How To Succeed
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children…to leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)

The best remedy for those who are lonely or unhappy
“The best remedy for those who are lonely or unhappy is to go outside somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the Heavens, nature and God because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.”

Comparisons
Let me remember that each life must follow its own course, and that what happens to other people has absolutely nothing to do with what happens to me. - Marjorie Holmes

Are You In The Arena
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

CO-CREATION
Kryon, you’ve talked about co-creation before, but what does it really mean? “Co-creation, dear ones, is that process where you create the reality of our life, which is to find your current contract. Contracts are not always grandiose, you know. Some of the contracts are simply to be a wonderful human being, walking in the light, raising children who will also walk in the light. How about that? Some of the contracts are to be a silent healer, to affect other human beings, and you know whom I’m talking to, for some of you are right in the middle of that very contract.”

The Beautiful Month of September
Image: Paraflyer
I live in Bristol, UK.
I have realised that September is one of my favourite if not my favourite months of the year.
Why?
English summers are not always the “best”. We seem to get odd nice days here and there amongst grey rainy days. There seems to be this expectation and “hype” that when the kids school summer holidays hit, the weather MUST be amazing and it MUST be a hot long summer. This usually leads to disappointment. Maybe there is something to the climate change, who knows. It’s also kinda crazy with the motorways jammed up with fraught people trying to make the very most of their 1 /2 / 6 week holiday. If you live in a tourist destination you are invaded by a multitude of tourists.
It seems to me that when September hits and the kids go back to school, everything calms right down. All expectations for great weather are off, there are no attachments and mother nature finally breathes again and under no pressure relaxes and offers up some of the best days of the year. The morning air caries more of a chill with brilliant sunshine that carries on transforming the day into really warm lunchtime afternoons and mild evenings.
You can almost feel the planet winding down as it slowly makes its way into autumn, rotating away from the sun. The pace is much slower and if you pay attention you can slot right into alignment and really make the most of this superb month.
This September I have enjoyed and recommend the following:
- Slow evening walks
- Lunch times basking in the still warm sun
- Slow morning walks enjoying the crisp morning air
- Bike rides along the harbourside
- Sunbathing in the park and on my roof area
- Mellow uncrowded Surf
- Seeing hot air balloons launching more than they did throughout summer because of the fine weather
- Watching people pick blackberries
- Sitting out front of a cafe enjoying a drink
Slow down and enjoy the month of slow September!
