds of times have I stood up for you, comforted and motivated you to go on, keeping on, made you smile and laugh, built you strong physically as well as mentally? How many books I have read for you, helped you with school lessons; supported you in your training activities? How many thousands of miles have we been driving together in the cars heading for the mountains in the holidays, tracking thousands of miles there in the summertime, and skiing in the wintertime, hundreds of hours sitting up there in the downhill skiing elevators together, talking, or sitting by the mountain lakes waiting for the fish to bite, around the fireplace, barbecuing, talking, enjoying the beautiful nature; enjoying life. How many hours have we been sitting together in the airplanes, talking, until we reached our new destinations, all around the world? How many hours in the restaurants, enjoying the local tasty dishes, experiencing new cultures, talking. Yea, and how many hundreds of breakfasts and lunches and dinners have we shared together indoor in our wonderful house, or on the terrace, or in the garden, barbequing, eating and drinking and talking, enjoying life.

Listen carefully now: Everything that I've given you, and every minute I've spent together with you, I have given you by my pure love to you; by a father’s truly unconditional love to his dear child.

Have I been a good father to you? If you ask me, I would say that I have done my very best. And I have been a tremendously lucky father having you as my child, following you from being born to grownup. You have been such a lovely child to me, so precious to me.

But, so sad that we are not friends any more. So sad that you don’t want to know me for who I am, now when we both are grownups, and able to communicate and understand each other for real. Can you imagine?!

No one is perfect, you and I included. We all carry personal variations, bad habits, imperfections and limitations; some of them inherited from genes, some from our upbringing learned or enforced us by our parents and other imperfect people we have associated with; and some from living in imperfect societies, from imperfect traditions and laws and regulations, influencing our character. Nothing in this world is perfect.

So, if you search for your perfect parent or spouse or friend, you just simply demonstrate immaturity; that you lack a realistic picture of what a human being is like; what life is all about ...

Life as grownup isn’t easy; we can at least agree upon that. Living a so called grownup life, in true love to everyone around us, in this mad world completely pervaded by egoism wherever we turn, that isn’t easy...

But, I have lived together with you in true love for 18 years. So, yes, I have been lucky, very lucky. And I'm grateful, very much so. These 18 years have been good life for me, real good life; and hopefully good life for you as well.

It feels good for me to be able to bring this up into the daylight today, by giving it my own words, now 13 years after you turned me down. Because you see, from the day you were born I have done my very best; I know I have. But it has just only not been good enough for you. So from today on your negative attitude towards me is not my problem any more, only yours; because, I've done my very best.

Pride

Your pride blinds you so you only see yourself; or only parts of yourself, because you also get blinded from our own faults, overestimating yourself, imagining that you stand above others, complaining about them in stead of being grateful to them. Your pride steels away your glory of love.

You need to stay open to listen and learn; otherwise you are not in position to grow. So, don’t be too proud to ask for practical help, advice, corrections and new ideas. And remember to give credit to those helping you by thanking them when it’s time. Never forget thanking. And, be quick to say sorry when you act wrong. Stop making thin excuses and prideful statements. Show to everyone that you are a normal human being. Relax a little. Be patient with your self as well as with others.

Don't be stubborn or too argumentative; don't insist on having right all the time. Let go with the small stuff. Don't make a big deal about things that are not a big deal. Instead listen to and understand about what people around you really want to communicate to you. Leave it up to your love to decide what’s important. By doing so you are never felt as a threat to anyone; on the contrary, more like an inspiration to them to walk their own love road. By bringing up the best in them, you become a people builder. And as a bonus you make true friends.

We are all equally precious; that’s what love is all about. So, don’t put others into boxes based on their history, their ranking in the classroom, at work, in the family, on the sports arena, and so on. Treat everyone with respect, instead of limiting and criticizing them, tearing them down. Be an inspiration to them, by showing them real interest, recognizing and believing in them, giving them enough space to live their own life, allowing them to grow in their own direction, not in yours.

Hard to leave you pride, you say? Not when you know that your pride some day will lead you to uncontrolled collapse, because you build from something that has no value; that you can't avoid it from happening. So, in reality you have no other choice than some day leave your pride once and for all, because your love will bring you down to earth anyhow. And then, in the matter of seconds, you will experience loosing all of your joy in what have no real value, things that you have been working so hard for years to obtain and maintain. Including some of your so called friends as well.

So, see through your pride; swallow it the sooner the better; and in stead act as a blessed humble person; which demonstrates security and maturity, and brings you good life.

I can love

So many millions of lovely girls out there; and not one single one for me? So completely meaningless; so waste of my short precious time here on earth. Can you imagine; not being in position to experience love? So waste of my life.

Why happening to me? I need love, do you hear me; I need to loooove someone. I can loooooove.

