The Speech From “The Great Dictator” Is What The Whole World Needs To Hear

“We want to live by each other’s happiness not by each other’s misery!” — The Great Dictator

It’s easy to think that the whole world is against you. It really is. If just one little thing doesn’t go your way you think that people conspire against you.

We all do this. You can just go outside and you can see it on other people’s faces. They walk down the street with a fazed out look, overthinking about things, miserable.

We were taught to believe that everyone wants to take advantage over us. News and media preach this agenda every day.

But the truth is that we don’t hate each other. In fact, we might love each other just a little too much.

But we don’t want to accept this fact because we think it would make us vulnerable. We think loving others is naive and foolish. Yet, this is all our nature.

We love each other. We don’t want to harm one another, we want to see each other happy. Why do you think smiling is addictive?

Laughter, happiness and positivity is attractive. It’s what we cheer for. And it’s not our laughter, it’s other people’s laughter, other people’s happiness and positivity.

Why do you think we feel good when we help other people? We get the real reward when we help because we feel so good.

It’s because we want each other to be happy. By default we are all on the same team until ego and false beliefs separate us in different teams and opposing sides.

But we are all in the same boat. We are all citizens of planet earth and carriers of humanity’s flame. We are all followers of a religion of love.

You can best realize this when you watch the video below. It’s one of the best speeches and it’s from the movie “The Great Dictator” with Charlie Chaplin.

How To Become An Empowered Empath

How To Become An Empowered Empath

As sensitive souls, empaths are very susceptible to energies around them. Those who don’t know they’re one, end up feeling drained and grumpy.

They may believe something is wrong with them when the real cause of their worn out emotions are the energies they have picked up from the people or situations surrounding them. If you’ve been accustomed to feeling or sensing the emotions of others, chances are you could be an empath.

The main characteristics of an empath include people pleasing, feeling you’re responsible for other people’s mood, getting drained in crowded places, or feeling uncomfortable with some types of people and feeling at ease with others even if you just meet them for the first time.

But don’t feel that because other people’s energy drains you, you’re already a victim of circumstances. The truth is, as an empath, you are a powerful healer.

There is only one catch though, you need to heal yourself first before you can go out and heal others. You need to provide for your own needs first.

A lot of suggestions to heal as an empath include raising your vibration, spending time alone, being with nature, and giving time for self care. All of these are a big help. But if these things aren’t that effective, what you need may be the things that help you manage your energy and empower yourself.

You may try the following suggestions. When you have followed them through, you may discover how powerful you are as an empath.

3 Ways To Empower Yourself As An Empath:how-to-become-empowered-empath

1. Cleanse yourself of lower vibration energies.

In recent years, scientists have come to recognize that everything in the universe is made out of energy.

This means whether you are in a direct contact with a person or an object, they both vibrate on an energetic level.

And the energy they’re vibrating could either be in lower or higher levels.

The important thing is and where most of us get this thing wrong is believing that empaths can take on the energy of negative people, that’s why empaths should avoid them.

But the truth is, you can only take on the energy of others when you vibrate in the same frequency as theirs whether it be on lower or higher levels.

In order not to pick up the lower vibrations of others, you need to make sure that you’re vibrating at higher frequency levels.

Because you’re only human and couldn’t be positive all the time, when you’re feeling low, try to stay inside to avoid picking up low vibrating energies.

It’s also a wise idea to do rituals that keep your energy vibrating at its best.

2. Take responsibility for your energy.

While it may be true that external factors may play a big part in what you feel, surrendering to that fact makes you feel a victim.

Your mind is so powerful and the universe knows it. When you believe that you need to shield yourself because you’re susceptible to negative vibrations, the universe will go its way to prove to you that you indeed need a shield.

The situations that you have created in your mind will take place to let you know that you’re right in needing a protection or in becoming drained due to the negative energies around you.

As an empath, you’re not under attack.

Your energies are just strong enough to sense the energies around you.

Once you feel these energies, don’t judge them. See them as they are, energies, whether they’re higher or lower vibrations. See everything from a place of love and wholeness.

This doesn’t mean you need to disregard doing the things that raise your vibration. This only serves as a reminder for you to take responsibility for yourself because taking responsibility is empowering yourself in the process.

