Powerful Affirmations

\

Affirmations are very powerful and can change your life. I made this video to help you understand why it's a good idea to use them as much as possible.

Fuel

Fuel.. You need it so that you never give up on making your dreams come true and so that you never stop improving yourself.

How to get fuel

I want you to think about every person that
ever belittled you or that
made you feel bad about yourself.
Recall how they made you feel. Now use that
as fuel for your fire.
You can use it as fuel by instead of letting it
make you bitter, you use it as motivation &
inspiration to achieve great things in life.
Now say; thank you for fueling my fire
to all those people. Because of them you will never
give up when it comes to improving yourself
and making your dreams come true.
They helped you become a good, strong, compassionate, successful person.
They helped you rise.
Now let them go. Forgive them.
Now you are both free from the past
and empowered (fueled) by it.
That's the way to fuel your fire.
Never hold a grudge.
Never let anybody tell you what you can't do.
You can do anything you set your mind to. Think positive.
The best revenge is being happy and being
able to live your dream because you never quit,
because you let all that shit encourage you
instead of break you.

Up Close & Personal

Once you realize that everything is nature, everything is connected, has a place & a purpose in the web of life then you can see the beauty & divinity of it all. And when you can see that then you know.. That you don’t have to take things seriously and that all you really have to do is just be yourself and enjoy.

This is so important because it means that you ultimately become your own resource of emotional freedom and truth. —  Adyashanti

Just love

Scott Stabile holding his book "Just love".

Love what could possibly matter more? Love is always the answer. Love is everything. Love is the key to peace, happiness and prosperity.

I looooooooooooooove, love and I always get a huge smile on my face when I see other people who are also spreading the message of love (love is the message and message is love).

Today I bumped into Scott Stabile his Facebook Page.

From what I heard Scott Stabile his book is PURE LOVE and so I just had to share it on my blog (which is all about love). 

What people like Scott Stabile do is help other people feel better about themselves and the world. They inspire and lift people's spirits by making them more aware of their infinite potential.

We can only lead by example. And from what I can tell, Scott Stabile is a great example of love, a beam of wisdom and a great rolemodel. 

Scott, you are an inspiration to me and many others! Thank you for being you and sharing your love and wisdom! 

It's really kind of self-love that I am expressing right now, I think, lol, because I see so much of myself in him. I'm also a writer. I have also written a book about the power of love and I love speaking at events too.

Anyways, since this blog post is basically about writers, books that are all about the power of love, I figured why not share the 'rough draft' online version of my own book "Find your strength in love".

Basically, the book is about the power of love and how with it you can change everything.

It contains articles, poems and quotes that were written by me over the years. They are pretty much all about the power of love.

Please note that this free version is a rough draft. It's not perfect and may contain some (or many, lol) errors.

You can download or view the book here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zaja61y13pech6f/Findyourstrengthinlove.pdf?dl=0

If you like the rought draft then you can always consider buying the finished version of my book. You can purchase it here: http://www.amazon.com/Find-your-strength-love-Joosten/dp/1503252868/

One more thing.. I wanna talk a little bit about Tumblr since it has become one of my favorite ways to share my work with other people. I really love Tumblr. They now also have an instant messaging system (yay).

One of my quotes about suffering actually seemed to have gone viral on Tumblr.

I actually kinda rewrote my "How To Go From Rags To Riches" article (it's a bit longer now) and submitted it to The Awakened State tumblr page. You can find the article here: http://theawakenedstate.tumblr.com/post/132897983065/how-to-go-from-rags-to-riches

Interesting read.. Since it's pretty much all about how with the power of love you can change your life, forever.

Open your heart

It's so cool how certain insights (or wisdom if you will) can make you go from feeling down to feeling really happy.

I actually had a fantastic day, I feel incredibly grateful and happy, but some things happened that, to me, were things that could make me feel sad & down for a while as long as I choose to take those things personal and as long as I choose to hold on to the negative feelings & emotions that were triggered by these people & events.

Only I didn't take it personal, and I didn't hold on to the negative feelings that were triggered by what happened because quite quickly, I received insights that made me feel even better about today (and life) and this left me feeling even more blessed & free.

Isn't that amazing though? How just having the required wisdom can keep you from feeling sad & down about certain things that happened in the past or even today.

Wisdom can make you so happy, peaceful, calm and leaves you feeling blessed & free, but what is wisdom? It's healed wounds. Because the fact of the matter is, you are whole, you are the source of it all and only your love can complete things and only your wisdom (your perception) can make life seem beautiful, wonderful and magical.

It doesn't matter where you are now. It doesn't matter what you have. What matters, when it comes to being happy, is your ability to make things seem wonderful in your own eyes (even when they aren't). In this lies true freedom if you ask me. Because nobody can take away that ability, nobody can take away your love, nobody or nothing can take away your happiness unless you let them. Happiness & peace is your responsibility.

And so I say, develop your ability to turn things into gold. And as far as I know, only your heart can see the true beauty in things, only your heart can complete things, only your love can make everything right.

Your love, your heart.. Is your salvation :). Open your heart. That's the best advice one could ever give you when it comes to being happy, free and peaceful.

Paris terror attacks

Join me and send positive vibes & love to Paris and all others who are in need of love at the moment. 

What we currently know about the terror attack in Paris:

• Death toll reported at 127 following a series of coordinated terror attacks around Paris on Friday evening. Over 200 victims were wounded, 80 seriously, according to police sources.
• Prosecutor's office: 8 extremists dead, 7 of them using suicide vests,the AP reports. Authorities are hunting for possible accomplices.

• French President François Hollande has declared a state of emergency, closed French borders and mobilized 1,500 troops to Paris streets. 

• Among the dead, French media says around 80 concertgoers were killed during a siege at Bataclan concert hall. The U.S. band, Eagles of Death Metal, were performing a sold-out concert at the venue, which is near the offices of Charlie Hebdo.
• French police also confirm three casualties following a bombing at GateJ of Stade de France football arena, north of Paris, during a France-Germany friendly match. 
• Two gunmen opened fire at Le Carillon Bar before crossing the street to Petit Cambodge restaurant in Paris's 10th district. Attacks also reported at Les Halles bar and Belle Equipe bar, BBC says.

• President Barack Obama vows to do "whatever it takes" to bring terrorists to justice.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this brutal attack and their beloved ones. 

Horrible things like this should remind us that Its time to unite and fight for a better world. For a save world. For our children. For humanity!

"Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace" ~ John Lennon

We can put an end to such senseless violence by choosing to not live in fear and exclude certain people. Instead, we should try to be an example of love and unite with others so that we together may focus on building a more peaceful world. 

The best thing you can do is let what happened in Paris inspire & motivate you to be the change and to make change happen.

It's okay to be sad about what happened, but don't let it defeat you, let it instead strengthen & encourage you, so that still something good can come out of what happened in Paris. 

You are whole

You are already whole. All there is left to do is enjoy, play, be.

This message of Jim Carrey (watch the video) says everything I wanna say about this subject. I couldn´t have said it better myself.