Every day I see love around me; people walking hand in hand, stopping for a hug or a kiss, whispering some nice words to each other, laughing, enjoying life. Everywhere; in the cars, in the shops, in the parks, around each corner. So good life, what life is all about ...

Why not happening to me? I need love, do you hear me; I need to loooove someone. I can loooooove.

I know I can. Well; I have done some wrong things in my life; for sure... But not worse than most others I think? And I know I can do so much better. I know I can. I loved my wife; for some years. But we divorced; we were too different ... And I loved my children. But my children are grownup now; like me, not showing me too much love any more. I think they struggle with life. May be confused; or frustrated; or lonely, like me? Can you imagine, not being able to reach out for anyone; not anyone; living in a vacuum world; in a wrong sphere.

Why happening to me? I need love, do you hear me; I need to loooove someone. I can loooooove.

What type of girl would fall in love with a guy living in his own vacuum world? Do you hear me; having problems. So; first of all I need to love my self, I think; right? Do you hear me? Myself...

The play of the day

She: Mmmm; you’re so nice to me. I love you; love everything about you; I mean, even the things that are not perfect with you. Everything.

He: And I love you, darling. You’re the best that has happened to me. You make me feel so ... free...”

(Then his mobile phone rings) He: Sorry darling, I think I should answer it; may I?

She: Sure; of course.

(And then starts an arguing conversation in the phone):

He: Oh, hi dear; I couldn’t avoid it; I'm sorry. My boss forced me to overtime tonight; I think I have to stay in office till late night, dear. Of course, sure, I should have called; I'm sorry. Yea; but don't wait for me; I’ll be really late tonight. So, say good night to the children from me, will you; please? And you go to bed early darling, and have a good night sleep. Se you tomorrow morning. Yea; and I love you too; good night and sweet dreams (sound of hanging up tlf).

She: Last time together you promised me to tell your wife about us; tell her that you should leave her; tell her everything; don’t you remember?

He: Sure darling; yea. I'm sorry, but I've been too busy.

She: Busy? Is that what you have been?

He: And tired. You see, my mother came to visit us this week, unexpectedly; stayed for 3 days; and my daughter has been sick, with high fever. So, completely impossible, darling. I'm sure you understand.

She: Impossible? Is that what it is; impossible?

(Sound of CNN in the TV): And this was CNN with the play of the day. I'm Wunderbaum, serving you a brand new play of the day every day. So stay tuned.

Who Jesus really was?

Who Jesus really was? There are at least three evidences that He was black, because:

• He called everyone brother, and
• the authorities always bothered Him, and
• He never experienced fair court proceedings

Even though there are strong indications Him being an Italian, because:

• He always gesticulated when He was talking, and
• He consumed wine for every meal, and
• He was sure that His mama was a virgin, and His mama sure that He was God

But still, facts go in direction of Him being a Californian, because:

• He never cut His hair, and
• He always went barefoot, and
• He founded a new religion

But, most likely He was a woman, because:

• He was forced to feed a lot of people in a short time, even though there were nearly no food around; and
• He made a lot of attempts trying to be taken seriously by the older men, but did not succeed; and
• He was even forced to arise again after His death, because there were still plenty of duties for Him waiting.

Prisoner of your past

Are you bitter from having bad experiences? Have you been betrayed, deceived, burned, mistreated or abused in the past? If you didn’t have a good start in life, you certainly deserve a good finish. If no one stood up for you, its time for you to change that situation, now. So stop mourning over your past; stop being influenced and lead by mistakes and shortcomings from others. The choice is yours about staying bitter or getting better. The only one you can change is yourself.

Today is thousands of miles away from yesterday; yesterday never comes back. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. So don't be trapped in your past; don't store and carry past miseries, don't go full of pity-parties and frustration and bitterness; don't let the past poison your future. Instead get up from your ashes; let go with the old stuff; quit thinking and talking about it. But learn from it so your new life can start today.

As grownup most of your problems have root in how you treat yourself. When you focus on your love inside you, you are in love mode, and can act and grow accordingly. When you focus on your old problems, you sit there stuck and trapped in your rocking chair, not coming one millimeter further in your life. Don't be the person that lost experiencing and practicing love. Instead, focus on what life is all about; on how and where you can make a difference by walking on your own special designed love road, by being a catalyst for love in the way that you are meant to be and do.

Come closer

I love you!

OK?

I love you; do you hear me? I love you!

OK. OK. I hear you. But yesterday we quarreled like hell; you saying so much stupid to me, calling me ... yea, whatever; so much wrong said about me, so far from who I am; so unacceptable.

I'm sorry. Please, forgive me. Come here; closer. I love you.

What’s up, darling? What's the matter with you tonight?

Closer ...; please ...

What do you want? Well, I think I know what you want.