3. Do everything it takes to develop your love for self.

Self love doesn’t equate with selfishness. In a world where sacrifice for others is looked upon as a noble act, doing things for yourself is considered selfish.

True selfishness is doing things for others even when you no longer can’t just to avoid being labeled as selfish. This is disempowering.

There’s nothing wrong when you want to please people because you’re happy to see them happy. But when you do it often and do it to gain approval, you’re giving your power away.

You’re not loving yourself. You’re doing things out of fear of rejection. Loving yourself is creating healthy boundaries. It’s saying no when you need to.

All of us needs self love whether we’re empaths or not. It’s where our true power comes from.

The following 9 practices will help you in your journey to self love:

1. Let go of disempowering beliefs and listen closely to your gut feelings.

2. Give yourself healthy and nutritious food, which have their own frequencies too.

3. Surround yourself with people who love and support you.

4. Don’t feel responsible for other people’s emotions.

5. Find your own voice and express yourself.

6. Know that pleasing everyone is not your duty.

7. Do more of the things that you love doing and engage in inspiring hobbies and activities.

8. Let go of the victim mentality.

9. Own your power and share your gifts with the world.

On your journey to self love, many challenges may come your way. Repressed emotions and old patterns may surface for clearing and healing.

Howsoever tough the journey may seem, just keep going because, as an empath, you are here to channel your healing and loving energies to others.

This can only be fulfilled when you begin to love and empower yourself the way you’re created to be.

Astrology And Cosmic Update For September 2018: Here is What September is Bringing for Each Person

The past couple of months were really intense in terms of energy. They demanded us to go deep within, to face our shadows.

These intense energies made us take a step back as a way of going further. And this month we are finally ready to start moving forward again.

This month is all about letting go of the old and starting the new. It’s about shedding the old skin and creating new identities.

It’s about starting new projects and completely changing our life to be the best we can imagine. It’s a start of a new chapter, one that we all have been waiting for so long.

But we needed to wait because we needed to really solve our inner stuff first, to really know what we would like to become.

It’s a month to clean up the baggage the intense energies purified us from and create a new improved model of who we would like to become.

Here Is What Astrologists Say September Has In Store For Each Person:what-september-2018-is-bringing-for-each-person

September is a month to plan, a month to take inventory, and a month to think about what new actions we wish to take.

In fact, motivation will be high in September with Mars and Mercury both moving direct and Saturn to follow on the 6th.

The New Moon happens to fall on the 9th and it is going to help us to get more grounded and allow us to see things clearly.

It is going to bring a lot of clarity and will help us to make sense of things that have been cloudy or uncertain.

This newfound clarity is going to allow us to feel awakened and more confident when it comes to the next phase of the cycle.

This clarity is also going to be extremely healing, and will help us to tune into the wisdom of our mind, body, and soul.

From September 16th to 18th, Uranus and Mars will finish off an intense dance they have been working on since May 2018.

Uranus is the planet of innovation, rebellion, and change, and Mars is the planet of motivation, action, and finding your inner warrior.

This final activation of Uranus and Mars energy is going to help motivate and inspire us to take action.

We may even see themes from earlier in the year reappear in order to be completed or finished off once and for all.

Mars and Uranus are a volatile combination, however since May they have provided us with a lot of growth and a lot of opportunities to tap into our authentic selves.

Then on September 24th we have the Full Moon which falls in the fire sign of Aries bringing a strong energetic momentum of action.

This potent Full Moon has a lot of strength behind it, and we are really going to be pushed by the Universe to take action.

Although most of 2018 has been sluggish, September offers the chance to make some leaps and to put plans into place that have been in the works for sometime.

September is a month to honor just how far you have come. It’s a month to use your imagination and decide where you will aim next.

Think of September as graduation month, a time where you can celebrate the lessons learnt and the journey you have traveled this year so far.

September holds the vibration of number 9. In numerology, number 9 represents the completion phase before a new cycle begins.

September is a month when new energies and possibilities will become available to use in order to become the best version of yourself you can be.

5 Bad Habits That Weaken Your Energy Field And Positive Habits To Replace Them With

5 Bad Habits That Weaken Your Energy Field And Positive Habits To Replace Them With

Your energy field or the electromagnetic energy field that surrounds you depends much on your health and lifestyle.

