If u could predict fuure exactly, much fun of living would be lost. listen to your heart, and if u find a no there say that, if u find a yes say that. heart is a yes sayer, herat is like a child, mind evaluates and calculates. if sespite warnings from heart, your instinct, mind says yes in hope of better times, that hope needs to be based on rationality.

about being guilty for future, at your core u are beyond guilt, and guilt does not serve any useful purpose mostly, so why look in that direction ?

but sometimes you have to say yes, yes I have liked you from the first time I saw you….10 years ago…and that feeling never gone..even if you want to hide that feeling to her, hiding the fact that youi actually liked her and you are afraid to admitted it…and you want to say no…..but you remember paulo coelho and then you say….yes, yes I like you….from the first time I saw you and still do now….and you see her reaction….she was surprised….I never thought you ever liked me….it’s okay, it was some times ago..call me? then my heart went blur as if time had disappear….I have say yes, yes I like you….and then you said you want to give me a chance to prove my love to you? OK, I’ll prove that I love you…..but time had played it’s rough games with me….my mind was engulfed with fear….so I say to her….I have failed to prove it..I have fear bigger than my love…or is it I have failed to destroy the fear? maybe….but the fact is that she was gone…with someone else…….and lest me in tears…..my heart went destroy……………I never see her face for 10 years…and just at the time I was going to reach her hand….I ruined it…….yes…saying yes is painful…..

Thank you Thelma..
and yes, how true to advise classical music..
in fact, since diagnosis [ptsd with clinical d..] I changed my music selection … and it was back to the classical symphonies and opera that i returned… having heard it even sunday morning as my mamma cleaned the house to this music.. whilst singing along ;o)
And, indeed.. the Coelho’s books brought me back onto my path and even to here … so all good healing. I was wishing that i’d discovered the blog earlier.. but no matter now.

Ok. Thanks so much once again. Love to you x

A Prayer of Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love,
Where there is injury let me sow pardon,
Where there is doubt let me sow faith,
Where there is despair let me give hope,
Where there is darkness let me give light,
Where there is sadness let me give joy.

O Divine Master, grant that
I may not try to be comforted but to comfort,
Not try to be understood but to understand,
Not try to be loved but to love.
Because it is in giving that we receive,
It is in forgiving that we are forgiven,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

………………….. St. Francis

Ok, I come back to a problem that might occur. What if I say yes, having in mind an optimistic future, and than things go wrong, so the yes become impossible. Am I guilty for the future? Please do reply.

A… coincidence: I was just talking on the phone with my daughter in England and we were talking about music and she told me that she likes the …. song … ‘If tomorrow never comes’, without knowing that I had put it here!
You see, I teased her, you …. should tell me .. everyday ‘I LOVE YOU’. ;-]
So I LOVE YOU.

Is it Post Traumatic Syndrome? I think this covers a big range of depression after a traumatic event.
I am glad you … sound better now and please, please …. start listening to classical music; it heals and … keep dreaming, day- dreaming and reading Paulo Coelho’s books!

Hi freinds !

Is PTSD : Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

if yes it’s the new mumbo jargon from psychiatrists. Alex i feel everyone who has found lasting happiness had to go through the period of ‘depression’ as they love to call. slightly not in line with the comment, but i am told that in ancient zen, mind problems like the once we face now a days were treated by just putting the person in isolation for 1 month or so, totally ignoring that person’s exiatnce, while taking care of his bodily needs like food etc. in depression too, important thing is to keep oneself motivated despite ‘all this’.

What is PTSD? I am sorry you were ill… I think is right, one must search a cure, not underestimating the signals. You seem so balanced and happy. I am surprised you wrote about depression. Wish you much happiness

surgery yes ! but only as a last resort, when all possible avennues for cure without surgery are closed, a no only when a yes is impossible !

about that biblical quote : our yes should remain a yes and our no should remain a no, it is meant to be applied to oneslef, once i say no to some vice it should remain a no, same with yes. we read realigion and try to apply it on others, first it should be applied on oneself, then whatever comes out of us will be releigious ! i feel !

yes you are right… it is a matter of responsibility not just about being honest and good…

When I began to realise that I was becoming depressed and was diagnosed with PTSD, I had to make a decision… to fight the illness.
I could have just taken the medication and hoped to get better, but I KNEW that what was more important was to recognise and so understand the ‘pain’ and emotions. So I said NO to a quick fix and have, consequently, engaged in many alternative theraphies… I sometimes wonder if an end shall ever be in sight for me…
and yet I do not regret having decided to dive deep down and explore the realms of darkness, unhappiness, painful emotions. In fact, I have become a stronger spirit for doing this work.
What is important is not to ignore/neglect the feelings, and neither to under-estimate them… Healing can then take place.
So,
In this way, I have learnt compassion… starting with myself… but by default, compassion for life itself also.

More importantly, I ‘hear’ more clearly when to say no and when to say yes…
because.. I am listening to my heart attentively! and thus can see more clearly ;o) x

Alexandra, I have always enjoyed reading your responses as you are very truthful and you seem like such a sweet person.

I know what you are saying and I agree completely. I’m always saying to my family “prevention is better than cure”. As far as health is concerned, if you say no to excessive fatty foods, smoking, excessive alcohol today then you won’t have to say yes to a triple bypass tomorrow.

I must add that a ” no”, must be said even for the interest of the other part. That way we wont live ilussions, we give the other the chance to look other ways for what he she need. We dont take way time making somebody wait for something will never arrive.
Honesty is not always easy. But is better to take our responsibility.

Alexandra — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 05:49:05 +0000

Yes, exactly, I compared the no that was better than a yes, with a fast surgery , useful when neeeded… Hmm. I need a coffee, hope I not mistake words now. Take care

Hi Alexandra!

So what you are saying is that if one has a disease, one should say yes to cure it, before one regrets becoming more sick? Yep, agree.

Love & Admiration,
Heart