I love you, darling. Can't you hear me?

Seriously? Are you serious this time?

Yes, of course.

What do you really want?

I want YOU baby; can't you hear me? I want you around every day for the rest of my life. Don’t you know? I love you.

Well, I hear what you’re saying ...

I want to give you my love; my whole life!

Seriously?

As serious as can be. I am in love with you; can't you hear me?

OK; OK. But how can I be sure this time?

Because I'm telling you that I'm in love with you!!

OK; but yesterday we quarreled like hell.

I loooooove you ... Can't you hear me... ?

Forgiving

You will experience getting hurt now and then, from everyone; even from your closest ones; that’s how it is. No one is perfect; you included. We all make mistakes sometimes. So, give people around you enough space to be a human being.
 
How to cope with being hurt? By deciding to forgive; and from there lifting yourself up where you belong, always aiming higher, for better, never bitter. When being an active love worrier you cannot carry bitterness and burned records; you have to let them all go.

Forgiveness also means forgiving yourself for whatever wrong you have done in the past. Instead learn from it all, and go on with your life. Losers talk about what they have been going through; winners talk about what they are going to do.

Some days are harder to cope with than others; we all know about that. But bear in mind that your most challenging day practicing love always feels better than the best day without practicing love. Your choice is easy, even on days when you feel things are going against you.

Forgiving should be complete forgiveness, by dropping and forgetting about it all; instead of nursing it, rehearsing it and cursing it. But forgiving is pardoning someone, not paying for others bad behavior. Forgiving releases you from that person's problems; not forgiving ties you to that person's problems.

Your love needs you active every day; it needs and demands forgiveness. Your power of love will weaken if you don’t forgive. Any active problem you try to hide from and bury will stay alive inside you, have power over you, poison your spirit, block your ability to practice love, until you let it all go. So, don’t sit there every day using energy on the same issue, getting nowhere. Instead, decide upon being a victor, not a victim.

The name of Jesus’ parents

The teacher asked the kinder garden class what Jesus mother's name was. “Mary,” one boy answered. “You're right,” the teacher encouraged him. “But what is the name of Jesus´ father then?” “Virgi,” the boy answered. “Virgi? Where have you got that from?” The teacher asked. “Everyone talks about Virgi´n Mary,” the boy answered.

Seeking silence

Silence; what’s in it for me? Seeking silence for no reason; I mean, doing nothing, doesn’t make sense, right. Everything I do and say must have a reason or a meaning, a goal linked to it; otherwise I risk loosing against the many ego-evolutionary processes staying alive inside and outside me, continuously trying to mislead me.

Love, in the same way as silence, obviously a powerful feature since it’s still going strong among all those tough and scrupulous competitive evolutionary processes. What about love and silence combined; together maybe so powerful that I'm able to block some of my worst egoism contaminated brain highways, right? And thereby also damaging egoism around me? Using silence, giving myself time and space, purposely, in order to build new strength and clear focus on my next precious goal in life?

Am I right about this? What is right and what is wrong in this completely confusing complex egoism pervaded global life game?

Communication

Children I feel comfortable with. If I treat them well, I mean take them seriously, they treat me well in return; always. Children are a blessing to us grownups. They show us their love so openly, to everyone that deserves it, to those able to communicate with them, showing them love and respect.

Grownups however are a different story. Whatever I do or say, I almost always end up being misunderstood and criticized; or worse, not heard or seen at all. What’s wrong with us grownups? Don’t we treat each other with love and respect? When in life are we grownups? Is there a goal in itself being grownup?

Life flows; each and every one of us is every day influenced by multiple parallel complex continuously changing processes inside and outside us. Immediately after something is said or written, its history, and the basis for the communication changed. In addition to the fact that the basis for whatever communication is different for all participants in the first place. So, can you imagine why communication between grownups is complicated; why grownups always disagree, why they so often fail in showing each other love and respect?
 
My love I feel comfortable with; it’s always there inside me in a stable mode, having this same pure quality and infinite quantity; the most precious gift given us all by birth; bringing real value to life. My love doesn’t flow; as simple as that. So, is our grownup life today so complex just because we make life so complex; because we choose wrong foundation for our life; live outside our own love sphere most of the time, and therefore also outside everyone else's love sphere? And, on the other hand, children’s lives so much more uncomplicated and straight forward because they always choose their love sphere as default basis; I mean, whenever we treat them with love and respect? Why can't we grownups learn from our children, and choose our love sphere as default foundation when communicating and acting together? Does communication between grownups need to be so complex?

Where are you father?

Where are you, father? So sad that you went away so early in my life. I long for you; I need you; right now.

I am here, my dear child; always here for you.

Father? Where?

Here; always here for you.

But where? Where have you been all those years?

I'm here whenever you need me; I'm always here for you.

Always? Here?

