‘To hold nothing back means to live wholeheartedly. It’s the presence required to experience Oneness. In such moments, we stumble through the bottom of our pain into the enormity of life.’- Mark Nepo

If you want to enjoy your life, do not hold anything back. Whatever you are going through in your life, in your career, you are not alone. You can go through it.

Be proud of yourself. Do not let anyone put you down. Because you are here to live, not to endure your life.

If you are not living your life, you are enduring your life. That is not what God created you to do with your life.

God created you to multiply. And if you are not growing, you are not living your life. Why is that? Because life is about moving forward. Life is about growing.

When you hold something back, it does not matter what it is, you are hiding your real self. You are hiding your light. You are hiding your growth. You are not proud of yourself. You do not believe in yourself.

Isn’t that too much for you?

Life is not perfect. Yes, life is hard. But you can make your own life better. To do that, do not focus on what isn’t working for you. Instead, focus on what is working for you. In other words, focus on the bright side of life.

Live your life wholeheartedly!

To Know Others, You Must First Know Yourself

‘Knowing ourselves thoroughly is how we clean our lens, and when we clean the lens that is the self, we’re ready to receive everything that is beyond us.’- Mark Nepo

If you want to know the world, if you truly want to experience the world around you, you must first know who you, where you are, what you want, and where you are going.

‘Look with love’, not hate. Mark writes, ‘Our best chance to find the Oneness of Life is by looking with love into everything and everyone we meet.’

When you meet people, to know them really well, do not judge them. Instead of judging them, try to know them. To do that, you must first know yourself.

Say yes to yourself. Say yes to your life. When you say yes to your life, you are receating your life. According to Mark Nepo, ‘Looking with love is a form of saying yes. We give give birth to everything we look at with love, including our own soul.’

If you want to be successful in your life, in your career, and in your relationships, you must look at them with love. Why is that? Because love is life. Love is light.

Remember, where there is light, darkness disappears. When you look at yourself with love, fear disappears.