It reflects your personal energy and affects your ability to connect with others. A healthy energy field is a good indicator of living the life you want.

If it’s weak, you will lack motivation and vitality for making your life better, personally and professionally. A weakened energy field also makes you more susceptible to negativity.

While there are scientific explanations behind the feelings of fatigue, in most cases it still comes down to one important thing, your energy has weakened because of bad habits.

These habits might vary, from wrong diets and bad sleeping patterns to stress, activities that harm your health, even not following your purpose.

Weakened energy field is the symptom of some underlying problem, it is an indicator that something in your lifestyle is draining your energy and disrupting your energy flow.

You fail to see the harm done because it happens gradually and on a daily basis. When you notice the difference your energy field has already weakened.

To protect your energy field you need to know the things that weaken it, as well as the ways to strengthen it.

It all comes down to how you structurize your lifestyle and what kind of habits you integrate in it. Here are some bad habits you should avoid and replace with positive ones.

5 Bad Habits That Weaken Your Energy And What To Do Instead:bad-habits-that-weaken-your-energy-field-replace-them

1. Addiction to social media.

Even though there are good and inspirational things that you see on social media, it is still outnumbered by the negative ones. If you’re not aware, you’re likely to be influenced by the negativity that you get from there. The amount of time and energy spent in pointless internet browsing also diminishes your energy.

What to do instead: Spend more time with people who uplift your energy.

There are people who simply good for your energy. Instead of being sucked into social media feeds, meet up with someone who uplifts your energy. Speak with them, converse on topics both of you are passionate about, talk about things that inspire you.

2. Poor sleep habits.

Regardless of what you do in the wee hours of the night, not having enough sleep is not good for your body. Your mind and body need adequate rest to be able to function well for the next day. A good sleep is a wise investment to gain more for the following day.

What to do instead: Have an exercise regimen.

Get your body moving. Engaging in physical activities gets your blood circulating and your energy going. Create a habit where you engage yourself physically, like swimming, running, yoga, walking, or any other activities that can sweat you.

3. Staying indoors all the time.

Not getting enough sunshine and fresh air is not good for your energy. The sun, most especially, provides you with warmth and uplifts your energy levels. It promotes the production of vitamins in your body. Staying indoors might make you depressed.

What to do instead: Go for a walk.

Walking has been found to have lots of mental and physical benefits. Aside from improving your mood and getting fresh air, walking is also the best way to get sunshine on your skin. The sun’s energy not only gives you a dose of vitamin D but it also purifies your mood.

4. Poor eating habits.

Poor eating habits accompanied by an unhealthy lifestyle is probably the greatest drainer of your energy. Most processed foods make you feel tired and lethargic. Organic and naturally grown foods are packed with natural energy that replenishes what your body loses.

What to do instead: Follow a nutritious diet.

A nutritious diet simply consists of naturally grown food. If it’s possible, grow your own organic veggies and fruits. Eating raw food is also a great way of getting the sun’s energy into your body.

5. Overthinking and stress.

Stress is the biggest enemy of the modern times. We overthink and stress about things daily. This is an addiction we all suffer from. Overthinking and dealing with stressful people every single day is almost inevitable, however, almost. It can be significantly reduced.

What to do instead: Do deep breathing and meditation exercises.

Deep breathing is a quick saver, especially when you’re feeling exhausted. Simply close your eyes, then slowly inhale and exhale deeply. Doing this for at least 5 minutes will calm your mind. A regular meditation is healthy and keeps you connected to your inner being.

Your body is said to be the temple of your soul. When you take good care of it, your soul is likely to shine, and this raises your energy levels. These are simple strategies, but if done on daily basis they can strengthen your energy field and keep negative energies at bay.

Why Do Mentally Strong People Never Succumb To Self Pity

Why Do Mentally Strong People Never Succumb To Self Pity

One of the factors that make people mentally strong is their ability to keep a healthy confidence at any odd that comes their way.

They’re not without fear, but they know how to face their fear. They have a place within from where they find inner confidence even in the midst of the most dreadful situation.

This is where mentally strong people differ from the rest of us. They’re able to detect the  things that lower their self esteem and beat them before they weaken them.

