We all live in our own world. But if you look up at the starry sky, you will see that all the different worlds up there combine to form constellations, solar systems, galaxies.

Hello Serena,
Thank you for your answer.
Today I´m feeling better and I am happy for having realize something I didn´t while I was writting that message.
Sometimes when I write things I feel ashamed of myself for having writing nonsenses, or proud, or sad, or content …
But I write and I Live because I want to return to where I belong, you know … I know I sometimes am rubbish but I have to go on despite of all the times I have failed to my God. I have to go on in the Hope that He and She (my God, my Goddess) would take me again.
I am not a guy but a girl.
Love.

This is for the guy who is known as “LOVE” and shared his story with us,
Allow me to tell you this, Gibran Khalil Gibran, a great Lebanese and international writers once said “..We choose our Joys and Sorrows long before we experience them…”….
Today you hold options, either to learn from your past or to let it be your “present” eternal companion… and in both cases, fear is here to remind you of a past that not very long time ago.. has hindered your future… Regarding your CV, you are never chosen for what you write in this CV.. you are rather chosen for who you represent in this CV… and if your are asked what you have been doing all this time… just tell them very honestly,,, i have been planing to become the MAN i am today… don;t be ashamed..there is much in your experience which you might be learning from but which others are being taught from.. so regardless of what you have been doing… your past is who you are…speak up the truth… show how better a man it has made you … give light..share only then you will guide….

i have my own reflection for this. you have said that we live in our world. i guess, as i could apply it in my life, we are unique and live according to what we think is right. other people do, too. but when we live together… when our different worlds clash together, it tells a different story. like what each star forms with the other stars.. it’s what we call constellations. that i guess, is where we create a better world to live in… together with the other people out there whether we chose them or not. once we combine our worlds, a new world is born. a bigger star is formed to light the our lives.

We all share the same universe …we all sleep underneath the same stars ,although we all live in our world …the starry sky is a mirror to all the possibilities held in each one us ..Blessings Tania

Some ancient persons taled that we have the universe in the inside. Maybe situated behind stomach. I found it very pretty, and this gave me another point of you about the universe and me.
Makes me think about people that work for equity, but never meet.
I decided to read that book of you in those days.
Gratefully.

Hello,
I have something like a problem and I didn´t know where to go to talk about that. So I´ll write it down here.
I´m trying to bring some Light to know what should I do.
It´s a small thing, very concret. I will be as brief as possible.
I have been destroying my Life since I was a young teenager. I am now thirty years old and I realize that all the things I have done to destroy myself are still here despite of I am fine now. And most people will judge me for my past so I don´t know what to do. I really do not know.
I am making my CV because I would like to have a job. But when I have to talk about my work experience, I have only been working a total of 1 year, 10 months, and 6 days.
And I am thirty so, obviously, people ask me (when I have said the truth) what have I been doing the rest of the time.
I usually keep silence but today I would like to share just to see if I am trapped or not.
What have I been doing? If I keep silence is because if I tell the truth, they probably wouldn´t offer me a job.
Let´s see …
I have been with a deep depression for years, I have suffered pannic attacts, agoraphobia, I escape home when I was a child (but I had to go back because I had nowhere to go. And returning was even worst ) and I still have the scars on my wrist for having trying to commit suicide when I was nineteen.
So basically that´s why, at the age of thirty, my CV is almost empty and my work experience is just around two years.
But I am not only that past, I also have good moments but I cannot write that story on my CV. Yet, I really would like to know what could I do with this small problem I have found in my Life.
I´m a bit tired because I have tried to “solve” this problem of my CV and so far, I have found no way out.
They always ask for references or they ask what have I been doing. And what I have been doing doesn´t sound very good.
What should I do? What kind of CV should I show if I have only one?

Hello Love, my heart goes out to you, so just wanted to write a little note of encouragement. Age has not ever been an issue in my experience (and 30 seems very young!) Everything I have had the pleasure of working at in life has come from saying a little prayer first. For each possible opportunity, I had to begin somewhere. So if something I wanted to work at looked interesting to me, I simply took my enthusiasm along, spoke to people, and doors opened. Where I live, employers have never asked for an explanation of my past. They cared whether I could do the task at hand, today. Love, Jane

Hello Jane,
I loved reading your reply. It is just right. I too have a younger brother who also has the same problem. Cannot keep a steady job and too much overconfidence and a host of other problems. Biggest problem is he will not ask the Lord’s help. But instead I have been praying for him continously, day after day, knowing that my prayers will one day be answered. At the moment he is in Canada, he gave up his steady job in search of a better job. And now I have lost touch with him. Its been nearly two months since I have last spoken to him. I am worried, but there is nothing I can do for him. I have no contact with him. But I know that the lord is my contact with him and he will look after him. After all I tell myself it was a miracle that he went there, Its a miracle that he’s been there for nearly a year and it will be a miracle that he will survive and make a life for himself there. The lord of the Universe took him there and now he will also look after him. So I sleep in peace at night(Of course no doubt I am worried!) But i believe in these words said by the lord ” you go to sleep, do not worry. I will be awake all night” Thank you for caring.
Love Vanessa

Hi Love
A CV is only a tool to get you an interview. I agree that having little work experience is an obstacle, but it isn’t insummountable. If you can get to see people and present an open & willing wish to do a job then all the universe will conspire to help you.
I employ people regularly and it is always those that show enthusiasm & commitment that i choose, irrespective of a little piece of paper.
I wish you every success both with your life and career.
Love Josephine
