To the Anonymous.
Indeed one have to take off one’s mask to see.
Who looks for, finds, we say here in France. Maybe you heard about the sentence?
Moreover, when one says “there’s nothing” what can life can give to him, but nothing, nada zero..?
Why would life give answers to a man or a woman that does not even recognize the Creation She built..?
Tell me.
Gratefully.
It’s the belief in mankind.
The belief that all human beings together form god.
We can create and destroy.
We can love and hate.
We can sin and forgive.
It’s the belief that good will beat evil.
(That’s what keeps me away from suicide and motivates me to carry on fighting for a better world.)
Quelle est cette force qui nous maintient debout et qui nous fait avancer malgrès tout nos faux pas, nos trébuchements et nos errances?
Pour ma part, je pense qu’on n’a rien a prouver, et je l’e prouve.
tout est écrit, Maktub
dans les livres,
dans le ciel,
dans nos coeurs, dans un sourire, dans une larme, dans le chant d’un oiseau,
tout est posé, il faut juste relever,
prendre, apprendre, se reprendre,
sans se méprendre, se comprendre et s’éprendre.
superposé, il suffit de révéler.
Peace off

A grande força da minha vida é a luz de Deus e a amorosa dedicaçao dos Mestres Ascensos da Grande Fraternidade Branca que dedicam suas vidas ao serviço do planeta terra e de toda a humanidade na esperança que um dia todos sejamos portadores de luz.. sao eles que me inspiram e me impulsionam a ser um ser melhor e a dedicar a minha vida ao Serviço é com fé e amor que tento evoluir espiritualmente e cumprir minha missao na terra e o plano Divino que deus me concedeu.. espero poder sempre partilhar tudo o que sei com todos os seres que comigo andam pelas estradas da vida.. todos os GUERREIROS DA LUZ
To become aware who I am and to improve on it. Next life I will do the same so I become better and better and better.
I would like to answer my love for humanity, but I am afraid it is only my curiosity in what man will do next
Thank you from the bottom of my Heart for your answers.
I love you.
Naive curiosity and a pursuit for love.
Simple, perhaps, but what else can it be? I’m agnostic for good reason.
It’s a good question Paulo to bring people to the table to express their answers. But it is a deceiving question because there is no such thing as a “driving force” in one’s life.
It is an illusion to distract people from their lives.
There is nothing there Paulo and with all due respect the others other than you and me. The search for answers distracts us from living and living is what life throws at us.
But what about all the unanswered questions everyone has? I do not know. Do you?
My driving force is fantasy and the love of life.
Creation.
Laura.
Well-said Michaela!
The driving force in my life is knowing there is always more to learn about myself and the world I live in.
Discovery is exciting!!
search and trial
i am still searching for the what to call a driving force in my life, all i know is that it is there; namless it is but it is there ad i am trying to put my finger o it
Ivanka,
You’ve not communicated,
You’ve judged,
but it’s OK,
it’s funny,
I’m touched.
Don’t take it personally,
I’m through,
I love You anyway,
it’s true.
:-)ha, ha, ha,:-)
lots of love

