My heart, do not take pride in every thought,
do not flutter like a moth around every light.
Until you know yourself
you will be distant from God.
– Rumi

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.
– Albert Einstein

Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.
– Michael Pritchard

Everything, every moment, every person, every stirring in your heart
matters. Let yourself love and value life, and be overjoyed at the
positive difference that each of your moments can make.
– Ralph Marston

Just because everything is different doesn’t mean anything has changed.
– Irene Peter

Shifting your perception is the only change that you can affect.
– Carson’s Commentary

If you can stop for a moment in your thinking and your questing and
listen to the silence, you may start becoming aware of many levels of
consciousness. You may become aware that you are on all levels of Light
simultaneously. The trick is to learn to shift your awareness to where
you wish to be.
– John-Roger, from Loving Each Day, Volume 1, p. 247

I am you.
You are me.
Wherever you go,
there I am.
I am strewn everywhere.
Everywhere you collect me.
And as you do,
you recollect yourself.
– Gnostic Gospel of Eve

Have you ever felt like you don’t matter?  Maybe you sometimes
feel as though you are invisible?  What about those times when
your heart feels alone and unloved?  

There are people who do not listen no matter how clearly or loudly you
may be speaking to them.  For now, we are not talking about
them.  We are talking about the other side of that situation…
that’s the part where you are not, for whatever reason, letting others
know what you need.

What are some reasons you have, that you allow to keep yourself from asking others for their help in meeting your needs?  
Asking for your needs feels selfish?  Asking for help leaves you
feeling weak or helpless?  Asking for anything from anyone leaves
you feeling vulnerable?  Maybe you don’t like that feeling of
obligation that sometimes occurs when people do you a favor?

Sometimes we expect others to know what we need without us having to
speak it.  Observe yourself in the next few days.  What other
reasons do you find for keeping silent and allowing yourself to go
through your life feeling as though your needs are being ignored?