While interviewing 10 mentally strong people, researchers found that they shared one similar perspective, self pity destroys one’s life.

Self pity could be downright the most self destructive habit, making the person powerless to overcome even the smallest obstacles that loom over their way.

Mentally strong people are keenly aware when self pity is about to arise. So, they prevent it immediately because they know it means to lose even before the real battle begins.

Here is how self pity harms your character and takes away your power without you even knowing it’s not working for you, but against you.

3 Reasons Why Mentally Strong People Don’t Succumb To Self Pity:mentally-strong-people-self-pity

1. Self pity encourages a build up of negativity.

Life is a cycle of losses and winnings. You learn from the losses and you gain confidence from the winnings.

If you can’t see things this way, you may end up believing that life is a battle that should be always won. And when you don’t win, you may believe something is wrong with you.

Failing to recognize this thought process can harm your self worth and could cause your well functioning world to crumble.

This can be the greatest reason why some people succumb to self pity. As they host a self pity party, negativity starts to build up.

Feelings of low self worth can lower your energetic vibration. When others sense your lower vibration, they start to stay away from you, leaving you more isolated.

2. Self pity destroys productivity.

The moment self pity destroys your worth, your productivity naturally gets affected. Being in this state will most likely make anyone apathetic.

This may create problems in your workplace, which you may be bringing into your home and spreading with your close friends.

The worst thing is that you will lack the motivation and productivity to do something about your problems.

It puts you in a negative momentum that leads to being more apathetic, this creates more self pity and that destroys your productivity even more.

The best way to escape this cycle is to prevent self pity before it settles. However, the second best is to stop it. Take responsibility and force yourself to take action.

3. Self pity prevents opportunities for learning.

Mistakes can be used in your advantage, that is where you see opportunities for learning and growth. Indulging in self pity prevents you from seeing mistakes this way.

Instead, you’re likely to blame people for the hardships and difficulties that you may have faced when you indulge in self pity.

Mentally strong people always see the bright side of life’s difficulties even if they feel down at times.

They feel their pain then move on from there to look for the space that allows them to grow.

Being mentally strong is not about not making any mistakes, it’s about facing mistakes and using mistakes in your own advantage. There is no need for self pity in anything they do.

5 Aretha Franklin Quotes That Will Leave A Mark On Your Heart

America’s Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, passed away on the 16th of August at the age of 76.

Franklin might have been destined to touch us with her music because, as a child, she was already a gospel singer.

She formally started her professional journey in the music industry after she signed up to Atlantic Records in 1967.

Some of her most famous soul stirring songs include “Respect”, “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman”, “Spanish Harlem”, and “Think”.

Aretha Franklin not only left us with her soulful music that is bound to live on forever, but also with her fruits of wisdom that are sure to touch our hearts.

5 Aretha Franklin Quotes:aretha-franklin-quotes

1. “We all require and want respect, man or woman, black or white. It’s our basic right.”

This quote is clearly expressed in Aretha Franklin’s most iconic song “Respect” where she earned two Grammy Awards in 1968. This song also inspired the Women’s Rights movement that they made it their anthem.

As the song implies, you need to demand respect from others. You need to ask for it because they might have forgotten that it is your basic right.

And if others can’t give it to you, you need to be bold enough to walk away. You deserve way better than that.

2. “You cannot define a person in just one thing. You can’t just forget all these wonderful and good things that a person has done because one thing didn’t come off the way you thought it should come off.

Aretha Franklin’s music also suggests acceptance of others despite their imperfections. Just because people commit mistakes, the good deeds they have done will no longer matter.

Every single one of us is trying to live the best life that we can, but there are just days that we slip.

When someone disappoints you for not doing what you expect them to, try to look at their good deeds. This way, it’s easier for you to forgive them and give them another chance.

3. “Sometimes, what you’re looking for is already there.”

Like Aretha Franklin, anybody wanting to live their life purpose doesn’t need to look it outside of themselves because it’s already within.

Aretha’s natural talents changed people’s lives because she looked for the answers inside of her.

You can ask for people’s opinions or guidance, but the inspiration and the true answers that you’re looking for to create a spark in your soul is already within you.

4. “Who hasn’t had a weight issue? If not the body, certainly the big head.”