Whenever you need me.

But where, father?  Where are you now? Helloooo?

The answer lies inside you, my dear child. I'm here for you, whenever you need me ...

Hello? Once again gone? ...

You make your own legacy

How you act and speak influence everyone around you. But it also influences your self. If you are busy building up others, you automatically also build up yourself. And when tearing down others, you also tear down yourself.

People are watching you; especially your children; you affect them every day of your life; you are an example to them, either you wish it or not. Ask yourself regularly what you are passing down to them.

When changing from a receiver to a giver, you automatically also change those who receive into givers; and thereafter new receivers into new givers ... It’s an investment to those after you in generations to come. You make your own legacy.

Loneliness

This is an important message to each and every one of you, and to small and big organizations as well; and to governments of all sizes, all around the world: If your privileges make life so much more pleasant and nice and easy for you than for everyone around you, and you insist on not sharing, you have to use a lot of time and energy to protect them all. And the more privileges you possess, the more powerful stronger you have to build your defense systems, and the more of your time and energy it steals away from you. In order to prepare and motivate your defense organization to be on constant alert, you have to train and exercise it, every day. Only by real action can you prove to your surroundings that you are capable of defeating everyone that is threatening your privileges. Else they are soon gone. That's how rich people live today; and rich organizations live today; and rich nations and groups of rich nations live today, all over the world.

The safest way to loneliness is by keeping everything for yourself.

United States have to organize and practice regular war programs for their defense systems, or attack systems if you like, all around the world, in order to keep each and every soldier on constant alert, motivated to fight, with all necessary defense and attack systems in use, showing no fear, signalizing undefeatable strength to everyone, to friend and enemy, to everyone all around the world that’s threatening to their privileges. But never war on own soil, only on others, such as in Latin America, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and so on... For how long can United States maintain its unique privileged position? Not for so long any more, if you ask me, since guerilla worriers, or terrorists if you like, all around the world in the end will find their way to fight back, so also on US soil, by massive killing of innocent civilians, in the same way as Americans today kill innocent civilians on foreign soil on a massive scale, directly and indirectly. It’s soon over now; it’s time to share privileges now, equally, 100 percent equally, with everyone, all around the world; now. Not only for United States time to share equally, but for all privileged nations time to share; and for all privileged organizations and persons also time to share, 100 percent equally; now.

The safest way to loneliness is by keeping everything for yourself.

The pope

One night after a long meeting, the Pope wanted to drive the car himself back to his Hotel. On His way home the car was stopped by the Police for driving too fast. The police officer got really upset by recognizing the Pope in the driver seat, and ran to his Police chef near by. “What's the matter,” the chief wondered. “W w w.. ell Sir, there must be a v v v... ery very prominent person sitting in the back seat of that car over there, because it's the Pope that is the driver.”

My garden of love has gone

A church is built in the midst of the field, just where I used to play. And the gates are closed with big shields above: “YOU SHALL NOT” is what they say.

My garden of love is gone; gone. My garden of love is gone.

Freedom, equality and brotherhood

Freedom, equality and brotherhood. Noble words, right? But what’s in them, the message today? Let me try:

Freedom; within the society’s laws and regulations being allowed to act in the way that I feel important, with joy and enthusiasm, making a difference to others, according to my precious goals in life.

And equality; all of us equally free to act.

And brotherhood; about giving, and thereby receiving in plenty fold back, acting as brothers and sisters, to the benefit of each other.

Freedom, equality and brotherhood ...; about practicing unconditional love...

Which also is what politics is all about, right? Fighting for building societies where we all are all equally free to walk our own love road, as brothers and sisters, all active in transforming this ego-pervaded global society into a paradise on earth.

So, there goes a straight line from freedom to politics, right; with every link in the chain, every one of us, practicing unconditional love.
 
Freedom, equality and brotherhood ...; about practicing unconditional love...

Love is like a red rose

Your love is like a red rose fully sprung in June. A sweet romantic melody, so softly played a tune. Your dear true love has won my heart; all doubts in me are gone. For me exchanging I with love, the best of bargains done...

I know the way the river flows; but that's not the way love goes; right? I need your help to understand it ...

Up hills and valleys, dales and fields, with trees and roses, roads of leaves; above the clouds where skies are blue, that’s the place for me and you.

Hey, no doubt I wanna love you so; so much in me say yes; but some say no ... I need your help to understand it ...

Hssssh, can't you hear, the soft melody, my heart in yours, in harmony; cause mine you’ve won; that deal is done, all doubts in me are gone.

With God as witness I wanna love you so. But love, where are your roads to go? May be I'll never understand it ...

Hssssh, like the clock, our hearts beat as one. One hand, one soul, two hearts becoming one. Till the mountains rè flat, and the seas rè dry, and the sands of life are gone...