My curiosity.to live…is my driving force..I love to be on a journey, and I think that everyday is a journey through my life. Everyday gives me something new to reflect on. One day it is love, the next anger, another one it is fear or grief or hapiness and so on..Everyday brings a special meeting whatever it is..but it gives me the very special meeting with myself…
Take care..
to prove my worth to the world. i will continue to drive and i will succeed
just watch
;)
Ivanka,
The letters of the name mean Nothing in merely expressing the singular energy giving birth to duality – thus developing a triplicity, veiled behind the four virtues associated with that name.
‘Acceptance of me the way i am’ is the only drive keeping me Alive.
lovely agniezska,
why do i check on people how do they react?
cause i guess thats the purpose of blogging…dont y think so? in the blog u read other peoples’ comments, cause u have no other way how to interact with them, just tru “screen”
in real life u listen to them, look into eyes, observe body language…
and believe me, life is not one man show, human being is social individual…u just cant ignore answers for meanningful questions…can u?
I cant..
have a brilliant day,
cheers
respect,
i.
Learning to trust God and living by His will is the driving force to my life. That is what defines me.
God Bless you paulo!
Thank you
Mis Ideales, Mis Valores. Mis Creencias.
Que otra fuerza podría impulsarme? Those are more than enough to know that in life theres lots to risk but your beliefs, your ideals are those you must die for.
Paulo,
Whats your driving force in life?
Ivanka, it’s a pleasure to be able to give someone a moment of “joy”. You are right, to read the comments… shows a lot from a person’s character.
Ivanka,
Why do you check on people,
on how they react,
instead of living
your own,
inventive life?
:-)
love
Agnieszka
PEACE
above all
peace with myself
peace with others
peace between one another and the natural world
we need to end this destructive cycle of obtaining absolute power by trying to conquer and control other people, ideas, and the world around us. when our minds, hearts, and bodies are at peace with one another only thing will we be able to fully experience that which we wish for… love, truth, beauty, happiness
A.V.C.,
i can figure out many things, but cant figure out what AVC stands for?:)
in case u wanna disclose it, u know that where u will find me…(skype i guess)
cheers to all people connected and filled with infinite energy
luv
i.
to Wanblliska,
i have answered the question very much, just my answer is not anymore strategically positioned anymore (which means nor begining nor end of list).so have a look once again and u will find out what is my driving force..and it is awarnes…
cheers
lots of luv
Fun and surprises.
To Ivanka,
…and some talk about what others should have done, without answering the question. ;)
Lol
This is for ‘A’
Someone will come, you just have to know how to recognize them when they do. You are not alone, and you are not the first to go through what you are going through. What you said reminded me of a story I heard a long time ago:
A man was stuck at the bottom of a hole. He looked up and saw a priest walking by. “Hey Father, can you help me? I am stuck in this hole” he said to the priest. The priest said a prayer and continued walking.
Later he saw a doctor walking and yelled up “Hey doc, I am stuck in this hole, can you help me”. The doctor took out his pad and wrote a prescription and dropped it down the hole to the man.
Some time after that he saw an old friend and yelled up to him “hey buddy, I am stuck in this hole can you help me?”
His buddy then jumped down in hole with the man. The man looked at his friend as said “Great..now we are both stuck down in this hole”.
His friend looked at him and said “True, but I have been in this hole before, and I know the way out”.
There is someone in your life who has been in that same abyss, and they can help you find the way out. Don’t loose hope, hope is great thing, and great things never die.
Ivanka,
And some people write their conclusions with respect to what they figure that they have figured out about what other people figure, in spite of having so little to base their conclusions upon, and then go further to tell those other people what they figure that they should do and how they should be.
That is also impressive, I figure.
:)
To learn how to live in balance
hi A!
guess what, i’ve been through that ‘darkeness’ too so many times before. i’ve had 2 suicide attempts before and my latest depression took me 2 years to recover. well, it’s just a matter of shifting your perspective. really. your mind is powerful enough to make negative thoughts, but i tell you, positive thoughts are much much stronger and more powerful! u can change that in a second. one thing is to not think of those negative thoughts anymore, dont let them control you, u must be the master. it took me two years because i allowed to prolong it. it’s really okay to feel angry, why not??? according to the faeries oracle:
grief usually starts with “shock/denial, anger/guilt, emotional storm, then comes acceptance, regaining of perspective, the beginning of healing, and deepening of our capacity to love.”
i hope this could help bring out your own “flashlight” in your walk thru darkness! well, just think of happy thoughts from now on. altho i know it’s hard to listen to some stranger’s advice, but life is really amazing, trust me, i’ve been there. time to count your blessings, especially the ‘small’ ones that your taking for granted. i know you know how to love deeply. just start with yourself first, okie?
BIG HUGs!!! ;)
every time i wake up, what propels me to get up from my bed is the excitement of expecting something wonderful about to come. i want to experience something beautiful everyday. i really love surprises and i enjoy how life can be very unpredictable. i would always look for something that would make me feel good and make the most out of it. even simplest and smallest things could make me jump with joy, like seeing a butterfly or shells or moonbathing or listening to my ipod or reading kama sutra! hehehe! people tell me, especially my boss and ex-lovers, i act like a child all the time, even my outbursts of temper are so childish too hahaha! but i know what i want, and nothing could deter me from my passion for my art, my sexuality, my desires, my loved ones, my freedom. aah, the freedom to feel good! most people would only say im crazy for doing things i love. but i think what separates me from others is being able to take risks, of being daring to experience something i know would be beautiful. altho this type of driving force got pros and cons, can affect other people too, well, im aware of that. but u cant make other people happy if ur not happy with yourself right?
just spreading some sunshine here!
love and hugs,
adrienne
Desperation. So little time, so much to do…
Well, it has to be my creator and His beautiful creations!
And these creations include my dad, my whole family, the people, the arts most specially music and literature!

Hi All,
it is so interesting and impressive to read all your comments…it shows a lot from person’s character, if u can read in between lines…:)i am really enjoying it…
some people write, what they think would paulo like(f.e., quotes or ideas from his books)…come on, he knows, we read his books, otherwise we wouldnt be on his blog:)
some people are “hitting” at each other and writing what would the person they intend to be interested in would like…
some people write what they have seen in the beginning of the comments…i mean, they read question and then went through few answer on the top, so their comment is similar to content of first comments…:)
some of them, they just scroll down, to leave reply and read what was last comment and they got carried away with it lil…
some people write story, memory and they are seeking for attention and appreciation…
:)
i am just really enjoying it
guys, pls no offence, i am just analysing and putting my thoughts on the screen:)
i do resect all of u, your spirit and energy, keep going, be driven by whatever force it is…
variety makes life interesting, so be yourself, share your energy as much as you can…there are no limits…no border…no lack of anything…ask-believe- shall receive…
just dream and believe in it…and if someone laugh at u…laugh with them…dont be jealous…dont compete…nothing can stop u…only u can be a real “hand break” for yourself…
enough for today
cheers
luv and respect,
i.

