INTRODUCTION
Forever You is about reaching a point in life where you choose happiness and healing, no matter what the circumstances in your life may be right now. I hope that I will be able to help you make a conscious decision to enjoy life henceforth, to know what it’s like to enjoy living on this planet, as this body, at this time, in your surroundings, whatever the challenges may be. My message is a message of faith, courage, patience, gratitude, love and compassion.I hope that you who are reading this have dreams. Dreams you have yet to fulfill, goals you have yet to accomplish.By reading Forever You, I hope that you will gain assurance that you have those dreams and goals for a reason and that you are not alone, not for one second of your life. I encourage you to start listening to your spiritual glam squad, your loving entourage of angels and spirit guides who magically and lovingly will guide, lead, and comfort you whenever necessary. Don’t think for one minute that your life is a failure; it is a success, simply because you are here.Your Soul has embarked on an adventurous experience on this planet because you – being that Soul - want to evolve, grow and learn. Develop depth and faith in your own abilities, your own strength and give thanks to God. Lead by example, inspire, participate, help, and communicate. Share your stories. Develop a sense of humour.Keep moving on. You can do it.- Be grateful for what you’ve got.- Do good and be kind to others. Help whenever you can but don’t let anyone use you.- Leave room for the miraculous, the inexplicable, the fantastic, the mysterious, as not everything can be explained by reason. - Work hard, stay humble and ask life to help you reach the goals rooted in your heart.There is, however, much more to it! In the face of eternity we are forever. We always will be, we always have been, and we ARE now. We are forever learning and evolving. Knowing this and living your life accordingly, you will feel and attract more and more joy into your life. Being forever means the following on a conscious or unconscious level:- Loving yourself, life, and others- Growing from adversity, pain and suffering- Being vulnerable and strong- Being grounded, yet connected to the Spiritual- Developing gratitude, positivity, hope, and faithMy aim is to lead you towards painting a beautiful picture of your present, full of gratitude and peace. May you understand and know that this road you’re walking is the road that may lead you to your dreams. All you need to do is keep on walking.I cannot promise you that your life will ever be perfect or that you will indeed achieve your dreams in the way you are imagining. And even if a particular dream does become reality, will there be other obstacles in the way? No-one can know that. However, I believe that life and any burden we need to bear may become easier, if we know and acknowledge that we are watched over by dear old friends in the spirit world who love us unconditionally.This book may, at times, seem negative. It may seem that I am focusing and talking about the negative quite a bit. The reason for that is that I don’t believe anybody’s life is a walk in the park. We come here to learn, to evolve as Souls in time and space. If life were an easy road, it would be called “Easy Road” but it’s called life. In everybody’s life there will be challenges and difficult situations, suffering and conflict because that is a way to gain depth. It helps us to connect with and relate to others truly and completely. Therefore I say, feel the pain, feel the desperation, and then pull yourself out of it, grow from it, develop an attitude of gratitude and live with the deep conviction that, no matter what the situation, you can make a conscious choice to see the good and to focus on the positive, for this is the only chance you have of true happiness.As a Soul you are forever young – you never get older, only wiser! In a nutshell, you are forever. You are forever you.
Chapter 1 About You Beauty
“Più bella cosa non c’è di te” (“There is nothing more beautiful than you”, Eros Ramazzotti)“All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.” (Marilyn Monroe)“A good heart will help you to a bonny face (…) and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.” (Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights)***I cannot remember anyone telling me in my childhood that I was beautiful, unique, wonderful and special. I wish I had been told that and often, for it can make such a difference to one’s self esteem. I always felt loved 100% but I never felt pretty.That is probably why I developed such an extreme sense of vanity from my early 20’s onwards. Like many people I am a vain person, I want to be seen as beautiful by the world! However, outer beauty is just half the deal. I know people who are beautiful on the outside, but they are cold, unfeeling, and selfish people, so their beauty starts to fade rather quickly the better you know them.For many people outer beauty is a core value. They work incessantly and addictively on improving their looks, having more and more surgery. Their self-worth is completely tied up in their outer beauty.The opposite is true of other people. Inner beauty shines even brighter and brings much more joy and happiness to the beholder than outer beauty.I believe we should all care to nourish both aspects of our beauty. As Souls we are forever beautiful and pure, no matter what happens in our lifetime on Earth, our Soul is lightful and good and cannot be destroyed by anything we do or experience.A healthy sense of vanity is good for one’s confidence, but true beauty shines from within, through good deeds, sensitivity, generosity, depth, unconditional love, humility and faith.Treasure your body and your Soul. You have chosen this body in this lifetime, you predetermined for a reason what colour of skin/hair/eyes you would have, how tall or short, corpulent or thin you would be, and where your physical weaknesses lie.
True beauty shines from within and complements outer beauty.Work on both.