Literally, Aretha had a weight issue that caused her health problems. Being overweight is not something to overlook if it’s causing health issues.

But, she is quite right, it’s much better to have a big weight than a big head. Not all people with a little extra weight are harmed like people who have extra weight on their ego.

A heavy ego will not just give you a negative outlook on life, but it will make your life miserable playing a game against yourself. Humility is a virtue Aretha Franklin maintained.

5. “People really don’t have to give you anything, so appreciate what people give you.”

Give value to the things that others give you regardless of how simple they might be. Learn to appreciate small good deeds because people don’t owe you anything in the first place.

It might be better to give than to receive but to receive with gratefulness and appreciation delights the giver more.

When you receive with a grateful heart, you will give back something more valuable. Giving things of value makes your life more valuable. And it’s how Franklin lived hers.

Centenarian Villagers From A Small Village Share 5 Secrets To Their Longevity

Nowadays, humanity’s lifespan is the longest that has ever been in known human history. However, due to unhealthy choices, longer life poses a great challenge for many.

With poor choices of food, stressful lifestyle, polluted surroundings, we shouldn’t wonder why people live shorter and suffer poor health, even though science is more advanced.

The best people to provide us with the right kind of information that we want, when it comes to longevity, are those who have lived healthier and longer lives themselves.

Such people can be found in a village in Italy called Acciaroli. This place does not only boasts with its stunning seaside beauty but also its centenarian villagers.

There are around 2,000 centenarians, out of a population of 60,000, in the region of Cilento where Acciaroli is based, while a large number are in their 80’s and 90’s.

What’s more amazing is that most of them lived healthily without suffering from any age related conditions. Only a few of them develop heart disease or dementia.

Researchers found that people in the area have unusually good blood circulation and remarkably low levels of a hormone called adrenomedullin.

High levels of the hormone impede blood circulation and lead to serious health problems, but the elderly residents had levels as seen in people in their twenties and thirties.

The scientists at Rome Sapienza University and the San Diego School of Medicine joined forces in unlocking the villagers’ secret to longevity.

5 Wise Secrets To Longevity By Centenarian Villagers:centenarian-villagers-share-5-secrets-to-their-longevity

1. Give your body what it’s good for it daily.

This advice looks pretty simple, however, most people do not follow it. The centenarians point out that a healthy diet was one of the things that contributed to their longevity. Most of them follow regular meal patterns and a Mediterranean diet that consists mostly of fish, fresh fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and some carbohydrates. Eating moderately, organically and naturally is good to keep in mind whatever diet you are on.

2. Live an old fashioned life.

Other centenarians pointed out that their old fashioned lifestyle was what helped them stay younger and live longer. Many of them raise their own animals to eat, grow their own vegetables, and spend time fishing for food. Their village even produces its own olive oil. There is something in this connection with their own produce that keeps them healthy. The simplicity and belonging the old fashioned lifestyle gives has some magic in it.

3. Spend energy to get energy.

The San Diego cardiologist Alan S. Maisel, who spearheaded the study, observed that everyone in the village did something active each day. Those who are able, walked a couple of miles a day. Moving your body might momentarily take energy and burn calories, but it gives more life and vitality. Stay active every single day. Move, exercise, dance, walk, whatever your style is, just keep moving, stay active.

4. Embrace hardships to be tougher.

Antonio, one of the centenarians, reminisced that when he was a young boy, they had to deal with the hardships because their village was cut off from the rest of the world. They had no running water or even electricity for many decades. It’s then theorized that only those who were strong survived those times and they’re the ones alive today. Hardships are experienced by everyone, but those who embrace them grow stronger from them.

5. Relax nothing is under control.

In Ikaria, which is another rocky island in the Aegean Sea, inhabitants credited their long lives to living an easy going lifestyle. This involves taking naps, being stress free, drinking goat milk, and wine. They have close communities where they gather regularly to spend time with friends and people they care about, even at old age. The number of friends is not important as long as they are close friends. Find ways to laugh more every single day.

Indeed, there is no magic formula for living a healthy and long life. As long as your daily routine revolves around eating healthy food, living a simple and stress free life, and getting active, you’re doing your part to live into a ripe old age.
