Camille James says ~

A dear friend once said that the key to his success was having no expectations, therefore he never experienced disappointment. I had to ponder on that for a while and eventually I understood. It especially rang true to people I encounter, because every time I placed my own expectations on another... they always fell short.

I think that's why a lot of women are single today. Ladies you know how we come up with this extravagant list of qualities that we want in a man. He has to be rich, funny, strong, sensitive, honorable, loving, wise and no baby mama drama... and the list goes on and on.So much so that many women are actually looking for someone who does not actually exist. Well maybe in the comic books.

So I set out into the world with no expectations, which actually opened my world up to possibilities I did not know existed. This allowed the people I met and myself the freedom to just be...... How simple is that?

Your point of power begins from within.

It takes a great amount of courage to accept responsibility for the situations in your life. This may seem difficult when you were not the only one involved in the situation, such as being slandered or taken advantage of by another. Long after the situation has passed, the memories of the events seem to replay themselves until it takes a life of its own. You might ask, “Why should I accept all the blame? I was the innocent one”. Yet you are the one left defenseless and in a weakened state. It is very easy to blame others or outside forces for certain dilemmas and by doing so, you are thereby powerless over the outcome. The weakened state is caused by an involuntary release of power.

 

In the act of accepting responsibility, you are thereby becoming empowered. By realizing that you created the situation, you are now able to re-create it. As long as someone else is being blamed for the problem, they are the only ones who can transform it. When you are not being the co-creator that you were designed to be, someone else will gladly do the creating for you. This will lead to you becoming part of someone else’s agenda and not that of your own. You’ll wake up one day and say, “how did I get into this situation?” This is simply because you stop creating or were not aware that you had the power to create in the first place.

How are you to know the warmth of the sun, if you have not experienced the dreadful cold or the euphoria of love without the memories of being alone? In other words, when you first make an effort to understand something or someone, you must know both sides of the truth. There is a requirement to release one side of the experience for the other. This leads to greater understanding, compassion and  a more whole or holy  lifestyle.

LOVE is everything and in everything that you do. Whatever direction you are going in, the final destination is love and self awareness. Those involved with love will evolve.
