Manifesting Success | Other articles by Alejandra Armas

Sometimes, we may not understand some situations in life... Sometimes we may feel hurt or affected...

When issues arise and our personalities don't seem to be able to understand, we should remember: Virtues. A great person is one that, no matter what the test, will stand strong in integrity and virtues. A situation fulfills its destiny when everyone involved can learn from it. When everyone involved can take advantage of it. Then we grow together. Then we support each other. One day, one person may appear to be weak: that is the day we are to support that person with love and compassion and with simple acts, like a smile, a hug, a supporting hand, or advice-- that will encourage this person to grow, to learn, to be uplifted to what he or she really is. We should do this, for one day, it may be us being tested, and we will need the same encouragement…the same smile, some eyes that appeared bright and shinny: just ready to support us! There are not real mistakes but the lack of learning. There is not wrong or right, but the lack of light and love in a situation. Where do we stand? When a person seems weak, how can we help this person grow taller, such as to reach the STARS?

Allowing someone to see the light, from a place of compassion and mercy, of understanding and tolerance, will nurture the soul of this being: This person will never forget that; when he or she is gone from this life, from this world, he or she will take that along, because it reached the soul.

Some situations may be difficult, but they do teach us and mold us into better people, People of Goodwill. Ponder on this, when something is being stretched, it is forced to grow and become bigger, this may create some pain to the object that is being stretched, yet, after all this object has become bigger. If our hearts seem to be stretched by a given situation we should think: yes it is sad and painful, YET now the heart is bigger and it can fit more people in, more love in. It can channel more.

Diamonds are
created under heat and pressure. UNIQUE DIAMONDS are created under UNIQUE CONDITIONS. We are all diamonds in the process.

When difficult situations arise, always remember this; avoid reacting with a negative emotion. Just try, do your best. Then you will always know you are in the right place. During a difficult situation, stop for a minute and think on what could learned from it, if you see the lesson behind you'll have transformed the situation from Difficulty and Negativity to Goodness. Then Goodness will ALWAYS triumph. You will have broken through; broken through the veil of illusions and preconceived ideas and prejudices, broken through negativities. You will have freed yourself, finding a lesson, knowing there's always a good reason for everything to happen and placing yourself in a place of cooperation and compassion. More relaxed, now you can open your wings and soar!

Let someone know --today-- that you honor his or her place, and wish this person a better reality, a better world to live in. Just close your eyes, and wherever this person may be, just wish him or her clarity, higher understanding and inner peace. Wish this person what you wish for yourself… she or he is also a diamond in the making… like you and me.

We are not separated. The drops of water in the ocean are not separated and they create a whole, a vast unbreakable force!... We are ALL here together in this wonderful world and we are one in the world: WE ARE ONE! Therefore, if I grow, you grow, and if you grow I grow. If I hurt you I am hurting myself. Let all the lessons in our life teach us, let all the situations we see and encounter make us grow. Let us give each other a hand and grow together. United we stand, Divided we fall. When we humans are able to grasp this infinite amazing concept, we will transcend to a place of Greatness, and will finally achieve Peace.

May we understand that we all have our own little bag on our backs... our own backgrounds, upbringings... that what seems to be wrong in the other person is not more than just a difference between the the two relating. Life is wonderful, it may seem a difficult subject in the school of Manhood, but it should indeed be enjoyable and we should all remember:

WE WILL ALL GRADUATE WITH HONORS!

There is no life like yours, Enjoy it!

"Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal."

"When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter.

As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself.

As you think of him, you will think of yourself.

Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself, or lose yourself.

[...] In truth, you and your brother stand together with nothing in between"
