Grief is completely normal. Don’t suppress it, for many people who suppress it end up self medicating or becoming ill. Feel the emotions of grief, let it out, replace it with joyful memories, but let it last for a season, not a lifetime. The grief may come back at times, but if you’re depressed and in despair for years, you let the season last too long. Your loved ones who passed on would say, it’s been too long, now get back up, you have a life to live and happiness lies ahead. Danny G.Â
Thought for Today
The process of healing is not about ignoring the challenges, or burying your emotions. It’s about processing your feelings productively and meaningfully. It’s about feeling the emotions, understanding them and creating greater self awareness and a new perspective, not bound by limitations, but by strength, faith and persistence. Danny G.Â
Quote for Today
The wise soul doesn’t only respect you at the top of a mountain. He accepts you when you’re at your lowest point. Danny G.Â
Thought for Today
A young soul says I am above you because of my status, my bank account or my occupation. The old soul says, we’re not different since we all originate from the same source. We’re simply on different paths. Danny G.Â
Thought for Today
The shallow ones don’t want to be seen with the homeless, the addict or the mentally ill. The egoless ones would say, I accept you as you are. I accept your trauma and your imperfections. We’re simply on different journeys. Danny G.Â
Thought for Today
One can appear on top of the world and still face insecurities and lack of confidence. And one can appear frail, weak and misunderstood, but inside, he is strong, sturdy and brilliant. Danny G.Â
Thought for Today
Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up, nor does it mean condoning others’ behavior. It means no longer resisting or fighting your problems. It means seeking inner peace and clarity despite the adversities pressing you down. Once you accept, creating your reality comes from a space of stillness rather than chaos. Danny G.Â
Thought for Today
Accept each season with loving arms. Know that yesterday’s choices were ideal at that time. The only time you need to revisit your decisions is for personal and spiritual growth. If you’re revisiting your past out of anger, resentment or guilt, you’re only staying stuck in the past and you stunt growth. Once you learn the lesson, move on, be the best you and know that your choices today may be different than yesterday. That’s ok, because life is always changing and evolving and so are you. Danny G.Â
Thought for Today
Some people don’t want to be fixed. Some are too stuck in their old ways, while others simply don’t want the help. Accept that, and know that this is an imperfect world with imperfect people. If you let it, that burden can become yours. Acceptance is sometimes the greatest gift. Danny G.Â
Thought for Today
Showing compassion and empathy means accepting everyone’s journey. That means accepting different philosophies, religions and worldly views. What works for some may not work for everyone. Saying this is the one and only path causes division and separation. We need to accept contrast and evolution. Contrast says everyone has the right to their beliefs and pathway. Evolution says everything is evolving and changing. Therefore what worked yesterday or thousands of years ago may not work today. Without evolution, there would be no creation and that defies life, because life is about change. Danny G.Â
