Note to God

Your past does not define you;  the present moment—your current actions, choices, and mindset—is what shapes who you are and determines your future . While experiences may shape your journey, you have the power to learn from them, break free from old narratives, and define your own path daily.   Key insights on this philosophy: -  The Power of Now:  The only time you can create change is the present; dwelling on past mistakes or limiting beliefs keeps you stuck. Lessons, Not Sentences:  Past experiences, whether good or bad, should be treated as lessons that foster growth rather than a life sentence that limits your potential. Active Reinvention:  You can choose to rewrite your story every day by taking conscious, deliberate action toward the person you want to become. Breaking Free:  You are not your history, your mistakes, or the opinions of others.  

The hierarchy of capabilities

The first group was the control group. They were simply asked to track how often they exercised. The second group was the “motivation” group. They were asked not only to track their workouts but also to read some material on the benefits of exercise. The researchers also explained to the group how exercise could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and improve heart health. Finally, there was the third group. These subjects received the same presentation as the second group, which ensured that they had equal levels of motivation. However, they were also asked to formulate a plan  for when and where they would exercise over the following week. Specifically, each member of the third group completed the following sentence: “During the next week, I will partake in at least 20 minutes of vigorous exercise on [DAY] at [TIME] in [PLACE].” In the first and second groups, 35 to 38 percent of people exercised at least once per week. (Interestingly, the motivational presentation given to...

The danger of imprudences is that they fool us. Little by little they put our vigilance to sleep, they dull the edge of our conscience, they lessen the repugnance that sin aroused in us at the beginning, they make us see the law and the divine demands as less strict than they are; they make in conjunction the scope of the liberties we allow ourselves even greater. In parallel fashion, as one borders on sin without succumbing to it, one presumes about one’s own strength. One day, sin will no longer frighten us, and then we are disarmed and we fall. This is the inevitable result of indiscretions.

Supernatural life The Fourth Life 1. The Way, 279 Most people have a plane-like vision, stuck to the earth, of two dimensions. When you live a supernatural life, God will give you the third dimension: height, and with it, perspective, weight and volume. There is an order to living things: Lowest order: vegetative life, animal life and rational life. But often, men are ignorant or forget that there is another much more important kind of life, of a higher order, supernatural, way above the possibilities of human nature. It is a gift from God, fruit of his love for men. We may call it in different ways: **spiritual life, interior life, or supernatural life.** - I have a close friend, who is non Christian, he is really Kind and generous. But he always share with me this sense of emptiness. This void he is feeling. I tell him it's the yearning for God, for our homeland isnt here. But in heaven, united with God. But his rational side cannot accept it. Truly faith is a gift and...

Love becomes a demon when it becomes a God. Cause love can be distorted.  Apart from agape, the other 3 types of love can be distorted. - eros , distorted and ignore parents - Philia , overly attached to friendships -  Romantic love (Eros) may demand immoral actions, or love of country (patriotism) can become a demoniac force that justifies atrocities CS Lewis , the 4 loves
