Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #210 05/13/16 You Are Not For Everyone. You are not for everyone, you are a rare combination of a frequency many cannot hear. Do not waste your energy trying to explain the lyrics in your song when those who are not for you cannot even hear the music. You are kind and patient and all sorts of unconditional outbursts, you change and flow so effortlessly so many cannot even keep up with you. You create safe spaces and share stories that are so real, your not afraid to touch those places that hurt and your not afraid to lean into embarrassment, some may call you foolish but your sensitivity is not your weakness rather it's the epitome of true strength. The honesty and emotions you share are your truth and you my beautiful soul have never been ashamed to rip yourself open and let the world see you - to see YOU. So many will not share so deeply and love so fiercely, to speak even when your voice shakes, so yes in a sense you are very alone, I know how much this pains you. Still, you are not for everyone, so do not force yourself to dim your light and fit in places that restrict and bind, the kind of places that force you to shape and shift into something you are not. You've worked too hard to love and accept yourself, as is with no changes to ever go back to being afraid of who your are - you follow that North Star of your truth and you don't ever look back. You are not for everyone. ~Will "Story" Rivera

Make sure the radio station your listening to in your heart, mind and soul is a station you enjoy. Music that inspires you. Words that move you into a direction that creates peace and gratitude.
If the station within you is causing stress, pain and fear then it's time to change the station. Make sure life plays to your beat. ~Will "Story" Rivera Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #208 05/11/16 Be At Peace Within. Your purpose is unconditional presence, where no physical or mental state can knock you out of presence. And its not about replacing a frown for a smile, or about making grief or anger go away, but letting the surface of life be what it is. This is where you discover the depth of your being. This is where true peace dwells. In your own heart and mind. Not in the places, people and experiences outside of you. When you find this presence within yourself you awaken in the knowing that Heaven is already on Earth and we are the ones responsible to support, contribute and maintain it. Live on purpose.

Rule #207 05/10/16 Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #206 05/9/16 Ruin is the road to transformation. Sometimes our lives can change so fast that the change becomes quicker than our mind and hearts can process. It’s during those times I think when we feel the greatest pain.
I can tell you, though, from experience, you grow accustomed to it. You not only adapt but excel through it. You learn to live your new life, love your new life and honestly can’t imagine, or even really remember how things were before. You walk around with a PhD in Life Experience in your pocket and chances are you never even had to go college to obtain it. You start self talking and asking yourself maybe my life hasn’t been so chaotic and perhaps It’s just the world around me that is, and the only real trap of life is getting attached or to comfortable to any of it. I read once that ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation. Sadly they do not teach you this in schools. On top of that nobody ever really knows how much anybody else is hurting. We thrive on distraction because most people never really learn to share their pain. We could be standing next to somebody who is completely broken and we wouldn’t even know it. ~Will "Story" Rivera Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by.

I have gone toe to toe with some of the biggest monsters in my heart and honestly I am not afraid to face my demons anymore. They once ruled my decisions with fear and kept me locked prisoner of my own mind but my spirit was to rebellious to ever stay cooped up in any jail cell.
I learned to free my thoughts and open my mind up so I could allow the light to pour in, gained some wisdom and the courage to keep it moving. These days I travel through light and dark with no distinction between the two, I have to face what’s deep inside myself if I am ever going to learn to accept myself and all others unconditionally. ~Will "Story" Rivera |