Memories
I turn off the lights, slip in between the sheets, lay down my head on the pillow, and hope I get to sleep well tonight. I close my eyes with memories of his belly button, the warmth of his skin against mine, his funny looking ingrown toenail, and the view of his long curly eyelashes as I lay my head on his chest and gaze up to see his face…a tear falls on the pillow…and I doze off to sleep….The end of another day. And when I wake up the following morning, I whisper to myself…”I made it through yesterday…now all I have to do is just live through today…” Little baby-steps…one day at a time…yesterday might not have been the best of what I could have done for a day’s worth but to survive each day without giving into the dark side is good enough for me. For now.
As I drive to my review class, I see nursing students clad in their pristine white uniforms hailing for a jeepney ride, almost late for duty, I assume…then I remember my baby…imagining how he would be waiting for the right jeepney that would bring him to his next hospital duty, white uniform and black messenger bag strapped across his chest…or the light blue scrub suit he wore for his pediatric rotation…a teardrop manages to roll down my cheeks as I turn left into the review class driveway…
I review a lecture on Diabetes Mellitus…and I remember how I edited his Diabetes powerpoint report…and helped him understand the concepts of insulin insufficiency…I see him nod, smile and say “ang galing naman ng baby ko…” Tears start to blur my vision and I struggle to finish the video…
Taking my lunch break, I stare out my car window…hearing my voice…my dad on the phone…telling him that Ren has just passed away…I sob and sob…struggling to finish each word…”wala na si Ren, Dad…Patay na si Ren!” A teardrop falls on the sliced mango I am eating for lunch…then I wipe my cheeks to dry the tears as walk towards my review class again…
It seems that the memories of him are so vivid. Everytime I remember him, it seems that I want to squeeze every minute detail of his being. Why do these pleasant memories of him bring so much pain in my heart? How am I holding up? How do you hold up with memories of him?
I do hope that one day, his memories…my memories of him, will only bring joy and a smile across my face…shouldn’t it be that way? Until then…
awareness !
this is for ”A” :
Dear “A”, those words of yous are drenched in negativity.
I suggest to throw it in the bin and also the people and circumstances that bring it to you.
(small peope make you feel small)
you can bring a change, in uer life.
blessed be !!!!
Answers
To be as true to myself as I know how to be, and thus discover and experience God’s intention in creating me, and to let others see me as I am, without shame or pride, and thus to be able to see others as they are, without judgment or envy, only love.
This is what I strive for. I don’t always reach it, but I keep going in that direction.
…Sorry for the last few sentences …was’nt suppose to be … and hope i,m not too heavy..
But I want to say sorry to the person before me…just read it and..
I think, if that can help…
That when a man dont have nothing to loose …in order to find the light…the first step is to go search for it because it’s true that it will never come to you. But that means that you have to get out first of this painfull situation that you are in. When that happened to me i litterally ran away with no hope ,nothing to loose but everything to discover; with nothing else than a backpack and the small courage i had left.. It reveal you to yourself and miraculeusement change all the lies for the Holly truth. And if you keep your eyes open you’ll see how much you’re shining compare to other less lucky…………..therefore you’ll be able to see the light in their eyes and you’ll be able to use it as a force next time the darkness will knock at you door again.
Hope…….Iza
A you have the light inside, start accepting and loving the person you are, then you will start seeing what you call “the light”. There’s only one thing in life that can’t be repaired, as long you live the hope is there waiting for you.
A big kiss :)
Hi all! first time on the blog…nice to meet u ..
If we talking about force,
of course love come first.
But what’s really keeps me alive
is to everyday
do my best to stay away
from lies
so that one day
all together we can
with the force of our heart
make a change and end
all the people’s pain
so that on earth only Love remain.
is to hope that one day
all together
we’ll find a way
the violence and injustice
into
left me revolted on earth.
Why am I still in the darkness?
I am looking around, and everything is dark; everything is still very painful. Why?
I am obviously doing something wrong but, how can I change this awful situation?
This is a lie, and I know this life of mine (the one I am living) is a lie. I know. And I would like to finish with this darkness. I want someone to come and Help me.
Please. If I am asking for Help, is because I REALLY need Help. I am in the abyss. There must be someone who know what to do to take me to my Place.
I’m so tired. And very angry. Anybody is going to Come? I prefer to Leave.
sorry for the bad spelling
The cosmic energy that exists in, and around everything.
As long i feel i’m in contact with it, there are no limits of far i can go.

Marmara,
Thank You.
love
Agnieszka
